I mean...
it feels kinda weird to me.
when she died, the week after she only sold 26K ( of ALL her albums).. and that was it.
she got 1 min tribute at bet by chante, 1 minute tribute at the billboard music awards..
and .. it's ... over?

nothing more, no documentary, no little movie, no nu album... i feel like there's no recognition for her at all.
Like even when you look at the pictures of singers that people want back on instagram.. you will never find her..
it's like..a bit.. weird..
i have my theory about me.. but before i write an article about it..
i want to have your opinions guys.

yummy

She was never the superstar Diana and Tina were and spent most of her later years in recluse, but I would love to see her biopic.

CHOKE

Donna summer is from the disco era which is discounted and disregarded. People liked her and some still do but her being overlooked isn't surprising,  that whole era of music is disregarded
This is my pass to say WHATEVER tf I wanna say about the mess she releases so I don't wanna hear SHIT! Baby mama is a mess of a song btw

I wouldn't say nobody cares because she has fans all over the world, but she wasn't really R&B. Disco/Pop was her main genres.
A Donna Summer biopic would be so good, though.
Crayons (Deluxe Edition) is coming out this month.

Right! Donna summer is extremely popular so saying no one cares is silly.  There are just some people who are revered in music.  Donna summer is not michael jackson, whitney, or prince

Yeah.you are right... my point wasn't to "downgrade" her, of course she has fans..
but i don't feel like there's an expectations for her..
yeah digital re-release with dance remixes..

i want seeing her BIGGER than that..but okay.

! Doing predominantly Disco gave her more of a cult following in later years. I really don't know much of her music at all.

I think EDM artists are gonna have a similar issue as they get older.

I could see Kelly playing her in the biopic.

She had some success in the 80s as well but yea her whole career is primarily disco. She was VERY successful during the disco era. she's actually known as the queen of disco so when disco got that backlash, she was caught up in it. She sang her ass off tho. When Vh1 was still doing all those divas live concerts, she actually got her own show. I watched that shit like wow, this old lady singing her ass off :dead:
Matter fact, i bought that live album after seeing that show :plzstop:

Donna always seemed more like an international/overseas sensation and not as embedded in the (African-)American world as some of her peers. She lived in Germany and spoke German too, she's a big name here I know that.
