The problem is that Doja Cat mess it up herself,if she didn't went off on social media,scarlet would have been successful as Planet Her. I like scarlet but this is her fault.
Alot of it isn't even her fault, people on social media make up a narrative and believe rumors and it spreads. Also scarlet is a rap album with no features while a big part of her fanbase is pop stans, it wasn't going to do as well as PH no matter what. But give it time it just came out
All she said is it's not for her. She's allowed to not support things she doesn't agree with. I disagree with her saying Doja sold her soul, when none of these artists are making faith based music.
@@No35532 I agree this album should have had several big hits. Especially since she is a well-known artist who has a strong younger demographic. Scarlet album sales weren't that great either. It's not bad, but it's not that good. Planet Her sold 109,000 units / Scarlet sold 72,000 units (first week). But, smaller artists would kill for that many units sold within their first week.
Great video. I believe there is one difference with Doja and Beyoncé, Rihanna and others using dark and “demonic” imagery throughout their careers and it is simply this: artistic intention.
Well a lot of the "Demonic imagery" is just made up in peoples heads so they can start spouting off at the mouth about what THEY believe in and they are usually reaching! That is a huge problem on social media........
I mean I do feel like the demonic or just dark imagery for this album is a lot more overt than, when Beyonce or Rihanna had done it. It looks to me like Doja Cat or Lil Nas X for example making references to the devil or demons is very direct and obvious, they are both dressed like demons in their videos, she's standing next to the grim reeper in her video. Whereas when Rihanna and Beyonce went a little darker, it was a lot more implied, darker makeup, a couple of darker videos but not nearly as overt. I do think the "devil worshipping accusations towards Doja just because people misunderstood her tattoos and the art that she likes was unfair. As somebody who is into Gothic subculture, dark imagery doesn't really bother me much, but I get that mainstream audiences react differently to it. I'm gonna be honest, as somebody who has been into Doja's music since Amala, I lost interest in wanting to listen to Scarlett just cos I don't like being yelled at and cussed at. Artists have every right to express discontent with their older work, and they have every right to set firm boundaries when their fans start acting entitled, but they do not have to be disrespectful. I believe Taylor Swift had a similar issue occur where her fans were trying to tell her who to date, but she never blocked or cussed her fans out, she dropped music and kept it pushing. Nicki Minaj, expressed at some point that she no longer likes Starships or Anaconda, some her most viral popular songs, but she never called her fans dumb or stupid for liking those songs. Beyonce has never cussed out or disrespected her fans for doing to much, she calls out the haters on her songs, and she keeps a tight lid on her boundaries. Maybe Bey is just built defferent cos she did not grow up with social media, but its like you said, the delivery was off putting.
in what way is 72,000 album sales "good" from doja cat who is an established mainstream star. it just shoes a huge decline in interest and support from fans. THAT is a flop.
i mean, it was the most pirated album of the year in 2023. So it’s not that it flopped, it’s that people don’t want to support her. 72,000 isn’t flop, but it also isn’t the best. I would say the sales were mid not talking about pirated sales.
The. Cancelation or haters only lives in the internet. Im not defending doja but personally, i dont care about artists personal life... i just enjoy the music. People needs to stop to think that they owns us something... i listen whatever i like, nobody forces me to do anything... 🙄🙄🙄
She just went too far with her alter ego “Scarlet” but this is fr!! 15:27 this whole controversies helped to promote her album and this is crazy to think that most of her fanbases turned their backs to her but she’s still selling out and charting 😭
She's getting payola. Big time. Most of her numbers are fake. Don't believe the hype. If there's one thing from this conversation I agree with, is she's a puppet. Just a very talented industry plant
Doja Didn't have to disrespect her fans. I think that she could've done the same rollout and had a more successful album without being disrespect. I understand what she means of her opinion of her own work. Lot's of Black/Brown women sacrifice a lot of their sound just to be recognized. I like the album alot, she just didn't have to go into insulting people. I've been following her since before Moo, so I always looked out for her music. She has had a questionable journey, but her talent superceeds that. I just don't like the disrespect. I loved Planet Her and that's what made me a fan. I love Scarlett as well, not gonna lie. I think Doja will evolve her style, she knows what she is doing and honestly I'll still check for her. I don't think Doja Sold her Soul, I think it's a part of her Artistry, Everyone did the hand over the Eye thing, kesha, lady gaga, diddy, jay, z, kanye, riri, beyonce, ariana grande, taylor, katy perry etc. I don't think any of them sold their soul. Either Way, I still rock with Doja and I hope she continues her musical Journey. Love your channel!
