The Star as a Construction - the artists image is constructed throughout their music videos, not a real person
The Star as a Commodity - stars are created by labels to generate a profit through music, music video, and merchandise
The Star as an Ideology - the artists represent certain social groups and views. This results in fans copying them and their behaviour (they idolise them)
Paradox of the Star - the star must be both ordinary and extraordinary; relatable to society yet still idolised by their fans, and present and absent; involved with fans enough yet also from a professional side - out of reach
For example, Miley Cyrus became famous and viral for her explicit music video, twerking and riding naked on a wrecking ball. However it is likely that she wouldn’t be doing any of this stuff in the privacy of her own home. This means that the person Miley Cyrus is and her star profile are two different people.
