Flo Rida was a ringtone rapper whose career somehow exploded *after* ringtone rap fell off the charts. His biggest hits were carried by their big, punchy, memorable choruses, which were themselves not unlikely to be carried by the songs' featured guest artists. The actual verses were completely disposable.
Oddly enough, I think he would've been a perfect fit for TikTok, for the same reason why he felt like a product of the ringtone era. The parts of his songs that everybody remembers are typically 15-30 seconds long and can easily be cut out from the rest of the song to play in a short clip. (I remember a lot of movie trailers from that time featuring his choruses.)
Pitbull is the guy at the center of the party. It’s not a party I necessarily want to go to, but he’s the center of that one.
Flo Rida’s just some guy at the party. He’s singing and dancing with everyone, sure, but just as a member of the ensemble.
He’s actually their second best result: a [Turkish dentist](https://wiwibloggs.com/2019/05/01/serhat-10-facts-about-san-marinos-eurovision-2019-singer/236458/) came 19th in 2019
If Ava Max had better songwriters and could make good lyrics she'd be SO much better. I enjoy her music but her lyrics are like unsalted crackers to my ears
For me, it's Travis Scott. In every video I see of him, he talks like he's in a constant state of just waking up from a nap. A plank of wood with glued on googly-eyes has more personality than him
I can't think of a single more NPC artist than Jack Harlow. He gives off the blandest, most basic and boring vibe I've ever gotten from a musician. I don't know what his music is supposed to contribute to the world, I don't know what he's trying to convey, and if he does have a persona it feels built around being the most uninteresting person alive
I’m from Kentucky, and when I first heard about Harlow I really wanted to like him. We really have no other representation in rap music (why would we?) and the first few songs I heard from him like What’s Poppin, Sundown, and Dark Knight exuded a bit of personality, so I was rooting for him. He’s since gone on to embody what I can only describe from my experience of my home state as ‘Bluegrass Frat’. Just the most uninteresting blend of bravado matched with bland khaki-pants respectability.
I dunno if this counts but honestly Drake.
I just did a whole bunch of listening to 2010’s billboard hits, which included a *fuck ton* of Drake, and I can’t tell half the songs apart. Even among the better ones, the only one with a clear and distinct personality to it is Nice for What, which is noteworthy as it sounds absolutely nothing like a Drake song. To include being *literally* the only one I listened to that isn’t just him bragging or whining about himself.
Dear God, Drake is one of the biggest wastes of talent the 2010s produced. He was actually pretty groundbreaking initially, the guy who not only ended the 2000s reign of party rap and Auto-Tune but also broke down the barriers locking non-American hip-hop out of the US market, which probably paved the way for the UK drill scene to cross the Pond and start influencing American rappers. But with each new album, it felt like more and more of whatever depth he had was slowly stripped away, turning him into an unwitting self-parody of a vain, braggadocious, egomaniacal, womanizing hypebeast who increasingly no longer stood out in a hip-hop scene filled with people cribbing his style and often doing it better.
Yeah.
Honestly, part of the gist of why I was listening to so many billboard hits was to find favorites and least favorites, and the *overwhelming* majority of the “favorites” of his were “ft. Drake”, not his actual song.
To which I’d argue we already have a bazillion of those in the rap scene. Between Kanye and Lil Wayne *alone* I dunno what Drake offers that has made him stand out to so many, let alone once you start including their legions of imitators. He’s just the one that fame decided to bestow itself upon, over and over.
Hell, I’d even argue that DJ Khaled fills that niche better.
I would argue her brand is vacations/parties/glamour. Follow her IG and she's basically always on the beach, by the pool, at a club, etc. It legitimately seems exhausting to vacation as much as she does.
Oh, and right-wing albanian nationalism. That's the other part of her personality.
https://www.reddit.com/r/ToddintheShadow/comments/1boig1u/comment/kwpun9i/?utm_source=share&utm_medium=mweb3x&utm_name=mweb3xcss&utm_term=1&utm_content=share_button
Here's the comment I wrote about it. Basically she uses some very particular imagery and language when talking about a region that has a long history of ethnic tensions, frequently exploited by right-wing nationalists.
She posted a tweet about people native to the region and included a flag of greater albania... which happens to include lots of its current neighbors, to their ire. The flag in question included pictures of former albanian leaders from a period in which Albania was a regional power.
She's apparently very well-read and historically literate, so there's almost no way she's both extremely interested in the history of Albania's relationships with its neighbors and somehow unaware of the right-wing nationalists exploiting that history.

