I loved the play version for years and just found out this year that the original version is by a group called i5. I was shook lol. Their version is on youtube if you want to hear it.
I don't know why everyone forgets about Bruno Mars when talking about successful male artists. The success of the 24K Magic era was literally insane, he even won album of the year at the grammys. He has never had an unsuccessful release.
he literally has more diamond hits than any other male artists and they’re all impactful and iconic yet nobody gives him the credit like 💀 he definitely the prince of pop
@@leonardoversace1557 he is DEFINITELY not local, he is 1000x more "international" than Shawn Mendes, Harry Styles, Lil Nas X, 5SOS, he just doesn't have a huge online presence and him not releasing an album in 5 years since stan culture has soared doesn't help :) Bruno has a HUGE fanbase, he's broken 4 Guinness World Records, and I mean man just look at his wiki page he holds so many Billboard records.... "Six of his singles are counted among the best-selling singles of all time".
@@musicreversed1113 they were literally forced by their old label cause they thought it selled best for them also little me, move, salute, confetti, sweet melody etc aint teen bubblegum pop except for black magic
I can't imagine western artists doing a weekly show just for their fans. Like who are they even gonna play with? But I do think that Doja has that energy. She's a great performer and entertainer too.
@@moumuooo.o2283 Most K-Pop groups only relase twice (no pun intended not talking about the group TWICE) a year rookie groups (groups under 2 or 3 years old) might sometimes realese three times a year just due to the fact that they are trying to establish themselves in a SUPER competive industry, other than that their doing normal things an artist does & thats practicing or working on their new project or other jobs that they are obligated to do like model or hosting a show or acting on a K-Drama
@@J7nty shes not the greatest performer but when its just her standing still and singing then its so good. Her music touches people and thats what matters. Her power is in the connection not the choreography and I think thats okay! I'm fine and prefer an artist who strips it down.
@@linksey yo it’s not ab me, i loved red tv and all the vault songs (message in a bottle no. 1) and haven’t stopped listening to it since it came out, but as you said, no one has a long attention span and yes it’s not Taylor’ fault.
@@brrrr2237 honestly though Swifties aren’t toxic and I really do love them and I love taylor but they are pretty annoying. They will bring taylors name into a video that has nothing to do with her😭
I feel like Halsey is one of the few artists that really did interact with her fans in a lot of ways throughout the pandemic. She's constantly interacting with fans on Twitter, talking about life and her music, while also releasing music, and other things like make up and a book in that period
I disagree, in 2020 so many superstars with the exception of like justin bieber and ariana grande released albums. Adele, ed sheeran, beyonce, Drake, postponed their albums and era's. Folklore although is a lyrically good album, the female artist relevancy thing has been affecting her albums, for years now taylor has been releasing her albums with merchandise and tour bundles, with promotion and remixes or delas with discount retailers to get her sales hence she has never had highest selling album globally
-TikTok is ruining the music scene. Maybe this isn’t unpopular but it has to be said. These songs rely on a catchy line and hope people will use them and get viral. Boring. -Kpop artists work too damn hard and deserve better treatment from their managers and labels. -Normani needs to change her label. dropping one single and disappearing after it is doing a lot of damage to her longevity. -Little Mix is one of the most underrated girl groups in history despite them being the most consistent in their performances and vocal abilities. -Same people who cringed at one direction are now Harry styles sluts. -Taylor is the best songwriter of our generation and NOTHING can change my mind. This woman has had a lot of success but is artistically underrated with her vision and creation ability. Thanks for coming to my TedTalk
i agree with literally all of these, especially the one about tiktok, harry styles, and taylor swift. - while i don't mind tiktok as a platform for skits and comedy and stuff like that, artists shouldn't have to be depending on it for their songs to chart or get successful. - yeah, i watched the blackpink documentary recently and it really made my heart break realizing that a lot of kpop artists like them are probably going through the same things. - yes. just yes. she has so much potential, but she isn't using it!!! - definitely. the lyrics of their songs aren't excellent, but they're still good, and their vocals are just out of this world. - exactly!! but that might have been because his singing and lyricism has really matured since one direction. still doens't change ths facts though, the people who hated on one direction are now stanning harry styles. - i stand with this one the most. people keep saying that she uses merch and stuff to promote herself, but there's a reason she got famous that stands out the most, and that is her songwriting ability!! the all too well 10 minute version just proves it, people aren't saying they cried listening to it for nothing. and folklore and evermore mainly focused on her lyricism, and i'm so happy about that, because it just proved to the haters that she didn't get famous for nothing. glad to see someone that shares so many of my opinions!!
Yes, Doja Cat is one of those once in a lifetime stars. The reason we like her so much is because she gives us the early 2000s/2010s girlys vibe that we have been missing. She gives her all and we all appreciate that. The same goes for the K-pop industry they give their all and us fans support them for that.
"there is a difference between a singer and an artist" I have been saying this about Selena for YEARS. the reason she is as big as she is is because she makes good MUSIC, and you don't need to belt every lyric to be a good musician. The disrespect on her name is OFFENSIVE.
i just dont get why she is famous like she was a good actor but she doesnt have vocal ability and cant write songs her songs are generic so like what is she famous for? not just her tho theres so many like her theyre just made up to be famous and a money machine
Lyrics are the main thing you should worry about when being a artist. I'm sorry but people tune out on Selena because good production isn't gonna make you famous anymore.
@@shisexee That’s ridiculous. People listen to artists like Dua Lipa, Ariana Grande, etc for the catchy production and Melodies. Don’t give me this bs that artists are only about lyrics LOL! Production matters too! You all just like to drag Selena for no reason.
Lets try with this one: "evermore" is more a realistic album with adult situations and where such deep aspects of life are touched, and that's the reason why it didn't get the hype and praise "folklore" got, by the fans or the media. "folklore" seems like a daydream album, almost unrealistic (except for epiphany).
to be honest, taylor didn't really give time and publicized evermore and it deserved, imo it's just a good as folklore but she jumped right into fearless era
i think why we got so much music this year / why its kinda becoming over saturated is because litterally everyone has released an album this year ( if not last year )because we are finally seeing what quarntine inspired for all them. like every major artist that has been slient for years ( cough adele, cough lorde ) dropped something. so it's nice to get music from everyone but i think having litterally every major artist drop this year was almost too much for everyone
What's wrong with a variety? Also, not EVERYONE is a fan of those artists or likes that kind of music. I listened to about 30+ albums last year--and not just from last year--and it was a great distraction.
@@monsterhanna6691 i'm not saying it's wrong or bad by any means haha. some of my favorite albums of all time have been released this year ( happier than ever, sour, IICHLIWP, solar power, planet her, ect ) but i'm just saying that the music scene feels so saturated right now because EVERYONE has dropped something. which again, isn't a bad thing. it's just now it feels like a new album is dropping every month so we don't even have time to digest past albums because it's just release after release after release after release. yk?
not an unpopular one but one that definitely needs to be discussed is that female artists get shamed and hated for writing and singing about their oast relationships, and everyone always tries to link their music to their exes but when make artists do that, people never question it, and even go as far as to start a hate train for that woman who broke their fave’s heart..
9:51 i think bruno mars had a great era when he released his 24K album. he dominated with 24K magic, versace on the floor, that’s what i like, and finesse
doja cat really is one of the best artists rn and she truly is changing the game with the amount of versatility she brings to the table. it's completely mind blowing and refreshing to see that she has the ability to make songs sound so different yet unique. there's literally no one who sounds like her! btw I went to that festival from the video you showed and I completely fell in love with her. her stage presence and energy was everything I could of hoped for 😌
