I think EDM artists are gonna have a similar issue as they get older.
Funny enough, she's kinda credited as the start of edm as well
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

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.
Donna summer was a pop girl so she's very well known everywhere. She's sold like over 100 million albums, 5 grammy awards, TONS of hot 100 hits and number one albums. I think its really moreso the disco thing that fckd her up. She did have success in the 80s a bit but that's when her career turned

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

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

sssssssssss

LaDISCO, wai..

On Whitney's board I remember someone posting a clip of her playing about and she was singing opera. She sounded pretty amazing.

I hate to say it  but I feel if Jan continues her antics she'll be in the same predicament.

Last Dance is my MESS! She definitely had the chops, just didn't progress with the times IMO.
