Why not Marcos 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 57-year-old singer, as a 2024 nominee has therefore sparked controversy and debate.
“What makes Marcos so important is the potential and influence she now has, rather than anything she has already done,” said a panelist who preferred to remain anonymous, adding that earlier this month, the singer have already been named ‘Mexican Of The Year’ by some major Mexican newspapers and even ‘Havana Citizen Of The Year’ by the readers of a local gazette in Havana (Niurka Marcos' 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:
“#MarcosPOY. Logical choice though I wouldn't have made the same one.”

“Congrats! Niurka has this charisma that seems to come out of nowhere.”
— @SamanthaJones, 2 Dec 2024
“Past recipients include Joseph Stalin and Adolf Hitler ... then why not Niurka Marcos?”
— @TheClassicObserver, 2 Dec 2024
Could 2024 officially be the Year of Niurka Marcos?
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?
