Yeah. Most probably struggled for years on a gamble to make it big.
And let's not forget, even though they you see the lavish parties and vacations in the tabloids, most do a lot more in a day than a normal 9 to 5 job would take.
Especially working at a recording an abum, or on tour.
The 2 hours on stage is what you see. The hours of rehearsals with and without band, dancers, etc you don't.
And usually artists have a lot more branches and other things they are engaged in that need to be managed.
They have put in a lot in the past and still do. You get compensated for it if you're successful.
oh yes. please elaborate on one example of how the Kardashians got rich from f@#king and divorcing, from having a rich uncle lawyer and then having interns work for free to do their dishes.. totally hard work lmao.
Ah that good old midge logic with JUST the right...sMIDGE of negativity! (Not gonna lie. Proud of that one)
Just because there are a few examples (that you grossly exaggerate per usual) doesn't mean that's the standard... And even in the case of the Kardashians I'm wondering if you're not just a bit jealous...
I bet you or most people wouldn't mind getting rich by having sex with who they want, having rich uncles that in your mind just give you money, or have interns that work for free...
But let's pick a few of this list which I obviously was talking about, shall we?
Kaley Cuoco: Has been busting her @$$ of acting since she was 5 because she loved it. Also was a national ranked tennis player and does very well in equestrian sports because she's passionate about it and doesn't whine about others on he Internet much.You obviously don't get to do these things by doing nothing.
Kenny G. Started playing music at 10 and obviously never stopped. Slowly build up his skills playing different bands for years until he made it.
LL Cool J: Had a pretty rough start to say the least. His father shot his mother and grandfather nearly killing them both and he was the one that found them...at age 4...
Suffered physical and mental abuse.
He started rapping at 10, wanted to make a career out of it soon after was helped out a little by that same mother and grandfather that believed in him, and not long after made a first small breakthrough because of talent that he gotfrom 6 years of getting better and now not only has a lot of albums, is an actor, music producer, clothing line, and philanthropist.
I could go on but yeah. And I just picked one randomly from the top and picked the next two. The one after that is Rowan Atkinson. I already know how he started and the story is similar. Another hard working artist that developed talent by wanting it and working tirelessly to become great.
Which is what I meant.
Now go do your usual thing by keeping your hate alive by downvoting this but not reacting and still thinking you are right...somehow...
