Taylor Swift, Lady Gaga, BTS – a South Korean boy band, Khalid, and Ariana Grande made the ‘Time’ ‘Most Influential’ List.
Celine Dion said about Lady Gaga: “She’s definitely one of the most inventive artists we’ve ever seen. Her artistic expression has no rules, no boundaries. When she first came on the scene with her outrageous style, she didn’t care what the critics said. She marched to the beat of her own drum, knowing that her message of individuality was a way to express her inner strength.”
Shawn Mendes on Swift: “Taylor makes anyone older feel young again and anyone young feel they can do anything. It’s so rare and so special. If there is one thing I want to achieve in my career and life, it’s that.”
Halsey on BTS: “Surely it takes remarkable talent, charm, kindness, altruism and dedication. But you’d still be missing a key component: a devoted community to uplift your efforts, soften your stumbles and shoot light from their eyes into the sky in your name every single night. By these parameters, BTS has reached the top.”
Lady Gaga successfully transitioned from a pop singer to a social media star, then to an actress. She is wrapping it all up with a Las Vegas residency debut.
Billboard: “An absolutely delicious smorgasbord of pop music, performance art and fantastic futurism during her 90-minute set that kicked off in true Gaga fashion.”
People Mag: “highly energetic show.”
Rolling Stone: “Brittany Spanos also said “sensory overload” of a performance. “For a show that at first seemed like an excuse to remind us what Gaga is best at, it ended up becoming a show that confirms and begins her legacy”
Yahoo Music: “full-on conceptual production featuring the diva at her campy, crazy best…”
Entertainment Weekly: “weird, wonderful Lady Gaga.”
Consequence of Sound said it best. Lady Gaga is pop’s self-made woman. She kept saying she was a superstar until everyone believed her.
Maria Milis , the 19 year old released her first ever 4 track dreamy-atmospheric EP which details a toxic relationship. My favorite track Bring Out The Devil In Me has a Lorde vibe, while Medusa sounds like she was hanging with Adele when she wrote Skyfall. While the EP is far from perfect, its moments of messiness makes it special. Hailing from North London, the singer songwriter cites Lady Gaga, Stevie Nicks, Kanye West and The Red Hot Chilli Peppers as influences. Check out her short documentary discussing the meaning behind the tracks.
