I feel like the music that she makes now is much better then her old music, and yet, she is mostly recognized for her old music
That’s what’s mostly with big 2010 artists. They make generic pop in their early career and mature over time with their sound
Don’t forget taylor swift and Katy Perry’s new music sounds very similar to Carly rn
NAGISA SHIOTA yea true, although Katy and Carly aren’t getting the acclaim that they deserve
Her new music with the bleachers is pure gold.
Yesss
carly rae jepsen is one of the best Pop artists of this generation
EMOTION and dedicated were critically acclaimed and her music isn't that kind of generic radio friendly pop music, she's heavily inspired by 70s and 80s synth-pop which fits her so much!
she's probably my favorite female pop artist
I’m glad that you have such a great artist as your favorite
@@carlosasan2604 thank you!! :)
Thanks to the 1989 album by Taylor Swift.
I agree, but it doesn't sell. Emotion, Dedicated A and B were commercial flops. Music is good tho.
@@justafidemyself sales ≠ quality
Carly Rae Jepsen’s career summarized:
Pre 2012: Not known by anyone
2012: Call Me Maybe
2012-2014: Call Me Maybe girl
2015: Releases “Emotion” (album) and became a gay icon who now has amassed a cult-like following as a pop legend 🌈💕
yasss hunny
2019: Dedicated was almost nominated for a Grammy award but was snubbed because the judges ain’t shit.
RA AR Truly. Dedicated was one of my favorite albums released in 2019 and it deserves so much more recognition.
Tea
Can I ask you why LQBT people considered her as a gay icon? Is she a part of the community too? Just curious. Thanks in advance.
Scooter Braun is a piece of work for only promoting Justin Bieber and Ariana grande when we had/has Carly Rae jepsen, CL, amber riley, tori Kelly and Asher Roth right on his label. Emotion is still one of the best pop albums of the decade.
Damn, u r a real OG. you still remember asher Roth? Lol
jemin kim yup I was a alternative hip hop head growing up in the late 2000s and early 2010s
When Carly is much better than em all especially demu and justin ew
who is CL???
@@sebastiangn9524 shes a korean rapper who was in the group 2NE1, one of the biggest girlgroups in Korea before they disbanded
She has established her own identity. She is loved by loyal fans. She's got a cult following her who truly appreciates her. She's an unbothered queen. We love her
A big part of her downfall was her management. Scooter controlled everything up until I Really Like You. Apparently, he left an intern with Carly after that song didn’t do good. It was managements decision to release Emotion in Japan way before the US release date. Plus the record leaked around that time and didn’t help at all. Scooter dropped her not long after it was released in the Us. A friend who is a huge Carly stan gave me this tea.
dude, Taylor was right, fuck Scooter
nane It seems like he’s only kind to the people that bring him lots of money.
Carly didn't want to be a pop superstar. Wasn't into the intense attention. She let her management and co-writers know this. She likes the cult status. It's an intentional strategy.
@@MrAlterior preach. finally, a good answer.
Run Away with Me should've been the lead single off Emotion instead of "Call Me Maybe 2", because that song was a bop and a banger that slapped!
"Your Type," "Gimmie Love," and "Let's Get Lost" all would have been better candidates than "I Really Like You."
Carly thought the same. But her company wants IRLY as a single.
LA Hallucinations and bor problem is unique and fun
@@sephjy1370 F*ck Scooter!
I really like I Really Like You, but it takes a while to build. Run Away With You slaps you in the face and says "I'm back bitches". It kicks off the album and it should have kicked off that era.
Scooter Braun ruined her career. He focused more on Ariana and Justin and paid dust to Carly
Scooter has ruined the careers of many. He has a tendency to sign artists that are trending and have huge potential, and under promote them. Honestly, he has more flops to his name than he does hits. Tori Kelly, Rixton, Who Is Fancy, The Wanted, CL, Psy, and The Knocks could have all been huge, but had their careers mismanaged by Scooter.
