The Cost of Young Pop Fame... is it worth it?

What happens to the majority of young pop stars? After watching Where Are They Now: 80’s Young Pop Stars, it dawn on me that for the majority of the time, the young stars rarely turn out normal. The young pop stars go crazy… stay out late, drink, get into bars/clubs under the age of 21, use drugs, drive drunk, and have family problems to the sky. One must ask, is young fame worth the statistic consequences that follow? Let’s look at a new issue that has crossed the entertainment industry. Miley Cyrus and her recent pictures taken for Vanity Fair, she is naked but has a bed sheets wrapped around her. Even though she is getting older and is the new princess of pop teens, she is still a young girl who has younger fans that look up to her. This was not wise choice for her to do. However, she is not the first young teen Disney pop star to do something like this. Inside Disney’s World there is a stream of overexposed stars from their younger days, Christina Aguilera, Lindsay Lohan Britney Spears, and Vanessa Hudgens. Why did they suddenly turn from the perfect idol to an overexposed sultry star. They end up losing their young fan base and respect. Is Disney holding their princess to close to the castle and not allowing them to breach out with out having consequences? There needs to be a happy medium between the teens turning adults without them going crazy.

of course fame is not worth losing your privacy, morals, respect but $ can sometimes change everything. The people these pop stars surround themselves with bring chaos, drugs & other negative energy in their environment. The industry these young women enter involves selling your soul.. even though they justify it by calling it "art" it is not. Art is suppose to be inspiring, innovative & timeless. Every young women listed in the blog is talentless, copy-cat or over exposed with sex that the public ignores their beautiful voice ( christina aguilera). I wish these young women could take a step back & evaluate their choices,image, type of lifestyle.