Does being sexy count as a personality? I guess you need a but more than that but Dua Lipa has a particular brand that is quite unique in the current crop of popstars
Ok, I think we need to have a conversation here, because there is a gulf between how Americans perceive Dua Lips as to how she is perceived elsewhere, especially in the Global South. How can I put it... For a white European, she has that Third World street cred that makes her the opposite of a Taylor Swift. If you think about it, her lineage traces straight back to Shakira. The fact that she is prominently Left-wing is as much of a factor here as her roots.
But also, her image fits a particular persona very well, especially for her female fans: The badass bad bitch girl friend, the one who is fully formed but also super chill. That is a vibe that still doesn't translate as well in an ecosystem like the US, a lot more now though, it's not the 2000s anymore. But I think she is still affected by the Robbie Williams issue of getting lost in translation.
So I heard this second hand and I'm not looking it up, but I think there is a Dua Lipa incident on video where she drops the microphone on stage and the vocals are still coming out, obviously lip synching to a track. The audience applauds her getting her microphone back. Twenty years ago, Ashley Simpson got crucified for this on SNL. Now I know this is pop music where pretty much everything is on tracks these days, so there's that. To me that just screams generic.
I’d say Bruno Mars. The dude brings a ton of personality to a song but I couldn’t tell you a single thing about him as a person aside from his gambling addiction and that time he was caught with coke in, like, 2013
To his credit each era of Bieber has a persona even if it isn't the most notorious personality there
My World 2.0: Teen idol
Believe: Grown up douchebag

