Bill Kaulitz did something !!! a lot of somethings ... he deserves to be famous ... as do you.... all my role models do SOMETHING and are not losers that are famous just because they are famous ....
lol this isnt true in all cases, god i want to be a teacher, before that i wanted to be a writer, and before that i wanted to be an artist, and before that i wanted to be a singer and an actress, but that was when i was a little girl. idk.everyone wants to be famous at some time, but then we realize that we cant all be famous and we decide something else, to be honest i dont think its a matter of whether its healthy or not, we cant all be celebrities, so we will eventually decide something else.
they come from school{which is a place they MUST go,not WANT to go} so reaching for the stars becomes exactly that.{that is to say the hollywood stars.}
i think i could understand why they do idolize these people who have essentially done nothing. It's because the new ideal lifestyle has become that of a celebritys. These women and men get attention by the media and it looks glamorous to them. They want to escape from their daily rountine and be entertained. Its sad but they normally have little incentive to be interested in the news or even learning.
I like your idea of promoting scientists etc, it would work, it would be fairly easy to bring technological discoveries into the mainstream. Children today can't have these role models if they don't see them. Then again, the internet is changing this. I could say quite positively that I would be a much less informed person if I did not have the internet.
Aah, fame. Well I guess young kids want to do acting and music because it's everywhere, radio and TV and such. But to actually make it as a singer/actor you have to be famous, cause if not it's REALLY hard to make enough money. (my choir teacher is also a normal teacher, even if she's famous in Norway)
But being a scientist and not famous isnt the case where I live, since both my parents are scientists but have both been in the paper/on TV TONS of times. So they are kinda famous after all xD
famous people are idolized because every one watches them. because they are "cool" the same reason that people follow the example of people at school, like peer pressure. girls do this because guys a lot of the time are like "oh *insert famous girls name here* is so hot" or something like that. i dont think its healthy for us to follow people that way. how would you like it if people critizied everything you did? regular people make these mistakes all the time but that never accures to people
I dont know why, but the first thing i thought when i saw you was 'Ian' ....o___o you look like him. (Ian from Smosh..) Am i the only one who notices this?.___.
ANYWAY, on topic..I dont think its that we want to be famous. I think we just want to be LIKED. We see someone else who represents fun to us and we want to be fun like them. Personally, i dont want to 'get my tits out on big brother'...thats gross. In fact, i dont want them out to anyone other than my boyfriend...O_o'
I agree with you. I am so sick of todays culture, there are so many chicks whohave no brains or ambition all they want to do is marry a footballer and be rich and famous. It's not only shallow and arrogant but totally unrealistic. Why do people want to be famous for being a total prat/slag anyways? i don't really get it to be honest.
You're not making sense. You mentioned Sports people should be getting famous etc? You already mentioned David Beckham, so you contradicted yourself there. You also said that people like scientists should be famous rather than others. It is actors and musicians who NEED publicity in magazines and newspapers as well as TV for their career. Why the hell does a teacher need to be on TV? The last teacher i read about changed the name of her school to 'A Place For Learning'. What a load of nonsense.
Your contradicting everything you have just said by creating all of these fairly pointless videos. You don't need to make these videos, however, it gives you a chance to get on the internet? right? Therefore you are slightly "fame obsessed", right? Pick your topics wisely.

When I was a kid I think I wanted to be famous for being one of the youngest people to publish a book. I wanted to be a writer and write fictional fantasy dramas. Ha.

I'm not really bothered about myself being famous anymore - I'd like my films to so I could see feedback on them... but mostly I just want to effect audiences and make interesting films about things that matter.

