But I Really Feel Like It's Impossible To Know The Real Harry - Tumblr Posts

Wow you really just put into words how I'm feeling. I think the biggest reason I feel like Harry's team is failing is not commercially-- bc from a commercial standpoint he's skyrocketing. It's the fact that he basically has no personality anymore. He reminds me of this: 

It's like he's a racecar without a driver, just an empty shell with brand stickers all over the outside and someone in a tower is controlling the turns of the car, over and over again in circles while Harry is in the control room but without his hands on the controls, instead just giving suggestions. It feels like all we see of harry is this mannequin with brand stickers plastered all over him to the point that little of his real self shows through. In fact, whenever I watch videos of his concerts I'm always pleasantly surprised to find that he has a personality, as if i'm realizing it for the first time. 

Like you said, the fact that the same circle of people and brands keep revolving around him like he's dragging them on chains feels so off to me because it's not really who he his. His outfits, although fun, are getting predictable to the point where it almost feels like he's doing an impersonation of himself or dressing up in a costume of Harry Styles (tm). His social media posts are almost a parody of themselves ("GRAMMYS MARCH 2021" ?? ). And even when he speaks, it feels so distant and unrelatable because I almost can't believe it's really him.

His team is doing a fantastic job of promoting a BRAND. If Harry was a clothing line or a candle, it would be selling out like crazy and be on the front cover of Forbes. I get that celebrities have to have a brand, but at this point it feels like Harry has been reduced to nothing BUT a brand and I hate it.

I find it funny that nowadays your one of the few people who still think they do a shit job with Harry or don’t know how to handle him right. All I read are the same essays how perfect they are for him

They have never have been, they have big connections because Irving Azoff is a legend, so they get big gigs because of that and because Harry has a lot of star power and everyone wants him to do stuff. They are lucky he is on high demand and people want him because he is harry styles(tm) but at the same time they are incapable of get all these opportunity and use his potential in the right way. If he was an indie artist, he’d be ruined with a team like that to be honest. I think the interests here lie on how much Harry can make them earn with his famous persona, he is now the big name they can flaunt around the industry and that’s all they care about. He works with a too small group of people who are always the same and say the same things over and over again, no attention is placed on his persona ever, it’s always either gossip and stunts or associations with people who have the same team or no association at all. He doesn’t do anything mainstream because they want to show him as ‘too good for this and that’, he doesn’t wear any clothes that are not gucci because of this one deal (which considering how handsome he is and how much people want to work with him, its kinda stupid he’s that tied to one brand at this point of his career but alas), he doesn’t collaborate with other artists that are not lizzo or stevie nicks ( i mean, great names but....we got it the first 20 times, thanks) his social media presence does not exist and when it does is super fake (except for a few glimpse of real harry here and there, see the 1D anniversary post). Probably the act like this so they have more control on him, or because they can’t do better than this or they don’t care as long as he earns money and power for them and their firm, i am not sure. They turned him into this walking advertisement for anyone but himself and everything he does is just publicity for this and that but never himself  and his art (see the grammys, where everyone and their dogs posted about it BUT him basically) and i get this is show business and everyone is an advertisement but it comes to a point when there HAS to be more than that on the table. I did read an interesting post a few years ago, saying his team does this with all the artists and especially harry (which is one of the 3 that actively works in their roster) because the deeper the connection is, the harder it is for him to leave cause he’d find himself ‘alone’ if everyone he had ever worked with is connected to his ‘old’ team. Someone as dynamic and eclectic as Harry is kind of wasted with these limited options his team offers, in my opinion and having a Vogue cover and a Grammy is good but it is not enough in 2021 especially if these amazing gigs are followed by shitty stunts and poor actions that reflects bad on him and his persona all the time. He describes himself as someone that never stays put, that always likes to venture into new fields and try new things and experiment with new stuff so I find it hard to believe he only wants to work with James Corden, Ben Winston and Gucci over and over again, something doesn’t add up here. Another bad thing that makes me fuming is that they want to make him an ‘American’ star so bad they forget harry is not even American. Bottom line is that he has a lot of opportunities and stuff thanks to his multiple talents and it’s infuriating to see it wasted because his team doesn’t know how to handle them and always turns them into sloppy jobs and bad stunts.