@@Stanislav_Orlov you throw that out there like it’s so simple. She signed before allegations came out and is under contract. Even if she were to leave his label one day. She will likely lose the rights to her music and never be able to perform her songs ever again.
@@polaricism2988 when kiss me more came out, everyone streamed that so much it even went viral on tiktok, and don't get me started on say so or like that. I have no problem with doja being popular but fans and general public should pay more attention to non-dr luke produced music instead of letting him top music industry again
Rosalía is one of the most versatile artists and I feel that she barely gets credit. She writes, produces and is an incredible vocalist, and her performances are amazing. She puts her heart and soul into all of her projects. Her second album El mal querer is a masterpiece that everyone should listen.
One of the reasons why I am such a taylor fan is that she never lets herself get influenced by trends or sounds. And when she decides a sound/aestethic for herself and for an album she sticks to it.
Lmao that is not true. 2014 was the peak of trend pop then she went to pop, in 2017 when hip hop and Ed sheeran were trending, she featured a rapper AND Ed sheeran on a song. That is NOT true. She very much cares about charts which is fine but don't exaggerate pls
@@realdavidjones1623 you're forgetting that in 2020 when everyone was doing 80's retro pop, she came out with folklore + evermore which was totally opposite of what was popular at the time Maybe 1989 and reputation came out at "the right time" but Taylor Swift doesn't rely on trends. And in my opinion, 1989 specially still sounds really fresh for it to be considered just a "trend hopping album" since she was already becoming pop in Red, so it's not like the decision to go pop came out of nowhere, she was a country artist that took a risk that payed off.
@@deedferreira4211 ok? A one time thing and we all know she is a HUGE beyonce fan so she wanted to do the surprise friday release thing which is trending because of beyonce and when beyonce turned 30 she also started making music that weren't radio friendly but if she didn't care about that she won't use ads, bundles, remixes and smart promo to sell 😉
I hope Ariana actually starts interacting with fans in social media for her next era. I actually didn't mind her being away during positions. She was doing a lot of business ventures outside of music and was developing personal relationships while continuing to heal. I actually think a massive break from fans is what she needed. She needs to drop of the face of planet earth to make people anticipate her next album. I think her also taking a break can also build artistry and do something new. Like she's taking this time to literally build businesses, improve her acting, etc, so I hope she's improving her writing and regaining creativity.
u spilled so hard abt doja. the way she has performed say so ten million times and is still able to make it new and interesting every single time shows how diverse and fresh she is as an artist.
i can never get behind the typical "there isn't good music anymore" or "this isn't a good time for music" trust me, if y'all get away from the radio/Spotify charts/Tik Toks and actually start searching for quality music, you'll find TONS of it
Also my unpopular opinion: I don’t care for interaction with my favorite musicians. I think people take these platonic relationships waaaay too seriously and as an artist I would be totally creeped out. I don’t mind an artist focused on their craft and having a mysterious aura instead of engaging on social medias
Same all around. My favorite artist is Beyoncé and she'll give us glimpses but shes not always turning on ig live and streaming all night. She at home minding her business or out and about minding her business and I love that
I knowww. It is very weird to see that people are desperate to have a response from their idol and when that happens they thank them and have an orde of mutual congratulating them. when the artist just interacted like a normal person. Idk...
Honey, wait for the Taylor's 'all too well' 10 minutes long version as a short movie to be dropped literally now 🍁 Edit: Also Avril Lavigne seemingly going back to her two firsts releases vibe with her new music video and I'm here for that early 2000 pop-punk energy 🤟 QUEENS 👑👑
Taylor, Doja and Halsey have been my top three artists for almost the whole year. No one is doing it like them rn. Also women are fucking DOMINATING the music industry more than the men imo
I mean except Taylor nobody can even stand along side Justin bieber at this point and time so just correct yourself by saying “their are dominating usa and not the world” cause all the worldwide fanbase and especially asia belong to Justin bieber nobody gives a shit about doja in Korea or China where bieber is charting at #1 beating blackpink and other groups for the no1 spot and also nobody’s beating the weeknd in the US at this point so just 2 male artists are enough to end all your so called “dominating women” get your facts right
the kpop one is actually true, I've just discovered it and the packaging of the albums, the performances, all the content, everyday there's something new and nothing is the same
I find it so stupid that people get upser at reactors for "being too positive". I get some people are like that to the point of not expressing their real opinions so that people don't get upset, but some of y'all really get mad at people for just enjoying music, like...?
Just like with movie reactors. "Oh, they haven't seen this before and keep getting excited over something. That automatically means they're faking it!" It's just so fucking stupid.
the weeknd and dua lipa were the pioneers in bringing retro aesthetics to open up the 2020s and are the only ones who manage to do it in an original way, literally the entire music industry just got into this hype just because the aesthetics are indeed beautiful, but not because it's something original
People discredit Olivia Rodrigo so much !! Ever since the Good 4 U x Misery Business legal scandal, i’ve seen so much slander online saying that she’s not creative/talented because of the paramore & taylor swift writing credits and it literally kills me because (besides 1sf3sb) she’s put in her own originality and taste to every song on SOUR. I understand someone just not liking her music bc that’s their opinion, but the amount of 25-40 year olds online dragging a 18 year-old for her debut album is tiring to see.
I don’t really get it cause other than more guitar and drums than most pop songs I don’t think Misery Business sounds that alike and she literally asked Taylor to sample her music.
That's kinda of pathetic to pick on an 18 year old she's still a new artist and from I heard of her songs she has potential to get better and idk why people are acting like she's the only who's sample a song many other artists have done it or sometimes straight up copy off of someone else
I'm also really confused on that. I haven't seen this much stupid plagiarism allegations on an artist before. And almost all of those cases are so stupid musically
the kpop one is so true. i've always gotten bored SO easily when trying to get into western artists and it honestly never goes past casually listening to the music and buying a cd or vinyl of theirs. with kpop though i've been hyperfixated on it for almost 4 years now, and i've never been able to hyperfixate for that kong. kpop just gets me. they give the groups variety shows, livestreams, interesting lore and concepts, choreographies, unique music, the albums have so many inclusions and fun photocards you can collect and trade that really draws you in, you can talk to the idols, you just get to know who you're watching and listening to and that's what makes kpop so much more fun and appealing. not to mention the promotion is always done well, they perform on music shows and they release highlight medleys so when you pre order you know if you like the album or not. theyvtease the concepts and everything, they go all in so you know what to expect and look forward to. they play it safe in a way.
now let's be real, not even the pandemic stopped kpop idols from giving their fans the energy that needed to be given, you get new music every 4-6 months, vlives, a bunch of entertaining stuff, dance practices + the immaculate performances on the weekly shows... western artists could never
exactly?? like im not expecting everyone to go out and do something every week when they cant see their crews or whatever but DAMN. give your fans SOMETHING
@@ReactsByAsh the least they can do is tweet something or do a q&a on social media like??? y'all are not dropping any music or got promo so what else are you doing?
Some of them K-Pop artist are literally having bare minimum time to rest. Hence Mark and Haechan from NCT. The gap between their comebacks on their sub-unit is very tight. Don’t even say anything about many “active” idols out there who is constantly filming reality shows, or just a basic vlogging contents every single day just to keep us fans feed up and updated with their activities on daily basis.
@@d.f.danial9125 key word you just used “some” there’s also some that are not forced into exhaustion …. Any genre can have problems … but that isn’t the point. Surely you don’t think western artists would be exhausted from communicating with their fans at least once a month ? This person literally brought up just posting to twitter once in awhile lol nobody’s asking for anything crazy. Western artists make albums like 2-3 years later … surely some communicating with their fans in this time period isn’t asking too much 🤦♀️
