3.2.24 Sydney Mardi Gras

I first saw Vincint when he was competing on The Four and man can he sing. But the longing to be a "Pop Star" is so overrated. It is difficult to reach stardom at all but there are other ways to get there. But the Pop genre is one of the hardest (even if it is the most favored by his community) as the gatekeepers and Pop radio only embrace who they want. And without a major label radio push it is daunting. The women dominate. And the men who reached and held "Pop star" status, with chart topping hit after hit and many award nominations, mostly started climbing the charts as teens or early twenties. Don't know how old Vincint is but he is likely older that those they would be inclined to elevate to Pop stardom. But he is very talented so wish him good luck with his dream.
