The base concept for this piece is Tyler at the studio trying to make a song, but he’s getting interrupted by mini Tylers with each being a different album identity
piece will likely take a week, but my guy always cooks. So it’ll be worth it
My friend said last night ”if this would’ve launched in the 2010s they could’ve done so many older names” and that got me thinking. If Festival released in 2018, who do you think the first 6 headliners would’ve been?
My guesses:
Season 1: Marshmello. Feel like he would be more of an obvious pick for Epic at that point, especially back then his career was on top of the world
Season 2: Justin Bieber. Had hit after hit, probably would’ve grabbed him just to appease the huge fan base he had then.
Season 3: Drake. For how big he still is, that man’s career was booming back then even more. They probably would’ve grabbed him over the Ninja stream alone
Season 4: Black Eyed Peas. These guys were making hit after hit in the 2010s, even with the girl not being apart of the group anymore, still feel like they would’ve grabbed the rights
Season 5: Pharrell Williams. Especially after his despicable Me songs, feel like Epic would’ve been very interested in him as a whole
Season 6: Juice Wrld. Loved the game and actively played it, on top of being very current back then and alive. Feel like Juice himself would’ve pushed for a season back then
Who do you think would’ve been the first headliners if the game released back then?
So I just saw the Jackson movie, it was peak and I highly recommend people going to see it. However it got me thinking, did people actually think MJ would be the headliner for S14?
like I always got somewhat people said it would be to advertise the film, but that always seemed like such a far fetch. Like I never saw Epic dishing out the extreme Money he would cost just to line up with a film. Thats not even talking about the questions about even IF the estate would allow him in, in the first place
this isn’t me saying he wouldn’t be a great headliner, he’s the most popular artist in history for a reason, but it never was really likely. We have ONLY gotten songs from the Jackson 5, which is different label, throughout any Harmonix rhythm game. Which heavily suggests that either the MJ label is either:
A- not willing to play ball at all
or
B- They’re asking for far too much
After S14 got revealed, I saw so many people saying “Why isn’t it Jackson?!” But imo he was never, and probably never will be, on the table. Despite how much I would personally love it
