With newspapers and magaizines slowly getting over Michael Jackson's death, memorials are still floating around about the subject on Facebook and Twitter as well. It always seems like one even is hovering over another too. Farrah Fawcett passed away about the same time as Jackson and the fact that she was famous as well did really matter. Obviously Michael Jackson was the King of Pop, but the passing of Fawcett was something that media was just not interested in.
If it's not one thing, then it's definitely another.
We all know that the Video Music Awards was one this year that we will not forget in a long time.
There are many Taylor Swift fans out there. I for one am not a fan. I think she is an artist where a person either likes her or they don't like her. She is younger and very talented so the fact that she received an Award was amazing. She had every right to be excited. When giving her speech, Kanye West broke in. I'm sure we all still remember the Kanye spiel as well. This was all over the media and there were constant replays.
Yes, sure, I don't like Taylor Swift, but what he did was rude and the comment/statuses on Facebook had shot up like crazy.
Shortly after Kanye decided to be a jerk, Patrick Swayze passed away after battling cancer. Once again, the statuses on Facebook went up. With Kanye still being fresh to our minds, one status out of many was "keep Swayze's funeral a secret from Kanye because he might go up to the altar telling everyone Jackson had a better funeral." Many were quoting Swayze on a line from a more famous movie of his, Dirty Dancing. "Nobody puts Baby in the corner." I can't remember what channel it had been on, but apparently he despised this line. I did however, find an interview he had done with Don Kornits.
There has definitely been a lot going on and social medias are able to give us a lot to talk about because of it.

It definitely has been a very busy last couple of months or even month. I like how you mentioned Farrah Fawcett. It actually frustrated me a lot how all of the media just kept their attention focused on Michael Jackson and didn't really give Farrah much of a second thought. She had a great career and was loved, respected and adored by not only her friends, but also her peers. She handled her condition beautifully and even video taped her treatment as a way to bring awareness about. The media definitely needed to give more attention to Farrah, she was an amazing actress and person.
ReplyDeleteMichael Jackson's death was indeed sad, but there was a short time that I couldn't even watch the cable news channels because I was tired of all the stories and tributes. It seemed that there was more focus on somebody that died a month ago then the issues that we have at hand in our country that need to be addressed. I wonder why, like you said, the media only covers certain stories. Farrah should have gotten more coverage in my opinion.
ReplyDeleteI personally do not think Kanye West should have interrupted Taylor Swift at the awards ceremony, even if he was not a fan. If someone wins an award and you do not agree, then so be it because that is your opinion. Obviously, there are a lot of other people out there that do not agree with you. The line you listed that someone said about keeping Patrick Swayze’s funeral a secret from Kanye is disturbing and people should have enough sense to not post those types of comments. There has definitely been a lot to talk about in the social media these past few months, it just seems never ending.