I have a take: we all like music from the 2000's and early 2010's that much because we were all younger, some of us were kids, and we have good memories of not being an adult and having to worry so much about life. It's all plain nostalgia for music we associate with a simpler time when we were happy, nostalgia for a life and feel that honestly, we'll never gonna have again.
i agree with this. i remember a lot of trashy early and mid 2000s music fondly and jam to it for nostalgia's sake. the 2010s music is my peak notalgia music though because i was so obsessed with western pop and artists from ages 10-15 (aka 2010-2015)
Mine: Little Mix have entirely TOO MUCH talent for people to gloss over them and I AM T I R E D Also they’re better off as a trio…. I said what I said x
"if you don't know everything your not a true fan" 'listen some of us are adults, we got bills we got shit to do' LITERALLY!! Like I wish that I could follow every thing about the artists that I love but I simply do not have the time anymore, and that doesn't mean that I don't love them any less! It annoys me so much when people get high and mighty about stuff like that
I’m a relatively new Arianator (I’ve been one for about a year and a half now), and, while I’ve probably listened to 90% of her songs, including some of her more obscure songs, and have kept up with just about everything new she’s done since I’ve joined, I haven’t had the time to go and watch most of her past performances. After all, I already know what the songs sounds like. Will the live performances be that worth my time to watch when I’m a senior in high school?
I don't know if it's an unpopuliar opinion, but I feel like Bruno Mars is the most underrated big artist. Like everyone knows him and his music but when they talk about the greats he's rarely mentioned. Especially if you consider him being a true artist: Amazing voice live sometimes even better, plays many instruments, gufted dancer and incredible songwriter. All in all, I think he deserves a bit more credit, that he might not get so much cause his private live isn't really publicized much.
This may be unpopular, idk: I am over Ariana's trap era. It was a cute sound for Sweetener and thank u, next; but Positions is where it fell flat for me. I hope that being in Wicked inspires her to go back and do true R&B or more vocally-challenging pop because her vocal ability is what made me a fan of her
I disagree I think positions was the most R&B album she has made to date, she’s always said she wanted to venture more into the softer more r&b sound and positions was the one album I actually heard that.
I actually liked positions a lot but i agree, it was actually a pretty mediocre album especially coming from ariana. A lot of the songs were pretty lacklustre especially in writing and while it was fun to vibe to, there wasn’t that much substance to it
I guess we agree to disagree, I like the R&B route Ariana is going over the generic pop sound she was doing in past albums, I also think positions was a more mature album sonically compared to other works, but that’s just purely based on opinion.
Kpop is incredible. One group can be so diverse where they make songs in so many genres… the music is way different than I thought and there’s so many different styles… but bts award show performances are so much better than any Super Bowl halftime show I’ve ever seen… their concerts even… they’re like full shows not just the singing and rapping… there’s so much production put into their concerts… I love the shit out of them
Respect for Brandy, YES. I love you for this. I also am now listening to 90% Kpop, 10% western music because Kpop is just doing everything better (the choreo, the concepts, the fashion, the fan service, the creativity, the hard work). As a child of the 90s the girl group/boy group vibes take me back.
here are some of my opinions :) 1. Taylor and Lorde are some of the best lyricists/song writers of the past decade or more 2. just because an album is successful doesn't mean its good music and nowadays is all about making the next big record instead of making good authentic music 3. Nicki paved the way for rap music now a day especially when it comes to female rappers
Kinda unpopular opinion: Halsey is one of the best artists in the game rn. Their songwriting ability is otherworldly and they never fail to feed us with their eras and visuals. They have come so far as an artist and improved their vocal ability so much and are one of the best performers out there rn too. And I’m tired of people not giving Halsey the credit that they deserve!
“Albums don’t need to be an hour long…or over an hour long.” Taylor: 👁👄👁 Lol but I semi-agree. I feel like as a super fan of certain artists, I’d like it. But for the more casual or just mainstream artists I listen to, I don’t need 23 songs from them if they tend to have skips for me anyway. And for certain people I actually want longer, like Blackpink’s the album😭
Taylor had a 2 hour long album and I have streamed it 25 times already since it came out but honestly though keeping Taylor aside, I don't understand why would you all want a shorter album from artists who release in a traditional way (once in two years) like what taylor did before folklore ..if I have waited for 2 years, I would want more songs..also its different when it comes to rerecordings, those are mostly for the fans than the locals otherwise she won't release a whole 10 minute version of a song
Not an opinion just a fact: No matter how much you may love her or hate her… Taylor Swift has carried the music industry on her back for so many years. She can pull off country, alternative, indie, and pop. Put respect on Miss Taylor’s name. Thank you and GOODBYE
ive been saying this for a while, i literally dont even listen to her music but the effort she puts into every single project is astonishing. she is DOMINATING the music industry wether you like her or not.
for me it's the deranged distorted music that is adding too much clutter to the system. Back in the day at least the record industry people would hear a song first to see if the quality before investing into a song release. The other problem is we all stream now instead of downloading so everytime we stream our eyes see more songs . I wonder in time how the trendy music of today will age. Aside from my rant Olivia, Billie, girl in red, Silk Sonic are some standouts of 2021
Nowadays it seems like you kind of don’t *need* a record label to even put out music. And that can be a good and bad thing. On one hand they’re good for funding your projects and distributing your music, but on the other hand they’re in it for the business, not necessarily the artist, so it’s easy for a record label to just say “we don’t want this song on your album, so it’s not gonna be on the album.” And that can also be detrimental. It’s a double edged sword, really.
The last album that made me go damn that was incredible was ungodly hour by Chöle & Halle. That whole album caught me off guard I wasn’t expecting it to be good let alone incredible.
if i can’t have love, i want power by halsey is a masterpiece. the fact that she dropped it without releasing any songs prior shows how much she values their art as a whole project. it’s my favorite thing ever and i hope it gets the recognition it deserves. halsey also has constantly interacted with her fans since day 1. they follow so many of us on twitter and we’re all really close. no other artist even comes close to the connection she has with their fans.
yasss i loved that album sm, been a fan since badlands and her music has improved sooo much. i loved manic but iichliwp is way more cohesive and the tracks on the deluxe version?? im talking about the demos of lilith, 1121 and honey! they're so amazinggg
@@monsterhanna6691 I'm not bashing anyone else though? All I'm saying is that, as far as fanservice goes, not one other industry does it better than K Pop with photocards, fancalls, lightsticks, albums with entire photoshoots etc
They have no respect for privacy though. Everything they do is recorded. Eating, sleeping, walking, everything. This much broadcasting has led to their rise so quickly
Little Mix's greatest hits album with new songs is dropping on Friday. They did so much this year despite 2 out of 3 members being pregnant, including shooting 5 mvs and more mvs to come.
Yesss, and their most recent album was pop PERFECTION, you'd think that with all the people that are into groups they'd have a spike in popularity, but apparently not I'm just waiting for them to just blow up tbh
Opinion: Little Mix are minimum top5 western artists and they are just criminaly underrated (correct me if this is not up to date anymore, haven‘t set a foot in the western music thingy for over 2 years now). Vocals, Dance, Perfomance, Personalities☑️
i honestly like where music is at rn, the lack of music videos shows how artists are focusing ONLY on the music and letting the story speak for itself. i also love how many pop artists are trying out experimental folky & indie ballads. i honestly think some of the things from the early 2000s come off as very cheesy nowadays like ed sheeran is still doing music that sounds like it came from that era on his "=" album and that was horrible IMO.
