a bad personality can ruin a good singers' career: Christina

a good personality can prolong a mediocre singers' career: Britney

a good personality can prolong a good singers' career (even with inconsistent music): Kelly


but there are lots of examples to disprove each of those points so I think in reality there are too many factors involved to say that personality alone can ruin (or better) someones career. I mean (in my opinion) Madonna has a terrible personality and is a mediocre singer and look at her career

I think what atrlster is trying to say is tha Xtina isn't the bitch everyone thinks she is. More like she's a normal bitch, and we all know the pop divas are natural bitches. My opinion is that Xtina is a tempered girl not unkind to others and has an ego, not more than anyone would think, just that she's not so socially smart as other pop divas.

I mean you can have a stone heart and still be perceived as being nice only if you're socially smart, like Katy Perry.

I mean one of the reasons I dislike Katy Perry is that in exchange of Xtina, maybe she knows how to act socially, but she's a royal bitch at heart.



For example if Gaga was on her shoes instead, she would have hugged the reporter back.

Lol I'm a straight guy. If I were an artist and a gay reporter tries to hug and kiss me I would certainly kick his as's.

Isn't there a gif out where you can see Gaga and when a fan try to get an autograph he get brutaly beaten down by a bodyguard and Gaga seems to be unbothered?

In short you can nitpicking on every artist it is up to you, and it says more about you, than about the artist.

I think it does ruin a singer's career.

That's why Britney, Katy, Gaga, Kelly and Taylor will always remain successful and that's because they have amazing personalities.

Katy is one of the most humble human beings ever and the general public sees that.

Gaga, she might seem a little crazy but bitch cares about her fans and she has talent and yeah she doesn't think too might of herself just speaks her mind and I think people have learn to deal with it.

Britney might be a little robotic at times but she's still the best thing to ever happen to pop music since Madonna and she's still a beautiful sweet and humble girl.

It's not about all that stuff. It's not about having the "x factor" or being "nice" and "genuine".

If you don't inspire people you will bore them. They will get tired of you. This is why Kanye West does so well. He is a really inspiring artist. People love to see what he'll wear, what he'll say. He's exciting. You have to give people what they want. Something to admire.

I think that some artist fall under this category but some artist are not there to give people what they want. Sometimes you have to be ahead of the curve and bridge the gap between the artists' vision and what the audience will embrace but sometimes you don't have to marry the two.
Good points, though. I mean, you can't bore or offend/turn off people and expect a career. People throw Madonna around as if she didn't have the smarts, charm and charisma to offend a certain group yet have a fanbase embrace her. I guess it's a lot harder for some...

This.

What's funny is that no matter what the debate is back and forth, it's still true that a bad personality can ruin a career...no matter how many excuses the proof is in the pudding.
