History Trivia / CarlyRaeJepsen

--> "''Series/SesameStreet'', man. It doesn’t get any better than that!”

* CreatorBacklash: Sorta, she doesn't necessarily hate Call Me Maybe or the ''Kiss'' era, being quite happy to sing those songs (even using "Call Me Maybe" as a closing song for her concerts well into the ''Dedicated'' era), but she seems to be of the opinion that ''Kiss'' in general was something done solely to boost her image and get an album out to capitalize on her newfound fame, and that ''Emotion'' and its successor works are where she truly got to shine as an artist and singer.

* OneHitWonder: She is commonly called this; although she technically had two hits outside of Canada; the other hit, "Good Time," is a duet with Owl City, and it's he who gets first billing. "Call Me Maybe"'s view as a novelty song only makes things worse. She did attempt a CareerResurrection three years later with "I Really Like You" and "Run Away with Me", and while it was nowhere as big as "Call Me Maybe" or even "Good Time", it was quite successful, ''especially'' from a critical point of view.

** Half the songs on ''Emotion: Side B'' share names with KylieMinogue songs and albums, like "Fever", "Body Language" and "The One". It's unknown whether this was an intentional {{shout out}} or a case of [[ClicheStorm generic song titles]].

** ''Emotion'' may have not set the charts on fire in America, but it did considerably worse in her home country of Canada. It's shown in her tour schedule for the album, too: In early 2016, she came off a well received and fairly successful headlining American tour of indie clubs and theaters, and went straight into being the opening act for pop punk band Hedley on their tour of Canada.

* BigNameFan: Music/JustinBieber said on his Twitter that "Call Me Maybe" was his favorite song. Of course, this is exactly what brought the song to attention in the first place.

* ActorAllusion: In the "Your Type" video, the narrator refers to the plot as a 'Cinderella' story, a reference to her role as Cinderella in Broadway.

* NoBudget: "Cut To The Feeling"s music video was just Jepsen on a stage, and she couldn't even afford 4 minutes of that. Originally released as [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=3nBfKTXEof4 a 1:14 excerpt]], the video was later [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=o97_jDomyqc stretched out to full length]] using behind-the-scenes footage from a phone camera and [[LeaveTheCameraRunning a 30 second zoom into an empty stage]]. Compare the production values to this [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=3Mf6L-8iGIM Japanese makeup commercial featuring the song]].

* ColbertBump: The odds of a third-place runner-up on ''Series/AmericanIdol'' going to #1 on the Billboard Hot 100 are small enough, while the odds of a third-place runner-up on ''Canadian'' Idol going to #1 in the States are next to nothing... but that's exactly what happened with her and "Call Me Maybe" after Music/JustinBieber praised the song on {{Twitter}}, putting in motion what later became a huge musical and [[MemeticMutation memetic]] phenomenon. Still, no other Canadian Idol contestant has made any impact internationally.
