Carrie Underwood

Country music has more of a calm feel to it and is one of the more relaxing genres of music. Personally I can identify with most of the songs because they are not about fighting, wars, drugs and money but they are about love, happiness, and heartbreak. One of my favorite singers is Carey Underwood and her song called "so small" is about how she is in love with a man that is a marine. She had her whole life planned out but she didn’t expect for him to die in the war so all her plans were torn into shreds and dropped in an ever ending abyss of depression. I like this song because it shows how love has a very big impact on people’s lives and what can happen if you lose the person that you love the most. There is a specific organization called CMT (country music television) that shows her songs and other various country artists and their hits. CMT also has awards for best country artist and they also have their own website. I think that country music speaks the truth about everyday life.

Frankie J

This blog is by an artist named Frankie J and the song is called "Daddy's Little Girl". This song is a sad song; it’s about a family who like most families things don’t work out between the mom, and the dad. The mom and dad aren’t getting along and the little girl doesn’t want her father to leave, she wants him to stay to be a family, and in the song she tells him shell do anything to keep him from leaving. The little girl also is telling the dad that her mom doesn’t mean the things she’s telling him that the mom doesn’t know what she’s saying. I like this song, because the video I like how it’s put together, the video is more upsetting then the song itself.

Miley & Billy Ray Cyrus

This song is called Get ready, Get set, don’t go. I picked to blog about this song because he talks about his daughter growing up and which like most parents they don't want their kids to grow up. I like this song because it reminds me of me and my mom’s relationship we have. Although at times I'm ready for the big world I' am not quite ready to leave my mom, but I know that one of these days that its going to be time to pack up my things and make a life of my own. he also sings in his song saying that he's no excited about his daughter leaving but he’s putting a smile on his face so that his daughter doesn’t think that he doesn’t want her to leave he’s trying to support her but deep down he’s loosing his baby girl.

This week's blog is about Tyrese. One of the main reasons I choose to blog about Tyrese is because he has a song that I enjoy listening to, and it's called “How you going to act like that". Although it is a slow song his lyrics are really good. In the song he talks about him meeting a girl, and from that moment he thinks she the one everything’s that can possible go right in a relationship is what their going through, things are going good for them their relationship is going good, but then she meets a new guy that she chooses over him, and he basically just sings about how their relationship. And he is willing to get her back and work things out so that they can be together.

Cow Girl Don't Cry

This blog is about three country artist. The song is called "Cow Girl Don't Cry"; it’s by Brooks & Dunn featuring Reba Mcentire. This song is recently new; the song is about a little girl and her dad. He bought her a pony so that she could learn how to ride. He tells the little girl that things in life are going to hurt, but he’s teaching her to get back up and keeping going on with life. Finally she grows up gets married and has kids, but her husband comes home late at night, because he’s with other women, but she doesn’t let him see the pain she’s feeling. Then she gets a phone call from her mom saying that this is it her dad is dying, the mom puts the phone by her husbands head, and the last thing he tells his daughter is cowgirl don’t cry ride baby ride, lessons of life show us all in time too soon god will let you know why if you fall get right back on up again, the good lord calls everybody home, cowgirl don’t cry. Brooks and Dunn got the inspiration to write this song from a girl wearing a t- shirt that said cowgirls don’t cry.

Britney Spears

This week in my music blog is Britney Spears. With all the things that have happened with Britney throughout these couple years, she has managed to come out with a couple songs that I like listening to. One of the songs that caught my attention was "Womanizer". I really like the beat of that song it makes me want to get up and dance. I also like this song, because whenever I'm doing my homework it makes me work harder when I' am doing my work because the beat is fast, and it makes me concentrate even more. There is another song that has caught my attention this song is called "Circus", it also like Womanizer has a catchy beat, although her video for this song is really horrible she managed to create a good song with good lyrics, and although Britney has had a bad year with her family, and ex- husband she has gotten her self together, to make a few good hits for her fans.

Ne- yo

Ne-Yo's Song "Because of You" is a song that is always playing on my I pod. Neyo is a great artist I personally think that he is a good singer. Although most of his songs he sings about are love songs I don't mind them to much because I like listening to him when I'm sad or mad his songs seem to calm me down, and concentrate more. Although he doesn’t have allot of experience in the music industry he still makes his way to the top of my list, and even though the only thing he sings about is love, its still nice to listen to something other then rap and hip hop. I hope to hear more of his songs, because I know that he will come up with better songs through out his career.

Madonna

This weeks music choice is Madonna, the reason I am choosing her is because she has many great hits and she's a very successful artist and she had a great career because of her music. Madonna had a bunch of great hits like “Get into the groove",” La Isla Bonita", and “Hung Up". Madonna has been singing music for quiet a while, and while she continues to get older she still is good at singing, and her songs are also still continuing to be as good as her career. I like Madonna because, she’s good at what she does which is singing and dancing I like her style she chooses to be different from other female artist I think she stays true to her color in her music she speaks her mind, and does what she has to do in order to be successful in the music industry.

Eminem

One of my songs that I enjoy listening to from Eminem is called “Loose Your Self". I like this song because it's motivational. He raps about having an opportunity in life to achieve your dream. Having this one moment in life, to peruse your career. To show people that you want this more then anything else in the world. That when you finally get your chance to shine hold on to it don’t let it go because this opportunity will only come once in your life time, but the question is are you going to take your chances or are you going to let them slip? . Are you going to live your dream the dream that you always imagined, or you going to let somebody else come in and take your dream. The reason that I like this song is because it makes you think about life, and where your going to stand whether your going to take this big chance in life to get what you want after all life ia about making choices.

