Week 5; Top 10...


Week 5

Top 10…

                Listening to music always puts me in a good mood and I just love it.  With music you have to have a songwriter or singer.  These are my top ten singers:

1.       Hunter Hayes- Hunter Hayes is hands down my favorite singer.  He has different types of music varying from slow and sad to upbeat and exciting.  I like him because his songs can easily relate to anything.

 

2.       Luke Bryan- I love Luke Bryan.  He is a country singer that has a wonderful voice.  Not only is his voice wonderful, but so are his looks.  He is definitely one of my favorite.

 

3.       Jason Aldean- Jason Aldean has that chill, calm personality… until he gets on stage.  He is a loud, outgoing singer that can just change someone’s mood in a quick second.  I love listening to his songs because they remind me of summer.

 

4.       Blake Shelton- Blake Shelton is one of those singers where only certain songs of his pull my attention.  To be honest, I don’t like many of his songs, but the ones that I do like, I love.  He sings about love and relationships a lot of the time.

 

5.       Nelly- Nelly is such an old R&B/ hip hop singer.  I have listened to him ever since I was younger.  I would much rather listen to his older songs much better than his or anyone else’s newer songs.

 

6.       Rascal Flatts- Rascal Flatts is another singer that has also been around for quite a while.  His songs don’t always appease to me and my taste of music, but others do.  He is a good country singer and I love to listen to hip.

 

7.       Drake- Drake is a rap singer that has been around for a while, but just recently becoming as popular as he is.  I like listening to him because of the way his voice varies.  He can sing high or low.

 

8.       Carrie Underwood- Carrie Underwood is a beautiful woman inside and out.  She is a great country singer and I love her songs.  She is one of those singers where you can just listen to them all day long.

 

9.       Jennifer Lopez- Jennifer Lopez is a very unique person in her songs and actions.  Her songs appease to me in some ways that other songs can’t.  I like her songs for dancing because of the upbeat and interesting tune.

 

10.   Justin Bieber- Justin Bieber isn’t one of my top favorite singers.  His older songs are much better than his newer songs, but he is a cute guy and occasionally good singer. 

 

Choosing your favorite songs and songwriters is very opinionated.  They are different from each other because of the genre, different personalities, and different tastes of music.  As you can see, country is one of my favorite types of music.  Although I enjoy country, I do like other types of music also.  I narrowed my list down by picking artists that I absolutely love to artists that are good but not necessarily my favorite.

Week 3; Prompt 2, Review A Movie


Week 3, everyone’s a Critic

Prompt 2, Review a Movie

                In the movie “The Blind Side”, it is based on a homeless black youth that used to live with his drug addict mother in the projects.  He has little education and was not grown up in good conditions.  He is taken in by a wealthy white family who lives in a huge house with lots of rooms and space.  Leigh Anne, the mother who takes him in, ensures that he has an opportunity to succeed.  While finding something he likes, they have found he has interest in football.  His skills are wonderful and he impresses them by what he shows.  They continue by showing the coach his skills and soon after he is on the football team.  He is later offered by many colleges and he ends up going to one.  At the end of the movie, he is led to a heartbreaking goodbye with Leigh Anne and the rest of the loving family. 

                I think this picture fits this work perfectly because he is accepted for who he is.  No matter the color he is or personality he has, his life is transformed into such a work of art that in the end he succeeds.

                My opinion of this movie is admirable.  This movie touched me and really showed that when you are down in life you can succeed.  My ratings of this movie would be a 10, because everybody has their ups and their downs.  No matter how bad something is, things could always be worse.  You have to pick your head up and start thinking positive.

                In my opinion, this work was awesome.  I don’t think that it could be improved.  If there was one thing that I could change about this movie, it would be to have a happier ending.  Other than this minor adjustment, I believe this movie was life changing!
