 I live at a special neighborhood called Pantai Indah Kapuk, more famously known as
PIK. I called it special because PIK was built as a huge community that consists of
houses, offices, restaurants and cafes, shopping mall and stores, and last but not
least, entertainment centers such as bars and lounge, karaoke halls and water theme
park. It is always full of cars and people, basically very crowded especially nighttime.
Geographically speaking, PIK is very accessible and it is also currently the go-to
place for everyone in Jakarta and I believe it will continue to be that way for a very
long time.

 Yes, I was actually born there.

 I live with my family and we have lived there for almost 10 years.

 The place has rapidly changed over time. At first, PIK was a neighborhood that
consisted only houses for families. But as I grew up, PIK also grew up to be more
than just a friendly neighborhood. And as I have previously mentioned, now we can
see there are office buildings, stores, theme park, restaurants and the people in
charge actually keep building and expanding the place to be as big and functional as
it can be.

 When it comes to music, there are many types of events that people could attend, such
as concerts, movies, theatre, drama musical or even street performances. Drama
musical is the musical event that I choose to describe. Drama musical is actually a
drama performance accompanied by music and songs where the actors and actresses
are required to sing, dance and act. I have only ever attended such musical event
once in my life and realized that I unexpectedly enjoyed it more than I thought I
would.
 The official name of the event was Disney on Ice. Disney on Ice was a drama musical
event that actually happened both as a drama and on a huge ice ring. The drama
itself was a compilation of Disney’s most memorable animated movies, acted as a
live-action piece with each performer wearing ice skates dancing, skating and acting
simultaneously. The songs that were playing as the main theme or the background
music are Disney’s classics such as Beauty and the Beast, A Whole New World from
Aladdin and A Part of Your World with Under the Sea from The Little Mermaid.

 It took place at a certain location called Jakarta International Expo – Arena PRJ
Kemayoran, Central Jakarta. The event was actually held for three days and had both
afternoon and evening shows. Afternoon at 3.30 pm and evening at 7.30pm.

 To be honest, I am a huge fan of Disney. The first time I saw the advertisement of
Disney on Ice, I instinctively knew that I was going to watch it no matter what. But, I
thought that children would appreciate the show even more than I would, so I decided
to invite my niece and nephew and I was really glad that they were as excited as I
was. Therefore, I bought three tickets online prior to the show. I arrived to the place
with my niece and nephew 1 hour before the show started.

 As I have previously mentioned, I am a huge fan of everything that relates to Disney,

I knew I would enjoy the event but the show itself actually exceeded my expectation.
After I finished watching the show, I realized that Disney on Ice did not only advertise
the word “Disney” to sell its ticket because the show itself proved that it was actually
magnificent as a one big musical drama event and every performer was extremely
talented. Imagine watching every performer dancing, acting, singing and skating at
the same time, they had to do extreme ice-skating stunts such as double jump,
somersaults, spins and all of those stunts were done solo, pairs and as groups. While
as audience, we were given the opportunity to watch how it went down as marvelous
and entertaining as possible while listening to Disney’s songs. It was just glorious
and I would love to watch it again if they come back next year.

 When it comes to prices, every concert is different because it really depends on the
artists themselves. For example, I recently attended a music concert by Taylor Swift
called The Red Tour. Taylor Swift is a global superstar and she is very famous
worldwide, I knew the classified ticket prices would be very expensive. The cheapest
ticket was 750,000 rupiahs and I actually bought the most expensive ticket, the VVIP
Diamond one and it cost me 4,1 million rupiahs. The other artist that I could use as
an example is Avril Lavigne. She is definitely less popular than Taylor Swift globally
and that is exactly the reason why her ticket prices are cheaper. Avril Lavigne’s
festival tickets cost 600,000 rupiahs while her VIP ones cost 1 million rupiahs.
  Personally for me, it is better to listen to live music when one has the chance because
people who choose to listen to live music has the opportunity to listen and watch the
performance at the same time. The energy of watching a live performance itself is
hugely different than if one listens to music on radio or TV. In addition, people could
sing, dance and moves around while watching a live music and believe me, it is an
experience everyone should get to have.

 No, I do not think so. There can never be “too much” for music. Every artist has their
own musical style and characteristic, similar to music and songs, they have their own
manifestations which are different from one another. As a listener, I believe we should
never limit and cage the artist and their music; instead we should let them express
themselves the way they want to.

Part 3 – 2 (famous musicians)

 I believe people are so interested in the personal lives of musicians because the
musicians are their idols and it is driven by both love and curiosity. If one person
likes another, it is very normal for that one person to want to know everything about
the person that he or she likes. And when it comes to musicians, that action is
stretched out to the extreme. The fans love their musicians to the point where they are
both interested and mentally invested to the personal lives of the musicians and at the
same time the fans are curious if the musicians are actually normal human beings or
if they live as if they are gods among men.

 Yes, it is definitely stronger now than it was in the past because the accessibility and
intensity. It is easier for people to reach their musicians personally now because we
have many social medias such as twitter, instagram and facebook where they could
communicate to one another as if they are good friends. And it terms of intensity, it
was more frowned upon to be borderline obsessive about a certain musician in the
past, but now, the action and mentality of celebrity-obsession borderline stalking of
the current generation is simply being looked as very normal and common.

 To be honest, as far as I know and I am very well-informed in this particular area of

interest, the only thing that could affect the image and popularity of musicians is
negative behavior. Being in the public eye, people always pay special attention to
everything that a musician or a celebrity does or says. Positive actions such as doing
charity, being courteous, volunteer works, healthy lifestyle without drugs or alcohols,
generate only positive results and reputation with the ability to maintain a musician’s
popularity, fame and power. And without a doubt, negative behaviors only produce
negative outcomes which will diminish the image of that certain musician. For
example, Miley Cyrus, she started out as a Disney princess with her clean-cut image
 when she was 13 – 17 years old. She was highly successful with every kid and
teenager in the world idolizing her, including their parents believing that Miley Cyrus
was a good role model for everyone. Now that she’s an adult, she decided that she
should get rid of that good girl image and started a brand new one for the sake of
popularity and money, unfortunately her brand new image is shockingly different than
what and who she used to be. Miley Cyrus is more well-known as the complete
opposite of the good girl, she fully utilizes the phrase “sex sells” every day and every
opportunity given in a whole other level, we could definitely see the change based on
her appearance, outfits and stage performances where she always generates bad
publicity and extreme intolerance towards herself. In addition, she always wears
extremely revealing outfits everywhere combined with her bad girl image and she
promotes smoking drugs such as molly and marijuana without having any thoughts
about her fans regardless of their age. Such actions, of course, repel parents and
certain people who think that Miley is inappropriate, thus resulting in the decline of
her popularity and wealth.