I don't think so. She flops because her songs are too beautiful for today's shitty generation. You know what I mean.
@@Dervis128 Did CL sign with that rat? I didn't know that
To be honest, the issue with CRJ in my opinion is that she has too many down-beat slow songs. Her upbeat music (even when it's about serious subject matter) is what really shines, but it comprises little of her discography.
her career isn't ruined. she's still living her best life and putting out amazing bodies of work, and I'm sure she's much happier now. a lack of mainstream chart success doesn't equal failure.
She’s actually playing the long run. No one’s going to notice her getting older and consumed with fame, which is a nice thing for a change. Her faithful fans will be there to support her artistic integrity instead of just remembering her as the “Call Me Maybe” girl.
I kind of think Carly's in the best position she could be in though. She has a ton of creative control, she works with amazing co-writers and producers, she's a critically acclaimed indie darling with a devoted following and is a gay icon. To me, that seems like a much better outcome than being a really huge pop star, what with all the baggage and restrictions that come with that.
She is more real to me, she is sweet and positive and showing her emotions in such a powerful, unique, and effective way. All of those things on her is balanced and shows her own charm of personality.
I think she's ok with where she is at in the music industry. She once commented that the CMM success was overwhelming and that kind of fame was uncomfortable for her.
the thing about carly is, she has one of the strongest fanbases i have ever seen. all of her fans are ride or die and i can say that as im one of them
EMOTION is probably one of the best albums... Carly is so underrated, she has so many bops!
Call Me Maybe was huge, but it wasn't the kind of song that made you interested in the artist who sang it. Didn't help that her followup singles were nowhere near as memorable, and by the time EMOTION rolled around, any interest in her as a persona was completely gone. She's found her niche and seems to be much happier now than when she was under Scooter's wing, so I say just let her thrive in her own lane
Carly Rae Jepsen, Lorde, Charli XCX, Tove Lo, etc. are all artists with at least one very recognizable hit and then has proceeded to create so many masterpieces that don’t even chart and I fail to see why. Like even if the promotion is week, don’t people get curious about where these people ended up? And Carly has such a huge fan base with the LGBTQ+ community so I’m surprised her later songs aren’t as well known.
I think it’s good that they aren’t mainstream and don’t chart. It prevents the music from being overplayed and losing the creative edge that it has. They are the few pop artists that are keeping the genre alive and it’s a good thing that mainstream media hasn’t tainted that.
benjamin jackson Well she at least deserves to earn more revenue and accolades for her albums since they are much masterpieces. Even if she doesn’t see the charting performances we think she deserves.
Carly Rae Jepsen, Lorde, Charli XCX, and Tove Lo all have largely-gay fanbases (and I'm gonna throw in Allie X here because more people need to find her).
What is my takeaway? Gay people know good music.
you forgot MARINA
Isomer Mashups Oh true! I don’t listen to Allie X, but she’s made some good music from what I’ve heard!
It’s disgusting how Scooter just left her in the dust because she wasn’t selling well.
And her music still plays. I love it.
Scooter is a person who just betrayes people!!Taylor Swift too
@@anviesingh8412 wait I’m confused? Did Scooter betray Taylor or does Taylor also betray people…?
@@captainayaaya28 not to be liased, taylor has also betrayed people
but in this scooter case
scooter betrayed her, by selling her music without permission
Emotion and Dedicated are amazing albums. “Runaway With Me” is pure gold. Please don’t sleep on those!
Runaway With Me is probably my top 5 favorite songs of all time.
I feel like Carly Rae falls into the emerging group of artists that gain huge gay/pop fan followings, and even have one or more hits, yet never hit the mainstream (such as troye Sivan, charli xcx, Tove lo, etc.) it’s a real shame because she is BEYOND talented, and also so so sweet in person! emotion is such an amazing album, one of my favorites!
Let's not forget Allie X. More people should talk about Allie X.