The difference is, Beyoncé has affirmed her Christian faith her entire career and Rihanna literally said people are misinterpreting her based on her image, meanwhile Doja is pretending to be demonic to alienate her fans. She's nothing like Rihanna or Beyoncé who appreciate their fans even when telling them to calm it down or mind their business. If Doja thinks she doesn't need fans, she doesn't deserve any.
Doja made an album without much pop appeal. She criticized fans multiple times. She indulged Satan panic trolling. She refused to use conventional promotion tactics. And yet, during this era she has a song that’s spent multiple weeks at number 1, is about to go on an almost sold out tour and will likely get at least a couple more hits from this era. If that’s a “flop”, I want to be flopping 😂. Of course, the album would be doing better had she made an album more like Planet Her or with a bunch of songs like “Agora Hills” and if she didn’t get into so much mess over the past year. But if anything, Doja has proved with this era that no matter what, she’s here to stay if she so pleases. I do hope that there is some maturation going on with her. Because “beefing” with fans and the social media rants got tired months ago.
hahahahahahahahahaahahaahahaaaaaaa yep !! ! :''''''''}. THANXXXXXXX XXX XX XXX Beyonce RULES !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! RENNNATRACE THE MOVIE HOELLOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO YEP AWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWW SHE WILLB BE US ALLTHE WAY :""""""""""}
You clearly wasn't around then. She was getting illuminati accusations left right and centre during the i am sasha fierce era. Not saying she is because I don't believe in this stuff but she was one of the main artists who were in the thick of it all at the time.
Doja is a stellar artist but she lost me way before this. The racist chat rooms were enough for me. She is constantly alienating her fanbase, and I don’t think she really wants to be famous so maybe getting cancelled is a good thing. 🤷🏾♀️
People are treating Doja Cat the same way they treat Chris Brown but still listen to their music but hate the person the music it comes from. When will y'all learn that celebrities are still human and they aren't perfect. They make mistakes too. Stop expecting people to be perfect.
I bought tickets to see her live sorta close... I don't know how to feel about that I love the cash grabs and I would HATE that she change that era as demonic or rock or whatever, again, I don't know how to feel a part of me its sorta excited but another feels like I lost lots of money...and I do do concerts!
I love the scarlet and Doja cat she only saying what other celebrities afraid to say yes the rant didn’t help I will say I been on most of her live and ppl did come to her live to fuk with her calling her ugly stupid bald head she sick oh u need help ur trash they tour her down every chance they get and ppl misunderstand her images ur right ppl don’t read no more ppl got scared of her ppl don’t understand her in ways but the whole thing is a mess I hope she doesn’t respond more on ur right she no different from beyonce and riri Nicki yes they got called devil 👿 worship riri put it all in her videos wat hurt Doja is the is she talked about it a lot of ppl switch up on Doja yes it’s art and story telling I fully agree I know her tour will be good she smart , creative beautiful the album is not a flop yes her album do better overtime she will get back in good graces
Okay bringing Bey and Rih into this equation to justify the Doja Cat hate discredits everything that’s wrong with this video. 😂 The Illuminati?! What is this a joke?!
It’s still not too late for Doja Cat. She needs to give her spirit to the Lord Jesus Christ. Why would you expect anything less from a person who worships Satan?
Having a dark image it's different than offending fans on the internet. Lady Gaga went full with this dark imagery, but she was actually the opposite of Doja Cat with fans. She basically invented the concept of naming her fanbase, the "little monsters", while Doja Cat said she hates that.