If popular vote was what won him the election then I would say B, but this is why we have electoral votes. If he wasn't believed to be capable of doing the job, there is no way he would have earned enough electoral votes and surely not the landslide he got.
i know quite a few girls who want to be footballer's wives. i'm guessing it's because it means they have no need to work and earn money themselves. they can just spend their husbands. it's kind of sad really.
32% if people want to be a bimbo blonde chick whose going to jail?
Girls are more forced into the ideals of being a celebrity. Society basically rolls with the fads celebrities start, so because MOST celebrities are size 2 bimbos that want there boobs on camera thus young girls think that is what is accepted and okay for them to do. And it's not. It's not okay to be a whore. But society says it's okay to do that.
I dont think the obsession with celebs because many teens want to be thin because the media and celebs bring this over as the best thing. So many tees are having eating disorders like anorexia and belemia all because people cant accept them for who they are as a result of the celebs and media. They are controlling everything, our thoughts looks the way we act. So many are famous for no reason for being in one movie. Lets make people who have changed the world for the better our and role models.
I don't think it would. Would you like not being able to step out your front door because people want a stupid picture of you. Not being able to walk on the street like a normal person because people will want autographs. Doesn't sound very cool at all.
I know that there are a great number of people who want to be celebrities but I think the number of people who just want ordinary jobs or lives is much higher. My brother want to be a police man, its his dream, mine is in agricultural science, I have 2 friends that want to be teachers, one who want to be a doctor and another that works in IT
People want to become celebrities because it is the ultimate recognition of success.
I had to watch this video twice because the entire first time I watched it I was gaping at the screen, my mouth fully open, because I was wondering "WHERE THE FUCK IS YOUR HAIR?"
I believe that it's partly the fault of the media and the way it portrays celebrities. For example in America (where I am), Paris Hilton going to jail, Britney Spears' breakdown, and countless other stories were talked about more than the current events in the Middle East.
Some teens probably emulate celebrities because they see how much attention they get. They want to be accepted by their peers (people of the opposite sex) and feel the only way to do that is to act like someone their not.
So many social institutions have been discovered to be flawed that today many disenchanted people place celeb status as the last symbol of great accomplishment. Think celebs are hounded by the press just because they are allowed to do so and the general public seeks out celebs stories no matter how tragic or frivolous the story about the celeb may be. we all want to be loved and told how great we must be. how long does it take for your hair to grow out long again?
I think it's more girls that want to be like celebs because we crave the attention and compliments. It's just a one of those unexplainable parts of the human mind. Probably to do with hormones, but we all crave to be loved and we see celebs as 'loved' characters.
I bet if you went back in time 2 or 3 hundred years and asked girls what they wanted to be, they would aspire to become a princess or someone with similar characteristics.
And we obsess with the lives of these people who have done nothing to deserve our attention except have a bunch of people who want to watch them do stupid things for money. Who really cares if they got out a car indecently or may have a new boyfriend?
I want to be a teacher, or an author or a song writer, and im not bothered if I dont get anywhere with it I just want to do it because I adore writing and love music.
If I asked any of my friends tomorow if they want to be paris hilton, they would laugh in my face
I hate celebrities who do absolutely nothing, then become extremely famous. It's one thing to look up to someone because they've done something, at least impressive, but standing around and looking pretty isn't a reason to admire someone.
And, WhySoGr33n, he's actually making good points and there's a reason for people to like him.
I think that the reason that girls are more likely to fall into the trap of reality tv is because we are very often told we are not good enough through any manor of ways, because of this we strive for attention- the type that is going to result in a compliment (however crude most would be) and that is exactly what happens when you get your face out in the public eye- yes, you may end up waist-deep in negativity, but that one comment may be worth it to those girls.
I totally agree with you - it doesn't help that the media are obsessed with the bloody big brother contestants - give me someone with talent not boobs!
She's just another singer being put on a pedestal or having it kicked from under her feet, depending on whether or not she's flavour of the month with the British press. This month's catch is a story about some footballer being charged over a brawl in a club..which was plastered all over the tabloids as well as making prime-time news. The media creates the fiasco, and the fiasco creates the revenue. Great benchmark for success, eh..
This comment has received too many negative votesshow
you talk of an obsession with fame yet here you are on youtube shelling out videos of yourself and trying to garner views and subscriptions with each day. so why are YOU so fame obsessed and self absorbed?
I don't think it has anything to do with biology. The way women are protrayed in the media teaches girls subconsciously that their value is in their looks. It's like a circle. More fame-crazy, beauty-obsessed women on the television screen lead to young girls internalizing those values and then more of these girls enter reality shows and become the examples themselves.
I'd love to be famous. Not for being dull or a whore,but somthing that helps the world. Therefore it's ticking off the fame catagory and being a role model that kids can be wise to aspire to. I'd like to be famous for writting (I'm doing that right now, my book rocks) or directing. And I have already decided the main reason I'd like fame is so I can inspire people to make a change in the world, which I think celebs don't do enough anymore.
I want to be a teacher! Though, becoming an editor wouldn't kill me ...
Generally, girls tend to have more trouble with their self-esteem. If they emulate celebrities, then they're basically imitating the epitome of confidence. At least that's why I hope they act thatway.
I think it's not something about our generation, it's more about the time we are living. Now that it's so much easier to be on TV and everything,this people that always wanted to be known, can be, that's all. It's just part of the big gimmick the celebrities world is. And who doesn't like a nice piece of gossip sometimes?
I dont think its just the girls, what about Dale , and all the male reality tv stars. I also think alot of males apply but the producers choose girls that are most likely to get their boobs out.
I can't stand all the celebrity stuff, and by celebrity, I mean the ones who are famous for being famous. I dont mind actors and musicians, because they at least, have something to be famous for.
well i think part of it could be to do with the fact that before, educated people like astronauts and scientists were few and therefore very special.
Now however, people are doing well for themselves by doing nothing and without writing the whole thing off, who wouldn't want everything by doing nothing??
and yes its sad but there will always be scientists and astronauts, but these won't be the same people who appear on BB.
