Carly Rae Jepsen could’ve put up Drake numbers last year. In a just world, she’d be Queen of Smash Hits. Alas. But this isn’t just some fantasy music crit elitism here. It’s a rational appraisal of how the pop landscape has shifted over the last several months: After years in the eccentric pop era, stars are swinging in the opposite direction, to the side of normalization.
Gaga’s rise felt like some new path opening up, and in the wake of her rise to pop’s upper echelon, other major stars’ images and sounds became brasher and more self-consciously over-the-top. Kesha was a neon party monster, Katy Perry shot confections out of her chest, Nicki Minaj had more wig colors than rap voices. Even Kanye West joined in, donning masks during his manic artiste episode in 2012-13.
So it stands to reason that if relatable rules the day, Carly should reign, since that’s the exact space she has been mastering for the last four years. Alas, Queen of Spotting Trends will have to suffice.
Not young MJ and young Foster befriending in a pic
I hope he realizes how close he was to being debunked completely by the GP because of this kid getting a hit with his family group and even solo, and the Jackson 5 was flopping horribly then.
I don't come in this thread ever but is this really the content that is supposed to get posted? I've read through the last few pages and have read nothing like "vicious argument about celebs, artists, music, charts/sales, etc." as it states in the rules.

Well I did kind of shade MJ for being friends with him at THAT TIME
Four studio albums, three soundtrack albums, two compilation albums, two headlining world tours, almost a dozen films.
The pop girls would DIE trying to do all of that in a decade.
Eh, this is just Cracker fanfiction. Ayumi Hamasaki released 10 studio albums, 1 EP, 5 compilation albums, 19 remix albums, 10 remix EPs, 13 tours. Between 1999-2009.
The Asian girls have been doing it bigger and better since the advent of Jpop. Mediocre white people stay getting credit for nonsense. Hustle my booty sweat
