When you get to be a correspondent on a forum like this, you get to read a lot of material on a particular artist. I found this interesting article from Sun Media:
www.fyicalgary.ca/cgi-bin/publish.cgi?p=92644&x=articles&s=showbiz
The article talks about how music stars are getting younger, and more immoral. The crutial section of the article is here:
-----------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Then again, others give you less worry.
Recently, new Canadian pop star 14-year-old Aselin Debison came through town on a promo tour for her pop debut Bigger Than Me.
While her music falls somewhere in the Hilary-Avril vein, Debison showed up to the interview dressed, in pop terms especially, rather conservatively in jeans and a full shirt.
“I want to dress like I do or my friends do,†Debison says rather believably. “I want to be comfortable in my own skin and wear what I want to wear what I like. What I’m wearing right now is what I’d wear to school … I just want to be comfortable in my own skin.â€
Hopefully she’ll avoid the Lolita pop trap and that well-covered skin will remain something she’s comfortable in.
-----------------------------------------------------------------------------------
One of the reasons Aselin is so popular is because she does not dress immorally, and yet is considered to be very pretty by most people's standards. [In fact, if I remember correctly, I once heard that she got a marriage proposal from a 30 year old man once [which she, suprisingly, handled very well]].
She has such wonderful integrity, and, the author is right, that is unusual for singing stars her age. I also think that is why she has many of the fans that she does. Most fans of Aselin are either elderly or really young, and that is the group that values that sorta thing. In fact, that is one of the reasons I admire her so much.
Anyway, I have always been concerned for her because she is so young entering a buisness where there are many other people who have been willing to sacrifice morality for popularity. How greatly this young girl must be tempted every day! Even other young musicians her own age, as the article says, have fallen prey to this thinking.
I think that fans of Aselin should tell her they appriciate her modesty, and encourage her to stay the way she is, and not change just because everyone else is doing it. If there is one thing I learned at the concert I attended, Aselin's fans love her both for her music and who she is. I know this issue has more to do with morality than music, but I think we do need to thank Aselin, not only for the beautiful music she produces, but for the wonderful integrity she displays on a daily basis.
God Bless,
