No Not Star Wars- Fan Wars!!!!

Everyone has that one celebrity who they think is stellar. Back in the younger days before the internet was huge such as 1999, it didn't cause a riot if you liked Britney Spears more than Christina Aquerlia or N*Sync more than Backstreet boys but now in this day and age, its a battlefield. You see it everyday from comments on blogs and facebook status to even comments we hear the celebs say on TV. Its as if who we like defines us.

For example, somehow on almost every single post on perez hilton's website, lady gaga gets mention when Perez didn't even bring her up in the conversation being bashed, called phony, by fans of that artist whether it be Justin Bieber, Britney Spears, or even Christina. A post about bieber and fans of other artists who dislike bieber slam on him and perez and such. The question is why do we do it?

Talking to my friends even I notice it. They all have some one who they think is the best and if you don't disagree, then you are stupid. Even I have noticed I do it when people rip on artists such as Lady Gaga, Justin Bieber, Nicki Minaj, and etc., I get so defensive of them its crazy. Most of them we don't know them personally yet with twitter, facebook, and such where we can feel as if we know them, and the large amount of concerts and meet and greets the artist do, we make ourselves feel as if there is a bond between us.

Almost everyone out there in the music industry is talented; whether it be looks, vocal ability, sex appeal, or pure luck, they all made it. Why can we not accept that and not make a war out of it whether we like someone or not but have to make it a competition of who is better.

I want everyone to look back and remember Pop legend Michael Jackson who wouldn't even perform his concert here in the US due to many people's treatment of him. He died and then people realized how much they loved his music when they really didn't want to admit it. We are doing that now, when we insult someone whose song we will probably miss the future. When we realized that the artist really was talented, when we realized that we made everything more complicated than it shouldve been. People, this is our music, and we must have a truce before our music fails us.
