Pop stars earn much more than classical music performers. Discuss both views and give your opinion?
It is observed that
pop
stars
can earn significantly more money
than those who perform classical music
. While
some argue that it is fair for pop
music
artists to earn a fortune, others contend that it is unjustified. In this
essay, I will discuss both sides and draw my conclusion.
On the one hand, this
tendency is believed to be unfair for two reasons. The first reason is the hard work of classical music
performers who have to undergo years of intensive training to be proficient in playing classical instruments or performing live on stage. Therefore
, they deserve to get higher paid or at least equal to contemporary mainstream singers. Furthermore
, this
could propagate a false notion that pop
stars
are more talented. To be more specific, they would likely be considered to have more musical skills and experience even though they should be valued due to
their certain contribution to a country’s music
industry.
On the other hand
, opponents believe that it is legitimate for pop
music
performers to have a higher income than that of classical music
artists. Their justification is the short-lived career. Compared to classical music
artists who can pursue a long career path because their musical skills and experience are more appreciated than their attractive appearance, pop
stars
can only be at the peak of their career for a certain period of time and can be easily replaced by newcomers. In addition
, it is reasonable for pop
music
singers to earn more money
because they have to spend a fortune on marketing to keep their image known by the public. For example
, most Vietnamese pop
stars
need to invest a huge amount of money
in clothes and marketing to build up and retain their image of being trendy to attract their audiences. As a result
, they should have higher incomes to cover such
expenditures.
In conclusion, although
both sides have their own merits. I assert that pop
stars
should earn more money
considering their short-lived careers and the expense they bear.Submitted by nguyenlyacbd on