May i ask you what exactly Carly did that she became gay icon ? I've heard this very often but couldn't figured out why ?
Sir Snakespeare at the end of the call me maybe music video, it’s revealed the guy carly’s crushing on in the video is gay. (played more so for a laugh, sadly, but was still seen as major LGBT rep during that time.) also I think just the fun/be yourself attitude expressed in her music has attracted a lot of gay fans. (also I’ve seen a lot of drag queens do lipsyincs to her songs lol.)
Philippines love Carly Rae Jepsen :)
Yeah!!! Pinoy here 💖🇵🇭
Tbh, she's doing just fine. She may not be as big as other artists from her generation, but she created a loyal fans. She may be labeled as "One Hit wonder/Call Me Maybe Girl", but she's more than that.
Despite her not even being a one hit wonder lol :(
I saw Carly Rae perform in Philly. It was a sold out show, and the venue was packed to the point of not being able to move. The crowd was absolutely wild for her and they sang along to every song. You never would have known that she was considered "underrated" by the love in that venue.
E MO TION is a POP Masterpiece, Run Away with Me is my favorite song of this century, she's so good, so sad her music career is becoming the new Robyn, a perfect POP Star without mainstream hit.
Geez, It gets to my nerves that that piano cover of Dancin on my own is more known that Robyn's original version. I made my personal job to show it to everyone who likes that crap.
@@riquenique Yes I feel you! Definitely, the cover was good, it give Robyn a Jump into the mainstream at least.
Carly is so underrated ahhhh its so crazy that call me maybe came out when i was in kindergarten holy crap. edit: thanks 4 all the likes
definitely an underrated artist! E.MO.TION is one of my favorite pop albums of all time!
Runaway With Me should have been her lead single from Emotion. That song is perfect pop, and had crazy meme potential.
I’m proud to be living in the same time this legend is alive. Carly was mispromoted😥
I just listened to E•MO•TION yesterday for the first time and it’s a bop. I also somehow forgot she was Canadian until right now lmao. Edit: Apparently I saw her live when I was younger😳
You should check her 'Side B' release and 'Dedicated'!
Joseph Yap I have! Both are really good 😄
Her Side B for E.MO.TION especially the track Higher is out of this world amazing!
She also played Frenchy in Grease Live I didnt even know she could act it was cool seeing a different side of her.
She also played Cinderella on Broadway and has many tv roles and movie roles.😍 A talented queen she is.
She's so incredibly talented, I wish she got the recognition she deserves
She's just the best pop artist working today. Emotion and Dedicated are masterpieces
Queen of Pop!!
🧢🧢🧢
She deserves so much better. Her music progressively gets better and better, it’s so hard to top your latest work (quality-wise) but she keeps doing it with every other album.
She's not that one hit wonder 😔 I'm so sad that she's so underated 😭 She makes music for the soul. Please give her a chance, listen to her albums. She deserve so much.
One of the best songwriters in this generation (for me ✌️)
I really love her music. She was greatly misrepresented! Her music is fun ad great to listen to. I hope she gets the right management who will really support her .
I lover her music and I love how she merges the new with the old🥰🥰
Basically no artist is guaranteed commercial success that's just life. Some things just end up being more popular than others for whatever reason.
She’s making consistently great music. Who cares if she doesn’t make another monster hit. Her body of work is substantial and she will keep growing if she doesn’t succumb to the pressure of trying to repeal such a monster hit. She needs to work on a more impactful image. Her music is great.
1989 🤝 E•MO•TION
Ellie Goulding’s Delirium was the actual flop.
Speaking of which… can Carly and Tay make a collaboration album? Please???
Kiss is one of my favorite albums of all time bubblegum Pop Perfection
You should do Grace Vanderwaal, she also blew up and then became underrated
Grace is still really young probably still wants to study
In my social bubble she is more famous now than in 2012. The stuff of legend in the opinion of pretty much anyone I meet.
