I see lies in the op, Stefani's sold out from the start before getting signed with Interscope.

So you're saying she sold out with Red and Blue? Ok.

Lily ****ing Allen
Also P!nk
Marina never did it too except for 1 song but let's just ignore that one


To me selling out is when an artists stops writing their music and stops being involved in their art

Doesn't every pop star engage in the compromising of integrity, morality, or principles in exchange for personal gain, such as money? Pretty sure Gaga and Bey both love their money.

Money is a necessity. EVERYBODY needs it. And you don't have to compromise any of those things in order to make it.

Florence and P!nk.

The point is, artistic integrity was never compromised. What on BTW exactly screams "bubblegum pop" and "commercial"? None of it.

Not all Top Ten songs are exactly commercial or sell outs. Look at Somebody That I Used To Know and Rolling In the Deep.

I just had to call you out for saying that BTW did good despite not having good performing singles, cause it clearly did. Carry on.

I don't think she completely got rid of all of her artistic integrity, obviously, but going from working with Linda Perry and Tim Armstrong to Max Martin and Dr. Luke is pretty much... selling out.

The quality of her music may have decreased a bit (subjective) but that's not equal to selling out.

And the songs she created with Max/Luke were great and more importantly, they were signature P!nk style. So she didn't sell out

Rihanna has never stuck to one genre at any point in her career so you can't really say she sold out of anything. I agree with the other two though.

Well technically Gaga's already been "weird" and talented before she signed with Interscope

[Soda Pop Queen]

Bjork
Radiohead
John Frusciante

[Onen]

The only ones I can think of are Luther vandross, Corinne bailey Rae and Lizz wright.

[jqnetto]

There are many artists, but none of them are pop stars.

[Rigalo]

P!nk has "sold out" to some extent imo. She herself has even talked about how she hates some of her records because they aren't really her.

[MrBeyonceFan]

Beyoncé.

Honey I think looking at the contrast between her first album and her last one, it's pretty clear Gaga was a sellout from the beginning and then tried to gain some respect by taking a direction that seemed more true to herself when she could afford to.

"selling out" is really a confusing thing to me though... It's kind of unfair that someone like Marina for example can't make an electropop record because that wasn't what she chose to do with her first album without being called a sell out, but people like Beyonce have been making radio friendly music from the beginning and they aren't "sell outs".
