Teletubby 134,087 Posted May 1 Share Posted May 1 "...in the beginning, I was doing interviews and people were like, ‘How do you deal with hate?’ I’m like I don’t get any,” she says in an exclusive Rolling Stone clip of the interview. “And then that changed really quickly.” Lipa explained that after she won the coveted Best New Artist award, people tweeted online that she “wasn’t deserving” of the honor. ‘”She’s got no stage presence. She can’t do this. She’s not well equipped. She won’t be here next year though.’ There was a lot of that and that fueled me in a way,” Lipa tells Lowe in the clip. “I try not use criticism as this revenge thing but it does push you in a way.” “Whenever I see or feel or read anything that goes against what I know is coming … I just kind of take a step back and I just go, ‘All of this is background noise and I should just stick on my path,'” she adds. “Because every time someone has doubted me, I’ve proved them wrong. This is fueling me, this is pushing me to be better, to work hard.” She ends: “I get a real kick out of proving people wrong.” source the full interview with Zane Lowe: ⸜(• ◡•)⸝♡🐀💨🚽 1 2 9 Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lucas 23,972 Posted May 1 Share Posted May 1 She's right about this. I remember her stage presence and dancing skills being criticized but once the Future Nostalgia era started she did a lot of efforts and improved so much her performing skills. She definitely worked really hard during the FN era and deserves respect for this! 2 1 2 Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
HeavyMetal Halcyon 1,483 Posted May 1 Share Posted May 1 Everytime I read something about Radical Optimism that is negative, I get a spark of joy about how this might propel her to the next level. Radical Optimism might be a flop, but I think Dua does REALLY well with critisim, as we've seen with her dancing and stage presence, but also with teasing a song too early. She only started promoting illusion 1 week before, unlike Training Season. She is listening. So I am excited for what this era will spark in her for the next.

ModernEcstasy 8,270 Posted May 1 Share Posted May 1 (edited) I really admire that about her. It annoys me how she put in so much effort to change her entire act, but it’s once again not good enough for people. Why is fun music not okay? Everybody’s a critic these days. I’ve loved absolutely everything she’s put out since her Debut. I saw her perform when she released “Be the One” and then saw her on the FN tour last year. The switch up was incredible.

Elohim 1,454 Posted May 1 Share Posted May 1 (edited) It’s good that it fueled her, because she really didn’t had a stage presence. anyways I still find her very boring as an artist. Edited May 1 by Elohim 3 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

DopeEnigma 859 Posted May 1 Share Posted May 1 (edited) I’m surprised after how successful FN was, a great album by the way, how this album is such a complete misfire and just so boring. It’s just soulless, with all the money from the last era, it feels like they half assed it. The production is terribly basic. Hope the bad reviews do fuel her because it should, this wasn’t good. Nothing is interesting enough for a repeat listen, sorry 🤷♂️ Edited May 1 by DopeEnigma Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Plastic Flower 3,720 Posted May 1 Share Posted May 1 I hope she proves me wrong with the album. Or next album lol. Drop it Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Posted May 1 Share Posted May 1 Recently I've been listening to 'Future Nostalgia' quite a lot. I'm not really gelling with her new material but I guess people listening to her older music is still a win for her I don't know. The new material so far just seems like she's bored. I'm not sure if it's just my take on it but she's playing fat too safe. Hopefully she will branch out into other genre's in the future because her sound sounds tired and overdone.