It's such a goddamn shame that her new stuff hasn't caught on, cause everything she's done for like the last five or six years has been incredible.
You totally skipped over Emotion: Side B!
That shows how poorly made this video is.
That album is so good, eventhought it was kinda leftover from E-motion..
Sir Snakespeare The thing about Carly is that even her “b-sides” are all single material.
@@chasegran1 yup
I'm pity for every person who didn't give a chance to know her music better after Call Me Maybe, cuz they're missing out
It’s hard for people to give someone a chance if they aren’t into the big hit. Call Me Maybe is by far her worst song. That doesn’t help. However she is super popular underground bc many did give her a chance
I feel like Carly Rae Jepsen is on the cusp of being a major name again. Her music seems to be aligning with pop artist right now like Dua Lipa or even some of the things Lady Gaga is experimenting with right now. Great Video !
making I Really Like You the lead of emotion was the biggest mistake they could make
this is 🛴🛴🛴 fault periodt
Scooter Braun. That's what happened to her
Scooter's fault of course, he invested all he had into Ari and JB
and one of them will probably flop (JB)
I’m glad. It means that Carly can focus on her art and not put out trash (like Jb does.)
To me Carly Rae is one of those artists who didn’t set out to be a pop star but had a surprise hit and after some financial success just did what they wanted. I don’t see anything wrong with that career path.
She's got so many good songs on her last two albums, it's just ridiculous! 😅 Run Away With Me, Your Type, Let's Get Lost, Favorite Color, Warm Blood, Gimmie Love, Making The Most Of The Nighy, Feels Right, Want You In My Room, Now That I Found You, Party For One, I'll Be Your Girl, Automatically In Love, Comeback, Solo, Fake Mona Lisa,... (probably forgot a lot!)
She's criminally underrated!
Nothing happened. She may not release a single as big as Call Me Maybe anymore but she's doing just fine. E.MO.TION was a cultural reset. Its Side B was also a masterpiece. Dedicated and its Side B were awesome too! Too bad the general audience slept on her after CMM. But now, she has a cult following. We will still be supporting her no matter what happens.
just like meghan trainor with all about that bass getting diamond certification
I've listened to alot of her later music, she is phenomenal! I remember when Call Me Maybe was everywhere and I wish people would take a listen to her new stuff. The music is amazing! Hopefully, if she keeps making good music and if the critics have anything to go by....I hope eventually gets some grammy recognition. She really has grown as an artist. Give her a listen!
EMOTION is one of my favourite albums of all time. It’s pure pop perfection!!!!!!
A video dissecting Rihanna's career would be great!
I think she does this intentionally. She said that she hated hearing her song everywhere and maybe thats why she tries to avoid getting high on the charts.
brah only if she released emotion & run away with me as a lead single… so sad cuz her all of her songs never misses.
Seen her in concert last year and let me tell of you that CONCERT WAS STANDING ROOM ONLY PACKED AS HELL SHE WAS AMAZING VOCALS WERE ON POINT AND SHE'S SOOO FRIENDLY SHE IS POP PERFECTION
I’ve been listening to her latest music and I’m in love with it. It’s an honest shame that no one pays as much attention to her anymore
her singles are still doing great in Japan... at least radio airplay charts
I'm so happy you make these videos!
she is the music industry periodt
Tug of war is an underatted album! "Wordly matters" and "Heavy lifting" are amazing songs!!!
I forgot about her right after "call me maybe" went down the charts and I appeared to listen to her again after 3 years when she dropped "EMOTION". it was a great body of work but I still wouldn't give her Grammy worthiness for the whole work tho cuz it lacks cohesiveness but individually, each track is amzing.
"EMOTION: Side B" is better than "EMOTION." Fite me.