It's because of our generation's saturation in the media. Kids are just repeating what they've seen and grown up with. They want to be recoignised by others, and see being famous (rather than a hero fire fighter or life saving doctor)as the way receive it.
It's a monkey see monkey do attitude.
But I really think that survey is a generalisation. Everyone has probably dreamed of being famous when they're older, but they have other life ambitions just in case.
You're completely right. People nowadays are way too fame obsessed. It's mostly an unrealistic dream.
I think part of the reason is because TV is so common now. Like, 60 years ago, TV wasn't nearly as popular as it is now. Therefore, people didn't aspire to be just like celebrities.
I think girls (not including me, although i am a girl) have more of a desire to be like the PAris Hilton's of the world because they are portrayed in the media as beautiful and desirable and her always having a boyfriend e.t.c., which makes girls think that for example in order for boys to find them attractive, they have to mimic elements of Paris Hilton's persona.
Believe me, it's a big thing! You boys control alot of teenage girls attitudes!
I think youtubers as being the most diverse collective of creative plp who are not thrown together by circumstance, but with choice I can think of are excellant role models. The more urself u are the more plp enjoy ur videos & I don't think looks matter as much (accepting the highest degree of fangirlism by hey it's sporting). I think u lot are great role models & I don't have a superiority complex about u either coz ur just top fucking plp. <3 to the poet :@)
I'm sick and tired of fangirls. They go ballistic over people like Johnny Depp, Orlando Bloom, Daniel Radcliffe, & the guy that's playing Edward in the upcoming Twilight movie (which hasn't even come out yet!!). It seems like the only reason they watch or even talk about those movies is because they think those actors are attractive.Fangirls are why actors and musicians need bodyguards. Now, I'm not saying that females are the only ones who do this, but they are the ones who do most of the time.
It's ok to be excited for something, but some people (mainly females) take it WAY out of proportion. A WAY better reason for liking those movies is that you liked the book it was based off of, the preview looked interesting, or the first movie was really good. NOT because you think the person they chose to play Edward/Legolas/Jack Sparrow is attractive.
We even have this crap on YouTube, I feel bad for charieissocoollike because he must get a million comments every Tuesday from his 'fangirls'. I think it's quite ridiculous.
I have bullied (in a niceish way) by my mates into reading this 'Twilight' book. I started it today. Robert Pattinson is a very gd actor if u've seen some of his work, but his goodlookingness isn't a great reason to go see a film. Having said that if something has beautiful costume u may want to go see it more, just easier on the eyes & he is supposed to be inhumanely gd looking in the book. :@)
I would actually hate to be famous for not doing anything, because it goes against the whole point of being famous! I don't paticularly want fame, unless it was for winning a nobel prize or discovering something really awesome.
I think the obsession with celebrities is absolutely disgusting. I've seen people who would probably jump in front of a bullet for someone they've never met just because "they're sexy!"
Some people need to understand that it's okay to like or be a fan of someone and maybe even idolize them, if they're the right person, but making someone who will probably never affect their life at all the center of the their universe is a pethetic waste of life.
that's something I didn't touch on, the idolisation and putting famous people on a ridiculous pedastall. I think sometimes this can be down to being mentally unhealty though. although, Jonas Brothers Fans...
I dont know what is it like and when does one become a celebrity? Maybe we should ask someone who has more than 6,410 fans / followers / viewers / subscribers.
Welcome back, Jaz! =D Also, on topic, I've always wanted to be in the film industry, in any way possible, and people always assume that it's because I want fame. But, really, I'm just so obsessed with watching films and the way that they're made that I would like to become a part of making them.
What I want to get into is actually a specific niche, which might end up being beneficial in the long run. I want to do makeup for film and TV, especially special effects type stuff [like gore and prosthetics and the like]. I've dabbled in writing and directing and acting though. I'm currently a theater major at my college and I LOVE it. =]
Yay Jazza! I don't understand why people want to be famous at all. I struggle enough as it is, keeping my work, my social life, and my different groups of friends all in balance. Surely fame will just add another level of complication, putting you in the public eye as you try to keep your life together, having people who only like you because you're famous trying to be your friends etc. etc. No thanks, not for me!
i just want to graduate from college and get a decent job. no way would i want to be famous. it's not healthy. unless you want to be like kristen bell, because she's actually awesome. paris hilton... NO.
I agree that it is mostly girls who imitate celebrities, especially girls in their early teens. We do live in a very sexist and sexual society, and a specific body image is forced upon girls at a younger and younger age. More than a few tween stars will go for the whole "be yourself" schtick, but they never stop telling you what kind of self you should
this is called being an "it girl", look it up on wikipedia. An it girl is a girl who is famous without having any specific talent or having achieved anything. Paris Hilton is a good example. She's famous because of her parents and her good looks.
I think girls are more likely to become it girls because it has a lot to do with being physically attractive.
I think girls are more obsessed with being famous for the sake of being famouse because we are growing up in a world right now that is soo focused on being pretty, perfect, or princess like and less and less of us girls start to think that we can actually achieve anything with out being one of those...
yea! Shiney things are the most amusing to play with, even I'm entertained. except my shiny things are either 1. cheap or free or 2. painted shiney for my own amusement.
I think girls tend to want be famous for being famous because we honestly live in a very sexist society in which girls, especially teenagers, are viewed as pretty and primarily sexual objects. Shows like Gossip Girl and Skins (not bashing, I love them both, really), ect, only add to this problem, and it's really too bad. Also, I think people have a tendency to judge girls very quickly as being slutty. I hate it when guys do that to me, because it honestly hurts.
honestly, i dont care about being famous. i want to write to write. of course, id want people to read it, but i would still write, even if it didnt make any money.
i dont really want to be famous. i want to be me :)))))
lol im only 14 and i sound like in 30 :P but honestly, i dont think id make very much money if i did get my book published cuz im 14. but thatd b fine with me, id just want my book out there! lol im a nerd
I grew up crazy over famous people. I think it's because there is a lack of excitement in people's everyday life. Although I would LIKE to be famous, I'd rather be famous for other things, like being a political pundit.
You know, Jazza, I honestly have no idea. At a younger age, I really don't know WHY I was attracted to pop stars. At this age, I cringe at my previous obsession. I do LOVE political pundits and political satirist now. I guess in a way it's a reflection of my wanting to be involve in analysing politics after I graduate. *Shrugs*

