Well, it's not that good.

Wow

I wonder why all the pop girls are having such a hard time getting their music to stick this year outside of Gaga (We already know Taylor is a selling force, so she’s obviously not included lmao).

I haven’t listened to this yet but I can’t say I’m surprised.
 

I was all here for the sound of Holy Fvck and I thought the Revamp project was great. Wish she’d have stuck with a rockier sound, suits her voice very well.
 

The revert back to pop comes off as inauthentic and makes the last two projects look like she was just jumping on a trend.

I must say I like the album but it's true that after her funeral for her pop music it seems questionable, especially after her last two projects.

At least she got another Top Ten album in the US. The album didn't even chart in a lot of countries, eg in Germany. Although a saw a CD of this album in a local Mediamarkt.

I guess it is that deep (on the charts)

Jk, I love the album! I love everyone having their Brat moment

[Fish 6,211]

her voice is grating.

Demi killed her career. I don't think there's any coming back - commercially - from how she's behaved over the past few years.

Honey... no.

It sucks so much that they don't get the success they deserve. Demi was like Robyn in that she was almost always writing everything from the get-go. The fact that songs like Give Your Heart a Break, Heart Attack, Confident, etc. peaked "low" for their perceived success is so depressing.

I like a lot of Demi's music but she's damaged her public image beyond repair - and the current attempt at repairing it feels transparently inauthentic.

She did not write Give Your Heart a Break, and many of her songs, including hits like Neon Lights, Skyscraper and Stone Cold, were given to her. She did not even write Anyone, one of her most personal songs. I don’t think the songwriter argument works here. She is incredibly talented and a good songwriter, but she is incredibly open about the fact that she loves having co-writers and having songs given to her. I actually really respect her for not claiming to write all of her music and not demanding writing credits on all of her work. Demi is one of my all time faves so I just wanted to clarify that really! Very underrated artist with an overall incredibly solid discography, and a top 10 album nearly 20 years in is pretty impressive, she might not hit the top of the charts ever again but she has cultivated a devoted fanbase. As long as she keeps appealing to them all will be good.

That's why I said they mostly write them, though I am happy to see that she openly states that she has songs written for her. Yeah a top 10 album while being close to 20 years into their music career is pretty good. But yeah they are very underrated for sure though.

I guess my issue is how you think that she in particular did the damage. What do you think they did that specifically played a role?

Not my response but the 4 part documentary series about her drug addiction that ended with her saying she wasn’t ever giving up drugs + the frozen yogurt incident + being nonbinary for a week really made most people dislike her. All of these were prominent pop culture moments too reported by actual media outlets, not just online or Stan twitter.
