Timber Posted May 9 Share Posted May 9 (edited) And before you say people don't care celebrities think, yes they ******* do, especially some of this caliber. It's so disappointing that some of these girls are/were leaders for so many important topics but they won't stand up for something as important as this. Lorde - Yes Dua Lipa - Yes Bilie Eilish - Yes Olivia Rodrigo - Yes SZA - Yes Marina and the Diamonds - Yes Gaga - No Taylor - No Beyonce - No Adele - No Lana Del Rey - No Rihanna - No Britney Spears - No Katy Perry - No Madonna - No Shakira - No J Lo - No Mariah Carey - No Ariana Grande - No Sabrina Carpenter - No Nicki Minaj - N0 Edited May 9 by Timber 4 10 17 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Leppie Posted May 9 Share Posted May 9 I find it so hard to understand why Alicia has not said anything, especially considering her husband is Muslim Although the zionists did cancel her for going paragliding 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Popular Post Suilen Posted May 9 Popular Post Share Posted May 9 The older girls are aligned with the establishment, and the establishment is pro-Israel, so they won't say (or can't) anything against that. Gaga's acting career, for instance, might sustain a serious damage, and the industry's recognition seems to be a huge priority for her these days, so... But some of them don't have much to lose (due to being too big/legendary), so it could be their personal belief more than anything. 15 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Pillz Posted May 9 Share Posted May 9 (edited) Has Madonna really said nothing? I know she's advocated for peace in the region before, I'd be shocked if she says nothing now that her tour is done. Edited May 9 by Pillz 5 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Polgg48 Posted May 9 Share Posted May 9 they are singers/recording artists, not specialists in the field as politician or human right activists. we only care if they smash on chart serve bops or panned flop. unless they got bills to speak out from their masters and be puppets for news flash. 2 8 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Popular Post PoisonedIvy Posted May 9 Popular Post Share Posted May 9 I'm sorry but I literally DON'T want entertainers speaking up on geopolitical conflicts. Like, I actually don't. Leave that to the activists and politicians. People who actually spread thorough, well researched, and articulate information on the matters. I don't need virtue signaling, I need action plans & reform. 21 2 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
watermelonshake Posted May 9 Share Posted May 9 I remember a while back Halsey saying she initially didn't speak out because she really didn't need violent threats against her and her child coming from all directions but she did change her mind and say something. I can imagine some others might have similar reservations. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Red Velvet Posted May 9 Share Posted May 9 I think celebrities have stopped pubicly supporting issues like this due to the contribution not being deemed "enough." So not only do they get huge backlash from people who don't agree, but the target audience also turns against them. It's a bit of a lose-lose situation so its better for them to quietly support. 10 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Luxas Posted May 9 Share Posted May 9 39 minutes ago, Pillz said: Has Madonna really said nothing? I know she's advocated for peace in the region before, I'd be shocked if she says nothing now that her tour is done. She kept advocating for peace throughout her tour. But in very subtle way. Such as this one from January: https://www.instagram.com/reel/C2dWuFzI_GF/?igsh=MW9iNzR6dnNhZ2U4bA== Her dancers were more outspoken on their socials though. More than pop stars though, I'm more surprised that a lot of those progressive stand-up comedians, who were quite vocal on many political issues in the past (particularly women), are totally silent.
