If Adele didn't breakthrough, how would Lady Gaga be doing?
If Adele didn't breakthrough with "Rolling In The Deep" back in 2011, how do you think Lady Gaga would be doing right now?
Adele has made a huge impact in the music scene with her breakthrough. Back then, everyone used to be fascinated with Gaga's extravaganza and weird outfits/etc. But then Adele came in, a simplistic artist who only portrayed raw talent. Ever since, Lady Gaga's career has been declining - to the very least.
The GP started to prefer more simplistic songs and artists. No weird music videos, outfits, performances and such.
Do you think Lady Gaga would still be 'the top' girl if Adele hadn't broke through the scene, or do you think her career would be the same as it is right now?
(No flamebait towards Lady Gaga by the way, I'm just curious)
I don't think Adele is the problem, it's just that the other pop girls stepped up their game while the GP's interest for Gaga has decreased. It's natural, it happens to every artist at some point.
I wouldn't necessarily say that Adele is the reason for Gaga's decline in the success of her music. I mean, Born This Way was a pretty good album, but it was a mess. We can't blame that on Adele's success. I mean, Adele still would've pulled out on top and been the bigger artist, but I think a lot of people expected more pop music from Gaga and what they got was less pop. "Yoü and I" wasn't a flop, but it wasn't that big of a hit either, and we all know how "Marry the Night" turned out. I'm pretty sure everyone started flopping once Adele achieved worldwide success, though. People just consider Gaga one of the people that took a harder hit though because of how hard the last two singles from Born This Way flopped.
Gaga would have done better in 2011. But nothing would change this year seeing as its only Katy and Gaga and no Adele.
But even Katy has changed her image simply because of Adele's huge impact on simplicity in the music industry. She's more reserved and went for the more 'natural' image this era.
Adele the ANTI GAGA!!!! Her power If Adele didn't show up she would be slaying right now but too bad Adele came along. Adele snatched the weaves of so many pop girls
Born This Way (the entire era) would've been bigger then it was because nobody else would be stealing her shine. Also ballads and more serious songs wouldn't have become such a trend
Success or not, Adele will stay fangirling for GaGa who is an inspiration of hers.
Adele is kind enough to bless so many artists with her stamp of approval at you saying Gaga is her inspiration though. It's probably vice versa after that complete slayage Adele has put upon the pop girls
Bitch please. Adele has rarely acknowledged Gaga's ass outside of that tweet about that forgotten iTunes set.
Let's be real though: at the moment Adele is a two-hit wonder. She dominated 2011 but her career is roughly equivalent to Carly Rae Jepsen's. We'll see how well she does when she drops her next album.
