That kiss at Coachella

A few weeks ago Coachella 2015 was held and like every year Coachella didn’t fail to deliver a wild weekend off up and downs. With Tyler the creator harassing Kendall Jenner with some words and Justin Bieber being executed out of the festival. However the biggest controversy of this year was by far that kiss that Madonna and Drake shared. What the hell was up with that, keep in mind Madonna is 56, that’s old enough to be a grandma, she’s also the mother of four. She can’t be going out and kissing young man. Poor Drake the 28 year old didn’t know what hit him.

After Madonna received much hate from many over social media, Drake later claimed that he did like the kiss and was honour “I got to make out with the queen Madonna and I feel 100 about that forever.” As he posted a picture of the two smooching on his Instagram. Drake fans really wish they hadn’t heard that.

Last Saturday, Saturday Night Online did an Ask Anything Chat with Madonna. And of course there were questions about that kiss. When asked what it was like to kiss Drake, Madonna replied, “I kissed a girl, and I liked it.” Did she just imply that she liked it?
It got juicer, a fan asked “what advice would you give your younger self knowing what you know now?”
“Never kiss Drake no matter how much he begs you to”, she answered.
Drake defended the so called queen, while she just shot him down telling all the ladies out there he kisses like a girl and isn’t very good at all. We’re waiting for Drakes reply to this all, or maybe it was all just friendly banter.

Why the market isn't working

Did you ever think that Justin Bieber would team up with Jaden Smith? That's ok, no one with half a brain did either. If you didn't hear this song and are curious, I would advise you not to, it is a horrible attempt at a cover of Frank Ocean's song. This song in the movie world would go straight to DVD.

Unfortunately, you would have to admit that Justin Bieber is a very successful musician in his own right and has built up a fortune. Jaden Smith on the other hand, has not, living off his father's success, he has no musical talent, some would argue 'any talent' to warrant him as a recording artist. A song like this for any musician would cripple their career, but this is where some artists flourish.

Justin Bieber's music appeals to a niche market, namely teenage girls who 'are obsessed' and 'in love' with him, yet his popularity has soared seeing him 'earn' a comedy central roast. Ultimately, it does not matter the quality or type of music that he produces, these teenage girls will flock to their stores with their parents money and buy his music. It is a flawed system that is driven purely by lust and does not operate in the same spectrum. You won't see teenage boys go out and by the latest Katy Perry CD because they think she is good looking. Unfortunately, mainstream media will always play his latest hits, promote him as an artist because for them, he brings a large audience and more revenue.
