So my Jason and I got into a heated discussion about the influence Hollywood or the entertainment industry period has on people. Not just regular people like us, but even over fav. celebs! I recaped all my fav. female musical artists who have come in the came and kept that REALNESS about themselves. For instance Mary J Blige. I give her mad props! To me Mary is as real as they come in every way. Yes she's enhanced herself, because that's just what you do when your in the "game", but you don't LOSE yourself like half of these people end up doing. Mary's music still has that solid Mary signature sound tho she may throw in a few curve ball sounds and melodies. Yea she switches up on her hair and style, but it isn't far out in the left field. Another person i commend is Beyonce. Though beyonce has ventured into different genres of music, she still has that unique signature sound. It's never a moment where u ask yourself, "What the phuck was she thinking?!?!" From the first cd/song ever made till now, her sound is still the same. As far as her image, well in my eyes she's the same beyonce, just more mature and sexier. It's a known fact that Hollywood can take hold of your life and twist and turn you in ways you NEVER imagined. Just look at an episode of Dr. Drews rehab. Every celeb on the show be it a model, musician, actor, or athlete, being in the limelight changes you. It's been so sad recently seeing some of my fav. celebs deteriorate right before our eyes. But on the same note, it's been a pleasure watching "Hollywood" enhance someones life right before our eyes for the good. It's just up to that person to know their limits and keep control of their life...............which is one of the biggest obstacles they'll have to face.
Here are a few female celeb examples:
Our fav. Danity Kane member Aubrey O'day. We watched Aubrey obtain her spot in the industry, hard work and endurance. Yet right when she got her break, she let it overrun her life. Unecessary plastic surgeries, gained a concieted attitude that led her dismissal from the group. Where is she now? Who knows, her career in my eyes is OVER! She'll probably be on the next season of Dr. Drews rehab! Poor girl.....
The Infamous Lil Kim........I honestly don't even feel like going there. All I can say is HOT A## MESS!
Heidi Montag..........babygirl babygirl babygirl! What were u thinking?!? Her biggest mistake was Spencer Pratt. Already a gullable girl, her contaminated relationship definitely didn't help the direction she was headed in. Then she has the audacity to go on People mag and and alll these shows and says " In order to make it in this industry, you have to create an image that may not necessarily be you, but in the end it pays off." Well honey too bad it didn't work for you!
Keysia......YEs!
Eve YESSSSSS!
Brandy.....HELL YES!
