“This life is not easy, I’m not made out of steel, don’t forget that I’m human, don’t forget that I’m real”. Those are lyrics sung by Justin Bieber on his recent album Purpose. We have seen many cases of celebrities taking their own lives and ended up dead dealing with their pain. But people still seem to forget that celebrities have feelings and see them as this higher power that has no problems in the world because they are rich and successful. Justin Bieber was pulled from his childhood and entered the spotlight at just the age of 14 and quickly became the biggest pop star of this generation. He is the perfect example of there’s only so much a person can take. Although I recognize that Justin Bieber should have anticipated the pitfalls of fame, I still insist that he wasn’t prepared considering the way he was brought into fame and he was deeply affected and influenced by it and rose up from it all. Not only was Bieber brought into the spotlight at a young age, he was brought into it in a new era, he was the first major pop star to be discovered on YouTube and then being …show more content…
He should’ve known it wasn’t going to be all good. Ty Burr, an author for Boston Globe challenged Bieber, “In 2014, he was the highest paid performer under 30 on the planet, making an estimated $80 million that year according to Forbes. You’re allowed to feel no pity whatsoever for him” (Burr). Bieber is one of the richest celebrities in the world and majorly successful. He doesn’t have any real-world problems, an average person has so much to worry about just to live a decent life. He shouldn’t care what people say about him, he could be doing so much more than just complain. “The pop star made no attempt to be anonymous, hopping on the bar to dance” (Burr). Bieber acts as if he doesn’t want to be seen or bothered, yet he’s out clubbing every night doing everything except not trying to be noticed by
Growing up I remember my mom turning the music up whenever she heard a good song. The only genre, she listened to was country so I grew up loving country music. I now turn the music up whenever I hear a song Luke Bryan wrote because his music is so good.

In the past Macklemore struggled to overcome a long battle with drugs that was seldom won (Levionson 4). It was fight that he chose even though he could’ve given up, but this part of his past with drug abuse helped him grow as a musician as well as a person.

Celebrity success is often idolized as a magic solution in which all of an individual’s problems will suddenly be erased and furthermore, the new on-brought attention will bring positive and lifting influence to the individual. Unfortunately, success is often not the solution.

There are many celebrities who are famous on the outside. Their songs and their appearance are some of the things the audience is entranced by. However, some celebs have a “calculating coldness” on the inside. One such celebrity is famous Canadian pop singer, Justin Bieber. Since Justin Bieber has been disrespecting the U.S, there is a controversy over whether he should be deported or not. Justin Bieber should be deported because he violates the law, sets a bad example and is really “not-talented”.
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.

People all around the world are influenced by popular musicians. These musicians have the ability to change opinions and lives through their music. Musicians can either have a positive or negative impact depending on how they act. Some of the most influential musicians are Canadian. There has been some controversy Canadian musicians have been involved in over the past few years, but it is clear to see that they realized what they have done wrong and have changed. Canadian musicians such as, Drake and Justin Bieber, have changed the way Canadians act through their attitude and therefore have changed how people in other countries view Canada. Drake’s love for Canada, more specifically, Toronto, is evident in his lyrics and his concerts. He has influenced other people to appreciate the city and be proud of where they are from. Although Canadian musicians have been involved in some controversy over the past few years, they continue to positively represent Canadian society through their lyrics, interviews, and their concerts.
According to an article published on CNN.com: In April of 2013, during a trip to Amsterdam, Justin Bieber received tons of criticism for writing, what was construed as, a self-centered and extremely vain comment in the guest book of Amsterdam’s Anne Frank House that read, ”Anne was a great girl. Hopefully she would have been a belieber" (Duke "Justin Bieber Hopes Anne Frank 'would Have Been a Belieber'"). People believed his comment was inappropriate in regards to a historical figure such as Anne Frank. Rather than deal with the issue head-on, Bieber posted shirtless photos of himself on the internet via Instagram, instead of an apology, in an attempt to distract from the relevant issue. This type of behavior is inexplicable for someone with such an abundance of talent that could be better served by setting a more respectable examp...

This is exactly what the media does to celebrities. Most celebrities that we have become to know have all changed in a lot of way from before they started their career and when they actually became famous. There are many artists, actors, musicians that were once people you would not even believe. A story that really inspires me is the musical journey of Stefani Germanotta. A small recording artist, not very well know, that is why I choose to discuss her because she has been through this with the media. She went to a small all girls catholic school in New York City. Paris Hilton was in her school. Look where she got, where did she go. She was made fun of everyday for her appearance. She was musically inclined to no extent, she had the talent. She knew how to play the piano by herself by the age of four years old (4).By 13 she wrote her first ballad; by 19 she was writing songs for the Pussycat Dolls and Britney Spears. Obviously she had the talent so when she went to go get a record deal, she went to...

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.
