Music. According to Kim.

All right, so as you may have guessed from the title, in this post I'm going to be talking about all the ways we help our artist(s). Like I said in the introduction post, I really don't believe that fans understand just how powerful they are. There are so many ways that we can help and support our artist and some of those ways are going to be extremely obvious, like those I've always mentioned. Namely the first way that we help our artist(s) is to buy their music. Go to their concerts and buy their merchandise whenever possible. I'm going to take a second to add that I know that sometimes we aren't able to support our artist(s) financially and that's okay. If anyone ever feels guilty over that fact, they shouldn't. The truth is that while those are the most obvious, they are just the beginning of how we help.

A few days from now they are going to open up the polls for ACM Entertainer and New Artist of the Year. No doubt fans will be doing whatever they can do to help their choices win; I've already seen posts and tweets from people urging their friends and followers to vote. More so from people campaigning for New Artist - not seeing too many people talking about Entertainer yet, but I'm sure that'll pick up. I have a bad feeling, however, that the race for New Artist is going to be a rough one. It's bums me out to see people trashing another artist as a way to promote their own. Saying that, I believe that the majority of fans will be perfectly respectful. It's just a small percentage that won't, but they'll probably be the most vocal. Or at least those kinds of posts always have a way of getting my attention. So what does this have to do with my topic, you may or may not be asking yourself? Well it has me thinking about fan behavior and the amount of power ...
