1D are only selling maybe a couple hundred more copies than Emeli already? this time tomorrow, OVOE may already be outselling MM. They're frontloaded fads.
They BARELY doubled their first week in the US and Story of My Life was a huge hit (their biggest) + they had a Target deal and a lot of promo.
tbh. I feel like our disinterest with pop girls comes from the fact that we stay centered on their every move. The reason we can look back and admire the past legends is cause we weren't there to witness the dry spells wrought with lack of creativity.
OOOOOOOORRRRRRRRRRRRRR...
it's because of our taste is actually developing into something more mature without yearning for cheap and terribly written bops anymore.
Mainstream pop is becoming boring and predictable.
Katy''s success is not surprising or impressive in the slightest. She reminds me of playing Tekken against someone who keeps repeating the same low-kick over and OVER and OVER again, and manages to win every time. It's like legal cheating.
This analogy surprisingly works I know the feeling all too well getting beaten by my father who kept doing the same move over and over again when I'm trying to be diverse by doing these combination attacks
Lonny Breaux was a mess. Nostalgia Ultra has a couple of amazing tracks, but you have to weed them out by way of useless interludes and wasteless track space.
Channel Orange was brilliant but Migurl just one upped him with Kaleidoscope Dream.
Besides Bad Religion, I wasn't feeling CO one bit. Miguel's "Use Me" alone kinda destroys his whole existence. What is he up to these days anyway? I haven't heard of him since Chris & co. beat him up.
