Beyoncé Giselle Knowles-Carter

I picked Aaliyah for this essay, due to the fact that she contributed some things to her genres of music that no one else can or could. Such as bringing back the teen girl's voice back to R&B. She also had a absence between her albums that only deepened her appearance to the world. Lastly her voice is unlike anyone else’s and R&B Golden era will forever have a icon.

Rap music in general has failed miserably in portraying the true worth of a woman. Women have a character that men cannot replace in any other way. “Behind every great man, there is a great woman,” and I strongly believe this because it is very applicable in my life as well. I can say that my mother plays an important role in my life, and she stood behind my success till now. Being an international student in this country takes a lot of courage, but the support and encouragement from my mother has helped me every step of the way. She is able to do things that a man cannot do; to be the nurturing, caring, patient, loving, and protective woman she can be to her children and her family.

Beyoncé Knowles, a well-known singer, songwriter uses two of her songs: “Freedom” and “Formation” to tell the story of herself. “Freedom” is the beginning of her story where she is searching for freedom and equality showing that there is still much inequality and injustice for African Americans in America today. The song slowly transitions to a more positive tone when she seems to have made something beneficial out of her difficult situation. “Formation,” however, has a completely different tone. While she does address negative situations from the past at the beginning of the song, she quickly transitions to a more positive tone full of pride in where she came from, who she has become, and what she has overcome. Together, the two songs

The main purpose of Beyoncé’s songs is to emphasise feminism and invigorate gender equality through her lyrics. She does so by using by conveying feminist philosophy in her lyrics. In Run the World, Beyoncé sings “strong enough to bear the children, then get back to business.” Figurative language is used to express be that women give birth however then after they proceed to work. Throughout the song used is both repetition and rhetorical question as this is how Beyoncé portrays the women empowerment theme, domination as well as confidence in her tone whilst preaching the line “Girls, we run this motha (yeah!)” and “Who run the world? Girls!”. Having expressed the line “My persuasion can build he nation” Beyoncé is building women up by speaking

Whitney Houston is considered as one of the greatest singers of our generation. According to the Guinness Book of World Records, she holds the record of being the most rewarded female artist of all time. I chose her as my topic, because she represents resiliency and tenacity, despite her troubled experiences with drugs and her personal life. Whitney Houston comes from a family with an amazing, musical pedigree; her mother, Cissy Houston, was a successful back-up singer for Aretha Franklin and Elvis Presley. Dionne Warwick is her first cousin and Aretha Franklin is her godmother. In 1983, Houston was signed to Arista Records and music executive, Clive Davis, became her mentor and helped launch her successful career. Whitney Houston was

Beyoncé Knowles is an American Singer, Dancer and Actress. She began her career in the R&B Girl group Destiny’s Child as the lead vocalist spanning over 11 years. They released songs such as ‘Say my Name’, ‘Independent woman part 1’ and ‘Lose my Breath’ in 2004 when they returned from their 2-year hiatus; to name just a few of the top 10 hits. Beyoncé went on to become a solo artist and released her debut ‘Dangerously in Love’ in 2003 which stayed at number one for five consecutive weeks. Since then Beyoncé has released five more albums, appeared in the eight movies one of which gave her an Oscar nomination; Dream girls. While being known for her vast accomplishments, Beyoncé has used her craft to highlight the achievements and struggles of the African- American Community.

Attention material: She is the most popular female artist since 2006 when she started as a country singer; she has won many Grammy Awards, Kids Choice Awards and People’s Choice Awards with her incredible talent. She is generous, creative and successful; this could be no other than our beloved Taylor Swift.

Beyoncé in my opinion has not only inspired many teens,but also grown women.She inspired people not to give up,for example when I see Beyoncé up on stage,she really motivates me to keep going and that anything is possible if I put my mind to it. Beyoncé has also proven to woman that we are very powerful and we have to stand up for ourselves no matter what she is one of the best singers ever recognized and she is also a fantastic role model for all

She sang this special anthem with such grace and compassion. Just earlier that month, I saw her sing at the 47th annual Super Bowl in New Orleans, Louisiana. This Super Bowl was the one that the power went off due to the amount of electricity that was used during that halftime. This power outage did not just affect the Super Dome itself, but it affected the whole city. The whole city went without electricity until electricians could restore power. Beyoncé represented what President Obama stood for, freedom and equality. She also stood for something stronger, girl power for any race, ethnicity, or background. Beyoncé is an act that I will never forget from the Super Bowl or the 2013 Presidential

You are an inspiration to girls and woman all over the world. There are many things that made you famous. Like being the richest African American woman, your school in Africa, and The Oprah Winfrey Show. Time magazine named you one of the most 100 influential people 9 times. That’s a lot of things.

Beyonce’s dad helped her become very successful in life. She was in a very famous group called Destiny’s Child with her cousin, Kelly Rowland and Michelle Williams. After being in Destiny’s Child for 9 years, Beyonce decided to

This includes standards of beauty, empowerment, culture, and the shared parts of our history. The message that Beyonce is trying to convey to us is that there are real issues going on that are constantly being ignored. She is also stating that if no one else will voice their opinions on these issues then she will. As I analyzed the position that I received was discrimination to African American culuture, police brutality, tragedy, and cultural pride. I agree with the message behind this video/song. For many years cultural issues have been ignored and failed to be solved due to political

As a firm believer to the idea that celebrities influence our lifestyles, Beyoncé personally, has significantly influenced me. Growing up, Beyoncé has been a role model since I was very young and still continues to live up to that standard today. She is considered to be a VERY mainstream artist and entertainer. What inspires me about her is the genuine quality in her work, which she produces. She is undeniably talented and over a long period of time she has been able to sustain excellent work ethics and authentic passion in everything she does. All these characteristics about Beyoncé influence my behavior because they drive me to give 110 percent in my life. This reference is evidence

While on her previous albums, Beyoncé was trying to empower all women, on Lemonade, Beyoncé speaks directly to black women. “As Jacqui Germain astutely noted on feministing.com, ‘Beyonce using the specific cultural marker of ‘Becky,’ [a social trope for white womanhood] in Lemonade is less a question of who’s excluding whom and why, and more so just us watching Beyonce be the ... multi-layered Black woman’” (Thompson, C., 2016). It was through this album that Beyoncé changed how the public thought of her. She was no longer afraid to not fully share what she wanted to say about current culture, and finally talked straight to black women to raise them up. It was also through this album that Beyoncé changed her image. Before her sixth album, Beyoncé definitely had feminist songs, but with Lemonade, she used rage to share her message, a message telling women that even after getting married, a man may not always be right for

I chose this song because it is a song that I have never heard before but also because I have so much respect and love for Beyoncé. She is such a powerful singer and I couldn’t think of anyone more talented to sing this song with power behind it.
