Grammy Awards (Analyzation)
A) Cee-Lo Green
Image
An over-weight African-American guy, who has an outrageous fashion sense and says exactly what is on his mind.
Authentic
Since he is new and we have not seen any other guys really like him, we cannot be sure. Maybe he is trying to start a trend, or he really is as weird as he appears.
Album
The picture of him on his album has him in a suit, different then how he usually dresses, so I do not believe it helped sell the album. Glee covered his song, which definitely would have helped.
Fans reaction
Fans love his unique and eccentric look, along with the honest lyrics in his songs.
Personal reaction
I admire his originality. Although the genre is unusual, he seems to correlate with Lady Gaga, where he doesn’t care what others think and just wants to express himself in music, as opposed to clothes (in terms of Lady Gaga).
B) Justin Bieber
Image
A tween popstar. He is very fashionable and likes to have fun, but knows that family is everything. A lot of people over the age of 15 portray him as a “pre-pubecent homosexual” due to his young looking features and his style of over-played music.
Has it changed
Yes. He used to be a young, sweet and single child star. He wears darker clothing and hangs out with more ‘thug’ looking people/crew members.
Authentic
I believe it is. Most boys at his age have a typical ‘style’ which he seems to follow. He is at the age where he can wear what he wants, and he keeps it classy but stylish. He keeps his hair style the same. He has stayed friends with the same people and remains tight to his mother. It does not appear as though fame has affected him to an extreme extent.
Album
His image definitely helps him sell his album. If he dressed as a nerd or less then perfect, he would not sell as many records.
Fans reaction
Young girls (tweens) generally love Justin Bieber psychopathic degree. He is a guy who knows how to have fun and make fun of himself, without being pressured into bad things. He is typically admirable and respectable, but has one of the largest number hate groups of all celebrities.
Personal reaction
I used to despise Justin Bieber due to the overwhelming hatred that is constantly brought upon him, so I deemed it easier just to go along with it. Although, I think he is a good singer and creates catchy songs that meet their demand, and I’ve gained a bit of respect upon finding out that he makes fun of his pre-pubecent image on FunnyorDie.com.