If popular vote was what won him the election then I would say B, but this is why we have electoral votes. If he wasn't believed to be capable of doing the job, there is no way he would have earned enough electoral votes and surely not the landslide he got.

i know quite a few girls who want to be footballer's wives. i'm guessing it's because it means they have no need to work and earn money themselves. they can just spend their husbands. it's kind of sad really.

32% if people want to be a bimbo blonde chick whose going to jail?
Girls are more forced into the ideals of being a celebrity. Society basically rolls with the fads celebrities start, so because MOST celebrities are size 2 bimbos that want there boobs on camera thus young girls think that is what is accepted and okay for them to do. And it's not. It's not okay to be a whore. But society says it's okay to do that.

I dont think the obsession with celebs because many teens want to be thin because the media and celebs bring this over as the best thing. So many tees are having eating disorders like anorexia and belemia all because people cant accept them for who they are as a result of the celebs and media. They are controlling everything, our thoughts looks the way we act. So many are famous for no reason for being in one movie. Lets make people who have changed the world for the better our and role models.

I also think that the reason that people see the trend as rising is because people who dream of fame go to greater lengths to be noticed.

I know that there are a great number of people who want to be celebrities but I think the number of people who just want ordinary jobs or lives is much higher. My brother want to be a police man, its his dream, mine is in agricultural science, I have 2 friends that want to be teachers, one who want to be a doctor and another that works in IT
People want to become celebrities because it is the ultimate recognition of success.

I believe that it's partly the fault of the media and the way it portrays celebrities. For example in America (where I am), Paris Hilton going to jail, Britney Spears' breakdown, and countless other stories were talked about more than the current events in the Middle East.
Some teens probably emulate celebrities because they see how much attention they get. They want to be accepted by their peers (people of the opposite sex) and feel the only way to do that is to act like someone their not.
BoredomKillsKitties 3 years ago
So many social institutions have been discovered to be flawed that today many disenchanted people place celeb status as the last symbol of great accomplishment. Think celebs are hounded by the press just because they are allowed to do so and the general public seeks out celebs stories no matter how tragic or frivolous the story about the celeb may be. we all want to be loved and told how great we must be. how long does it take for your hair to grow out long again?

