February 18, 20187 yr just like the Madonna/Britney another collaboration that looked incredible on paper but was a total mess was Shakira/Rihanna which was due to the song being terrible too
March 24, 20187 yr Author Calvin Harris feat. Dua Lipa Jax Jones and Jess Glynne Bieber and Camila Drake and Ed Avicii and Sia This is coming in a couple of weeks so we shall see :magic:
March 24, 20187 yr The ones that explode are usually unexpected and the ones you think will be massive often aren’t that big: Robbie and Kylie Gary and Robbie Coldplay and Rihanna Gaga and Beyonce Madonna and Britney All reasonaby decent hits but I don’t think reach expectations or exploded. Telephone was huge? :lol:
March 24, 20187 yr I think Whitney and George Michael's duet in 2000 was hyped up as a potential No.1 too. I remember thinking it would be and the Woolies chart had it at No.1, and then it landed at No.9 and disappeared quickly. The track wasn't really up there with either artist's best and I suppose a duet between those two would have been bigger paydirt a decade earlier, but still, it was a surprise to see two legends finally team up and then tank like that.
March 24, 20187 yr I do feel like with a lot of those big name collaborations, they have the potential to come up with something amazing but just spit out any substandard rubbish they can get their hands on as they're sure it'll sell on name power alone.
March 25, 20187 yr Reading through this thread makes me feel rather depressed about how the current state of the music scene is. :( It was good when Bob the Builder and Richard Blackwood were a thing :P General observation: Big stars don't put out their best efforts on features. For example all best Bieber songs are the ones that he's solo or featured with a "faceless" act. Not the ones with big stars (and man he's done a huge amount of features) Edited March 25, 20187 yr by SKOB
March 25, 20187 yr I really hope Clean Bandit don't go anywhere near Ed Sheeran. Or San Smith. They need to release their Jess Glynne collaboration next to give them another number one to lead the album with.
March 25, 20187 yr Any combination of ALMA, Bebe Rexha, Clean Bandit, Charli XCX, Dua Lipa, Jess Glynne, Marina and the Diamonds, MO, Rita Ora, Tove Lo, and Zara Larsson.
March 25, 20187 yr Clean Bandit x Ed Sheeran is probably not too far-fetched :kink: As much as I dreaded this collaboration occur in real life, I think it might happen sometimes because this collaboration are most likely been expected from GP and of course they're on the same label group (Warner). Same thing can apply to Dua Lipa, Rita Ora and even Charli XCX for the same label sake.
March 25, 20187 yr Author Any combination of ALMA, Bebe Rexha, Clean Bandit, Charli XCX, Dua Lipa, Jess Glynne, Marina and the Diamonds, MO, Rita Ora, Tove Lo, and Zara Larsson. Well... some of these have already happened Charli XCX ft. Tove Lo & ALMA Clean Bandit ft. Zara Larsson Charli XCX & Rita Ora Charli XCX ft. MØ Off the top of my head :P
March 25, 20187 yr Well... some of these have already happened Charli XCX ft. Tove Lo & ALMA Clean Bandit ft. Zara Larsson Charli XCX & Rita Ora Charli XCX ft. MØ Off the top of my head :P And perhaps most notably, Clean Bandit and Jess Glynne twice :kink: (plus Clean Bandit and Marina but we know how that went)
March 28, 20187 yr Well... some of these have already happened Charli XCX ft. Tove Lo & ALMA Clean Bandit ft. Zara Larsson Charli XCX & Rita Ora Charli XCX ft. MØ Off the top of my head :P Of course I know these collaboration (and Clean Bandit x Jess Glynne/Clean Bandit x Marina) already happened in the past few years. I mean it could be something like Clean Bandit x Charli XCX Jess Glynne x Marina ALMA x MO x Zara Larsson x Tove Lo Bebe Rexha x Dua Lipa x Rita Ora :kink: Okay these might be the most random collaboration but whatever.

March 28, 20187 yr Big collaborations are quite often a letdown really. Britney/Madonna, Beyoncé/Shakira, Shakira/Rihanna, Girls Aloud/Sugababes. Most of the time it's about the acts wanting to keep the biggest hits for solo purposes, so the collaborations end up with average songs. Telephone was fabulous of course.
