Even with an impressive string of 4 gold albums under her belt, the songstress is still struggling to command the attention of the public like her peers. Her 5th era started promising with the #11 peaking "Cool For The Summer" but now her Max Martin follow-up "Confident" is decreasing on Itunes while her new album (available for Pre-order) is already out of the Top 10.
She has everything lined-up to smash: so who's to blame, ATRL? Hollywood Records? Her music producers? Her Disney background? Her promo team? The tasteless GP? Or herself?.
I feel like some of it is to do with her past image, being involved with drugs and going to rehab turned people off of her. Selena always had a cleaner image and Miley was top bitch so it didn't matter what she did.
Lots of us really want her to But this album she's stepping in the right direction in terms of promo. We just have to wait and see how she treats Confident (the song) because I am confident that it'll do better than CFTS. It's just gonna click with the GP more.
She's trying to keep up with miley but she's too tame to follow in her footsteps. Meanwhile Selena is winning because she found her own moody sexpot lane.
Her promo isn't really where it needs to be, to be receptive with the GP. Doesn't mean it isn't quality. And I suspect there will be some bops that are much more radio friendly