I really agree with Ash on the part where she said 2000’s/2010’s music was really the best years of music and she wasn’t kidding. I really miss songs like Teenage Dream and such on the radio since music back then just made you want to dance and forget about problems. And note the catchy choruses and earworms that will forever be stuck in your head. Now it’s just bland trap hip hop with house, I don’t know how to describe it but I hope we get an era of music that will be just like the 2000/2010’s decade. Edit: I noticed repetition on my comment so I apologize for that 🥲
@@monsterhanna6691 yeah true, especially Ava since she’s really great at making such great 2010’s inspired pop songs yet no one acknowledges it, making her more underrated
@@vicxiv I hate how when artists like Ava or Olivia Rodrigo come out and actually give nostalgic 2000s vibes like people WANT, they just bash them for "copying" the big artists of the 00s
@@ReactsByAsh Ariana’s Christmas EP’s are great because they don’t constantly throw around the same handful of Christmas buzz words you hear in most popular Christmas songs. This is why I’ve didn’t like her more recent collaborations with Mariah and Kelly as much as them. The lyrics are just so typical, and the overuse of sleigh bells just makes it worse.
I know right?! That was when Nickelodeon was at its peak. In fact, Victorious, along with ICarly, True Jackson VP, and Big Time Rush, were the last shows of the Golden Era of Nickelodeon.
I dont know about taylor swift in terms of stage presence and talent, good writer but not a great singer or dancer or performer but a skilled instrumentalist, beyonce also writes and plays the piano as well but has other talents. Taylor swift has been successful for 14 years which is impressive but not relevant. Beyonce has been successful and globally hyped for over 20 years but overall I agree. In terms of female artist I would also say Adele
10:45 THANK YOU, literally Selena gets massive hate and for what??? she is an amazing human being and such a talented artist, people underestimate her for her vocal ability but she really does amazing pop music. If Revival or Rare were made by Dua Lipa, Taylor or Ari people would say they are masterpieces but because its Selena they dont even give it a chance.
At one point in time Disney and Nickelodeon knew what they were doing while making bop after bop after bop. I would get up in the morning and hear a theme song before school and they always made my childhood days better
This is why I’m glad Ari is in The Voice right now. She’s not dropping any music this year (except the deluxe for positions), she’s a newlywed, she’s not that active on twitter anymore, and she has other things to focus on like r.e.m beauty. At least with her being a coach on a singing competition, I feel like she’s already interacting with fans. Especially now that the live shows started. And we’ll be getting performances from the woman who runs pop!
And The Weeknd. Trilogy (not technically an album, but a collection of three EP’s) Beauty Behind the Madness and the deluxe version of After Hours are all over an hour long. Though, Starboy didn’t need to be 18 tracks long, so I won’t consider it.
I think they are going through a phase now and we should give them some time, at the end of the day I believe they are a great person and have a great heart.
This is the first time I’ve heard Ash talk about our 90’s Divas! I would love to see a video of divas of the 90’s 80’s that have influenced your music taste and view in female vocalists! Much love Ash!
Justin Bieber DOMINATED early 2010s summer music like holy shit istg his entire album was on everyone’s playlist Also I only think the weekend became huge during his 2015 era was because he had just come off such a huge collab with Ariana with love me harder then he did earned it for fifty shades of grey 👀 and that song was EVERYWHERE so that’s why people started listening to him so much in 2015, can’t feel my face and hills also came out those years and hills is a huge bop don’t deny.
@@sicilyperez6211 2017 he didn't release any album, same in 2018 and 2019 so people would call him to feature on their songs so it can be HUGE hits like he was the one who actually made Latin music trend and he gave ed sheeran during his 2019 album era his biggest hit
As someone who got really into kpop during COVID, I totally agree with your point. I've been having so much fun following my favourite artists and groups that I've honestly really lost touch with the Western scene lately. As you said, kpop absolutely has its issues, but overall it's been a really great experience and hobby for me. Edit: Also, random, but Ash if you haven't heard of WJSN yet, I HIGHLY recommend their song Unnatural. It's my favourite kpop song I've heard all year, absolute banger.
@@ilovececefrey I don't really know about the BTS and Blackpink side of Twitter, because they're not the groups I follow, but I've found that if you surround yourself with positive, rational people and try to ignore the negativity then kpop can be a really nice experience. Twitter definitely has the most toxicity from what I've seen though. For me, TH-cam and Patreon have been the nicest (and healthiest) places to talk about kpop.
@@steph66062 I got into blackpink for a day when they released kill this love then I opened Twitter and said no thank you! They all seem like kids too I’m 20 so it’s awkward🤣
BTS really gave alot of content not just music for their fans especially during 2020. They had a live streaming of all there previous concerts for free on youtube for one weekend. They had reality show called bts in the soop also bts run a show of them playing games which has been on going for a while. They made a English song during that time. They had a two Online concert and they made their first self directed album called BE . They all did a bunch of vlive the whole year. They kept active on social media and different performances award shows etc. I'm sure I missed more stuff.
and we know just HOW much they missed being in front of army with how much they talked to us and reassured us they are feeling the same way we are. and they were able to make all that content WHILE being safe and respectful of covid guidelines. even if i wasn't an army - i could recognize that they are a shining example of what artist can do even in the middle of a pandemic
@@ReactsByAsh yes ! I won't be able to go but I'm so happy that they are able to have a in person concert . They miss army so much. I also agreed with all you said in this video definitely agreed with you on these opinions. Justin he has his problems but the guy has some great music.
YES! I’m so glad someone brought up Brandy and all she did for the ENTERTAINMENT industry! Not just music! She has been one of my favorites since I was a kid! Thank you so much for mentioning her! ❤️ love you queen!
“IM TIRED!!” Lmao same. The remixes, features and people putting 3+ people on a single song every other month is ridiculous. People just throwing out poor quality music out there for the sake of dropping music. Music this year has been all of the place. The only person who has come close to bringing something different and refreshing, with versatility and longevity has been Doja Cat overall. Meaning songs, performances, album, music videos, her personality, etc. Agreed that she has that IT factor. Unpopular opinion: Adele is so overhyped. Her song Easy on Me was good but people treated it like it was the greatest song released in years. Her older music was better and I don’t understand but she’s Adele
Well people are mainly focused on the hype than the actual song. This is her first hit song that she wrote by herself which is why it sounds like she is forcing the lyrics into the song and it sounds cringe in the bridge and her voice was all over the place. I still like her though. I feel like after this era which will definitely be successful, she faces the chance of flopping
The western industry has been lacking in solid music performers for YEARS. In my opinion one of the key factors in why K-Pop got so big here. They’re doing something fresh.
YES ABOUT GROWING UP AND NOT HAVING THE TIME ANYMORE like i'm only in college but I definitely do not have the time to sit around and wait for every drop, interview, tweet, IG post... we have things to do guys and maybe some of you also need more hobbies (said with love
i've been LOVING this trend of making movies to go along with an album. Folklore, Happier Than Ever and If I Can't Have Love, I Want Power all felt like an experience and I want more of that! Just imagine if Miley did sumn like that for 'Plastic Hearts', I would DIE.
My hot take on music: Indie music is better than mainstream music. There is such an authenticity with indie artist that I feel like bigger artists lack. I think it’s because indie artist has more of a connection with their fans. Also, they put in so much work to their music. They write, they conceptualize, they produce their own stuff. Some deserve more credit for their work.
Can I just say that I just love you as a person for so many reasons. You are endlessly supportive, humble and kind. You have a way of seeing things that honestly I think many people don't usually see before you mention it and I think it's a big part of why we all like to keep coming here, for your perspective. You remind me of Taylor in that aspect, you're just yourself and it doesn't feel like we are a Fandom (eww, God no) but we are all friends who like the same things and kinda (I SAID KINDA!) think the same way. I can't wait til one day that I hear you comment on my music when I step up to do it but til then, all the love Ash.
”If you dont know everything youre not a true fan” I hate this so much because I often love someones music but it doesnt mean I have to know everything about their personal life

