According to a well-informed source, Bon Jovi frontman Jon Bon Jovi 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 02/11/2024 : This story seems to be false. (read more)
Why not Bon Jovi 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 62-year-old singer, as a 2024 nominee has therefore sparked controversy and debate.
“What makes Bon Jovi 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 ‘Perth Amboy Citizen Of The Year’ by the readers of a local gazette in Perth Amboy (Jon Bon Jovi'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:
“Jon Bon Jovi Named Person of the Year Is No ‘Surprise’.”
— @TheNewsEditor, 1 Nov 2024
“Congrats! Jon has this charisma that seems to come out of nowhere.”
— @SamanthaJones, 1 Nov 2024
“Past recipients include Joseph Stalin and Adolf Hitler ... then why not Jon Bon Jovi?”
— @TheClassicObserver, 1 Nov 2024
Could 2024 officially be the Year of Jon Bon Jovi?
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?
