King of hearts was acclaimed, The boys was acclaimed, and her first album was very well received by critics (Although it is not on metacritic) . Comparing this to CRJ is wrong, who is a one hit wonder pop singer.
Thanks. So many quotables... Let me just start off with the obvious one that I continue to belabor
"...but she seems to be focused on a future Forbes cover down the line."
She better navigate that sht this year. This is her best chance
12M AI, 10M to party, record breaking fragrance sales, contract signed for clothing line (advances), royalties, Pepsi, Adidas and other advertisements. On top of that she has dominated radio overall, dominated the press, dominated award show wins and sparked controversy while still being successful.
Gaga and Madonna were touring forces but not big in any other areas and took nosedives in radio, Justing Bieber and RIhanna's tour grosses will be split in between Forbes cutoff. Adele doesn't have anything outside of incredible sales and awards.
As stated in July 2012, she will amass $40M+ for Forbes 2013. She NEEDS to be on the cover and I hope that this was some sort of hint. Really, who else will come for ha wig.
By the time her 3rd era comes, musically she will have evolved but music, radio, sales, controversy and media impact will not be as heightened as it was for her in 2012.
"Macy's was so stoked- they couldn't keep it in stores." Pink Fridays record breaking sales.
So glad people are loving the fragrance
"Nicki is not one of those artists that allow her representatives to make decisions for her."
Boss
"I've seen so many mistakes made by artist who weren't paying attention-and that can derail a career."
Exactly...learned from the past mistakes and put the business side first and all will come into place.
"One of the things nobody understands about me is that everything thus far has gone according to plan."
Thank you.
She's always wanted to brand herself.
-The mixtapes were to prove she can rap
-Buildup to her debut plus features during her debut album was to prove she can be feature on any person's song and steal the show with the most memorable verse.
-Her debut album was to prove that she can blend gritty songs with crossover songs in a collage of dance pop, r&b, hip hop, hip pop styles with relatable, inspirational, cheeky/fun and also cut-throat ish talking music
-Her 2nd album was to prove she can do a half pop and half hip hop album that will expand her fanbase to go on arena tours and go global and not just as a features artist. She made mistakes by going too extreme but rebounded nicely as she still sold decent and endured the controversy and backlash
-Her 2013 3rd album will be to prove after the backlash and pushing the extreme that she learns to reel it in and learns from past mistakes and goes back into her urban roots but next level ish that we've never heard. Her fans will deem it a classic since it will be so much better than PF:RR but the public might or might not agree. THey will agree that it is solid and better than her 1st two albums.
-Her 2015 4th album will be her classic record after she spends the 3rd album repairing minor damage from the 2nd era.
-Her 2017 5th album will not be a classic but a solid record and great way to bow out gracefully.
A 2018 or 2019 GH will be there just because she can.
No lies at all. I totally agree.