@@IsomerMashups can’t. You’re correct
U missed emotion side B
*EMOTION* was basically was *folklore* & *Future Nostalgia* before they ever dropped. I say that bc *EMOTION* was originally titled *Eternal Summer* & was meant to be a indie-folk album this was later scrapped but sounds similiar in that sense to *folklore* which was released after. The sound of the final product is similar in the sense that *Future Nostalgia* is more throwback just like the project itself. So, I guess her music was just before its time, yet, those that came after did better.
I honestly think that Carly has a really strong future and she'll gain back her success over time.
she’s slaying and releasing amazing music that’s what’s happening with her music career
She almost sang “the middle” by zedd could’ve helped her get more Recognition 😭
I love her music. She has her own sound and her voice is amazing. And she releases B-sides, something pop artists don't do. She absolutely loves her fans and gives us so much material to listen to in-between albums.
I'm in love with every album she releases. She's making sure that she pursue the style she loves. ❤
That moment when her albums Emotion, Dedicated and Dedicated Side B are some of the best pop albums ever.
sadly i only knew call me maybe and i really like you, but last year i got into her music and i'm sooo glad i did. dedicated and emotion are perfect pop albums and it's sad to think most people would think of her as a one hit wonder. the only reason she doesn't succeed is her shitty management. she deserves a lot better.
Run away with me is the best pop song EVER
She may be a one hit wonder in the eyes of the world. But she never sold herself off to being that.
I actually got into her when EMOTION was released and I have been a fan of her ever since.
She reminds me of another Canadian band that never got airplay but sold millions of records and has a huge following worldwide Rush.
Run Away With Me not being the lead single to E•MO•TION was a true crime.
REQUEST: how Lana Del Rey made alternative music new pop
i liked this and subscribed before even watching. please do more carly! hehe
she doesn't really care about charts anymore. she's the queen of indid pop. she's doing her thing and her fans are loyal
She refused to tramp out, fake a depression, or do some desperate publicity act and instead focused on making actually good pop music. Emotion is still my jam.
Ahhh thank u so much for doing a video on her! Ur the BEST! Carly is literally one of my favourite artist! Her new album slaps big time in my opinion...
Her official best songs are these:
(Without specific order)
Cut to the Feeling
Run Away with Me
Gimme Love
First Time
This Love Isn't Crazy
Comeback
The whole Dedicated Side B
Happy Not Knowing
Want you in my Room
Making the most of the Night
I Really Like You
Your Tipe
Boy Problems
great video man. carly rae jepsen is one of my favorite artists and it was nice to see someone tell her story on this website. keep it up
Her "Runaway with Me" should be a big hit over the world, but it's so sad that the song is way too underrated
I really like you could’ve been a huge hit hasn’t it been for the stupid music video and little promotion
Teenage dream -future nostalgia - emotion The holy trio
I feel like pop music drastically changed around the time Carly released Emotion and that she is a relic of the fun early 2010 pop
I loved the Emotion album!
Runaway With Me is iconic tbh
Can you please do lil Nas X because I feel that he some how found a way to not let a massive single define his image. And I Would love to see that further explained.
How am I just not getting a notification for this!
I saw her in Paris this year and she was amazing
THE CONTENT I NEEDED! THANK YOU✨
I really don't understand music industry sometimes like i never really liked Call Me Maybe but Run away with me is God tier pop song. RUN AWAY WITH ME is perfect and call me maybe is meh! I love Carly so much
Thanks for uploading this, i had requested it some few months earlier 😊
I love Carly so much,she is one of my fav artist,she is talented and nice,deserves better.
Many artists have shows in the Philippines btw, there are so many Filipino Carly stans.
Emotion is still underrated -- literally the best pop album since Michael Jackson's work. Should have won a grammy.
Social media is the new medium for artists and how they can continue a career without the need for a big label pushing their content on listeners. I love Emotions and was shocked that it didn’t chart better, however, there are loads of fans who are dedicated to her music. You don’t need big wigs at record companies to help with your success. You can do it on your own.
Scooter Braun happened to her.
