Pop artists and Prejudice

by Paulo Coelho on November 4, 2009

There is a lot prejudices against pop artists. I was tweeting something and all of a sudden I saw that because I follow and I admire pop artists, pop singers, people says “oh, this singers are not good because they are so popular”.

So I would like to know your opinion about popularity and quality. This is very important because I hate prejudices and at the same time, I think that people are loosing a lot of love and joy that pop artists can share with us. This is my opinion, off course you can have a different opinion.

Thank you,
Paulo

Music changes the patterns of thoughts in our minds according to science. So people who like the same music, often think in similar patterns and feel connected to one another. I generally like ‘alternative music’ more than pop, and I think a bit differently to other people in general too. I like some pop music as well. There is so much variety. I often think that if something is popular I won’t like it and that is less to do with prejudice than experience. I am open to liking it. I like Lady Gaga and she is very popular.

Adam’s persona also came to mind. HE has invaded us…And his Empire is empowering.

I think prejudice is related to fear and kind of jealousy at the same time.I don´t think Pop Artist are bad people,they are just different in what they do from us.I think that if we feel identified with a famous person or an pop artist there´s nothing wrong with that,if somebody or something touches our heart, there´s nothing wrong with that…by the way, I love some Pop Artists!!I sing too, and sometimes they are my inspiration!!
