Chapter 919: Trend Superstar

Speaking of which, the DVD format was finalized last year, but the consumer market has not yet started, and music videos are still sold on tape in the United States.

After all the MVs of the 21 album were unveiled, they really attracted the attention of the whole meter, except for a lot of boasting that I am rich and I am super rich, etc., it is the cool and beautiful woman who is everywhere in the MV.

For example, Charis, who fell from the sky in flesh-colored lingerie in Earned It, and the seven chair dancers who only blocked their hands on their chests, and the dirty label given by the RIAA were also added to other MVs.

The bikini girl dancing in Miami Beach in Cheerleader, Angelina Ake and Alan Ponpai kissing in I Gotta Feeling, Charlise and herself in their pas de deux, Mambo No. 5 and Angelina in songs like Mambo No. 5 and Angelina, and the blonde kingdom in Ai Se Eu Te Pego......

Except for women such as Beyoncé and Kelly Rowland, who are still underage, the entire music video is a river of hormones flowing with consumerism and sexual attraction, which instantly detonates public opinion like a bomb.

'APLUS's second album is undoubtedly a diamond album, and there's no doubt about his musical exploration, which I never doubted. But I'm still going to say I'm disappointed in him, he should have touched on social issues as much as he did in the first album, and only one song in the second album, Dead And Gone, did it. The young man had completely succumbed to the boring notion of money supremacy and the heap of women, and now it seemed that Mariah Carey's decision to stay away from him was perfectly correct and timely. ’

Rolling Stone Magazine, Philby.

'APLUS has dedicated a visual feast to us with the dirty label of RIAA, plus a good-sounding super god specialty, what is there not to be satisfied with? Regardless of what the sanctimonious critics say, buy it and remember to go home and put it in a place where the kids can't find it. ’

VIBE Magazine, Rashida Jones.

APLUS is a degenerate, non-connotative, second-rate singer who sells hues to attract albums, and his lyrics are completely meaningless, with no poetry or beauty at all. ’

Full Music, Miller Freeman.

'APLUS sometimes makes me feel like he's a unique artist from his time, and we used to focus on his music and gossip news, but we never talked about it properly. In addition to hip-hop elements and formal wear, his daily street photos often reveal an oriental style similar to Issey Miyake's, ignoring tradition, simplicity, comfort, individuality, and the pursuit of freedom......

And her unique aesthetic for women, in the music videos for Earned It and Mambo No. 5, the female dancers he chose were all convex and backward, but definitely not fat. They're too beautiful, they're too unique, they're not tall and skinny in the mainstream, they're not the plump style that some African hip-hop artists admire, they're healthier, they're more energetic, they're not sculpting......

San Francisco Clothing Herald.

What we may not know is that APLUS has been in charge of the high-end T-shirt line design of A+ Apparel, yes, he can design clothes, and in recent years we have always seen him at the local fashion show in Miami, he has long been a player and trendsetter in the fashion industry, such as the long-sleeved and short-sleeved T-shirt combinations that have long been popular. ’

Miami Herald.

Even though the RIAA's dirty label prevented the music video and music videos from appearing in many mainstream marketing occasions, all the criticism and rebuttal pushed themselves to new heights, and they began to talk about whether APLUS was a trend superstar or not, which Song Ya never expected.

According to the feedback collected, after the divorce, she is not as popular with mainstream listeners as before, people are obviously more sympathetic to Mariah Carey, and the discussion about herself is still very high, as the saying goes, she is definitely still in the period of popularity.

For the first time, he also attracted the attention of the fashion circle, mainly the local fashion circle of the United States, and the words trend, fashion, taste, and style began to be associated with him.

In the African-American community, the bottom audience is more attracted by the East and West Coast Wars of gangster rap, but the middle and upper classes generally believe that they are the light of the black people, and they are expected to become the ultimate enhanced version of Quincy Jones, because although Quincy Jones has won countless Grammys but has never won an Oscar, and he has become the first African-American in history to win a double award at the age of 21, and the future of wealth and power is much greater.

In other words, I am basically not as solid as before, but there are more people who know me, my influence has long been out of the circle and abroad, and everyone has gradually recognized my personal talent, fashion sense, music and business talent, etc......

Although most of those are from the help of the Apocalypse.

People may not love themselves as much as they used to, but they certainly affirm themselves more than they used to.

For the first time, she was put on a trend prefix similar to Madonna, and it is precisely because Madonna is a trend DIVA that she can maintain an advantage over other DIVAs, which is undoubtedly a good phenomenon.

"Welcome, APLUS."

To coincide with the hot single Earned It, he appeared in New York to participate in David Letterman's talk show, "Congratulations on winning an Oscar." ”

"Thank you." He generously sat down on the couch.

"By the way, to be clear, I wasn't fired."

The host, David Lightman, is Johnny Carson's favorite protégé, and he feigned anger and played a meme that he cooperated with Johnny Carson to tease him at the Oscars.

"Hahaha, of course ......"

The comedy boss won't really be angry about this, the atmosphere is very harmonious, Song Ya knows that he is not a funny and quick person, but now it seems that he doesn't need that kind of ability very much, as a trend superstar, just complete the publicity task steadily.

I was sublimated again, he thought silently.

"Let's talk about the girl body you like, everyone has been talking about your Earned It MV lately." After interacting with some of the designed jokes, David Lightman asked.

"Uh...... I can't say it either, I think maybe I haven't had any fashion editors describe it myself, you know, some of their compliments make me feel a little embarrassed and flattered. Song Ya pretended to ponder for a while and replied with a smile.

"Haha, you can't tell you what you like, right?" David Lightman asked again.

"Yes, so I'm going to make it easier and bring them here."

"Bring? Is it here? ”

"Yes, you see......"

Song Ya stood up and motioned to the side of the studio, and the seven female dancers came onto the stage, still wearing the same short Sassoon hair as in the MV, of course, not so revealing, which caused the audience to scream.

"Chairs, I need chairs!" David Lightman clapped his hands and shouted.

Seven chairs were brought up, the studio lights dimmed, and the prelude to Earned It sounded......
