Girl Power
It seems that over the past year or so, solo female artists have been dominating the charts and the Grammy's. Smash hit Lady Gaga burst onto the scene last year and began selling records like crazy. Her hits "Poker Face" and "Just Dance" took slots 3 and 4 on the Billboard Hot 100 year-end chart for '09. Additionally, her latest monster "Bad Romance" continues to grow in popularity. Beyonce Knowles, perhaps the most successful artist of the last decade, experienced great success this past year with her album I Am Sasha Fierce. The album's most successful tune "Single Ladies" won the 2009 Best Music Video Grammy. Taylor Swift won Best Album at the Grammy's last year for Fearless. Her pop-country hybrid style seems to be working out splendidly. Don't forget there are other ladies that will be coming back on the scene soon. While "Rude Boy" is a catchy tune, I'm sure my favorite female artist, Rihanna, has more in store for us soon.

That's right! =] Girl's dominate the music industry right now. However, when you think about it, N*SYNC and Backstreet Boys dominated in 2000. What do you think changed this in ten years? I do agree that Beyonce and Taylor Swift are two of the most talented and the most successful in the past ten years. However, Lady Gaga remains at the bottom of my list. She is very talented, but her style is just verrrryyyy different. In a way, she reminds me of Michael Jackson. Maybe once she dies, she will go down in history.
ReplyDeleteI'm not sure what changed this, I think the world just grew out of boy bands. Yeah Lady Gaga is just alright in my eyes. Hahaha maybe once she dies, that makes me laugh.
