Is it normal to want to be a pop star so badly? Like ALWAYS day dream of me on stage singing my heart out to my fans? My main inspirations at the moment are Rihanna and Justin Bieber. My mother says it's an unrealistic dream and it's pointless, but I'm really going to try... I've already got studio time booked and I'm writing songs with a girl who knows a lot about the industry. What do you think?
I would say, keep at it, but also, I hope that it is not the only thing you have going for you. It is very hard to make music your life career (that being an understatement). So have a back up plan. One that fits in with reality at the moment.
But hey, dont stop, you never know!
Yea, alot of people hate pop stars but alot of people love them too. I say go for it. If you really want too then why not? I used to hate Justin Bieber, and I don't even know why accept for his voice, and dorky haircut. Now, I respect the guy for being a nice kid (I read somewhere he respects his mom and all,) and he doesn't even sing about drugs and stuff, so why hate on him? I don't like his music, but I don't hate him.
I'm in the same boat as you, except my mother is encouraging me to go for it and I shit my pants whenever I'm onstage.
I know enough about the industry to know that it's not easy, and theres a lot of competition. But stick at it, you never know what could be waiting around the corner.
Being a "pop star" like Bieber and Rihanna is pure luck. And most of the "lucky" people who do become pop stars aren't even good singers.
Also, being a "pop star" means you're going to be followed day and night by the demons known as the paparazzi, and everyone knowing your business. Sacrificing your soul to them isn't worth being famous :/
