On April 22,2013 P!nk had to cancel one of her concerts in Birmingham, UK due to illness. Causing some disgruntled "fans" to criticize her for canceling. They are accusing P!nk of not caring about her U.K. fans. I'm calling B.S. here. First of all if you look at her track record, P!nk has an excellent history of keeping each and every concert date possible and this one was no different. She has even expanded her "The Truth About Love" tour. Take a look at how many cities and countries she has already been to not to mention the states here that she still has to tour. That is A LOT for one person I don't care who you are! And she even performed through very serious illness just so she wouldn't disappoint her fans. P!nk is the real deal and one of the greatest artists of this generation and it is a shame that people cannot understand that while she is strong-she is still human and subject to the same illnesses and injuries that could happen to any of us on the job. P!nk has been very dedicated to her fans and the fact that she performed despite having the ROTA Virus proves just how dedicated she is. People need to remember that these artists and performers put their bodies through a grueling schedule and often have to perform under very tough circumstances just for us. It is very clear that P!nk loves what she does, she loves her fans, and she cried at the thought of disappointing anyone. Art and music is a labor of love and if you have actually seen her perform you know she goes above and beyond for her fans. She apologised on her own web page to her fans saying she never meant to hurt anyone by canceling but it was beyond her control. So to anyone who has beef with her for being human, I think she said it best when she told her critics to kiss her a**.
In other music news, Mariah Carey is threatening to leave American Idol because she has grown tired of dealing with Nicki Minaj's childish behavior. It has been a season that made this blogger even stop watching due to the overwhelmingly rude behavior by Minaj. Here's something to think about here. This show has people who are in the music industry judging the talent of undiscovered future stars...should they not have some kind of credentials and a proven track record to be a judge?? Or did the producers just want to throw in some Jerry Springer type drama to "draw in viewers"? The latter actually backfired and many fans of the show were turned off by the constant bickering and insults.
Nicki's disrespectful behavior is embarassing. First of all Ms. Big Bird hair-let's just take a look at your stats versus Mariah's. You have no business being a judge of talent and certainly have no right to talk to Mariah in the disrespectful way that you do.
Mariah Carey has 18 number one pop hits. Minaj has 1. That's right...just one.
Mariah has 5 Grammy Awards. Minaj has 0. That's right...none.
Mariah Carey's album sale totals thus far-over 200 million. Minaj album sales-2.5 million.
Until Minaj earns her stripes like Mariah has, she should sit down and shut her pie hole. There is no defending Minaj's behavior because she just does not have the talent and experience to earn the respect of anyone after speaking about Mariah who has earned her way to the top. Maybe someday she will match Mariah's numbers but that takes hard work, dedication, and actual skill. Of which Minaj currently lacks. Mariah has stood the test of time. Minaj is just a blip on the screen. Sit down Big Bird hair...you need to learn how to be a real artist before you criticize others.
On Thursday May 3, I had the pleasure of going to The Comedy Club in Webster, NY to support my favorite comedian Iliza Shelsinger. Iliza risked her life to come and perform for our troops in Afghanistan at Kandahar during a USO tour and I came to thank her for supporting not only our active duty troops, but she supports our veterans as well. If you ever get the chance to see her stand up comedy act-I strongly encourage you to go. She is hilarious. You may recognize her from her hit television dating show "Excused", she also was the winner of "Last Comic Standing" being the youngest and only female to ever win. Iliza and her rescued dog Blanche tour the country together and I guarantee that you will love her act. You can follower her on Twitter @Iliza or visit her website for tickets and tour information- www.Iliza.com
