I remember these 4 lead singles were generally disliked even hated, considered bad choices, and all underperformed hard, in early 2010s, followed by underperformed albums as well.
After a decade, which one is your favorite?
*The Xtina one was hated so much with a trying-too-hard Madonna-inspired music video, extreme Lady Gaga comparison. Barely made top 40 Hot 100 after a huge hype of comeback. Bad image for her. Followed by her first flop album, Bionic. Xtina never recovers except for a few collaborative hits until now.
*The Beyonce one was hated so much with a very weird music style, too noisy, too much happening. Barely made top 40 Hot 100 after a huge IASF era. Followed by "4" album which failed to garner any top 10 hit. Good to see her back later with a surprise self-titled album.
*The Nelly one was hated so much with a cheap demo-like urban sound. Cheap and weird music video. A loooong wait (6+ years) of comeback, after a huuuuge Loose era in 2006. Followed by one of the biggest flop albums ever by a mainstream artist. And Nelly never charted anymore on Hot 100.
*The Mariah one was hated so much with a very weird choice for a (cancelled) lead single, in where Mariah sounded like a featured artist than as a lead artist. With 2 rappers singing more words than her. After a huge anticipation post pregnancy + significant weight loss, the single didnt even chart and didnt make the album, Me I Am Mariah (The Elusive Chanteuse) 2 years later.
