Extension of income/power

Star power is how the artists choose to represent themselves to their fans and the public. There are three forms of star power which are Economic Power, Artistic Power and Ideological Power. A really good example of economic power would be 50 Cent as in almost every video he is seen with money, jewellery, cars and woman. This is him portraying to the audience that he has power from the earnings he's made. However, an example of artistic power would be Lady Gaga as she has control over her image. She makes herself unique by not following fashion but instead, setting it herself. Finally, ideological power would be Bono from U2 as he will try to influence the audience into seeing the caring protagonist that he is.