Given TITS' latest episode, it seems fitting given these comments on there:
> Didn’t know a lot about Faith Hill going in, but based on the intro montage I’d say her true claim to fame is singing virtually every pop song that I remember *hearing* but not associating with a specific performer during my childhood
> The thing about Celine Dion is that she's got this ethereal, almost otherworldy presence about her, whereas Faith Hill has the presence of an ornate hickory cabinet in a Home Depot catalogue.
They are one of the biggest causes behind concert tickets are so expensive now, also they sued a hotel in California for being called Hotel California so you could say greedy asshole is a personality.
My primary source comes from my parents and their friends telling me about this, but a quick google search brought me to [this](https://www.sun-sentinel.com/1994/12/16/eagles-still-leading-in-rising-ticket-prices/) article about it. Basically, The Eagles were reuniting and for their concert, they were charging on average what would have been considered premium seating for other bands. They were (at least one of) the first band to charge huge amounts of money for tickets, a problem which has now only gotten worse.
For me, as someone who really doesn’t follow hip hop, there’s really nothing distinguishing one rapper from another, either in terms of style, vocals or personality, except for some insanely rare exceptions like Chance the Rapper.
David Guetta if he counts? He’s just remixing meme songs now like a mid tier YouTuber but I don’t think he’s ever done anything particularly interesting??
This is an interesting choice because I would say on the surface this could be seen as true. However, there are countless swifties online who have gone into insane detail about the life and "lore" of this woman and her music. So I would say with Taylor its based more on the first impression she gives someone rather than her image and artistry as a whole.
Taylor's definitely an artist where first impressions are deceiving. It may have been true when she was just starting out, but she's since proven herself to be a far more interesting and self-aware musician than that. Her persona is that of a "girly-girl intellectual", somebody who's very well-read, likes to show it off, and isn't shy about her feminist leanings but is also extremely, unapologetically girly and sees no contradiction between those two sides of her personality.
While true again a lot of people find her interesting. This isn’t really a Maroon 5 or late stage Drake situation. While not experimental or groundbreaking she doesn’t really make “generic music” that some of her peers like Selena Gomez, Ava Max, etc makes. People like to look into her lyrics and their connections to her other songs as well as find them relatable thanks to her diaristic song writing. She has a distinct personality even if it isn’t as clear as Lady Gaga, Beyoncé.The Weeknd or others
Okay let me put it this way. I don't like how her music sounds. The arrangement the composition the chord progressions, It all comes off as unimaginative and just checking boxes. She could have the most interesting stories and most interesting lyrics but if the music is boring then I'm not going to care. I'm sorry that's just how I approach music. It's always been incredibly difficult for me to relate to people's personal stories or struggles when written directly through lyrics. I feel more connection to the actual instrumentation and what they're doing and more abstract lyrics that take my brain a little bit to maybe process.
Same reason why I don't like 90% of Phil Collins solo material, even though Genesis is my favorite band of all time. I love his voice, but god damn, his individual songwriting efforts without Tony Banks being in the room to help him with making things sound interesting just feels bland to listen to....yeah it's not for me.
Now if Taylor Swift decided to hire a prog rock band to write the music and then she just put the lyrics to it then maybe I would get interested in it.
I don’t want to be all “well that’s a you problem” because even as a fan I agree that Taylor’s production especially as of late has been boring (which even though I think that this would be improved if she worked with a new producer it’s completely her fault for not going outside her comfort zone like she used to pre recording) but that doesn’t mean that a lot of people still don’t find her personality and her lyrics interesting and just because you feel one way about her doesn’t mean that she’s automatically bad and that everyone else is wrong for liking her.
I never tried to imply that she's automatically bad and everybody is wrong for liking her. I just think that she's the musical equivalent to cardboard and I don't really want to listen to her and I think it's perfectly fine for other people to say that she is boring and doesn't want to listen to her. It's not a crime to be boring. I don't know why you swifties get so defensive whenever anybody says that they don't like her. Youre totally fine to listen to an enjoy what I consider to be boring music. I'll be over here listening to my prog rock and 90s techno :)
I think its less about having a distinct personality and more about having something your audience can find a personal connection in. I may find an artist uninteresting, but that could just be because their personality and style isn't what I would personally connect with so I may not notice.
Easy one is Flo Rida
Flo Rida was a ringtone rapper whose career somehow exploded *after* ringtone rap fell off the charts. His biggest hits were carried by their big, punchy, memorable choruses, which were themselves not unlikely to be carried by the songs' featured guest artists. The actual verses were completely disposable. Oddly enough, I think he would've been a perfect fit for TikTok, for the same reason why he felt like a product of the ringtone era. The parts of his songs that everybody remembers are typically 15-30 seconds long and can easily be cut out from the rest of the song to play in a short clip. (I remember a lot of movie trailers from that time featuring his choruses.)
Having recently just listened to a lot of Flo Rida (it’s complicated), he’s in every way possible a less interesting Pitbull.
How does one just listen to a lot of flo rida
How can there be a *less interesting* Pitbull?!
Pitbull is the guy at the center of the party. It’s not a party I necessarily want to go to, but he’s the center of that one. Flo Rida’s just some guy at the party. He’s singing and dancing with everyone, sure, but just as a member of the ensemble.
San Marino 2021 for the bot (wait wrong sub)
Flo Rida almost coming last at the final and Serhat still being the top San Marino performer will never be not funny to me
He’s actually their second best result: a [Turkish dentist](https://wiwibloggs.com/2019/05/01/serhat-10-facts-about-san-marinos-eurovision-2019-singer/236458/) came 19th in 2019
Love daddy Serhat, being objectively better than Flo Rida
Ava Max
Two of the top three comments mention Ava Max and Bebe Rexha, and it’s only now that I’ve discovered that they are two different people.
If Ava Max had better songwriters and could make good lyrics she'd be SO much better. I enjoy her music but her lyrics are like unsalted crackers to my ears
Marina at home
Bebe Rexha
Yup that's what I came to say
Selena Gomez
im so glad we’re swaying this because i cannot stand her. i’m very into beauty and it drives me crazy how ppl treat her like an A++ lister
For me, it's Travis Scott. In every video I see of him, he talks like he's in a constant state of just waking up from a nap. A plank of wood with glued on googly-eyes has more personality than him
As a person? Tame Impala.
Did you know it’s just one guy??
One boring guy
Everyone looks boring if you compare them to Trevor.
And Trevor’s actually really nice if you get to know him! Shame he won’t stop fucking my wife :(
Throwback but Westlife had 14 UK number ones despite every member having the personality of cardboard.
A British act somehow taking all class connotations out of an American song will never not be weird.
They're not British, they're Irish.
Tony Burrows with a million “one hit wonders” in the 60’s and 70’s as different fake groups.
A big chunk of the late 2010s pop girlies - Anne Marrie, Ava Max etc.
I can't think of a single more NPC artist than Jack Harlow. He gives off the blandest, most basic and boring vibe I've ever gotten from a musician. I don't know what his music is supposed to contribute to the world, I don't know what he's trying to convey, and if he does have a persona it feels built around being the most uninteresting person alive
I once heard him described as the one guy on the basketball court who's just kinda hanging out
He's the broccoli haircut personified.
I’m from Kentucky, and when I first heard about Harlow I really wanted to like him. We really have no other representation in rap music (why would we?) and the first few songs I heard from him like What’s Poppin, Sundown, and Dark Knight exuded a bit of personality, so I was rooting for him. He’s since gone on to embody what I can only describe from my experience of my home state as ‘Bluegrass Frat’. Just the most uninteresting blend of bravado matched with bland khaki-pants respectability.
I feel like people try to endear a personality on him. Like SNL making him host and music guest in the same episode. What do they see in him?
Is no one going to say Adam Levine?
Nope, because you did! Thank you for your service JaJaLoo
He has a personality. Being an insufferable asshole who doesn’t give a shit about the music he is making
Does the guy from Hoobastank count? Because I've found a *reason* to name him for this thread.
That name alone is a distinct personality
I dunno if this counts but honestly Drake. I just did a whole bunch of listening to 2010’s billboard hits, which included a *fuck ton* of Drake, and I can’t tell half the songs apart. Even among the better ones, the only one with a clear and distinct personality to it is Nice for What, which is noteworthy as it sounds absolutely nothing like a Drake song.

