ill take a diet coke
Several critics have commented on Collins's omnipresence, especially in the 1980s and early 1990s. Journalist Frank DiGiacomo wrote a 1999 piece for New York Observer titled The Collins Menace; he said, "Even when I sought to escape the sounds [of Collins] in my head by turning on the TV, there would be Mr. Collins ... mugging for the cameras—intent on showing the world just how hard he would work to sell millions of records to millions of stupid people." In his 2010 article "Love Don't Come Easy: Artists We Love to Hate", The Irish Times critic Kevin Courtney expressed similar sentiments. Naming Collins as one of the ten most disliked pop stars in the world, he wrote: "[Collins] performed at Live Aid, playing first at Wembley, then flying over to Philadelphia via Concorde, just to make sure no one in the U.S. got off lightly. By the early 1990s, Phil phatigue [sic] had really set in." Tim Chester of the New Musical Express alluded to the backlash against Collins in an article titled, "Is It Time We All Stopped Hating Phil Collins?". Chester said of the unrelenting derision he has suffered, "a lot of it he brings on himself." He also said that Collins was "responsible for some of the cheesiest music ever committed to acetate". Erik Hedegaard of Rolling Stone mentioned that Phil Collins hate sites had "flourished" online, and acknowledged that he had been called "the sellout who took Peter Gabriel's Genesis, that paragon of prog-rock, and turned it into a lame-o pop act and went on to make all those supercheesy hits that really did define the 1980s".
it's always the same playbook.
Alright, we're in Q2. I'm gonna need the two pop debut AOTYs (Addison Rae and JADE) to be announced.
boring year so far
Bad Bunny and Gaga were good, but this is just par the course given how big last year was.
I think Harry Styles and Olivia Rodrigo are on the horizon pretty soon though as far as major releases.
When I thought JADE was gonna be the best debut pop act of the year, but it's turned out to be Addison. She's 4/4 on her singles
it's weird that 3 pop girls had circus themed albums around the same time
Britney, P!nk and Xtina?
Not sure if it's cause I'm getting old but I feel like pop music was more adult back in the day?
may: kali uchis, pinkpantheress, miley cyrus
june: addison, haim
these are all shaping up to be pretty good...
@RVI @atthepyramids @Brave
