Etiquette seams not to
exist anymore when it comes to many entertainers in the industry; or really has
it ever. In recent months, we have seen a public display of violence towards
paparazzi from Justin Bieber and Kanye West just to name a few, with results of
injuries to others, and full blown disrespect and videos going viral on the web
(Justin Bieber nightclub attack). We can ask ourselves, who’s their security? Why are
the paparazzi getting so close to them? Or we can just make the assumption that
the paparazzi should respect these entertainers, because they deserve their
privacy. WRONG! It’s their job. So how should an entertainer act in public? I
mean, they only have fans as young as 2-years old recognizing their songs and
they need to be positive while in the limelight.
When looking up proper
etiquette for entertainers, I came across something that is extremely true, and
it’s a golden rule for anyone. As a person, whether an entertainer or not, you
have your reputation to protect, you have an image to maintain. When people see
you for the first time, they remember the impression you left on them; make it
a good one. Many times an artist, forgets this golden rule of life, and tends
to go about doing things their own way. Doing so is why we constantly hear
about them in the media doing the unbelievable, or what is made to be
unbelievable because of who they are (
Regardless, entertainer or
not, there is a right and a wrong way to handle yourself when you are looked up
to by different individuals. There are no solutions that I can provide, but I
can give advice and it’s to watch your surroundings! You never know who will be
there to record your ridiculous antics and whose blog site you will be put on
next!
