Should Famous Young Singers Be Good Role Models?
It was only last year that everyone was buzzing about Miley Cyrus’ controversial photo that she took for Vanity Fair magazine. However, that picture surely hasn’t been detrimental to her career. This past week her movie, Hannah Montana: The Movie debuted in the theaters. No doubt that young girls everywhere will be begging their parents to take them to see it.
The risque Miley Cyrus photo that brought much criticism was probably the same energy that produced all the hoopla surrounding Britney Spears’ never-ending drama. When you’re young, famous, and a singer, it seems inevitable that you will be put under the microscope and every part of your life will be scrutinized.
This begs the question….Should famous young singers be good role models?
Our better judgment would say that yes, young and famous singers should be good role models for their fans. However, if you really think about it, these young people are human…and humans do make mistakes. Furthermore, as an artist, they are free to be who they are and express themselves how they want to. Sure, it would be nice if every young singer would stay innocent and be good role models for our children, but ultimately it should be up to the parents to be good role models.
