is that a bad thing? Both really want to get the views, and get to the charts. At least they are keeping it more interesting in the video department than most pop male girls, that just do the minimum effort. I prefer Lil NasX being outside of the classic comfort zone, all feminine, queer, and strong, and just different than the norm, even if it is perceived as "he is trying to hard" For example, I like these two songs, but their videos are................ just plain karaoke screens, I wished they would have done something else

Hi, I was wondering where would place Rita Ora, is she a musician, if so, could she be labelled as successful? She does not strike me as the sales machine, nor streaming machine, nor critics baby, and fan favourite? not sure if she has a sizeable fanbase. Then she tried the acting department with 50 Shades of Grey franchise/Pokemon Detective Pikachu, but that didn't go far. Then she did some hosting and TV gigs, and this is also not something that you would call her massive achievement. She has done her share as a judge in Masked Singer UK and The X factor and the Voice UK/Australia. For fellow artists in her range (2 albums released) she seems to be stuck, and not really taking off much. Is it all related to some recording company drama? I remember she had some big issue between her first (2012) and second album (2018). What you think?

Well if she is the Queen, he is on his way to King -

hmmmm...

Another Dr Luke production/songwriting, Doja sure knows what's working for her

Hope all goes well @Jordan Miller, mostly since March 2020, everyone is going on a rollercoaster of emotions, feelings, overload of news, frustrations, contradictions, and trying to process everything, and keep moving. It is a rough year for everyone. So whatever your life change is, keep your head up, count to ten (Kimmy Schimdt) and then carry on. Every change has its stages, the first ones are the tough ones

Flops? Justice? Just cuz US does not have taste, does not mean that every band that is successful worldwide but not in USA means that they are a flop When will Justin ever hit Glastonbury.

I think she will do a “remix” version, and filme the video with Normani. That would be fireeeeeee

Not only it got nominated. IT WON.

and in that you are right. Shakira and JLo promote the **** of anything they do. Shakira will not be where she is after 30 years in the industry. She promotes every piece of work as if it was the first one. She has under her belt three FIFA World Cup ceremonies, far higher and more watched than the Super Bowl, if we are going to compare hardworking artists then yeah Shakira, The Weekend, JLo are doing what needs to be done. Britney said it best

Have you seen all the promotion for After Hours in 2020? Like SuperBowl was the closing set of that whole Era. I literally listed all the females that killed it in 2020. Selena did nothing in 2020 and wants to be recognized. Do we want to recognize half doing the job then she got it, but she did not promote Rare. Facts not a joke. List of females that did their thing in 2020 Little Mix Chloe x Halle Doja Cat Megan Thee Stallion Rina Sawayama Miley Cyrus Khelani Charli XCX Taylor Swift HAIM Jessie Ware Kylie Minogue Katy Perry Ava Max BlackPink Zara Larsson...

2020, we got so many artists doing the work, if you want people (masses) to listen you need to sing, make your voice heard. There are so many places where to promote. Little Mix Chloe x Halle Doja Cat Megan Thee Stallion Rina Sawayama Miley Cyrus Khelani Charli XCX Taylor Swift HAIM Jessie Ware Kylie Minogue Katy Perry Ava Max I have no listed any male artists, etc. I am not comparing how each of them do it, but what's key here is, they all promoted their work and put in the hours, each to their own ways. Consistency, effort and making your voice heard is what gets people to heard, read, and find your work. Selena's voice is great, I love it, she has a beautiful voice, and I know how difficult is for her to go on tour, huge crowds and how uncomfortable awards are for her, dont do that, find new ways of pushing your music into the world, specially in 2020 people found even newer ways to promote and entertain if you wanted directly from their homes

She could have used that to get a do over. I think that she hates performing, kinda similar to Zayn. which is a fair point. But then you can't expect music to perform well, or be reviewed, listened if you dont a) promote it b) if the piece of work is truly outstanding, then it will speak for itself, or c) promote it, if the work is average, but you stand behind it. Promoting on Covid times proved to be truly creative. Katy Perry promoted her work, was it Teenage Dream no, but she promoted remotely without people, without crowds, and she did that. Same for Chloe x Halle. Selena could have done that, no crowds, no huge stadiums, but she had a blank canvas to promote that album
