Sometimes, an artist can already gain fame with one or two songs and hordes of followers. The challenge comes on sustain this fame for the artist who wants to establish a career. After all, a one-hit wonder is just a passing fancy for the public.
When Hit Singer (HS) broke into the music scene, she immediately gained the nod of the mainstream audience who were waiting for a new and fresh sound from new artists. Not only did HS receive the admiration of millennials, her song performances were appreciated across ages. Thus, her management knew HS was a potential star.
One song played on the radio or via online streaming sites is not enough if an artist wants to have a career in the entertainment industry. Hence, HS needed to go through the usual route of concerts on campus, provinces, or any event that required her talent. Her presence would mean much to the audience of such events.
However, as the gigs of HS continue, many have noticed certain traits that seem to contradict her image of being well-mannered and polite. Allegedly, HS has had several instances of coming late to her shows, which made the audience wait for hours just to see her perform. In a gig, HS showed up, performed, and asked the audience to sing with her. Nothing wrong with that, except that HS made the audience sing more than half way through her songs. HS excused herself by citing fatigue and throat issues. As for an encore number, as predicted, HS did not do any.
After performing, artists are usually requested to stay for photo-op with fans. With HS, such is impossible, as she refuses to pose with fans and simply walks away when her numbers are done. Allegedly, even the organizer of one of her concerts was unable to have a photo with her.
While her career seems to be moving up, HS might soon wake up to find out that she had lost her connection with the audience. Word travels fast these days and listeners sometimes consider the overall character of a performer before patronizing his/her music. Sooner or later, people might realize that the image HS is projecting contradicts her behavior behind the scenes. If HS continues with her aloof ways, which can be rude at times, she might just have to think if she wants to continue entertaining her audience.
