I don’t get it. Her music is sometimes catchy but otherwise unremarkable, from the songs I’ve heard. How does she break all these records and accumulate so much fame and wealth?
She’s pretty, but a lot of singer songwriters are, especially those with makeup and costume people, a support staff.
Is there something else to her that people like?
I’m confused about what makes her so apparently uniquel or phenomenal.
The Beatles had a huge and demonstrable effect on a large portion of rock n roll music. I’m not their biggest fan in any way, but you can literally see how they helped initiate a huge change in popular music in their era if you look at what came before them and what came after. It’s pretty disingenuous to claim it was mainly only hype.
In retrospect, yes. They became hugely popular and that influenced lots of artists that came after them. Was “Love Me Do” really that groundbreaking? How about “Twist and Shout”?
