I will never go to one of her hybrid concerts and have to hear friggin' O Mio Baboring Crappo next to a watered-down piano-accompanied version of BME. I would be ecstatic if she announced that she was going dark for a year or two to work on new material (and actually re-emerge with a new catalog) rather than see her be too squeamish and afraid to lose her geriatric fanbase. She will outlive ALL of her current fans, so what the hell is she going to do when they all finally kick the bucket? If she's going to remake herself, then friggin' remake! This wishy washy crap of trying to hang onto fans with tired-ass "old favorites" is bullish!t.

I feel your pain but a girl has to pay her bills, so she has no choice but to try and hang on to her old loyal fan base.

This wishy washy crap of trying to hang onto fans with tired-ass "old favorites" is bullish!t. You are right but your timing is wrong. Her current fans will be around for at least a decade longer so there is no hurry to transition to pop. If she does a fast transition to pop, she will have very little income for the next few years. A slow transition allows her to feed herself while she builds up her pop repertoire, which will take a few years. She will then make the transition when she (1) has written enough pop songs and (2) has attracted enough pop fans. In other words, she waits until she can make a living from pop. Of course, it is entirely possible that she will never make a living entirely from pop. In that case, she will remain the CC/AC/pop hybrid that she is now. There is no need to do anything rash and burn any bridges.

So few posters here have decided Jackie has an average voice that can’t make a living singing! Well she has been doing so for over a decade! She will continue to do so!

Post by What is a Hit? on Apr 29, 2024 15:07:12 GMT -5
Has anyone checked how BME is doing on charts and streaming? Sims said it was a hit but I haven't seen any evidence of that except some radio plays. It would be good to have a baseline on the song's status to compare with how it does after Solla is released.
To me a hit is a song that is widely played (as opposed to regionally), and at least "hits" the Billboard Top 40 for all genres. I've looked online and most descriptions of what constitutes a "hit" talk about song elements like melody, lyrics, new-and-different, ear-catching. It's all very subjective and even recording industry people admit that a lot of good songs don't make it. So the only objective data to go on is published statistics, and I can never find that stuff.

Well, that should be easy to determine. Did it achieve this? In the United States and the United Kingdom, a single is usually considered a hit when it reaches the top 40 of the Billboard Hot 100 or the top 75 of the UK Singles Chart. The Guinness Book of British Hit Singles has used this definition since the 1970s.

That could change. It's early and there's not many events scheduled so far. Still waiting for this big comeback surge. Looks like it will be a very long wait.

Mike scolded us peasants and proclaimed Sims was the member we should all emulate. Unfortunately for him that was short lived when Lisa banned him from the forum. If I recall he was the first member to get the boot. I don't think that msims has ever gotten over getting the boot from Lisa.

Yeah, I think at this point, while still possible...it's highly unlikely that Jackie will be doing that event his year. Seems she wants to try something a little different this year.
