Privacy? – Debate

Posted by —

We probably all read gossip about different artists? Well I catch myself doing it sometimes, and what I often read about is how the celebrities and musicians are being stalked and mobbed by fans and paparazzi’s everywhere they go.

- Not my picture

Hmm..

My opinion? – I think it’s awful. Just because you start getting noticed in the business doesn’t mean the wish of having some privacy isn’t there. I can imagine what it must be like having strangers walking after you even when you’re shopping, telling you how important you are to them.

But what about the privacy? What happened to the days where the famous people could walk down the street without being almost knocked over by their fans? I know it’s not like that everywhere, and that some artists do have a lot of privacy and fans who respect their needs.

But some don’t.

An example? We’ve probably all heard about the new british boy band One Direction, who currently are touring the US. I think the guys are cool, really I do. – But seeing clips on youtube of them getting mobbed EVERYWHERE makes me sad.

No one, regardless of how famous they are, should feel like they’re working all the time. Some say that “being famous is a full time job”. Oh well, what happened to “a day off”?

Everyone needs at least one day off, and I can imagine how annoying it must be even on your day off, that you’re being followed everywhere you go, and that security is needed 24/7.

I think genuine respect is needed, the artist is def. respecting the fans. Now I think it’s time for the fans to give back a little, to let the musicians write “I’m taking a trip to Hawaii for a holiday” or whatever, and then give them the time off.

It must be hard to stay creative if no one is giving you the room to think.

And yes, I know there are respective fans and “good paparazzi’s” everywhere across the globe. I’m one of the respectful fans as well. It’s just sad that the people who’re more interesting in getting a picture with the musician than caring about the person behind the fame is getting way to much attention by the press.

I just know that if I ever saw a musician getting mobbed on my watch, I would tell people to back off, give them some space. They’re humans too, with feelings. Just saying.

- Is it just me thinking like this? Am I the only one who thinks musicians and performers deserves more privacy and the chance to walk about without being mobbed?

 

What is your opinion ?? :)

“Everything You Didn’t do”

Jamie Cullum & friends :) X Sublime !

& my danish review for the ones who’re interested :-)
Den britiske jazzmusiker og singer- songwriter Jamie Cullum (født 20. August 1979) har i samarbejde med musikerne Nita de Fuel Fandango, Frank T og Carlos Sadness lavet et fedt playfuldt nummer “Everything You Didn’t Do/ IacancióndeSanMiguel”.
To kulturer og to sprog mødes i et originalt og lækkert rytmisk nummer.

Samarbejded beskrives således:”The aim of this collaborative project is to prove that boundaries do not exist, and that there are more things bringing us together than separating us. Jazz, flamenco, rap… Different styles shake hands on the new San Miguel Spot’s main theme for this summer 2012, the song from the Citizens of a place called World. Year II”

Det betyder altså at fællesskabsfølelsen i musikken er det altafgørende, og at vi som mennesker kan alt, så længe vi har musikken. Jeg synes det er et smukt budskab, som til udtryk i både videoen og i musikken. Andet har jeg ikke at sige om nummeret, da det taler for sig selv – Sublimt, og helt klart et nummer som jeg vil lytte til sommeren over.

Goodmorning everyone :)

I thought it was time for a blogpost. Sorry I haven’t posted anything in a long time, but lately there’s been so much on my mind.

Now it’s time to prepare for the exams, which I’m really excited about. I only have one real exam left, the two others is just a “year test”. I’m really excited to focus on my religion exam, I find the different religions quite interesting.

Otherwise the next month is going to be full of music arrangements, which I’m really looking forward to. I hope to start sewing again as well, since that too has been on hold for a while.

I will be going to two gigs next month, Lukas Graham and Passenger. It’s going to be really great, and I am looking much forward to writing gig reviews again, and this time I’m going to post my reviews on the blog as well :)

Hope you all are doing well, I’m looking forward to be more active on my blog x
