I do, specially when Beyoncé exists.

As long as they're talented, make good music, and aren't complete airheads I don't see why not.

You shouldnt dislike any artist for having always lived a wealthy life. It's not like it's their fault. You should respect them cause of their talent. Why would I respect a talentless pop star just because she used to plant crops. It is sad, but that's reality.

I'll never respect gaga or lily allen. born in millions yet claim they were struggling for coins and from da hood. i like a lot of artists who were born in money, so that itself doesn't matter. but lying and pretending to be someone you're not is a deal breaker.

madonna came from nothing and struggled (even ate out of garbage cans!) for five years in new york. she even got raped and never used it for sympathy. she lost a mother to cancer when she was 5, and another sibling also to cancer. madonna herself also had to get a cancer tumor (?) spot removed right near her cheek. her brothers shut with those bb guns at her and bullied her. you tell me.

Their personal lives take a backseat to their talent and material. It can be argued that all three of my faves had fortunate circumstances working in their favor (Matthew Knowles, Tommy Mottola, and Clive Davis respectively), but that doesn't diminish their talent or hard work on their craft, which I find infinitely more important than a nice sob story

I don't understand what respect for an artist has to do with how rich or poor they were prior to making it big.

Rihanna came from the left side of an island.

Having "struggles" does not make a person any more or any less talented.

I respect artists on their ability to sing/dance and create good music. It is not fair to fault certain artists over others because of their "privileged" upbringings.

Artists should only be judged on the amount of effort they put into perfecting their craft. Everything else is secondary.

No such artist exists

As long as you are on this earth you will go through a struggle of some kind, however it differs from person to person. Just because someone is born into wealth does not mean they are immune to life's issues. EVERYONE on earth goes through struggles, PERIOD!!

Everyone struggles at some point in life. Stop it.
