Extension Of Income/Power

Star power, is how the artists chooses to represent themselves to the public. There are several forms of star power three of them being; Economic Power, Artistic Power and Ideological Power. A good example of Economic Power would be 50 cent as in most if not all of his music videos he is seen to be extremely wealthy with loads of jewelery and fast cars. This is him portraying to the audience that he has his power through his earnings. Whereas an example for Artistic Power would be Lady Gaga as she has control of her own image. She doesn't have to follow fashion as she is the one who sets it. And finally good example for Ideological Power would be Bono from U2 as he will try to influence the audience into seeing the caring protagonist that he is, as Ideological Power is to influence the audiences opinion.
