COOOK 76,406 Posted December 1, 2020 Share Posted December 1, 2020 Two sophomore albums, two eras that delivered. Two pop singers that started out with few hits but it wasn't until their second LP that cemented them as Main Pop Girls. Although the Future Nostalgia era is still going on and with the SIDE B currently on the works, this is the closest we had to a Teenage Dream era in regards to commitment with singles, promo and delivery. Which era is your favorite so far? SIDE B will be the equivalent to The Complete Confection so we'll leave out Wide Awake and Part of Me.

Pennywise 35,841 Posted December 1, 2020 Share Posted December 1, 2020 As a whole, I like Future Nostalgia more. But the Teenage Dream era was legendary in terms of success and execution tbh So long ggd, it was nice while it lasted. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
yes and 4,884 Posted December 1, 2020 Share Posted December 1, 2020 Agree with the opinion about, I also like FN a lot, but it's just not it comparing to TD. Did you think I'd show up in a limousine? No Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
vyniildisk 12,689 Posted December 1, 2020 Share Posted December 1, 2020 Teenage Dream was born in a ideal, utopic world, where everything was perfect, economy was stable, people were happy, not even Gaga was a competition for Katy Dua did what she had to do in the MOST CHALLENGING time of our modern era, the worst human crisis EVER. She truly was a popstar fighting to thrive in adversity, bringing creativity and willpower to push her work forward Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Although I wouldn't say Katy's was in a "perfect world", but rather a world in which things worked, while Dua made things work!! Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
sexy 3,135 Posted December 1, 2020 Share Posted December 1, 2020 I loved Katy growing up, but my heart was always with Gaga, and I never really developed the affection for Teenage Dream that I did with other influential albums growing up. Teenage Dream's commercial success was so massive that it never felt like "my own", if that makes sense. Everybody liked her. Everybody was listening to her. Everybody knew the singles. Dua's in that perfect area between being underrated and overrated. DSN was a massive hit, yet was denied the #1. One of the biggest albums of the year, but debuted and peaked at #4. All of her follow-up singles have been hits, but Top 20 hits and no more (although we'll see what Levitating w DaBaby can do). FN also came at the start of this pandemic and I'll always tie Levitating and Pretty Please to this moment in my life. There's a certain intimacy in Dua's music that TD lacks. I can see myself revisiting FN for years to come, whereas I hardly ever listen to Teenage Dream anymore. I feel like TD's primary legacy was the commercial heights it reached rather than the quality of the music. FN is a sturdy pop album. TD feels kinda cheap listening to it in 2020.

Dr Fudge 8,581 Posted December 1, 2020 Share Posted December 1, 2020 While TD has performed better commercially, I just love how FN has more of a bite. Sonically FN has served big time. Been a cuff touple, a puff bupple, a tough couple of years. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
CannaeDrive 3,412 Posted December 1, 2020 Share Posted December 1, 2020 Objectively and factually, Teenage Dream (this coming from a non-fan of Ms Hudson). "Fame Is A Boomerang" - Maria Callas Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Regina George 59,387 Posted December 1, 2020 Share Posted December 1, 2020 So hard to choose... Both are iconic and booth are such a serve... I honestly cannot pick.. IMO FN took bigger risks and is a better improvement since first record.. I think FN’s sound is more of what I actually like Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
