9 Forgotten Features From Beyonce, Katy, Gaga And More
Quote:
Once a pop star is firmly established, we know her persona inside and out. Rihanna is DGAF personified, Katy Perry is the queen of pinup kitsch, Lady Gaga is our resident reverse Warholian artist-in-residence and Beyoncé — hallowed be her name — reigns benevolently from above like the ***flawless goddess that she is.
But, what about before each of these pop ladies had gotten the public’s attention? By flipping back to the earliest days of their respective catalogs, we can see the very beginnings of their now-ubiquitous identities taking root. This is especially true when you listen to their earlier features, where they, as young artists just starting out, might have had even less say over their overall look, sound and feel.
So without further ado, let’s check out nine of these “Forgotten Features.” It will be fun, weird and kinda mind-blowing in places, but most of all it’s not work.
1.) Wale’s “Chillin” featuring Lady Gaga
2.) 3OH!3′s “Starstrukk” featuring Katy Perry
3.) Flo Rida’s “Right Round”
4.) Amil’s “I Got That” featuring Beyoncé
5.) Diddy’s “Tell Me” featuring Christina Aguilera
6.) Memphis Bleek’s “The One” featuring Rihanna
7.) Borgore’s “Decisions” featuring Miley Cyrus
8.) MIKA’s “Popular Song” featuring Ariana Grande
9.) Jeffree Star’s “Lollipop Luxury” featuring Nicki Minaj
The hit that got away.