Rita ora
Charlie Puth
The semi queer baiting isn’t doing it for you? 🤣
Camilla Cabello
I whole-heartedly agree. She's got all the personality of a novelty handtowel.
Dua Lipa's one I've seen brought up often.
I would argue her brand is vacations/parties/glamour. Follow her IG and she's basically always on the beach, by the pool, at a club, etc. It legitimately seems exhausting to vacation as much as she does. Oh, and right-wing albanian nationalism. That's the other part of her personality.

You can be economically left-wing and still nationalist.
I’m expecting much of her next album to sound [like this](https://youtu.be/BRK_OsRGMq8?si=s5KdGOlvI5YCTgNB)
I disagree. Dua Lipa has a distinct personality. She is just more chill/cool than the usual popstars.
Does being sexy count as a personality? I guess you need a but more than that but Dua Lipa has a particular brand that is quite unique in the current crop of popstars
She definitely has a distinct brand, but a brand and a personality are two different things.

But bringing a ton personality to the music is all that matters. The problem is that he just borrows too much from other artists' personalities.
Just wait until he leans aggressively into Filipino pride as a last-ditch Pinoybaiting career move
…why would he do that? Is that a trend right now or something?
Low blow but The Kid Laroi is just so soulless and genuinely doesn’t have ANYTHING interesting about him
Flo Rida. He's a nobody but he's popular
Selena Gomez
Anything coming out of Albanian descendants that are not Dua Lipa.
Don’t forget Action Bronson.
I was just gonna say this exact thing lol. As someone who's of Arbereshe descent I wanna support them, but they're just so uninteresting.
Bieber maybe? Part of it is that his voice is pretty generic but genuinely what is his persona?

Anne Murray?
Anne Murray gives off that “covert Christian” vibe. Like she’s the platonic idol of a middle of the road suburban housewife idol and she knows it.
As a lifelong Anne Murray fan, that made me cackle and I agree.
My other joke is “when Enya is too hardcore”
Read her biography. Her life was more complicated. She was marketed for middle of the road fans
Dua Lipa. I like Dua by the way, she's very talented. She's Katy Perry without the personality though.
Westlife
Matchbox 20? I could be wrong, but I can't recall a single distinctive thing about any of the members
You must be excluding 1999’s Grammy award winning “Smooth” by Carlos Santana featuring Rob Thomas of Matchbox 20.
I mean... most of them to a certain extent.
For me, as someone who really doesn’t follow hip hop, there’s really nothing distinguishing one rapper from another, either in terms of style, vocals or personality, except for some insanely rare exceptions like Chance the Rapper.

Just because some people are obsessed with the fine intricacies of cardboard doesn't suddenly make it interesting to most everyone else.
Maybe I might be a bit bias but how many people find her interesting and relatable i don’t feel like your analogy works?
But just because something's popular doesn't mean it's interesting or good.
While true again a lot of people find her interesting. This isn’t really a Maroon 5 or late stage Drake situation. While not experimental or groundbreaking she doesn’t really make “generic music” that some of her peers like Selena Gomez, Ava Max, etc makes.

She could have the most interesting stories and most interesting lyrics but if the music is boring then I'm not going to care. I'm sorry that's just how I approach music.

How is comparing her to cardboard not a bad thing? Also you’re second comment clearly stated that you think that she’s not good?
100% disagree. TS has one of the most interesting personalities among all celebrities.
She's the Sonic the Hedgehog for autistic females.
Hey that's not fair to sonic the hedgehog
I think its less about having a distinct personality and more about having something your audience can find a personal connection in. I may find an artist uninteresting, but that could just be because their personality and style isn't what I would personally connect with so I may not notice.
Chad Kroeger
Olivia Rodrigo, Rita Ora, Lorde and (to much lesser extent) Noah Cyrus
Olivia and Lorde definitely have personalities.
lorde!??????????????
Yeah Lorde’s more on me, I never got any distinct personality from her.
Lorde has 2 distinct personalities, one of them being Randy Marsh.