put it on my gravestone
I discovered a few weeks ago that the song "Cinderella" was actually from a girl group named Play. My childhood was an entire lie lol

But the cheetah girls didn’t write Cinderella lol
I don't know why everyone forgets about Bruno Mars when talking about successful male artists. The success of the 24K Magic era was literally insane, he even won album of the year at the grammys. He has never had an unsuccessful release.

And she interacts with fans.

Yeah but but most western artist dont want to work every single day filming music videos every month and releasing music they are not wanting.
@@moumuooo.o2283 Most K-Pop groups only relase twice (no pun intended not talking about the group TWICE) a year rookie groups (groups under 2 or 3 years old) might sometimes realese three times a year just due to the fact that they are trying to establish themselves in a SUPER competive industry, other than that their doing normal things an artist does & thats practicing or working on their new project or other jobs that they are obligated to do like model or hosting a show or acting on a K-Drama
I get some people are workaholics, but having to work that often should not be standard.

reputation is becoming my whole personality
Is this really unpopular though?
@@kwilesvolleyball2028 mood
I disagree, in 2020 so many superstars with the exception of like justin bieber and ariana grande released albums. Adele, ed sheeran, beyonce, Drake, postponed their albums and era's. Folklore although is a lyrically good album, the female artist relevancy thing has been affecting her albums, for years now taylor has been releasing her albums with merchandise and tour bundles, with promotion and remixes or delas with discount retailers to get her sales hence she has never had highest selling album globally
-TikTok is ruining the music scene. Maybe this isn’t unpopular but it has to be said. These songs rely on a catchy line and hope people will use them and get viral. Boring.
-Kpop artists work too damn hard and deserve better treatment from their managers and labels.
-Normani needs to change her label. dropping one single and disappearing after it is doing a lot of damage to her longevity.
-Little Mix is one of the most underrated girl groups in history despite them being the most consistent in their performances and vocal abilities.
-Same people who cringed at one direction are now Harry styles sluts.
-Taylor is the best songwriter of our generation and NOTHING can change my mind. This woman has had a lot of success but is artistically underrated with her vision and creation ability.
Thanks for coming to my TedTalk
i agree with literally all of these, especially the one about tiktok, harry styles, and taylor swift.
- while i don't mind tiktok as a platform for skits and comedy and stuff like that, artists shouldn't have to be depending on it for their songs to chart or get successful.
- yeah, i watched the blackpink documentary recently and it really made my heart break realizing that a lot of kpop artists like them are probably going through the same things.
- yes. just yes. she has so much potential, but she isn't using it!!!
- definitely. the lyrics of their songs aren't excellent, but they're still good, and their vocals are just out of this world.
- exactly!! but that might have been because his singing and lyricism has really matured since one direction. still doens't change ths facts though, the people who hated on one direction are now stanning harry styles.
- i stand with this one the most. people keep saying that she uses merch and stuff to promote herself, but there's a reason she got famous that stands out the most, and that is her songwriting ability!! the all too well 10 minute version just proves it, people aren't saying they cried listening to it for nothing. and folklore and evermore mainly focused on her lyricism, and i'm so happy about that, because it just proved to the haters that she didn't get famous for nothing.
glad to see someone that shares so many of my opinions!!
Urgh I agree so much with you, especially the Little Mix and Normani ones ffs
Taylor swift the best songwriter?🤔 have you listened to cupcakke?🤔🤔🤔🤔🤔🤔🤔🤔🤔🤔
Kpop idols don’t have labels because they are not singers, they have companies (and that’s way worse)
Yesssss! Little Mix is criminally underrated, and Taylor deserves soooooo much more respect for her songwriting skills!
Yes, Doja Cat is one of those once in a lifetime stars. The reason we like her so much is because she gives us the early 2000s/2010s girlys vibe that we have been missing. She gives her all and we all appreciate that. The same goes for the K-pop industry they give their all and us fans support them for that.
"there is a difference between a singer and an artist" I have been saying this about Selena for YEARS. the reason she is as big as she is is because she makes good MUSIC, and you don't need to belt every lyric to be a good musician. The disrespect on her name is OFFENSIVE.
Yes! I hate it when people shade artists just because they can’t hit certain notes or because they use auto tune. It’s so annoying! 😡
i just dont get why she is famous like she was a good actor but she doesnt have vocal ability and cant write songs her songs are generic so like what is she famous for? not just her tho theres so many like her theyre just made up to be famous and a money machine
@@swish1611 again as people have said you don't need to belt every lyric to make good music
Lyrics are the main thing you should worry about when being a artist. I'm sorry but people tune out on Selena because good production isn't gonna make you famous anymore.
@@shisexee That’s ridiculous. People listen to artists like Dua Lipa, Ariana Grande, etc for the catchy production and Melodies. Don’t give me this bs that artists are only about lyrics LOL! Production matters too! You all just like to drag Selena for no reason.
Ash thinking of this idea:
Also ash while thinking of it: "I want to be like messy"
Unpopular opinion: mainstream only accepts r&b from pop artists and not actually r&b artists
YES
Lets try with this one: "evermore" is more a realistic album with adult situations and where such deep aspects of life are touched, and that's the reason why it didn't get the hype and praise "folklore" got, by the fans or the media. "folklore" seems like a daydream album, almost unrealistic (except for epiphany).
to be honest, taylor didn't really give time and publicized evermore and it deserved, imo it's just a good as folklore but she jumped right into fearless era
Evermore is the better album too. it didn't get the attention it deserves
How is folklore unrealistic? People relate with a lot of its lyrics and stories.
@@iamshraddhakhedkar I agree, I relate to folklore more than evermore, still love them both tho

That's because it's a remake
you spilled
i think why we got so much music this year / why its kinda becoming over saturated is because litterally everyone has released an album this year ( if not last year )because we are finally seeing what quarntine inspired for all them. like every major artist that has been slient for years ( cough adele, cough lorde ) dropped something. so it's nice to get music from everyone but i think having litterally every major artist drop this year was almost too much for everyone
What's wrong with a variety? Also, not EVERYONE is a fan of those artists or likes that kind of music. I listened to about 30+ albums last year--and not just from last year--and it was a great distraction.
@@monsterhanna6691 i'm not saying it's wrong or bad by any means haha. some of my favorite albums of all time have been released this year ( happier than ever, sour, IICHLIWP, solar power, planet her, ect ) but i'm just saying that the music scene feels so saturated right now because EVERYONE has dropped something. which again, isn't a bad thing. it's just now it feels like a new album is dropping every month so we don't even have time to digest past albums because it's just release after release after release after release. yk?
adele has not dropped her album yet and i would say no major mainstream artist has actually done anything, it’s been very dry
Ehh 2020 was even better in music releases.
Literally the only hibernating artists that didn’t release music during the pandemic are Rihanna and Beyoncé
not an unpopular one but one that definitely needs to be discussed is that female artists get shamed and hated for writing and singing about their oast relationships, and everyone always tries to link their music to their exes but when make artists do that, people never question it, and even go as far as to start a hate train for that woman who broke their fave’s heart..
9:51 i think bruno mars had a great era when he released his 24K album. he dominated with 24K magic, versace on the floor, that’s what i like, and finesse
doja cat really is one of the best artists rn and she truly is changing the game with the amount of versatility she brings to the table. it's completely mind blowing and refreshing to see that she has the ability to make songs sound so different yet unique. there's literally no one who sounds like her!
btw I went to that festival from the video you showed and I completely fell in love with her. her stage presence and energy was everything I could of hoped for 😌

@@Stanislav_Orlov She's locked in a contract with him and signed it before everything happened. There is literally nothing she can do.
@@Stanislav_Orlov you throw that out there like it’s so simple. She signed before allegations came out and is under contract. Even if she were to leave his label one day. She will likely lose the rights to her music and never be able to perform her songs ever again.

@@polaricism2988 when kiss me more came out, everyone streamed that so much it even went viral on tiktok, and don't get me started on say so or like that.

Rosalía is one of the most versatile artists and I feel that she barely gets credit. She writes, produces and is an incredible vocalist, and her performances are amazing.

@@lenasanz5544 it is a masterpiece and It still blows my mind how she made experimental flamenco mainstream
One of the reasons why I am such a taylor fan is that she never lets herself get influenced by trends or sounds. And when she decides a sound/aestethic for herself and for an album she sticks to it.
Lmao that is not true. 2014 was the peak of trend pop then she went to pop, in 2017 when hip hop and Ed sheeran were trending, she featured a rapper AND Ed sheeran on a song. That is NOT true. She very much cares about charts which is fine but don't exaggerate pls
@@realdavidjones1623 you're forgetting that in 2020 when everyone was doing 80's retro pop, she came out with folklore + evermore which was totally opposite of what was popular at the time
Maybe 1989 and reputation came out at "the right time" but Taylor Swift doesn't rely on trends. And in my opinion, 1989 specially still sounds really fresh for it to be considered just a "trend hopping album" since she was already becoming pop in Red, so it's not like the decision to go pop came out of nowhere, she was a country artist that took a risk that payed off.
@@deedferreira4211 ok? A one time thing and we all know she is a HUGE beyonce fan so she wanted to do the surprise friday release thing which is trending because of beyonce and when beyonce turned 30 she also started making music that weren't radio friendly but if she didn't care about that she won't use ads, bundles, remixes and smart promo to sell 😉
@@deedferreira4211 taylor's music since fearless was already pop with country influences, listen to "daddy's lessons" that's very country
@@realdavidjones1623 why are you replying to every single comment which mentions taylor just to drag her?
I hope Ariana actually starts interacting with fans in social media for her next era. I actually didn't mind her being away during positions. She was doing a lot of business ventures outside of music and was developing personal relationships while continuing to heal. I actually think a massive break from fans is what she needed. She needs to drop of the face of planet earth to make people anticipate her next album. I think her also taking a break can also build artistry and do something new. Like she's taking this time to literally build businesses, improve her acting, etc, so I hope she's improving her writing and regaining creativity.
i just know ag7 is gonna be THAT GIRL
u spilled so hard abt doja. the way she has performed say so ten million times and is still able to make it new and interesting every single time shows how diverse and fresh she is as an artist.
i can never get behind the typical "there isn't good music anymore" or "this isn't a good time for music"
trust me, if y'all get away from the radio/Spotify charts/Tik Toks and actually start searching for quality music, you'll find TONS of it
And even in the charts now, it’s not bad music, it’s just music these people aren’t used to and they find new things scary
Fr
Truer words have never been said!
support small artists! you will find gems
Absolutely
Also my unpopular opinion: I don’t care for interaction with my favorite musicians. I think people take these platonic relationships waaaay too seriously and as an artist I would be totally creeped out. I don’t mind an artist focused on their craft and having a mysterious aura instead of engaging on social medias
agreed
sameee agree 100%
I kinda agree to this on some extent !!!
Same all around. My favorite artist is Beyoncé and she'll give us glimpses but shes not always turning on ig live and streaming all night. She at home minding her business or out and about minding her business and I love that
I knowww. It is very weird to see that people are desperate to have a response from their idol and when that happens they thank them and have an orde of mutual congratulating them. when the artist just interacted like a normal person. Idk...
Taylor brought back the nostalgia of 2010’s when she released Fearless and RED TV, and there’s more to wait for!

