Spare Some Change for Her Concert

A few years ago, once famous singer (OF) could sell her concerts quickly and at the proper price. While everything was positive then, OF was already being warned about the possible outcome of her young career. Her career and fame led to a better life for her family. OF was able to acquire property and other measures of wealth. However, OF got tired of pretending and quietly lived the way she wanted to be.

Despite warnings, OF dropped her feminine image, and decided to come clean about herself to the detriment of her family. Instead of getting sympathy from her parents, OF got the opposite. Her relatives expressed dismay over her chosen lifestyle, and the media hounded her family to broadcast their sentiments. The public was not kind, either. OF was subjected to ridicule and her fashion statement became the focus of jokes. OF was the compared with another singer who had earlier admitted to her sexuality, and they even had a concert together, which was not as successful as projected.

OF was stubborn. Instead of heeding her elders, who seemed to be protecting their own interests, OF stood her ground and stayed with the person she chose to love. OF challenged the norms, and by doing so resulted in a waning of interest in her career.

While things might not be as lucrative in the local scene, OF still has the international market, which she could take advantage. OF is scheduled to have a concert abroad, but the tickets are not selling as expected. Hence, the producers are selling the tickets in bulk, which translates to a very low price or even just change, for an individual ticket. Even OF has to sell her tickets personally. Well, OF has to work double as she has a partner to support and still some family members who depend on her. However, even if OF might not be financially viable as a performer as she was before, she is still being recognized as a respectable talent in the Filipino community abroad. In a few months, she will be performing with other international Filipino artists in a fund-raising concert for typhoon victims.

Will OF be able to salvage the dwindling interest in her career as she did have a good start in the international music scene? Will she be able to do it or will she be dismissed as a hasbeen even before she turns 30?

When somebody talks about your career, most people are gonna talk about wins and losses, a World Series or pennants. But if somebody asked me how I would sum up my career, I would say I had a unbelievable, fabulous career. - Jim Leyland
