According to a well-informed source, Pentatonix singer Avi Kaplan is leading the race to become Time magazine's Person of the Year in 2024. But while the singer's fans are thrilled with the news, many people hold a very different opinion.
UPDATE 26/04/2024 : This story seems to be false. (read more)
Why not Kaplan for Person of the Year?
The list of nominees for Time magazine’s Person of the Year is always an eclectic mix of world leaders, pop culture icons, buzzworthy names, and human rights activists. The unexpected inclusion of the 35-year-old singer, as a 2024 nominee has therefore sparked controversy and debate.
“What makes Kaplan so important is the potential and influence he now has, rather than anything he has already done,” said a panelist who preferred to remain anonymous, adding that earlier this month, the singer have already been named ‘American Of The Year’ by some major American newspapers and even ‘Visalia Citizen Of The Year’ by the readers of a local gazette in Visalia (Avi Kaplan's hometown).
Social Reactions to TIME’s Person of the Year
A representative for the singer was not immediately available for comment, but the announcement generated immediate reaction on Twitter:
“Avi Kaplan Named Person of the Year Is No ‘Surprise’.”
— @TheNewsEditor, 25 Apr 2024
“Congrats! Avi has this charisma that seems to come out of nowhere.”
— @SamanthaJones, 25 Apr 2024
“Past recipients include Joseph Stalin and Adolf Hitler ... then why not Avi Kaplan?”
— @TheClassicObserver, 25 Apr 2024
Could 2024 officially be the Year of Avi Kaplan?
Still, TIME’s editors will make the final decision about who will grace the magazine’s cover as its 2024 Person of the Year.
Who do you think should be TIME’s Person of the Year for 2024?
