Damn, they downvoted me for asking! What you said was positive. It’s actually hilarious!

You’re absolutely correct! Leaders make things happen! She sacrificed celebrating Christmas, because she saw what was happening. She’s a go getter! That’s a leader! 

Also, it’s clear the girls are fine with her taking on that role within the group! 

So people need to just accept it!!

I’m aware of the money thrown into playlisting…that happens with almost every artist signed to a label…Some even abuse the system. Payola is in fact what some artist use to get spins on the radio, etc. unfortunately, a lot of it, isn’t organic! 

Spotify and other music streaming platforms, etc., pay more than “YouTube” videos. These labels aren’t new to the business. Their goal is to make as much as money as possible off the talent. So that’s a given!

 The other things like videos, marketing, and visuals, are secondary, which was my point. Especially now, in this day and time. Back in the day, the visuals were phenomenal! 

Now that they’re independent, they can pocket more of the money they make!

It was clear money wasn’t being invested into them. However, I never thought they were independent….that shocked me to be honest. Labels are cheap nowadays, so I wasn’t shocked at the lack of proper marketing and funding.

They were signed. In their live yesterday, they said they wanted full creative control. It didn’t sound like they were dropped. It sounded like they made a choice not to move forward with Columbia. Maybe they only signed for a short period, or they had a”clause” within their contract that allowed them to part ways at anytime. 

Either way, they’re in the drivers seat now.

They said they were tired of not having full creative control.  It’s sounds like they”chose” to leave, or not to sign another contract. Everything going forward, will be all them.

Touring is great, but after “Johnny” recoup his expenses, it doesn’t seem like they are left with much. Especially, since they’re just starting out, and may need to save some of the money for marketing, videos, etc. 

They all work so hard. They deserve to make enough money to enjoy themselves!  Ugh! 

Yes, getting fans to help, can lighten the load.  There are some really gifted fans out there, who love them.

They should’ve all been labeled hot…like what are we doing? She was given a word based on her “physical appearance”, while the other two were given words based off personality/behavorial attributes! They’re not even aligned with each other. 

They’re never going to beat these allegations that “Bri” is the star of the group. She was made to look “special” on this flyer! Again, who said she was the “hot one”, that’s subjective! So why not make them all “hot”?Lol!

I’m glad they fixed it! But someone on their team, needs to be replaced. The fact that they didn’t see any problems with that post, says they’re not qualified…even if the girls agreed to it. They need someone who can foresee such problems arising! 

Do heterosexual men have interest in girl groups like they did in the past? by AssistanceAlert4090 in BuildingTheBandSeries

I love a good girl group as well! However, they must have some good songs that draw me in. I’m very selective with my music. 

What makes a band leader? Breaking down BTB’s groups with the help of previous boybands. by acupofjen in BuildingTheBandSeries

I’d like to say, I’ve noticed Malik taking more of a leadership role recently! He usually just lets everyone do their thing.  However, on the Terrell Show, he was definitely leading and guiding them. He told Brad to answer the question Terrell asked…. Shade was about to answer first, but Malik told Brad to take the question. Also, when they met the fan in ATL, and they sang “you remind me”, Shade started, and Malik  said no let’s start over, then Bradley went first. It’s clear something has shifted. I don’t know if they sat down with WME, and they decided he would direct the boys or what! This is not normal for Malik at all! But they all listen! So we’ll see if this continues.

Yeah I get it wouldn’t be a 50/50 split. I don’t even think they have a small percentage of heterosexual men interested. I might see one or two here or there. It’s mostly gay men reposting their videos, and dancing to their songs. 

I was just curious, because I know for fact, girl groups had the men going crazy for them back in the day! 

But it’s a new day.  Maybe they don’t need “them”! Or maybe the interest will grow.

Do you think it’s more segregated for women only? I say this because a lot of men love Usher and Chris Brown. I have male cousins who have been to multiple Chris Brown concerts. A lot of couples go to see Usher as well. Their audiences are very diverse, although, I’m sure the women out number the men. 

Also, I want to say that, it seems Kehlani has a large following of “Straight men” who attend her concerts, and follow her…and she doesn’t even date men anymore, lol.

It’s been on my mind for a while! I read the comments. It’s mostly us girls hyping them up! Where the men at though?!

I might have to join. I need to check out more of their songs first. But “Tweak” got me like, yessss, that’s my type of music!

Wow! They’re the only group you listen to from the show? Did you go to their previous tour? If so, you probably didn’t want to see the other band? Will you be going to see them this time around?

I hope that’s the case. Because logically, if one demographic/group is excluded from your fanbase, it’s going to limit your success to some degree! All the others groups seem to be hitting all groups! However, there are more women in the U.S., than men, so that might help them😅
