Dua Lipa Appreciation Dome (Radical Optimism, thoughts?)

[schma]

I genuinely thought this was a joke thread when I first saw it, but like some others here I'm 40 and clearly not with it. After reading the op I listened to a couple of songs linked in here and she's alright. I've seen her name pop up on playlists before but I couldn't tell you which of her songs I've ever heard beyond having just listened to Physical and the Barbie one. The songs seem well put together and more energetic than pop has been for a while. However, compared to the pop I'm used to, there doesn't seem to be a lot of energy. It works as background noise. I'm used to pop that, well pops.

[Cranjis McBasketball]

I have absolutely no idea who this person is.

So, no.

I don’t sit around listening to Dean Martin, but I know who he was.

That’s kind of the point.

There is just a whole level to going from..best of your generation maybe to talking GOAT status.

Mariah
Janet
Whitney
Madonna
Britney

And that barely scratches the surface and no disrespect to this artist but I aint seeing anyone outside of the most hardcore of her fans surely putting her in that discussion and even then I think her fans absoloutley know better.

The most credit goes to her producer(s) and engineer(s).

And the 60+ songwriters who worked on her two albums.

[wildojinx]

She's got some enjoyable dance pop, it'll be interesting to see how much staying power she has.

[Instant Classic]

She’s a classic radio only listen.

[Visagra]

I can tell you that I like way more of her Instagram posts than I probably should.

[darbus alan]

She's enjoyable for pop, but there's a bunch of her contemporaries I'd put above her.

[mj0mn0m]

I still can't believe Liv, Dua and Margot were all in the same building during Barbie premiere. ⭐

[Slingshot Suplay]

I don't care for her music, but she's gorgeous.

[Ben Wyatt]

Im not her target audience. That said, her music is perfectly catchy junkfood for the brain.

[The Lach is very tired]

She is my hall pass.

[salz4life]

I don't know about GOAT... but she is definitely a solid Pop act IMO. Her songs are catchy and that's what good Pop songs are.

[Tenshigure]

She's certainly one of the biggest breakout stars of the decade thus far, but she's got a LONG way to go before any conversation of 'greatest of all time' comes up. She has a unique voice for sure, but does not (yet) have the accolades compared to those who have the ability to make that claim.

Until then, who cares? Enjoy her music for what it is, and hope she produces creatively the things you want to see from her. That's all that matters at the end of the day, really.

[lucas_lee]

I mean a GOAT and what's good music and what isn't is subjective. So I ain't gonna trash the TC's opinion. If that's their opinion more power to them.

[Savage Gambino]

Greatest of ALL TIME? Hard no. I don't think Beyonce's the GOAT either, but I can say confidently that Dua Lipa is nowhere near Bey's level, musically or culturally.

She is far and ahead the biggest of the four Albanian pop stars currently in circulation, and that will have to do for now.

I might have to do the same thing, are there vinyls still out there? 😍 Would make for an awesome decoration in the living room. 

Was in theaters today with my best friend, she and I loved the movie. I think I saw Dua Lipa in it!

[mj0mn0m]

Thanks for the replies, I really do believe in her GOAT status. Just imagine what kind of shie'et she will spill out when she's 50! 😍 I ain't never leaving this train...

[mj0mn0m]

Almost 500 000 000 streams for "Dance the Night" at Spotify! 🤩 Well deserved. o/
