Last Night's Concert reflection

The concert I attended last night was the first concert I had ever been too. It wasn’t a terrible one but it had some performers I had never heard of. The two biggest stars there were rapper Juelz Santana and R&B singer Ne-yo. Both artists had the crowd behind them with all of the females in the audience. The rapper threw his signature bandana into the crowd and had so many girls fighting each other over it. On the other hand, the singer threw his sweat towel into the crowd as well. He too had girls physically fighting each other over it.

The thing that stuck out to me was the way the girls were crying in joy when the saw these to stars. This fame or celebrity star status attracts adoration from millions of people around the world. I addressed this point several places throughout different English assignments this semester. One day, I wish to have that same aura as our present day performers and celebrities in order to feel this same adoration. It’s amazing to see these young people go crazy over people they see on television all of the time, right now in person, and my never see in person again.

Another thing that sticks out is how many fans go crazy over them. What makes it even more amazing is that this was just on a college campus. I believe the number they said that was in the arena last night was 3300. Each time Juelz Santana or Ne-yo performs in other cities they receive the same reaction. All over the nation, these artist travel to perform and are received by a new host of adoring fans.