People discredit Olivia Rodrigo so much !! Ever since the Good 4 U x Misery Business legal scandal, i’ve seen so much slander online saying that she’s not creative/talented because of the paramore & taylor swift writing credits and it literally kills me because (besides 1sf3sb) she’s put in her own originality and taste to every song on SOUR. I understand someone just not liking her music bc that’s their opinion, but the amount of 25-40 year olds online dragging a 18 year-old for her debut album is tiring to see.
I don’t really get it cause other than more guitar and drums than most pop songs I don’t think Misery Business sounds that alike and she literally asked Taylor to sample her music.
it's funny bc most of the 40 year old men saying she's talentless have never picked up a guitar in their lives lol
That's kinda of pathetic to pick on an 18 year old she's still a new artist and from I heard of her songs she has potential to get better and idk why people are acting like she's the only who's sample a song many other artists have done it or sometimes straight up copy off of someone else
Don't 25-40 yo people don't have a job? I'm pretty sure most of them don't care
I'm also really confused on that. I haven't seen this much stupid plagiarism allegations on an artist before. And almost all of those cases are so stupid musically

no she did that to hurt me, i just know it.
I was thinking that as soon as ash said it.
@@ReactsByAsh good luck bestie
Btw, how are you doing after RED TV Ash? Hahaha
the kpop one is so true. i've always gotten bored SO easily when trying to get into western artists and it honestly never goes past casually listening to the music and buying a cd or vinyl of theirs. with kpop though i've been hyperfixated on it for almost 4 years now, and i've never been able to hyperfixate for that kong. kpop just gets me. they give the groups variety shows, livestreams, interesting lore and concepts, choreographies, unique music, the albums have so many inclusions and fun photocards you can collect and trade that really draws you in, you can talk to the idols, you just get to know who you're watching and listening to and that's what makes kpop so much more fun and appealing.
not to mention the promotion is always done well, they perform on music shows and they release highlight medleys so when you pre order you know if you like the album or not. theyvtease the concepts and everything, they go all in so you know what to expect and look forward to. they play it safe in a way.
now let's be real, not even the pandemic stopped kpop idols from giving their fans the energy that needed to be given, you get new music every 4-6 months, vlives, a bunch of entertaining stuff, dance practices + the immaculate performances on the weekly shows... western artists could never
exactly?? like im not expecting everyone to go out and do something every week when they cant see their crews or whatever but DAMN. give your fans SOMETHING
@@ReactsByAsh the least they can do is tweet something or do a q&a on social media like??? y'all are not dropping any music or got promo so what else are you doing?
Some of them K-Pop artist are literally having bare minimum time to rest. Hence Mark and Haechan from NCT. The gap between their comebacks on their sub-unit is very tight. Don’t even say anything about many “active” idols out there who is constantly filming reality shows, or just a basic vlogging contents every single day just to keep us fans feed up and updated with their activities on daily basis.
@@d.f.danial9125 key word you just used “some” there’s also some that are not forced into exhaustion …. Any genre can have problems … but that isn’t the point.

