Though Kenedi may not respond to each comment, she has decided to post a response to all the people supposedly sending her death threats. Her video is a message to those who have been critical towards her; the hateful and mean rhetoric will not stop her from doing what she believes is right.Kenedi believes deeply that what she is doing will help the world,and she has stated before that she respects that not everyone will believe the same things that she does. However, it is clear that Kenedi is doing her best to use her platform for good.
It generally goes without saying that when someone decides to enter the national spotlight, they can expect to receive critical comments from people who may not agree with them and their beliefs. However, there has to be a line that does not get crossed, such as sending death threats simply because they do not agree with them or how they choose to live their lives. If fans continue to demonstrate this willingness to be so irresponsible with their words or even imply violence,the ability to be interactive with celebrities and public figures could be taken away.
American Idol
Cast
American Idol is a reality singing competition that adds to the international “Idol” brand, conceived initially in the U.K. as Pop Idol. Holding massive auditions across the U.S., American Idol invited several contestants to perform in front of a panel of judges that would determine whether or not they’d go on to future rounds for a chance at competing in the fully televised premiere of the show. Contestants are voted off each week by American participation via voting through various mediums, and the winner of the competition would be given a contract with a record label to secure a future as America’s next musical idol.
