Yeah, I'm not sure why they thought she could fill arenas when she's only had one album and two hit singles. This tour was doomed from the start.
I feel bad for her. It's been one thing after another for the last year, and shit just keeps getting worse.

Poor her. It's so weird that everything started to blow up in her face just months after she finally made it from a no-name to THE name. I wonder what excuse she'll give about the tour being cancelled after the inevitable question comes up in future interviews.

(lol I wish) I'm pretty sure if she wants to work with him as she says she did that IDJ will make it happen. I mean looking at their roster she's in a good place over there and they seem willing to pump money into her.

Admittedly I am not the biggest Iggy fan, but I still think there is a place for Iggy in pop. It will take some work considering it's an uphill battle right now, but I could see it happening.

She should just focus on making pop jams and not try to label herself as an Urban Rap artist a la Pitbull. She is more embraced on pop then urban for sure.

^^ Agreed. I think she needs to focus on being a pop artist. She doesn't have to abandon the urban tracks, Rolex, Don't Need Ya'll, Work - those were all amazing songs. But it's obviously the poppier side of Iggy that works.
I feel so bad for her. She was on the grind for so long, she finally made it.. and then it started to crumble as soon as it began (oh my God, she's not gonna be a Vanilla Ice is she? At least she made it further than he did.) She had those angry spurts on social media, challenging and b*tching about everyone and everything. Then she goes into hiding, massacres her face (being dramatic - but still, wtf), and now cancels the tour. :( I'm still here for her, but damn, she's got a lot to prove with this next era. Make or break for sure.

I wonder if the album actually will be pushed back to 2016. It's only the end of May now, and I can't imagine her waiting that long to put out new material. I get that they're probably waiting for some of the backlash against her to die down, but a yearlong wait is a bit much. People really won't care about her by then.

Maybe they'll put out some singles throughout the rest of the year, I mean The New Classic had four pre-album singles (I know she was in a different position back then but still.)
And perhaps waiting for people in general not to care about her as much wouldn't be such a bad idea considering how obsessed some of them still are with hating on her for any reason nowadays, lol.

Well that was a short lived career. No animus here. Just an observation.

The second verse on "Heavy Crown" is fire. Does anyone else think it's about Nicki?

That obviously should've been the next single. It even had a damn movie tie-in and they just let it waste.

It's so funny how her team/label really told her Heavy Crown was not formatted for pop or rhythmic and she'd lose two formats and that was actually what ended up happening by releasing Trouble (with it not even being sent to rhythmic either?) and pissed off most of her fanbase that despised Trouble in the process I bet they weren't counting on it actually doing something to get back her original markets (UK & Australia) that supported her stuff before the reissue and even pre-Fancy at a smaller level :kii: They truly are a bit clueless, aren't they?

It would've easily been a Top 5 and even #1 contender in both of those markets and a solid Top 10 in the US. The dance remixes would've turned that hook into an EDM smash.

The only reason I forgave her team for putting out the messy ass reissue is because it allows me to experience the life-giving Iggy Szn and We In This Bitch whenever I want now. (even if they ultimately paid dust to the solo stuff singles-wise yet again. at least Beg for It was an ultra bop as well #Justice4BFI not having a video and the whole Jingle Ball bs screwing that entire campaign up) I love We In This Bitch so much esp the verses Right, Iggy back no play time, I just gave yall some break time to miss me. So stressed on whats next, my last lil bit of success aint even hit me. So keep it light on the advice look at us we must be doin something right clearly. In convo I dont talk to too many, I just talk to fans in the songs cuz yall feel me. Now lets reflect where we left on New Classic. I overstepped what was expected, blew past it. So best bet is respect my perspective or go get your sight checked for new glasses. The fact is you combine the stats with the history I made the message should be established. I guess what I'm explainin in laymens is aint nothing about ms Azalea average!

I had to write a hit to get this type of chip Riding dick won't get me nowhere, I ain't that type of chick That's so unladylike, especially knowing they be like "Iggy this" and "Iggy that" Long as you say it, say it right!

I don't understand why she just didn't scale down her tour from an arena to smaller venues like Kelly Clarkson did years ago during the My December debacle.

Because the new album was postponed too and is no longer coming this year according to the tour statement. I'm starting to think she might be taking a break too and get married or whatever at this point.
