Dua: "Trolling over viral dance vid messed with my mental health"

[vyniildisk 12,689]

“I experienced a s*** tonne at the end of my first record, and it was definitely something that gave me anxiety and made me upset and made me feel like I wasn’t good enough and made me feel like, maybe I’m not meant to be here and on the stage,” she recalls.

“Even after the Grammys, some people were like, ‘Well, she doesn’t deserve it.’”

Dua – who won best new artist and best dance recording at the Grammys last year – is all too aware of the video of her dancing that went viral, doing the rounds as a mocking meme.

“There were so many things, especially when you start out, like a video of me dancing and they’re like, ‘Ah well, she has no stage presence’ – but they’d never been to one of my shows, they’d never seen me perform.

Boohoo, you're an artist, people will criticize you. They'll criticize your performances, your voice, your albums, your songs, your lyrics, your videos and so on and so forth. If you're not strong enough to take it maybe stay off social media like Selena Gomez did. And crying about it to the press is classless. You never hear about Gaga crying that people don't like her outfits or choreos or performances just saying

This, unfortunately. Not saying that anyone deserves to be bullied, but this is exactly what’s expected when you’re famous.

If you’re lacking at all, people will point it out. Those dance moves were lacking and she went on stage with them anyways. I don’t really feel sorry for her here, I think that this moment she’s talking about genuinely brought a lot of people a good laugh. Traumatizing for her, surely, but her choreographer should probably be answering for this one.

does she still work with the same choreographer?

The point of this story is that she got over it, perfected her craft and came back dancing and slaying the charts at the same time, don't start now is the most succesful female song of 2020 Billboard LITERALLY had to remove it from the chart because the slayage would.not.stop i heard it was sold out on apple music too btw

She obviously is strong enough to take it, as she's still slaying left and right. Doesn't mean she's not a human that has real struggles.. This is pretty tone-deaf of you to type on a Gaga fansite, she preaches about kindness & mental health literally all the time.

I've been to one of her shows, I've seen her perform..... and well,

Was it before her resurgence as the female michael jackson? Or prior to future nostalgia?

Yes, it was. So I'm sure she has grown and become more polished. I love Dua and can't wait to see her live again.

Im sorry but as an artist you will get criticized, that's how it is. I understand it's tough, but to talk about it to the media as though people shouldn't criticize her dance, performances, lack of stage presence etc because it makes her feel "sad", is just weird... You chose to get on stage with that choreography that you personally thought was fine as a performance, people didn't like it, move on! Did Britney talk about how Perez Hilton and many other "journalists" completely demolished her when she went on stage for the VMAs in 2007 with an outfit that doesn't flatter her, and a choreo that was underwhelming + she didn't seem ready at all. No! Because that's the damn business you're in as an artist. Did Michael Jackson cry to the press when his album in 2001 had bad reviews and fans found it underwhelming? Nope. Did Gaga cry to the press when she got backlash after her paparazzi performance where blood came out of nowhere and some found it distasteful? Nope. And the list goes on and on. Dua needs to realize this is life as an artist, take it or leave it. As I said, some self proclaimed "artist" like Selena Gomez choose not to get on social media too much cus it affects them, maybe she should do the same and let other handle real life and criticisim instead
