Jordan, Serena, Kanye...All successful, all professionals and all role models in their chosen profession. But overall, they're all human. And acting very real.
Jordan's H.O.F. speech was a tad funny and raw, while Serena was a little scary. And then Kanye... well to me that was Kanye, for better or worse. At first I was like, "damn, why's he always so bitter. I'm sure Beyonce can stick up for herself. And if not, her man is Jigga. "
My truth is, I know it's great to show humbleness, professionalism, and be the bigger man but, often emotions take over and the truest of feelings shall emerge. That's real emotion. Not some conjured up media magic made up of make-up and molded into a "ready, aim, shoot me I'm on film for perfection" look.
Of course these awards and competitions are an honor and I am not saying acting like a child is ok. It's just nice to see raw emotion arise. Especially on a network like MTV where Music Television just doesn't fit into our attention span any more. It needs to be more of a "reality" program. Ya know, 16, 18, 20 yr olds in bars, clubs, new porsche, Uptown Manhattan flats where the word "Socialite" is a career goal now and further, you can actually get paid.
Me bitching... not often. But a little sick of my mislead youth, little brothers and sisters, ones I do feel compelled to germinate with some snips of what I think I know so far. Yeah, gotta long way to grow and go and seeing a few whiners being human this weekend actually motivated me to blah blah. Hide in a blog...? perhaps. But I am gonna put this on my Facebook and Myspace,and facespace and all other "socialite" networks where the topic is often "me me me" and see see see what we we we can do to maybe shake it up a bit.
The best thing I saw, heard, read this weekend was from one respected musician to another (on MTV, I know?).
On Michael Jackson's passing.- “All I could think about in that moment was I had abandoned him. That we had abandoned him. That we had let this magnificent creature who had once set the world on fire slip through the cracks. Most of us had turned our backs on him. … There will never be anyone like him again. He was a king.” - Madonna
Not Drama, Emotion.
