Musician/Musical entertainer bashing to a whole new level.

The other day, I was reading an article on this website called 'vigilantcitizen' where they write articles on conspiracies and the like. So, there were articles about musicians, such as Lady Gaga, and Kanye West on how their music is "occult"-like, with it's "occult symbols" and what not. And you read the response from some of the readers, and it's shocking what they have to say about our world, how it's going under.. and how people should stop listening to a certain artist because of what they deem to be "occult". So, you see, they were attacking Western pop culture, and then they decided to start attacking Eastern pop culture, so far targeting on South Korea. They deemed SHINee and Narsha to be "demonic" and for people not to listen to their music if they want to be saved-- how ridiculous is that? I mean, of course there is good intention with the message that they're trying to get across, but there is always another side to that story, and I'm looking at the other side. Since the majority of the responses come from Christians, I feel like Christians are just trying to find something to hate on. At first, it was Satin, then the Jews, then the witch trials, the gays, and now pop culture. Isn't this going a bit too far? When I read those comments, I honestly feel offended seeing how I was born in the United States and my heritage is from the East Asia region. I am not hating on any religion specifically, it is just the prominent fact that most of the people posting on that website are Christians that (don't continue reading if you're an extremely religious Christian for you may find this next statement offensive) have their heads up their ass believing in what someone wrote down who-knows-when and there could have been some mistake with translating of text from language A into language B. This is only from my perspective, everyone-- don't take it to heart.

Mel Gibson's 'tyrate'

So, most of us know that Mel Gibson, a well known actor, has been exposed for what he's done-- abused his wive Oksana and her daughter, Lucia. We've all heard the released recordings of Mel's tantrums, and were appalled but after the days of rerunning the recordings, many people have become tiresome of the repeating news. I mean, if they were a normal family, I'm sure that there wouldn't be this much attention on this case-- because I'm sure that domestic abuse isn't something new. Mel has his own issues to deal with, including being let go from his entertainment company, and having to deal with all the criticism that people spew out. I think we should just let this go, allow the courts to deal with this, and butt out of Mel's life-- because it isn't ours'.

Musical entertainers

You know, music entertainers (boy bands, girl bands, major label singers)  are also musicians too-- they practice for hours for the support of their fans. What's the difference between them and orchestral performers? In orchestra concerts, there is courtesy and the audience applauds either between movements, or after the concert itself. But if you're like Super Junior, or Justin Bieber, you have people screaming when you sing, judge you when you dance and rank on your looks. Honestly, if you wanted to be judged by your looks, you might as well have tried to become a model. If you wanted to be judged by your dancing skills, then you should have be a dancer, so please. Take this into consideration, even though there is much love for these type of artists, they're still artists and there has to be some sort of courtesy out there.
