You probably grew up with Katy/gaga etc and felt that they're big part of your life. Stats dont lie. Dua lipa has more streams, more IG followers than current katy/gaga. I dont think she is THAT far from Katy/Gaga 10 years ago. Radical Optimism may have slowed her momentum but i think her numbers of hits and relevancy to the new gen are undeniable That‘s exactly it. That‘s why the people who grew up with Britney, Mariah and Madonna are dismissive of the success of the popstars of later generations, they experienced „their“ popstars in the most impactful time of their life. And it‘s kind of amazing to see our generation doing the same thing they used to call out and complain about without any self-awareness or a hint of irony. When Gaga & Katy did their respective SB Madonna‘s fans said it‘s too soon and Britney‘s fans said before Gaga & Katy did it her solo show would be overdue. And while that was also vibe and feelings based, they did at least have numbers/stats that did hold up and made sense, even if I see it differently. 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

I was about to put that down until i realised majority of the people here are doing the same to newer artists 🙊 Gaga and lil monsters have been there. Thought we would have more empathy 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Im just saying she isnt on the level of Gaga or Katy in terms of drawing a large audience to watch for Superbowl if im being honest... You can't really draw that conclusion until it happens. Can't just based on your "feeling". Stats wise, she is one of the strongest MPG out there. 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Even in gaga's "flop" era Joanne, which was when she did the sb, she was still a bigger name/influence than dua's now. You can't measure something like this with how many years into their career... Joanne was a flop era? mother, what must i do? Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

She has 87mil followers on IG Dua lipa is iconic to the Gen Z, just like how Gaga is iconic to Gen Y (mainly) respectfully, what has dua done that's iconic? IG followers mean nothing, what has she done that has people going "that's so dua lipa" outside of the One Kiss meme? because that's what iconic means... britney's snake, gaga bleeding on stage/wearing meat, madonna's cone bra, MJ's dance style/glove, prince and the colour purple, KISS and their make up, beyonce's single ladies look/Lemonade, katy perry's candy looks, rihanna's red hair, freddie mercury and his mic... these are good examples of actual iconic things because they transcend generations and dua is yet to have hers, imo mother, what must i do?
