Guest Posted June 18, 2016 Share Posted June 18, 2016 Celebrities should just be like Rihanna - never talk about anything because whatever you do, it is wrong. There's always gonna be someone who will judge you for not speaking up and when you do, they will criticize your choice of words. These people are entertainers, not politicians. They don't have to speak about these issues. It's great when they do and really mean it, but that's not really why the public made them famous. They're primarily famous for serving us good music and making us want more. Nothing more, nothing less. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
shoful 13,304 Posted June 19, 2016 Share Posted June 19, 2016 I don't understand why the world expects celebrities to always have a voice in every tragedy and social problem. Thats not their job. Why does not posting something on social media have to mean that they don't care about what happened. "My name is Dita, I'll be your Mistress tonight..."

Himeros26 1,688 Posted June 19, 2016 Share Posted June 19, 2016 Yasssss spill the T, TIME! Taylor, Nicki, and Azealia have always come across as the type of girls who would tell someone "wow you're too gay" imo. And remember that angry team member from Nicki's team that spilled the T that Nicki said "the album will sell well I have enough gay fans" about Pinkprint or something among them lines Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Daydream 541 Posted June 19, 2016 Share Posted June 19, 2016 Everyone keeps bringing up female public figures, but what about the men? Did Nick Jonas, Justin Bieber, or other male entertainers speak about this? Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

No one's obligated to do anything These people have such impact and such a platform that the stuff they say affects the young public Tay and Nicki bring light to the shallowest situations and force feed us their industry complaints and we have no choice but to be aware of them, cause the two are extremely famous that we are always aware of what they have to say. If we isolate ourselves from Tay and Nicki, we practically isolate ourselves from the entire industry, hence why we even have a very active Entertainment News section. Gagadaily isn't just Gaga news. So the verdict is, it would be nice for us to hear them talk on the situations that we are engaged in as opposed to the ones that center around them. We hear them out, so why don't they hear us out. They don't have to do anything but that'll just affect our perception of them for the worse, which will ultimately harm their legacy. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Roomingfree77 244 Posted June 20, 2016 Share Posted June 20, 2016 On 6/14/2016 at 0:25 PM, X Mannequin said: -In the days since the shootings at Pulse in Orlando, many celebrities have expressed their condolences, their fears, and their general sense of concern both for the dead and for the nation at large. While public figures of all stripes have weighed in, musicians have been among the most vocal -Katy Perry has tweeted in support of Pride celebrations and Lady Gaga read the names of the fallen at a California vigil. Even Beyoncéand Britney Spears, neither known for engaging directly with the news cycle, sent support via Instagram. Meanwhile, Taylor Swift’s last social media updates were about a wedding she “crashed” as a publicity stunt. Nicki Minaj, another superstar with a massive gay following, has been similarly quiet on the issue. -It’s ungracious to keep score, but these stars are so vocal about so many other issues that it’s a bit striking to see silence here. Swift, for instance, was widely interpreted (including by me) as existing at the vanguard of gay-friendly pop stars for including the lyric “boys and boys and girls and girls” on her last album. And both Swift and Minaj were outspoken about demographic issues around the nominations for last year’s Video Music Awards—a political cause that was easy to take, given that it directly benefited both figures’ careers. -It’s hard to blame Swift for keeping silent this time. As Lady Gaga, dogged throughout her career by questions of exploitation of gay audiences despite apparent earnestness, could tell her, there’s little upside for seriously speaking out. - it’s also reasonable for gay fans to be a bit spurious the next time Swift breaks her silence on what she considers meaningful issues—for instance, awards-show hosts joking about her. Stars don’t owe us anything, but nor do we owe them anything. Fans might find it more appealing to engage with stars who seem engaged with the world.
