i was thinking about chappell roan and how she’s come out a lot recently about being stalked and followed and it got me thinking about like marshmello and orville peck and how men can kind of shield their faces and reach success and not have to deal with what being famous means in terms of like being stalked and recognized in pub lic to the same levels as people who do show their face

i think about drag artists and how chappell is a drag queen pretty much and how a lot of people can’t recognize drag queens outside of their drag and they feel like they can kind of shape shift and turn it off and blend into normal life a lot easier but how chappell roan isn’t really afforded that opportunity even though she literally looks so different when performing

i feel like with how society is progressing and the importance of unique art there should be a compromise

in a perfect world i would just want people to be like fucking normal to celebrities but people are just crazy like when chappell roan said the comment about like random people coming up and hugging her and taking pictures to me i was like okay a picture i get i also understand saying no but if random people came up to me on the street asking me for a hug i would freak out like that is so weird to me i would never do that to someone

anyways i feel like we should use ai and technology to our advantage in situations like this like imagine if chappell roan appeared as an AI or had someone who wants to be famous be her publicly but wasn’t actually her and maybe it was like a known thing like chappell roan doesn’t reveal her identity

like i know this doesn’t fully work like she’s q performer obviously but i wonder how many talented people are very good at one aspect of their job but not all of it let’s make it like a co-op idk

this reminds me of SIA also using maddie ziegler as a muse and shielding herself with her hair

like i feel like this is something we are going to start seeing more in the future and i think it would actually be really interesting

i feel like with the pop girlies and famous people we always want to see triple threats but sometimes i feel like i prefer someone who stands and barks like sometimes true talent is limited to one area this is also something that isn’t expected of men or even pop men like i think about the dua lipa hate a few years ago and back to the behind the scenes thing i think about the ashanti jlo lip syncing thing jlo is a perfect example she loves being famous she takes any avenue she can to keep her fame and relevancy this is a compliment i’m honestly not a jlo hater but like she can’t sing like that’s people critique of her she is beautiful a great actress it’s like nice clothes were made for her to wear jlo is someone who should be seen by the world i don’t think this is true but maybe sometimes like ghost writers and background singers and people who do demos for artists want to just stay in the background and work on their craft

and sometimes when they try to become a triple threat and do every part it all falls apart and they lack longevity and success i think about megan trainor who’s solo music i love but i also don’t fully know if she was meant to be pop star famous like it seems like her personality gets her in trouble a lot like that’s someone that you shouldn’t hear from as much

i also think that telling celebrities that they don’t have to interact with media outlets or do press junkets or perform is an answer to this question too like more people should be doing what they love but again at the end of the day chappell should be able to perform and be herself and be seen and not feel anxious and watched and stalked 24/7 but this was just something i was thinking about at 3:30 am thanks for listening
