What is the world coming to?

I am pretty sure people have had a celebrity they idolized when they were kids. However, I am also pretty sure it was not to this extent. This little girl Cody was videotaped by her mother because she was hysterically crying over the famous singer Justin Beiber. Justin Beiber is famous for his young audience and the support and love his fans bring with them. Although Justin Beiber is now an adult, he has very young, in this case three-year old, fans who admire his very being and who are inspired by his music. It is insane to know that words like, "baby, baby, baby thought you'd always be mine" would touch and inspire those of three years of age. Honestly, I guarantee they do not even really understand his words and most do not understand that his words are general. When song writers write music, they make general statements personal so that each individual fan can connect with the person singing the song. This is how singers establish fans.

This video is actually super amusing and I laughed the whole way through it. Cody says things such as, "...she wishes Justin Beiber were a part of her family" and "...she is crying because she cannot see Justin Beiber all day." She says she, ..."loves Justin Beiber because she KNOWS he loves her back." For her to get that particular message from his songs says a lot about his ability to capture people with his words and his appearance. The funniest part of the entire video is when the phone rings when she is crying on her sister's shoulder. She immediately stops her sobbing and lifts her head to say, "I bet that's Justin Beiber."

I believe this video was made with the intent to get Justin Beiber's attention so that he may put this three-year old "out of her misery" per say. The reason I say this is because towards the end of the video the mother says, I am going to stop recording you and Cody replies no. The funny thing is, she certainly got his attention because she, along with her video, appeared on the Jimmy Kimell show with a surprise greeting from the infamous Justin Beiber.

The moral of this video, in my point of view, is that artists are never aware of the amount of influence they have on their audience. Because they are famous, fans follow what they follow. Fans will like with celebrity likes and act how the celebrity acts. I think they should monitor the message they portray because, nowadays, celebrities promote provocative actions. Obviously, it is not only words and it is not just a video, it is someone's life that is actually being affected.
