Quote from: GYNandTONIC on May 23, 2023, 10:49:49 AMUsher definitely goes quiet for extended periods of time. I'd actually argue that during B7, Cinderella anniversary, Queens era Brandy was more present then all of her peers.

Brandy could be more active on social media like Monica, but that gets stale after awhile. When Brandy pops out it's a moment because she never does.

Brandy is a legacy act but that's to be expected. I don't see it as a bad thing. I do feel she'll have her Cher Believe in Love moment where she strikes gold later in her career. Acting will keep her afloat in the mean time. She's good

Bran has to rethink the MIA stuff ASAP.  It's fine for music but for acting it doesn't work. Her name carries weight in hollywood which is why she does get some nice productions but in order for her to get access to certain roles by becoming a box office star as top billed she has to up her profile (visibility).

Actors are losing out on major roles bc a studio doesn't feel they have enough followers.  Elle Fanning just said the below:

---
"I did try out for...I'm not going to say what it was, but I didn't get a part once for something big because, it might not have just been this reason, but this was the feedback that I heard, was because I didn't have enough Instagram followers at the time," she said. "So that was a little like...I firmly don't believe in not getting a part [for that].

Fanning has more than six million followers on Instagram alone. She currently stars in Hulu's "The Great," opposite Nicholas Hoult.

Maybe we have two different definitions then. How are you guys classifying? To me a legacy artist is someone whose body of work will keep them making money no matter if they release anymore..

You're suffering for 2 reasons:

1. Because she doesn't need the money, and even if she does need more she has acting options which is better than the music industry. Girls like Lalah Hathaway, Fantasia, and Mya keep their fans fed by releasing new music and touring cause they have to. For the most part music was their only avenue to make money and they never had a slew of major brand deals.

2. The passion is not there. She has nothing to prove. She's an amazing vocalist but she was never an artist outside of the studio. Brandy's vocal arrangements is where her artistry ends. She doesn't care about visuals and live shows like a Gaga, Janelle Monae etc. She was a teenager who had dreams of being a megastar like Whitney Houston, mission accomplished. She was a teen pop star, we all just lucked out by actually being able to witness her mature into a superb influential vocalist. Brandy has a love for music and recording but it ends in the studio where she let's it all out. She's not that artist that's dying inside if her precious art isn't being released to the public or if she doesn't hit the stage.

Bonus: She's also not thirsty or desperate for fame and willing to do anything just to stay relevant. Ciara and Kelly Rowland are clear examples of that. Alternatively, look at how someone like Ashanti just goes out and makes her show money then goes right back to being on vacation despite being commercially viable.

….ok.

fas is an act that needs to be held accountable .

that's what category she's under for sure .


how u let him cheat

then take him back? must be yo only nigga.

and i agree that usher IS a legacy act, but i don't think he's really LOOKED AT as such. idk it's hard to explain
then take him back? must be yo only nigga.

I think it's because even though he hasn't had an album out in a while. He still has a large presence at radio, award shows, etc. Things that make him seem more current imo.

A legacy act is someone who isn't really viable commercially anymore but can live off of past hits. Beyonce is still making hit records.

Bows answer is actually the most reasonable and balanced IMO

It makes sense

Fas definitely leans a lot on her legacy mess but she is still current .

Nicki will be in that category too in a few years if she keeps up the amazing work

how u let him cheat

how does bey lean heavily on her old mess? the only time we hear the mess is on tours (which is supposed to happen) and BARELY then because she got so much new mess to squeeze in

 :uhh:
then take him back? must be yo only nigga.
