Name recognition. Not so much Justin I think but Lady Gaga is still a somewhat famous person at this point. She hasn't reached Las Vegas act status yet, especially after the buzz from her movie recently.
Why are Justin Timberlake and Lady Gaga allowed to have massive flops and still get top billing?
- Thread starter Booker T Garvey
- Start date

WE treat him like a B list star though. Part of it is Usher's own doing because his music is so damn inconsistent, but we've become snobby when it comes to Usher, like if it ain't Confessions-level good, we don't wanna hear from him.Usher has sold more records than TimberSnake Period. (Not Just Confessions either)
Yet he is treated like a B list star while JT is their "King of Pop"
Justin and Gaga have had successful side hustles as actors. That keeps them relevant.
They can go on world tours and stuff for the same reason why Mariah Carey and Janet Jackson can even though we really have no interest in hearing any new music from them, and that's pretty much the new wave of the future: successful touring acts who live off their catalog will be a huge thing since those classic touring acts are either dying off or retiring.
I thought that at first, but Timberlake brings in the gay community like that though?

FACTS. big facts.
But i'm saying how did she even get that opportunity....they wasted millions of dollars on that project that didn't even go platinum
I can't name another artist that got that type of a second chance regardless of race
Timberlake has had one flop.

Cuz Bradley Cooper was the director and wanted her to star in it. Sounds simple enough.
Her last album wasn't Artpop though. She did that duet album with Tony Bennett that did really well and then she dropped Joanne which went platinum and won a Grammy. Then she did the Superbowl and headlined Coachella. See, while we ignored her, she was still working and switched her image up.
The acting part of it came when she did American Horror Story.
THATS LIKE SAYING WHY IS ICE CUBE STILL RUNNIN THANGS WHEN HIS LAST ALBUM SOLD 7K COPIES..
THEIR LEGACY TRANSCENDS MUSIC, THATS WHY

And that role was always going to go to a singer. Beyonce was originally attached to the project when Clint Eastwood was handling it, when she left he was looking at Esparanza Spalding.
