Can he recover and score a big hit again? I don't think recovering will be easy... He's already severely damaged his radio reputation and his core fan base is only getting smaller.

His not getting decent hits is because of the material he's putting out. This song is just not good. He needs to make songs such as Stitches, Treat You Better and There's Nothing Holding Me back, songs like those are when he's at his best.

He needs to make songs such as Stitches, Treat You Better and There's Nothing Holding Me back, songs like those are when he's at his best. I honestly don’t think it’s JUST the music. That certainly is one factor. His image is very transparent and the constant self-pressure to convince the world that he’s madly in love with Camila Cabello, makes him do strange things that have an adverse effect. He needs a completely new team and an identity. Does anyone really know who Shawn Mendes is? Does he know? He’s so faceless and bland. That only works for a pop star for so long. His base is shrinking with each project and I think it’s the PR. The interviews, the struggle to be seen a certain way when everybody already knows. Just chill and focus on your music. He should be working harder on developing as an artist than pandering his relationship. “Senorita” was a huge hit, but I think it did more harm than good. He needs to privatize his personal life and relax on the interviews for awhile. If there’s ANY substance in there, I sincerely hope he can find it before it’s too late. The clock is ticking. His fifth album reeking of the same ole vanilla shit would be the nail in the coffin. If I were him, I would take serious notes from “Lost in Japan” and make that a starting point. See where it goes from there. If only he could pull off an album like John Mayer’s Continuum.

I didn’t mind Shawns performance at the VMAs. At least I could tell he was singing. However even as a kid I was never into the lipped performance. I’ll take a bare performance sang live over a spectacle any day.

It was bad. Radio is doing the most, meanwhile no one is streaming it. Just let it go radio.

I really enjoyed his performance and the song is a bop.

VMA Performance was shit, but this song has grown on me so much. So, while I don't think it deserves to go #1 on radio, here's to it being a top 10 hit for him!!

Uyy, poor Shawn. He seems so confused, even just looking at his wardrobe choices -- now he's Harry Styles? He just doesn't pull it off and it's awkward to watch. It's like he's trying really hard to be something he's not, and that's why his career is stalling.
He's gorgeous and sweet and talented, but he has to sell us something believable to buy.

It's like he's trying really hard to be something he's not, and that's why his career is stalling. He's gorgeous and sweet and talented, but he has to sell us something believable to buy. He’s been cosplaying as a clearance rack Harry since Wonder. Not to say Harry invented anything, as he is also borrowing from trends set before he was even a thing in his mother’s womb. However, it takes a certain confidence and authenticity to pull off the gender fluid look. Shawn just seems so… lost. I think he’s just throwing everything against the wall and trying to see what sticks. He needs a new team, and that includes new producers. Take a risk, there’s nothing left to lose. Call up Rick Rubin, get in touch with John Mayer, see if Stuart Price is open. Do something different; if you fail again, at least people will be able to respect your output.

^ Shawn singing something like "Your Body is a Wonderland" gives me an instant boner (and would likely do so for all girls AND boys) -- get on it team Shawn!!

People often seem to forget If I Can’t Have You, which was arguably his biggest hit at that point in his career, it’s just that Senorita came right after. So I don’t think In My Blood and Lost in Japan was the beginning of his downfall. In that case it’s just the last era that sucked, he can come back I think

There's is no reason he shouldn't be at least doing what Ed is doing with "Bad Habits" and "Shivers". Safe, but catchy.
