    1. She had like four songs everyone knew one summer – I don’t know if flop is the right word

      That’s it?! That’s the article?! Damn, I wanna be a staff writer for Atlantic

    3. Short-ass article, wtf? Said almost nothing, certainly didn’t explain “How she became pop cultures great flop”.

      Pop stars have short careers on average, Lizzo was far from a one-hit wonder though. She had some controversy that hurt her career and pop has moved away from her in general, nothing monumental about that

      I saw her this past February at the Blue Note in LA and thought she was fabulous. I believe she sold out all 4 shows.

    5. Eh, mor like she’s someone that defied industry standards and broke the mold

      I wouldn’t call her a flop but I know people want her to

    6. Lizzo was an act of the times. She based her schtick on the 2019-2021 push for acceptance and equality, mixed with anti all the other far right rhetoric. Once she was exposed it call came crashing down. There is no coming back from that.

      Not so much a flop, but a grifter like so many other “entertainers” these days.

    7. Industry plant that never took root?

      She got the awards and stuff but none of it seemed organic. She was shoehorned into everything like James Corden.

      The writer must have been let go from The Atlantic while he was writing the article.

      Stop creating posts like this just for clout. She wasn’t innocent but the people that condemn her are probably just as bad if not worse. Just sayin