@@blarmy827 some western artists communicate with the fans tho during pandemic.
I have a take: we all like music from the 2000's and early 2010's that much because we were all younger, some of us were kids, and we have good memories of not being an adult and having to worry so much about life. It's all plain nostalgia for music we associate with a simpler time when we were happy, nostalgia for a life and feel that honestly, we'll never gonna have again.
Me too and i know that in ten years we all gonna say that we missed the early 2020 songs
I wish I can unread this but it is 100% true and it hurts that we can’t go back to those times and the only thing we got its in fact is music.
i agree with this. i remember a lot of trashy early and mid 2000s music fondly and jam to it for nostalgia's sake. the 2010s music is my peak notalgia music though because i was so obsessed with western pop and artists from ages 10-15 (aka 2010-2015)
Less of a take and more of a widely known fact
But at least we can revisit it and we still have old-school songs from artists today; i.e., Ava Max.
AND TAYLOR SWIFT IS THE MUSIC INDUSTRYYY!!!
Mine: Little Mix have entirely TOO MUCH talent for people to gloss over them and I AM T I R E D
Also they’re better off as a trio…. I said what I said x
I think Ed Sheeran’s divide era is up there with Justin bieber’s purpose era
same with Taylor swift's 1989 era tbh
@@emmayergensen6501 yeah but she was talking about male artists in that segment
"if you don't know everything your not a true fan"
'listen some of us are adults, we got bills we got shit to do'
LITERALLY!! Like I wish that I could follow every thing about the artists that I love but I simply do not have the time anymore, and that doesn't mean that I don't love them any less! It annoys me so much when people get high and mighty about stuff like that
Thank you like I don't have time to know everything about artist which shouldn't
I’m a relatively new Arianator (I’ve been one for about a year and a half now), and, while I’ve probably listened to 90% of her songs, including some of her more obscure songs, and have kept up with just about everything new she’s done since I’ve joined, I haven’t had the time to go and watch most of her past performances. After all, I already know what the songs sounds like. Will the live performances be that worth my time to watch when I’m a senior in high school?
I don't know if it's an unpopuliar opinion, but I feel like Bruno Mars is the most underrated big artist. Like everyone knows him and his music but when they talk about the greats he's rarely mentioned. Especially if you consider him being a true artist: Amazing voice live sometimes even better, plays many instruments, gufted dancer and incredible songwriter. All in all, I think he deserves a bit more credit, that he might not get so much cause his private live isn't really publicized much.
This may be unpopular, idk: I am over Ariana's trap era. It was a cute sound for Sweetener and thank u, next; but Positions is where it fell flat for me. I hope that being in Wicked inspires her to go back and do true R&B or more vocally-challenging pop because her vocal ability is what made me a fan of her
I disagree I think positions was the most R&B album she has made to date, she’s always said she wanted to venture more into the softer more r&b sound and positions was the one album I actually heard that.
I actually liked positions a lot but i agree, it was actually a pretty mediocre album especially coming from ariana. A lot of the songs were pretty lacklustre especially in writing and while it was fun to vibe to, there wasn’t that much substance to it
I guess we agree to disagree, I like the R&B route Ariana is going over the generic pop sound she was doing in past albums, I also think positions was a more mature album sonically compared to other works, but that’s just purely based on opinion.
Agree. Even though Positions is kinda good.
Sweetener ... and trap???
"There is a difference between a singer and an artist." So true
This is true
00:14 and i OOP
idk what people think I mean when I say “hmm, it’s fine but it’s not my favorite” WE’RE GONNA STAY RESPECTFUL
like would you rather me say this is garbage, don't listen to it, and spit on your face ??? LIKE WHAT DO YOU WANT FROM ME ???
Kpop is incredible. One group can be so diverse where they make songs in so many genres… the music is way different than I thought and there’s so many different styles… but bts award show performances are so much better than any Super Bowl halftime show I’ve ever seen… their concerts even… they’re like full shows not just the singing and rapping… there’s so much production put into their concerts… I love the shit out of them
Respect for Brandy, YES. I love you for this.
I also am now listening to 90% Kpop, 10% western music because Kpop is just doing everything better (the choreo, the concepts, the fashion, the fan service, the creativity, the hard work). As a child of the 90s the girl group/boy group vibes take me back.
here are some of my opinions :)
1. Taylor and Lorde are some of the best lyricists/song writers of the past decade or more
2. just because an album is successful doesn't mean its good music and nowadays is all about making the next big record instead of making good authentic music
3. Nicki paved the way for rap music now a day especially when it comes to female rappers
I agree except for three, yes she’s influential however most of the inspiration and influences SHE got was from Lil Kim and missy elliot
agreed with all, especially #2. Lorde kinda fell off tho.
Lorde? The girl has 3 albums and one of them is just bad...
Please don’t forget Lana Del Rey 😭
Add Lana and we’ll be good
Kinda unpopular opinion: Halsey is one of the best artists in the game rn. Their songwriting ability is otherworldly and they never fail to feed us with their eras and visuals. They have come so far as an artist and improved their vocal ability so much and are one of the best performers out there rn too. And I’m tired of people not giving Halsey the credit that they deserve!
For real!
i completely agree
YESS
SHOUT
Yes yes YES
“Albums don’t need to be an hour long…or over an hour long.”
Taylor: 👁👄👁
Lol but I semi-agree. I feel like as a super fan of certain artists, I’d like it. But for the more casual or just mainstream artists I listen to, I don’t need 23 songs from them if they tend to have skips for me anyway. And for certain people I actually want longer, like Blackpink’s the album😭
But if it's Taylor, I will spend a whole day listening to her album🤧 Btw, stream #redtaylorsversion
PLSSSSS I JUST LISTENED TO RED TV
the fact that red tv is longer than some movies i-
Taylor had a 2 hour long album and I have streamed it 25 times already since it came out but honestly though keeping Taylor aside, I don't understand why would you all want a shorter album from artists who release in a traditional way (once in two years) like what taylor did before folklore ..if I have waited for 2 years, I would want more songs..also its different when it comes to rerecordings, those are mostly for the fans than the locals otherwise she won't release a whole 10 minute version of a song
Abel’s three most popular albums were all over an hour.
Ashley we need a whole “Selena doesn’t deserve the hate she gets” video STAT
Not an opinion just a fact: No matter how much you may love her or hate her… Taylor Swift has carried the music industry on her back for so many years. She can pull off country, alternative, indie, and pop. Put respect on Miss Taylor’s name.
Thank you and GOODBYE
True.
yes.
I don't even like her and I will say you're right.
ive been saying this for a while, i literally dont even listen to her music but the effort she puts into every single project is astonishing. she is DOMINATING the music industry wether you like her or not.
nothing but facts
for me it's the deranged distorted music that is adding too much clutter to the system. Back in the day at least the record industry people would hear a song first to see if the quality before investing into a song release. The other problem is we all stream now instead of downloading so everytime we stream our eyes see more songs . I wonder in time how the trendy music of today will age. Aside from my rant Olivia, Billie, girl in red, Silk Sonic are some standouts of 2021
Nowadays it seems like you kind of don’t *need* a record label to even put out music. And that can be a good and bad thing. On one hand they’re good for funding your projects and distributing your music, but on the other hand they’re in it for the business, not necessarily the artist, so it’s easy for a record label to just say “we don’t want this song on your album, so it’s not gonna be on the album.” And that can also be detrimental. It’s a double edged sword, really.
what falls under the label of “deranged and distorted” ?
@@jarynm2011 when the bass is so compressed the sound clips the audio volume threshold , usually a tiktok edit trend
I completely agree with you about K-pop. The idols really know how to connect with their fans and that's why K-pop industry is crazy huge!
another unpopular opinion: just because you like lesser known artists and bands does not make you or your music taste unique 😻
thats pretty popular tho most people like underrated srtists to feel validated and egotistic
The last album that made me go damn that was incredible was ungodly hour by Chöle & Halle. That whole album caught me off guard I wasn’t expecting it to be good let alone incredible.
Yessss
So true 👍
YESS I AGREE
Kid Krow too
Selena voice is not the strongest, but it's so unique and her tone is beautiful, sometimes it moves me more than those big vocally songs
if i can’t have love, i want power by halsey is a masterpiece. the fact that she dropped it without releasing any songs prior shows how much she values their art as a whole project. it’s my favorite thing ever and i hope it gets the recognition it deserves. halsey also has constantly interacted with her fans since day 1. they follow so many of us on twitter and we’re all really close. no other artist even comes close to the connection she has with their fans.
yasss i loved that album sm, been a fan since badlands and her music has improved sooo much. i loved manic but iichliwp is way more cohesive and the tracks on the deluxe version?? im talking about the demos of lilith, 1121 and honey! they're so amazinggg
The way I could write an essay about how K Pop does so much more for fans than western music ever has
ALL these artists are amazing and it's not their fault that you don't appreciate their work.
@@monsterhanna6691 I'm not bashing anyone else though? All I'm saying is that, as far as fanservice goes, not one other industry does it better than K Pop with photocards, fancalls, lightsticks, albums with entire photoshoots etc
fr tho the contents that they give to the fans like vlives, shows and comeback stages
They have no respect for privacy though. Everything they do is recorded. Eating, sleeping, walking, everything. This much broadcasting has led to their rise so quickly
@@payalshishodia oh yeah there’s definitely issues that come with certain parts of that industry

Little Mix's greatest hits album with new songs is dropping on Friday. They did so much this year despite 2 out of 3 members being pregnant, including shooting 5 mvs and more mvs to come.
GIVE LITTLE MIX THE FLOWERS AND RESPECT THEY DESERVE!!!!
Yesss, and their most recent album was pop PERFECTION, you'd think that with all the people that are into groups they'd have a spike in popularity, but apparently not
I'm just waiting for them to just blow up tbh
PERIOD.
EXACTLY.
Opinion: Little Mix are minimum top5 western artists and they are just criminaly underrated (correct me if this is not up to date anymore, haven‘t set a foot in the western music thingy for over 2 years now). Vocals, Dance, Perfomance, Personalities☑️
period
Preach
so true, they are all-rounders ! and their vocals are INSANE
they’re great performers but their music is mostly generic, great singles but very average albums
absolutely so true spilled 😜 stream between us friday 😈
ash (10:51): albums dont need to be an hour long.
taylor: hold my red (taylors version) album and its 2 HOURS AND 10 MIN
i honestly like where music is at rn, the lack of music videos shows how artists are focusing ONLY on the music and letting the story speak for itself. i also love how many pop artists are trying out experimental folky & indie ballads. i honestly think some of the things from the early 2000s come off as very cheesy nowadays like ed sheeran is still doing music that sounds like it came from that era on his "=" album and that was horrible IMO.
I really agree with Ash on the part where she said 2000’s/2010’s music was really the best years of music and she wasn’t kidding. I really miss songs like Teenage Dream and such on the radio since music back then just made you want to dance and forget about problems. And note the catchy choruses and earworms that will forever be stuck in your head. Now it’s just bland trap hip hop with house, I don’t know how to describe it but I hope we get an era of music that will be just like the 2000/2010’s decade.
Edit: I noticed repetition on my comment so I apologize for that 🥲
Nothing "bland" about it. Also, "I miss this kind of music." Lady Gaga, Ava Max, Katy Perry etc.- "Are we a joke to you?" 😂
I can agree with you on Melanie Martinez
@@monsterhanna6691 yeah true, especially Ava since she’s really great at making such great 2010’s inspired pop songs yet no one acknowledges it, making her more underrated