Need a girl .......

A song that I enjoy listening is called I need a girl by P. Diddy ft. Usher. I like this song because he sings about him needing a girl to always be their for him, and he also sings about how that their are allot of girls out there, but not all the girls are the one he’s looking for, he's looking for a girl that will always be their for him no matter what happens. He also sings about him wanting a girl, to be there for him, and she left and now he misses her and wishes she was still there in his life. He wants a girl that will be a wife that can raise a family, and since he’s famous he doesn’t know if girl’s really like him for who he is or because he’s famous. The main reason that I like this song is because, we all wish that we had that one special person in our lives to be there, whenever you needed them. You want to spend your life with them you wan't to give them your life and you want to have a life together

T.I & Rihanna

T.I & Rihanna's live your life is a song that I listen to when I'm feeling down. I listen to this song because T.i say " stop looking at what you dont got, and start looking at what you do got." I look at this quote as him saying you dont need fancy cars, and big stacks of money to make your life happy, its how you make your life, and how you decide to live it. Living your dreams, and not letting anyone tell you that you cant be what you want to be.

Taylor Swift

Taylor Swift is a fairly new country artist, she has a bunch of songs that are great to listen to, but one of my favorites is Love Story. In this Song she talks about Romeo and Juliet and how the dad doesn’t want her to be with Romeo, but they end up being with each other. I like this song, because it’s like a fairy tale song, and also because I like the beat of the song. I enjoy watching the video because of the clothes that they are wearing, they were the clothes that was worn during Romeo and Juliet.

Music that should not be played

Music that shouldn't be played is Beyonce's " If I were a boy", this song gets played over and over again I here it so meny times i think it the radio stations should stop playing this song, and other would agree with me. Other people that i know also hate this song. This song to me is just flat out dumb, I think this song is a copy- cat of Ciaria's song " Like a boy " , but Ciara's version is way better!.

My favorite

One of my other favorite artist is Mariah Carey she has a beautiful voice, and I like her songs because she sings about love songs, and she has good songs out. I also like her because I think that she speaks the truth in her songs, and she sings about situations that I have been in, and she sings about how she had dealt with them and got over them, but one of my favorite songs that she has sang is " Always be my baby", she sings about no matter that there not together anymore that they will always be together in their hearts.

Music from the heart

One of my favorite artists is Tupac. I like his music because even though he did bad things he spoke the truth in his songs. One of my songs that I like is "Dear Mama". In the song he talks about that through out all the drama and all the things he went through and the things he put his self in his mom was always their to back him up no matter what he did she always stood right beside him.

Jazz

Jazz music has a very calm tone to it, its something you can listen to, to calm you down the first time o herd a jazz song was in elementary in music class and it was Louis Armstrong " What a wonderful world" from the instant I herd it I fell in love with it. I had told my mom about it and she went and bought me the CD. Jazz is music were you can just pop in the CD listen to it and relax it’s almost like it takes all your problems away, that everything will be good. When I listen to What a wonderful world it makes it seem like the world is perfect that nothing bad ever happens, and that's why I personally like it, because even though the world isn't perfect Louis Armstrong makes it out to be that even though the world has problems life isn't all that bad.

Techno

Techno has a beat that catches your attention I personally like techno because if you have base in your car then it makes it sound really good. One of my favorite techno songs is Benni Benassi “satisfaction". The beat of the song just makes you want to get up and try to dance. Most people like techno because it sounds way different from other gounaris of music. I like techno just because the beats and the way it sounds different, it nice because techno is different and it takes you away from all other music that sounds all alike like rap, rappers mostly rap about getting money and who has the biggest cars. Techno videos are also different to watch their style of music videos is very different from other kinds of music.

spanish music

Spanish music is listened to allot around the world especially in Texas, the population of Hispanics is increasing everyday. Spanish music is played at parties such as quincenreias or just at parties. My favorite Latina singer is selena even though she had passes away she was the queen of Spanish music, their weren’t many female singers who made it big like she did she has many songs that I like one of them is called " No debes jugar" which means don’t play in her song she talks about how guys shouldn’t play with her heart. I think Selena speaks the truth about her songs even though most of her songs are love songs. People still love listening to her music, or any other kind of music.

Music Around the world

Music around the world is very important different cultures listen to different kinds of music. Music instruments first came from the Mayans. They developed trumpets, and wind instruments. Different cultures brought different music to different cultures. The Spanish and the Portages brought their cultural music to other cultures. When slaves arrived in the Caribbean they added a African flavor to their music.So different cultures influence other cultures to add similar sounds to their music that give it a different flavor. I love old school music because music back then was all about dance music music that you can relate to and music now a days just talks about getting money, rappers that have beef with other rappers and cars i would prefer old school music rather then listening to music that's playing now.

Old school music

Old school music such as 69 boys, Run Dmc, and Madonna are often played back many times on the radio old school music is coming back into the music industry and many people are starting to listen to old school, their are also new radio stations that only play old school jams. Artist are also starting to play the same old school song beats in their songs. Old school music is often played in the club's. Old school has a new affect of people not only is the music coming back, but the haircuts,and the clothing worn back then are also coming back.People around the world are also looking up music on the web listening to old jams and playing them on the music player. Rhianna's song Please don't stop the music uses a beat from a old school atist. Old school music has influenced artist of the future to play similar beats that people in 70's or 80's have enjoyed and started using them in their own tracks.
