BBC News: From Katy Perry's comeback to the Joker sequel: 15 celebrity flops and fails of 2024 1. Katy Perry's comeback It was supposed to be a triumphant return, but critics and fans complained Katy Perry's latest album 143 sounded dated and showed little artistic growth. The music video for Woman's World, which saw Perry join a group of dancers wearing tiny outfits on a construction site, was criticised for being regressive, although Perry later said it was supposed to be satirical. Matters were only made worse when the singer attracted the attention of the Spanish government for shooting the video for follow-up single Lifetimes in ecologically-sensitive sand dunes in the Balearic Islands. But many fans defended the album, which wasn't as bad as some reviews made out, and Perry's accompanying tour has been a huge success. 2. Joker bombing at the box office Making a sequel to 2019's Joker, which grossed more than $1bn (£790m), was something Hollywood found simply irresistible. Unfortunately, the resulting film, Joker: Folie à Deux, was something audiences found entirely resistible. Making the film a musical was a bold swing, but the tonal handbrake turn alienated the fans and critics who adored the Oscar-winning original. Folie à Deux managed to scrape over the $200m (£158m) mark, but that was barely enough to cover its production budget, let alone marketing costs. It wasn't the only movie flop of the year - audiences were also unenthusiastic about Madame Web, The Fall Guy, Kraven the Hunter, Megalopolis, Borderlands, Argylle, Unstoppable and Furiosa: A Mad Max Story. ... Other flops on the list include Joe Biden's debate performance, the Olympics opening ceremony, and the Bridgerton Ball. https://www.bbc.com/news/articles/c8jy3v2lpweo If you are at home and you are sitting on your couch and you are reading this right now, all I have to say is that flopping is hard work. I've worked hard for a long time and it's not about... you know... it's not about...winning. But... What it's about is... It's about...um...

Probably an unpopular opinion but it feels like she’s done this type of performance already and I’m not super blown away. It’s good though

And Katy beat Gaga once again to the no. 1 position. It’s Applause vs Roar all over again #YouWontUseMyMind

is this the first time y'all not thirsting a white man?

So convenient, when the dad did not get any money anymore from her, the kids now wanna be close to Britney instead of putting up distance. Happy for Britney, hope she is treated with love and respect, and not as walking and breathing ATM

The whole thing was an exhibition of BLACK country (specifically Texas) culture. The entire thesis of Cowboy Carter existing in general. The majorettes and HBCU marching band, the juneteenth and rose parade motifs, the lowriders, black cowboy fashion, the american flag rodeo ceremony, the texas two step and line dancing, the chitlin circuit stage styling, etc. There are definitely some similarities to some of her earlier work because that's where she came from and those are her roots, but we've literally never seen all these cultural touchstones put up on worldwide screens like this before. I honestly don't know what else she could've done that would've made it a better production. BUT everyone is entitled to their opinion. I guess it just doesn't hit the same for some that don't know exactly what they were looking at. Oh well! Can't please everyone She slayed regardless.

yep starting today Christmas song will start melting like ice under sun

The fact LG7 is already around 2M copies sold WW

Was posted a few minutes ago on Gaga Media Archives' account!

Someone please offer a job to those poor people that have time to track who Ava Max and Bebe Rexha follow

Oof. Well we got a mini era out of it that unlocked a new flavor of Gaga singing and (imo) a killer film. I'm taking it as a win for us anyways 💃🏽

Ozempic can’t fix your busted face musk rat

My God they are choreographed tò the T, like this olympics levels but i could with much less. 30 transition from music with band and choir doing some ooooooolh chant for the 50th time, another change in scenery, another car, another dancing formation, another typical accapela harmonizing, more clapping. Im so over her presentations. It was all executed perfectly though, her voice was perfect. I cant wait for this era to be over its all so corny and don't love the songs

It's joined the pile, I fear. They probably pulled the plug on everything Joker adjacent which is disappointing

December 2008: - US Economy in the dumpster - Housing market a nightmare - US election sends ripples across the globe - Lady Gaga has a collaboration that has been gaining steam on the charts for months and looks like it will top the Hot 100 for the first time during the last week of an unpopular presidency.

That’s cool and all, but when is he going to announce new feet pics?

How about we pretend 2024 didn’t happen

Welp it is what it is but at least we got a beautiful album Harlequin. Also, Furiosa does not deserve to be among those flop movies. It is actually better than that.

Maybe someone forgot to press record

I was holding out hope it would be a holiday special, but since there hasn’t been word of it since October, think it’s safe to assume it has been shelved.

what’s the point of negative lists like these

I think the stability of Disease is a great sign. It might not become huge, but with the fans still streaming it, the song being projected to come back in the Hot 100 and being added to the new playlist at #1, it could potentially chart in the 50s on January 11. It’s still quite unknown to the GP, so it can still be a come back mark for her, and if they decide to finally push it in playlists and a handful of impactful performances, it could climb to the 10s on the Hot 100. Not hoping for too much tbh, but who knows. I don’t think Gaga would really benefit for an other collab being pushed right now.

The war is over, we are healing

Tour, ma'am. I actually wanna go It took a freaking cowboy album to get me into Beyoncé

Impeccable presentation. Nobody’s touching her ability to make every performance look so good.
