Justin Bieber, as you all know, started off as an International pop sensation. Unfortunately, everyones image changes...Some for better, some for the worst. He started out being very credible (which means to be able to be trusted) and loved by the Nation, then as the years went by and he aged, his credibility lowered and his fans lessened, last but not least, his credibility today is at the point it is at because of the choices he made.
Fame is something not known by most people. However, Justin Bieber was lucky enough to have been found for it. As most of you probably know, he started out as an internet sensation. It was just simply a video of him singing. But he was and still is indeed a very talented singer in my opinion. That is all it took though, a couple videos of him seeing to get signed by Scooter Braun. Braun is also signed Usher. It was just 2006, and he was only 12 when he began. To the World he seemed like an innocent boy who just had a big voice. Well, they were right for a while. He went on his first tour in 2010 and every arena was filled with tons of his fans. He even had a movie made about his life up until that point. It showed everything he went through as a child and how he worked his way to the top. No one had any reason not to think he was credible because he hadn’t done anything wrong. I would say that Justin Bieber’s credibility came from him starting at such young age and being so famous and he had never done anything wrong (Wang).
Justin Bieber officially “fell from grace” just this year, 2014. His outbursts and un-credible independence started last year though. He began getting tattoos and piercings, sagging his pants, and had been reported to have been spitting on his fans. Which I know, it is stereo...
... middle of paper ...
...e if I was to do something drasticly that would make me un credible. I wouldn’t be trusted or believe by really anyone ever because my past always seems to follow me.

Elvis was born to Gladys and Vernon Presley, a farming family in Mississippi, on January 8, 1935. Originally Elvis Aron Presley was a twin, however, his brother Jesse died after birth (Austin 1994). A close knit family, Elvis and his family attended the Assembly of God Church where his love of music started to blossom (EPE 2014). Growing up his family had many financial struggles. Despite this, at age eleven, Elvis received his first instrument, a guitar. Shortly after, Vernon Presley struggled to hold down a job in Mississippi.

Unfortunately, to much of the public, Elvis is more icon than artist. Innumerable bad Hollywood movies, increasingly caricatured records and mannerisms, and a personal life that became steadily more sheltered from real-world concerns (and steadily more bizarre) gave his story a somewhat mythic status. By the time of his death, he'd become more a symbol of gross Americana than of cultural innovation. The continued speculation about his incredible career has sustained interest in his life, and supported a large tourist/entertainment industry, that may last indefinitely, even if the fascination is fueled more by his celebrity than his music.
Michael Jackson wowed the world with his remarkable natural voice and dance moves that led him to make the most touching and relatable songs. Michael began singing with his four other brothers in the band the Jackson 5. At a young age,“ his voice worked beyond conventional notions of male-soul vocals – even beyond gender. He was the most advanced popular singer of his age in the history of recorded music. His untrained tenor was uncanny” (Mich...
Michael Jackson, king of pop was an American singer, songwriter, dancer and record producer. His contribution to the music, dance and fashion industry was immense and he was a global figure so many people around the world. Michael Jackson was born on August 29, 1958 as an eight child of an African American family living in a small house in Gary, Indiana. He faced many hardships during his child such as being abused as a child, as his father confessed to being abusive towards him “ 'I don 't [regret the beatings], ' he said. 'It kept them out of jail and kept them right.”. This actually played a big role in his success.
The star text of a celebrity can help to decipher their image and transitions they may undergo. In order to better understand these transitions, one must know the definition of a star text. A star text is the sum of everything we affiliate with celebrities, which includes their body of work, promotion, publicity, and audience participation (Jackson, 08/09/16). One must note that “celebrity doesn 't happen because someone has extraordinary qualities – it is discursively constructed by the way in which the person is publicised and meanings about them circulate” (O 'Shaughnessy and Stadler 424). Destiny Hope Cyrus, “an American singer and actress, became a sensation in the television series
Michael Jackson was a very charismatic, influential individual. He took the world by surprise as his long, successful career blossomed at such a young age. Throughout his many years of hard work, and unparalleled performances, he changed the world with his music. He became one of the most popular recording artists, delivering his sweet, funky tones, smooth dance moves, and versatile music capabilities across the world. He was a legend that continues to influence other musicians, as well as his large, loyal fan-base, and is well-deserving of the title of “The King of Pop”
are still people who listen to his music toiday, and there are even some people who question his
Introduction: Perhaps no one has received this title in history “the king of pop”, now a days many artist’s have arisen and have performed but not as the king of pop known worldwide and in history, has dominated the world of pop as Michael Jackson.
Imagine at the age of eight you are the lead singer of one of the most popular bands at the time with multiple songs reaching number one and produces incredibly popular albums, and at the age of around twelve you start a solo career, ("Jackson 5"). Michael Jackson's life was just that, including many multi-million selling songs across two music groups the Jackson 5 at the age eight and going solo at the age of twelve and having many adoring fans it contributed to Jackson being the best pop singer of all time. Although there were rape allegations which people suggest that Michael Jackson should be stripped of his title of the "King of Pop". Michael Jackson even with the faulty allegations, the popularity
First taking to the stage at the age of just 11 as part of his family's gig The Jackson 5, Michael Jackson grew quickly into the superstardom, which would both reward and plague his life. An apparently unstoppable creative and financial force through the highs of his career, 'The King of Pop' struggled with a confused and turbulent private life that was often made appalling public. In the wake of his shock death though, it is for his artistry - and not his controversies - that he will be remembered and sadly missed.
Yet, recently, Taylor Swift has embraced what people have said about her. In her most recent album, 1989, Swift has taken a different approach than she did in her earlier years.
When Brittany Murphy died, when Lindsay Lohan was jailed, when Britney Spears shaved off her hair, the question was asked – what have we done to these kids? We all love rags to riches stories, but it seems that the people are almost as fond of riches to rags – or let’s say, stardom to failure. What happens when a successful young performer becomes a has-been star? The high-profile troubles of celebs like Michael Jackson and Gary Coleman reinforces the truth that nearly every kid who has worked in the entertainment industry has struggled as an adult. Although some may argue that several child stars have gone on to have stable and successful careers as adults, our contention here is that a lot of celebrities who were exposed to the limelight at a young age become scarred for life by their early success and fame and tend to compensate for the childhood they were deprived of during their later years in life.
