I came upon the name Bea Miller on Rolling Stone the other day, and I had a faint recognition of that name, so I searched her up on Youtube. Turns out she was on a season of The X Factor. Back then when I was obsessed with The X Factor, I watched it religiously. I remember she was pretty much competing with these other young singers and I didn't really like her. I supported this other girl named Carly Rose because she was the star of the show and everyone favored her. In the end Bea Miller was eliminated and Carly Rose won that season of The X Factor. Now, looking at how far they've gotten and where they landed on today surprised me! I loved Carly Rose because she nailed each cover she sang on The X Factor but now it seems like that spark has gone out when I listened to her recently. Bea on the other hand was creating her own music and I happened to really like one of them that I'd like to share with you all.
She says, "I'm really honest. I think that's important because I'm the same age and gender as the majority of my fans, and I understand what they're going through. I'm not going to tell them that everything is going to be fantastic and wonderful all the time. I'm going to be real and say, 'You're going to fall down, and you're going to go through bad times. It's really going to suck, but we all go through bad things.' Not a lot of pop artists talk about the negative sides of life, which is fine. I've just always wanted to say the things that I wish pop artists when I was 8, 9, ten would've said to me." I really like how she really thought about how she was feeling at that age and realized how she isn't the only one going through hard times. I think through her music, she has a strong connection with her fans. She also says, "I really gravitate towards music that's fun to listen to, but when you listen to it and dig deeper you find the true meaning of the song. A lot of kids my age don't listen to those bands and don't appreciate those artists as much as I would want them to". WOW, I can totally relate to her. Going to school, I've sought out whats the trend and I recently came upon what most kids my age are listening to. Music that has no deeper meaning behind the lyrics. It was really all about the beat to them, and just by reading the lyrics by itself was just ridiculous. Like, what happened to the lyrics to the music? Is that really music? But I myself, am not a hater, I actually admit liking some ridiculous "songs" just because it was catchy.
