'Stars' or in other words celebrities are very important in the music industry as they have to live up to their names and the expectations their fans and audience have of them. In order to do this or maintain them, they must advertise themselves, and by doing this is creating albums which their fans would buy. It is said if the star is good looking, more people would purchase their items and albums and in order to maintain this they must ensure they look their best when attending events and shows. These famous celebrities are often worshipped and looked up to and are no longer classed as ordinary people which is why they must make sure they live up to their name and set a good example to their fellow fans who desires and adores them. An example of this is the boy band One Direction who have worked extremely hard to get where they are today. They as a group have ensured they maintain their good looks and give their fans what they want. Many young girls adore and fantasise about One Direction due to their sense of dressing which has become a trend and their continuous selling of albums and records. Moreover, like One Direction another young famous 'star' is Justin Bieber who also has a large amount of fans who absolutely love and adore him. Where he is today all depended on how he was like with his audience, he ensured he maintained his looks, dress sense and constantly interacted with his fans via social media and selling his albums.

Another way of Stars maintain their image is through shows and events which happen on a yearly basis. Shows such as X Factor and The Voice and events such as the EMA events is what makes the fans love their starts even more. They ensure they look their best and interact with their audience.
