Nutella 3,959 Posted June 27 Share Posted June 27 Chappell is talented, spunky & fun, but she is no Gaga. She has no Just Danceâs, no Poker Faceâs and No Paparazziâs in her debut album. She has ONE big song (Good Luck, Babe- which was NOT on her debut album) and even THAT song is not âearly Gagaâ level. She has a quirky sense of style and a flair for the dramatic, but she has less stage presence while performing, and a different approach to music in general. That isn't a bad thing. I want her to succeed, but by over-eagerly hyping her up (when she doesnât have much to show for herself YET) we are setting her up for failure & unfair scrutiny moving forward. We should be supportive without calling her âthe next Gaga,â âGagaâs daughterâ etc. 5 Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Edonis 28,624 Posted June 27 Share Posted June 27 Honestly, she feels more inspired by Electra Heart-era Marina than Gaga, but I think it's cool that yet another Gaga stan is getting fame! Talent and Taste wins again! 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

She pulled a bigger crowd than Ed Sheeran at Boston Calling, has 4 songs in the Billboard Hot 100 rn, her album is #8 on the Billboard charts, and her monthly listeners have gone from 1.5M in April to 20.9M in June. Sheâs, pretty objectively, exploding. If you feel the Gaga comparison is premature or inaccurate, thatâs fine, but I donât think you need to downplay her successes as a means of saying that she doesnât scratch that itch for you lolol.  Edited June 27 by Ladle Ghoulash Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

moonsago 6,518 Posted June 27 Share Posted June 27 (edited) I enjoy Chappell a lot, I think sheâs very talented and has great potential, Iâve been a fan since Pink Pony Club which remains one of my favorites from her but I have to be honest, I donât see or hear Gaga in her either. I really donât mind Gaga comparisons if they are appropriate, I am not the kind of fan to be unreasonably protective like that, but I simply donât see it with her and itâs unfair that the ones who do want to portray us all as either bitter or similar to MDNA fans just because our opinions differ.  I personally think some fans forgot Gagaâs early performances and maybe should revisit them because when I hear that Chappellâs Jimmy Kimmel performance is compared to them in terms of stage presence and theatrics I canât help but be confused... I am not saying Chappell is bad but she is definitely not as good and exciting as Gaga was. I know that the bar for popstars has been low ( not necessarily talent wise but overall package & presentation ) this past decade so I wonder if people arenât just too easily impressed to jump to such comparisons. I think Chappell gives me more early Marina musically than Gaga, Good Luck Babe! gives me major The Family Jewels vibes in terms of some production choices and especially vocal delivery wise, her operatic singing reminds me SO much of Marina. And this is not shade, Marina is in my top 3 artists alongside Gaga, so please donât view my take as a downgrade or shade because itâs not at all.  If the music doesnât sound similar, the themes and subjects explored arenât similar either, the concepts & visuals are a no too, the performances in terms of stage presence & choreos arenât alike, then what is in order to be compared so heavily? The fact that sheâs also a drag queen? How is that enough and how doesnât that reinforce my point that the bar for popstars is so low that the moment someone gives choreo she is the next Britney Spears ( Tate ) and when someone gives drag sheâs the next Lady Gaga? Iâm not convinced but again, I do enjoy Chappell and am looking forward to her evolution, she says she is inspired by Gaga and that makes me happy even if I donât really see it. Maybe itâs about nuances and maybe she has more to offer in the future which will prove so and if that happens I will be happy to see it. As I said, I donât mind Gaga comparisons they just have to make sense, remember, even Gaga said Britney inspired her, but did we actually see it in her in order to compare? No, so maybe itâs the same with Chappell. Edited June 27 by moonsago 1 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
