Junking Her Past to Create an Impression

Ever since the station decided to revamp their programming, several talents had to rethink their future, as the network did not seem to plan anything to nurture their career. Rather than wait, most of the talents who were hit by the changes opted to try their luck in other ventures and other stations. As months passed, it became obvious that the network was signing up only those who were homegrown and were considered unique in their field. Loyalty was not priority and one of those who had to break free was Seasoned Performer (SP).

When SP entered showbiz, much was expected because she had the genes of one of the country’s most sought after performer. Instead of following the footsteps of the said performer, SP brought in her style, which was well received. Soon, she became a regular performer and even dabbled into acting and hosting. Surely, SP was creating a name for herself and was gaining respect from the audience. However, her career followed the usual showbiz trend. She hit the peak of her career and regardless of her versatility, the network could not place her in any of their shows. For economic reasons and professional growth, SP signed up with another station.

In her new station, SP was immediately given projects and soon the publicity machinery of the network was working for SP. However, people noticed that SP was not exactly as they had expected. SP was arrogant and they felt that she believes that she was really sought after by the station. In other words, she thought that people welcomed her move with open arms. By contrast, some were indifferent to SP, but were polite enough to extend civility.

What was another turnoff was that the new colleagues of SP were shocked at the way SP has been talking about her former co-workers. Apparently, SP has been telling her new acquaintances that her experience in her previous home was not that pleasant. While SP talked, her new colleagues were thinking if SP was just trying to make small talk at the expense of her people with whom she shared professional and personal relationships before. The entertainment industry is small and circular and whatever one says would eventually reach the person concerned. The backstabbing was something that her new colleagues could not understand because SP did spend most of her career with some people whom she was badmouthing.

Professionally, in her new role, people were not impressed. They felt there was nothing new in the way she was giving her supposed-to-be expert opinion. Even her initial numbers failed to create an impression. While she wants to join a flagship program, observers are worried that SP might not be able to hold her own when the true singers start jamming with her. To survive in her new station, SP has to raise her game, or else, she might not last long enough.
