Ava Max responds to comparisons to Gaga on her new album

[Jase 13,317]

I like her but c'mon...nobody is mentioning Ava Max and Lady Gaga in the same breath in 2025 

[Magneto 13,436]

Also, the entire album leaked already. Poor thing

I like her. She is a pretty solid cover artist

Honestly, Sweet but Psycho & Salt were great songs.

And then she just fell off hard.

Her entire last album Diamonds  & Dancefloors was amazing from start to finish. Not one bad song.

It was a solid B tier album for me personally. 

Lacked the punchiness of the early Ava Max tracks.

I don't hate her at all, I think her songs sound great and are extremely catchy. Even some of her leaked outtakes are incredible 

that said, as someone who really likes her, I think she has had some trouble carving her own identity. it's one thing to sample/interpolate a song, but it's another to base a "new" song around a still-popular, very identifiable song... and she's released/been featured on a bunch of those, so it gives the perception that she piggybacks on other hits for success. AGAIN, I love her music- but I can understand this criticism 

as for Gaga comparisons, I've definitely heard certain vocal inflections during Ava's live performances that seemed super reminiscent of Gaga's unique style. idk if it was intentional, but it goes back to what I said about needing to carve out her own identity. then there's also the way she plays with repetitive constant sounds a la Gaga... something Gaga did, and still does, that's largely associated with her most mainstream songs.

and then like... showing up to a talk show dressed like this was a pretty undeniable comparison

I mean, come on

I just wanna know more of Ava outside of the psuedo-party girl lyrics that she sings. She is a GREAT vocalist, and I really hope she doesn't become a wasted talent because of trying to turn gimmicks into quick success. 

I agree with all you said but saying she copied the look is a reaaaach

Rita Ora would never

I haven't heard a single comparison since Sweet But Psycho, thankfully 

This. Ur gonna have hundres or thousands of comments daily. U can cherry pick almost any few and highlight them in retweet to create whatever narrative u want. 

 

I dont think ppl broad based are making these comparisons now

 

Its like when ppl who make documentories interview ppl and they all have the opinion that proved their point and make that opinion seem so popular. Meanwhile they probably interviewed like 100 people and selected only the 5 that proved the point they are trying to prove
