History YMMV / DavidGuetta

* SeinfeldIsUnfunny: Guetta has not seen much American success since 2012 because his turn-of-the-decade style of EDM is now seen as out-of-date and rather poppy compared to the styles of other producers that tend to stay closer to the more experimental nature of Electro. Furthermore, the diversification of the American EDM market has given listeners more variety to choose from, making Guetta look rather quaint in comparison. It took up until 2023 with "[[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=90RLzVUuXe4 I'm Good]]" for him to finally gain American success together with Music/BebeRexha, playing on US radio stations 24/7.

* NeverLiveItDown: Ever since he forgot to turn on his equipment and improvised by pretending to DJ at Tomorrowland in 2012, this is how many will remember poor David. Even Tomorrowland itself refuses to let him live this down.

* HarsherInHindsight: His decision to use Sia's demo vocals for "Titanium". To say she didn't want the new attention she'd gotten so soon after her intended retirement from being a singer is an understatement. She later revealed that she was nearly DrivenToSuicide over it.

** The backing track to Flo Rida and Nicki Minaj's "Where Them Girls At?" sounds very similar to "Sexy Bitch", one of Guetta's other songs.

** The hook of Music/{{Usher}} & Ludacris' "Rest Of My Life" is similar to Afrojack's "Can't Stop Me".

* {{Mondegreen}}: ''Damn, you're a sexy fish!''

* AllStarCast: "One Love", which had Akon, Music/NeYo, Music/TheBlackEyedPeas, {{Music/LMFAO}} and Kelly Rowland. "One More Love" used those above but added {{Rihanna}} to that mix. "Nothing But The Beat" featured NickiMinaj (twice), Music/FloRida, Music/LilWayne, Music/ChrisBrown, Music/Ludacris, Music/{{Usher}}, Music/SnoopDogg, will.i.am, Jennifer Hudson and Music/JessieJ.

* LoveItOrHateIt: You can either like him for his highly danceable EarWorm-rific tunes, or despise him for being [[ItsPopularNowItSucks WAY too mainstream.]]
* SeinfeldIsUnfunny: Guetta has not seen much American success since 2012 because his turn-of-the-decade style of EDM was seen as out of date and rather poppy compared to the more hardcore stylings of Calvin Harris, Zedd, and Avicii.
* SignatureSong: "Love Is Gone" and "Titanium" are the best candidates, as in each case, the vocalist isn't famous enough to overshadow Guetta on the song. But once Music/{{Sia}} became more famous on her own the song became less associated with him and the former has now taken the lead.