The fact people won’t cancel her because they THINK this Scarlet is her alter ego… it’s not it’s the REAL AMALA!!!! She said she don’t want to be famous anymore… but y’all buying her music!!! SMH
The only difference is that Beyoncé and Rihanna know when to play the media to their advantage - especially Rihanna even when she was attacking ppl you know? And Rihanna was way more privileged at that point as well, and well Beyoncé did it all behind the scenes - and she had powerful ppl pulling strings for her. Doja has a couple but not as much or as powerful as Rihanna and Beyoncé. Who’s gonna save her career? With as much power as the ppl Rihanna and Beyoncé have with them or in their camp? You know? That’s the difference- then the audience.. if you don’t have to much influential and powerful ppl about you, at least you have your audience - that’s power as well and she’s been fucking that up, the one powerful source she can use to her advantage- but she’s not socially strategic enough. If you wanna throw shade and a lot of it - do it strategically so that at least your fans don’t know it’s them ur talking about even if it’s them. Like you don’t think Rihanna was kissed as fuck with her fans when they where attacking her for being shady? She was but she intelligently threw shade differently and would move chess pieces making her fans not turn against her.
I will say. Doja is a superstar. Or one that has been in the making - so basically she’s a superstar manifesting. She’s still gonna be a superstar. Her fans are gonna be obsessed w her. In 10 / 15 years she’ll have certain ppl that will be obsessed with her from the past at least - that on top of her stardom will keep her legacy alive as well. She’ll be okay
ngl yall talking bout she messed it fa haself duh do yall not pay attention she been saying for 2 years she wanna quit yall kept wanting her so now shes not giving a fuck bout her career bc she is tired of fame
@@criminalpotato3273 No one is on Beyonce's level. What are we talking about. If you're comparing anyone to HER yes. It is a lie, a laughable one. Doja's a try hard in comparison
@@stopthenonsense123 I mean most of Beyoncé’s lyrics don’t sound crazy, but she is definitely not giving lyrical Mozart if that’s what your implying. Of the raps I have heard, Doja’s are better than Bey’s when she has them.
@@vincikeeper1581 listen here fool she sings it, wears the tats, and glorifies that lifestyle.. if she were a believer of God she wouldn’t dare do these things..I worship Jesus Christ and I’m not ashamed to admit it so move along cause you’re not mentally or spiritually equipped to have this conversation 🥴
@@seektruth5750 ok I'll sing a song where I'm Pink Giant Unicorn, so by this logic I'm a unicorn? The only clear thing here, is that she obviously trolling. And of course there will be some people who will take it for real.
@@vincikeeper1581 the fact that you’re probably thinking you’re so clever for this example and actually thinking that these people are dumb enough not to know that the spirit is real. The example you made makes no sense unless there is an actual pink whatever it is you’re talking about. They make reference to God and the imagery which has history and foundation and proof , difference. People who believe these people are just being quacky are exactly the target market. What I know is, the devil believes in God too.
It's not fair to compare Doja's self made controversies to an unfortunate incident that happened to Megan and it sparked controversy. The thing with Tori Lanez was not Megan's fault, she didn't ask to get shot in the foot. That's where you kind of lost your point in the end.
Doja is better than beyonce and rihanna atleast she is honest she is not fake some of the stuff she say my seem hurtful but if we thought about it WHAT SHE IS SAYS IS HOW ALL ARTIST THINK ABOUT THEIRS AUDIENCES... only few artist actually love their fans and respect the support they get from them and the only one i can think of was MJ other than that they all are fake and are coping him just to get the same support he used to get from his own fans
I like the album but it's definitely not as good as the group think is trying to say it is. There aren't any classics, iconic songs = or music that'll frame a moment in time, nor any feel-good/ play at a party or club type song. Great bodies of work need to be inclusive. I still like it tho. Love Agora Hills. As for the persona, yup, she went too far but she'll recover. The general public loves her and once this era passes, she'll be officially seen as a leader in hip hop. I don't think she deserves that just yet but I will not act like she's not a solid Artist.