I think it's more girls that want to be like celebs because we crave the attention and compliments. It's just a one of those unexplainable parts of the human mind. Probably to do with hormones, but we all crave to be loved and we see celebs as 'loved' characters.
I bet if you went back in time 2 or 3 hundred years and asked girls what they wanted to be, they would aspire to become a princess or someone with similar characteristics.

I think that the reason that girls are more likely to fall into the trap of reality tv is because we are very often told we are not good enough through any manor of ways, because of this we strive for attention- the type that is going to result in a compliment (however crude most would be) and that is exactly what happens when you get your face out in the public eye- yes, you may end up waist-deep in negativity, but that one comment may be worth it to those girls.

The media creates the fiasco, and the fiasco creates the revenue. Great benchmark for success, eh..

I don't think it has anything to do with biology. The way women are protrayed in the media teaches girls subconsciously that their value is in their looks. It's like a circle. More fame-crazy, beauty-obsessed women on the television screen lead to young girls internalizing those values and then more of these girls enter reality shows and become the examples themselves.

I'd love to be famous. Not for being dull or a whore,but somthing that helps the world. Therefore it's ticking off the fame catagory and being a role model that kids can be wise to aspire to. I'd like to be famous for writting (I'm doing that right now, my book rocks) or directing. And I have already decided the main reason I'd like fame is so I can inspire people to make a change in the world, which I think celebs don't do enough anymore.

Generally, girls tend to have more trouble with their self-esteem. If they emulate celebrities, then they're basically imitating the epitome of confidence. At least that's why I hope they act thatway.

It's because of our generation's saturation in the media. Kids are just repeating what they've seen and grown up with. They want to be recoignised by others, and see being famous (rather than a hero fire fighter or life saving doctor)as the way receive it.
It's a monkey see monkey do attitude.
But I really think that survey is a generalisation. Everyone has probably dreamed of being famous when they're older, but they have other life ambitions just in case.
missupernatural 3 years ago
You're completely right. People nowadays are way too fame obsessed. It's mostly an unrealistic dream.
I think part of the reason is because TV is so common now. Like, 60 years ago, TV wasn't nearly as popular as it is now. Therefore, people didn't aspire to be just like celebrities.
And if it helps, I want to go into journalism.

I think girls (not including me, although i am a girl) have more of a desire to be like the PAris Hilton's of the world because they are portrayed in the media as beautiful and desirable and her always having a boyfriend e.t.c., which makes girls think that for example in order for boys to find them attractive, they have to mimic elements of Paris Hilton's persona.
Believe me, it's a big thing! You boys control alot of teenage girls attitudes!

I'm sick and tired of fangirls. They go ballistic over people like Johnny Depp, Orlando Bloom, Daniel Radcliffe, & the guy that's playing Edward in the upcoming Twilight movie (which hasn't even come out yet!!). It seems like the only reason they watch or even talk about those movies is because they think those actors are attractive.Fangirls are why actors and musicians need bodyguards. Now, I'm not saying that females are the only ones who do this, but they are the ones who do most of the time.
bc06dave 3 years ago
It's ok to be excited for something, but some people (mainly females) take it WAY out of proportion. A WAY better reason for liking those movies is that you liked the book it was based off of, the preview looked interesting, or the first movie was really good. NOT because you think the person they chose to play Edward/Legolas/Jack Sparrow is attractive.

Having said that if something has beautiful costume u may want to go see it more, just easier on the eyes & he is supposed to be inhumanely gd looking in the book. :@)

I think the obsession with celebrities is absolutely disgusting. I've seen people who would probably jump in front of a bullet for someone they've never met just because "they're sexy!"
Some people need to understand that it's okay to like or be a fan of someone and maybe even idolize them, if they're the right person, but making someone who will probably never affect their life at all the center of the their universe is a pethetic waste of life.

I agree that it is mostly girls who imitate celebrities, especially girls in their early teens. We do live in a very sexist and sexual society, and a specific body image is forced upon girls at a younger and younger age. More than a few tween stars will go for the whole "be yourself" schtick, but they never stop telling you what kind of self you should
be.

rhymingwithoranges 3 years ago
this is called being an "it girl", look it up on wikipedia. An it girl is a girl who is famous without having any specific talent or having achieved anything. Paris Hilton is a good example. She's famous because of her parents and her good looks.
I think girls are more likely to become it girls because it has a lot to do with being physically attractive.

I think girls tend to want be famous for being famous because we honestly live in a very sexist society in which girls, especially teenagers, are viewed as pretty and primarily sexual objects.

Also, I think people have a tendency to judge girls very quickly as being slutty. I hate it when guys do that to me, because it honestly hurts.