As a huge swiftie ,YESsSsS!!!!! Scream it out loud for the people in the back
agreed!!!
Evermoorrreeee Stannn here too 😍
Taylor Swift is the music industry, we can never deny that. Her influence, workmanship, and artistry reach and affect a lot of aspects.
christmas and chill is so good !! its an ep by ariana and its so comforting, like not all xmas music is cringeyy
literally the ONLY xmas music i like
@@ReactsByAsh and that's what we call taste !!
@@ReactsByAsh Ariana’s Christmas EP’s are great because they don’t constantly throw around the same handful of Christmas buzz words you hear in most popular Christmas songs. This is why I’ve didn’t like her more recent collaborations with Mariah and Kelly as much as them. The lyrics are just so typical, and the overuse of sleigh bells just makes it worse.
Victorious's songs are just too good and iconic.
I know right?! That was when Nickelodeon was at its peak. In fact, Victorious, along with ICarly, True Jackson VP, and Big Time Rush, were the last shows of the Golden Era of Nickelodeon.
Okay “Turn Off the Light” as the best Halloween album ever thouuuugh
Taylor Swift and Beyoncé are the artists of our generation, no one else has that much influence, staying power, stage presence AND talent.
perioddd
Rihanna said hello
Kendrick Lamar 🙄
@@cindydias6170 what influence does Rihanna have pls
I dont know about taylor swift in terms of stage presence and talent, good writer but not a great singer or dancer or performer but a skilled instrumentalist, beyonce also writes and plays the piano as well but has other talents. Taylor swift has been successful for 14 years which is impressive but not relevant. Beyonce has been successful and globally hyped for over 20 years but overall I agree. In terms of female artist I would also say Adele
10:45 THANK YOU, literally Selena gets massive hate and for what??? she is an amazing human being and such a talented artist, people underestimate her for her vocal ability but she really does amazing pop music. If Revival or Rare were made by Dua Lipa, Taylor or Ari people would say they are masterpieces but because its Selena they dont even give it a chance.
I listened to Revival in full for the first time in years the other day and omg what a bop
taylor would never make an album like that in the first place pls
At one point in time Disney and Nickelodeon knew what they were doing while making bop after bop after bop. I would get up in the morning and hear a theme song before school and they always made my childhood days better
10:50 red tv entered
😂😂😂 2 hours. We don't mind tho 😈
This is why I’m glad Ari is in The Voice right now. She’s not dropping any music this year (except the deluxe for positions), she’s a newlywed, she’s not that active on twitter anymore, and she has other things to focus on like r.e.m beauty. At least with her being a coach on a singing competition, I feel like she’s already interacting with fans. Especially now that the live shows started. And we’ll be getting performances from the woman who runs pop!
the only artist that can get away with dropping an album longer than one hour is Ms Swift
And The Weeknd.
Trilogy (not technically an album, but a collection of three EP’s) Beauty Behind the Madness and the deluxe version of After Hours are all over an hour long. Though, Starboy didn’t need to be 18 tracks long, so I won’t consider it.
Another Opinion: Demi is annoying but their music is ooh GORGEOUS
no because lets talk about it. their range and new album is genuinely amazing
omg yes i used to love them and for a long time even ignored how problematic they are just because of their music lmao
AGREED
@@KyleBear1 dude respect their pronouns
I think they are going through a phase now and we should give them some time, at the end of the day I believe they are a great person and have a great heart.
This is the first time I’ve heard Ash talk about our 90’s Divas! I would love to see a video of divas of the 90’s 80’s that have influenced your music taste and view in female vocalists! Much love Ash!
Justin Bieber DOMINATED early 2010s summer music like holy shit istg his entire album was on everyone’s playlist
Also I only think the weekend became huge during his 2015 era was because he had just come off such a huge collab with Ariana with love me harder then he did earned it for fifty shades of grey 👀 and that song was EVERYWHERE so that’s why people started listening to him so much in 2015, can’t feel my face and hills also came out those years and hills is a huge bop don’t deny.
He dominated the whole of the 2010s. He is the real artist of the decade. Drake dominated mainly usa and Canada forst half
@@realdavidjones1623 mmm I’d say he fell off a bit during 2017-2019
@@sicilyperez6211 2017 he didn't release any album, same in 2018 and 2019 so people would call him to feature on their songs so it can be HUGE hits like he was the one who actually made Latin music trend and he gave ed sheeran during his 2019 album era his biggest hit
As someone who got really into kpop during COVID, I totally agree with your point. I've been having so much fun following my favourite artists and groups that I've honestly really lost touch with the Western scene lately. As you said, kpop absolutely has its issues, but overall it's been a really great experience and hobby for me.
Edit: Also, random, but Ash if you haven't heard of WJSN yet, I HIGHLY recommend their song Unnatural. It's my favourite kpop song I've heard all year, absolute banger.
Honestly same
Same and hard same with 'Unnatural'
The Kpop community is so toxic tho? All I see on twitter is black pink Stans fighting BTS Stans 24/7. Why can't 2 artists be killing it?
@@ilovececefrey I don't really know about the BTS and Blackpink side of Twitter, because they're not the groups I follow, but I've found that if you surround yourself with positive, rational people and try to ignore the negativity then kpop can be a really nice experience. Twitter definitely has the most toxicity from what I've seen though. For me, TH-cam and Patreon have been the nicest (and healthiest) places to talk about kpop.
@@steph66062 I got into blackpink for a day when they released kill this love then I opened Twitter and said no thank you! They all seem like kids too I’m 20 so it’s awkward🤣
BTS really gave alot of content not just music for their fans especially during 2020. They had a live streaming of all there previous concerts for free on youtube for one weekend. They had reality show called bts in the soop also bts run a show of them playing games which has been on going for a while. They made a English song during that time. They had a two Online concert and they made their first self directed album called BE . They all did a bunch of vlive the whole year. They kept active on social media and different performances award shows etc. I'm sure I missed more stuff.
and we know just HOW much they missed being in front of army with how much they talked to us and reassured us they are feeling the same way we are. and they were able to make all that content WHILE being safe and respectful of covid guidelines. even if i wasn't an army - i could recognize that they are a shining example of what artist can do even in the middle of a pandemic
@@ReactsByAsh yes ! I won't be able to go but I'm so happy that they are able to have a in person concert . They miss army so much.
I also agreed with all you said in this video definitely agreed with you on these opinions. Justin he has his problems but the guy has some great music.
YES! I’m so glad someone brought up Brandy and all she did for the ENTERTAINMENT industry! Not just music! She has been one of my favorites since I was a kid! Thank you so much for mentioning her! ❤️ love you queen!
“IM TIRED!!” Lmao same. The remixes, features and people putting 3+ people on a single song every other month is ridiculous. People just throwing out poor quality music out there for the sake of dropping music.
Music this year has been all of the place. The only person who has come close to bringing something different and refreshing, with versatility and longevity has been Doja Cat overall. Meaning songs, performances, album, music videos, her personality, etc. Agreed that she has that IT factor.
Unpopular opinion: Adele is so overhyped. Her song Easy on Me was good but people treated it like it was the greatest song released in years. Her older music was better and I don’t understand but she’s Adele
Well people are mainly focused on the hype than the actual song. This is her first hit song that she wrote by herself which is why it sounds like she is forcing the lyrics into the song and it sounds cringe in the bridge and her voice was all over the place. I still like her though. I feel like after this era which will definitely be successful, she faces the chance of flopping
The western industry has been lacking in solid music performers for YEARS. In my opinion one of the key factors in why K-Pop got so big here. They’re doing something fresh.
they are good but they are doing nothing out of the box, infact they all are performers not artists except a few.
@@Taylorc0de Agreed. Kpop industry lacks artistry and individuality.
female artists are in general underrated and contantly pit against each other but they make so much better music
I'd say that's true in general, but when it comes to pop, female artists are definitely more popular than male artists.
YES ABOUT GROWING UP AND NOT HAVING THE TIME ANYMORE like i'm only in college but I definitely do not have the time to sit around and wait for every drop, interview, tweet, IG post... we have things to do guys and maybe some of you also need more hobbies (said with love
i think kygo had an huge impact on the tropical era✌🏻
i've been LOVING this trend of making movies to go along with an album. Folklore, Happier Than Ever and If I Can't Have Love, I Want Power all felt like an experience and I want more of that! Just imagine if Miley did sumn like that for 'Plastic Hearts', I would DIE.
My hot take on music: Indie music is better than mainstream music. There is such an authenticity with indie artist that I feel like bigger artists lack. I think it’s because indie artist has more of a connection with their fans. Also, they put in so much work to their music. They write, they conceptualize, they produce their own stuff. Some deserve more credit for their work.

You have a way of seeing things that honestly I think many people don't usually see before you mention it and I think it's a big part of why we all like to keep coming here, for your perspective. You remind me of Taylor in that aspect, you're just yourself and it doesn't feel like we are a Fandom (eww, God no) but we are all friends who like the same things and kinda (I SAID KINDA!) think the same way.
I can't wait til one day that I hear you comment on my music when I step up to do it but til then, all the love Ash.

”If you dont know everything youre not a true fan” I hate this so much because I often love someones music but it doesnt mean I have to know everything about their personal life
Amen
She probably meant like a fan of an artist not fan of their music.
Like you can like Taylor Swift's music but still not be a fan of her.
