“Oh, that was just the greatest entertainer of all time!” A very intelligent girl exclaimed. Michael Jackson is certainly the greatest entertainer that has ever lived. To begin, an article stated this, “The King of Pop's hits included Beat It, Billie Jean and Thriller and his 1982 album was the best-selling album of all time, with more than 26 million copies sold” (“Michael Jackson”). Since his album is the best selling album ever and that he has millions of fans that proves he actually is the greatest entertainer ever. Secondly, Jackson is referred as The King of Pop because Michael is a very skilled dancer, singer, and songwriter (Hill 249). This shows that he was very
In Strangers on a Train, it was interesting seeing the differences in Bruno and Guy. The first thing we see about Bruno is his black and white wingtip shoes, which are in stark contrast to Guy’s plain shoes. Guy dresses in a very simple, but nice manner, whereas we have Bruno with his lobster tie, and tie clip with his name on it.
The Weeknd’s issues with women stem from a past affair he only hints at in songs such as “Wicked Games”. As a result, he tends to push women away, often hurting them first in order to avoid being hurt himself. In “Shameless”, from his latest album, he writes to a lover: “You want me to fix you but it’s never enough/That’s why you always call me ‘cause you’re scared to be loved”. The extremely unhealthy relationship The Weeknd has with this unnamed woman provides a reflection of himself, as he purposely sexualizes females in an effort to keep from forming human connections with them. He holds women at arm’s length with lyrics such as, “Stupid’s next to I love you” (“Losers”) and “Girl, I’m so glad we’re acquainted”. (“Acquainted”) The Weeknd’s struggles, while heartbreaking, have contributed to his shattering success as a
describing the lover as a betrayer and the “novelty song with sex interest” which includes infatuation due to physical features such as face, hair, eyes, body,etc. Most Troubadours composed their own music and paired them with their original lyrics, which demonstrated their ability of being creative. However, some Troubadours used existing melodies to accompany their lyrics. Bruno Mars by name of Peter Gene Hernandez is a famous American pop singer in the modern era. Mars’s hit single “Just the Way You Are” was a success and he won the Grammy Award for the Best Male Pop Vocal Performance in 2011. Like the Troubadours, Mars wrote this song but not alone, by himself, instead he has a team known as “The Smeezingtons.”
Less than a month ago, there was a case in which a famous singer was heavily criticized because of the lyrics of a song. The english artist Ed Sheeran launched his new album with a song called Barcelona, a city he has admitted enjoying going every time he has a chance. The lyrics became controversial in a few hours, since many people claimed they had nothing to do with the reality —it does show either how Barcelona looks like, nor how the citizens are. This anecdote did not last very much, but Ed’s message was bitterly misinterpreted.
Michael Jackson, a man that changed the music world forever. Jackson made his professional singing debut in 1964 with his siblings in a band called the Jackson 5. Jackson made it big with Jackson 5 having many singles reach the top 100 in the United States. But, when Jackson decided to start his own solo career in 1971 we were seeing a side of Michael Jackson that we have never seen before. Most importantly Jackson 1982, mulit-platinum selling album Thriller. Michael Jackson broke music barriers and made a change for racial equality in the music industry.
Michael Jackson once said, “the greatest education in the world is watching the masters at work”. And that saying could be the same for Michael Jackson The King of Pop. And he was right. One of the best ways to learn was watching the master at work, as Michael Jackson had one of the largest impacts in the entertainment industry. Without the influence of Michael Jackson, the R&B and Hip-Hop industry would not have had the artists or music that it has today. He was known as one of the best entertainers of all time, Michael Jackson was the most decorated pop artist. He was a developer in the music industry, thanks to his ground-breaking music, choreography, and music videos. Michael Jackson transformed what it means and takes to be a pop
At that time, Bruno realized he continuously took her for granted. While he once thought nothing of his choices the second she was out of the picture brought him in a dark place; bringing it to his attention the importance of waking up next to her genuine love—becoming all too serial to him. Losing his sense of comfort he was so use to having. To further understand, he incorporates the simple fact of the radio. Regardless of one’s mood, the radio is a source people rely on to deal with mental stresses. Music helps bring people out of a funk. It helps them feel what is needed to be felt in order to overcome different emotions. Bruno Mars sings, “Our song on the radio, but it don’t sound the same” (1.2.) Significantly, spending an enormous amount of time with a person indefinitely draws an emotional connection to the other. It means that the smallest details will turn into one of the greatest memories. At one point in time the song had was a very catchy and uplifting tune to it. Signifying the love and happiness they felt for one another as a couple. After the breakup he refers to the same song but with a different tune, only to represent her absence in the relationship.

Bruno, initially, has ignorance about everything going on in his life. For example, his dissatisfaction with leaving Berlin is demonstrated in many parts of the story. He is shown to the reader as being innocent, immature, and unable to give things a chance. On many occasions, Bruno complains about moving to “Out-With” (Auschwitz). He continually complains before even giving himself a chance to experience it. He was whining and being stubborn. To illustrate, in the novel, the author says, “Nothing, thought Bruno, not even the insects, would ever choose to stay at Out-With.
Today, sources of mainstream music such as radio, television and film soundtracks tend to reflect an increasingly superficial, formulaic and predictable mode of music production and distribution. The result is an increasingly homogenous mainstream market that tends to stifle creativity, experimentation and artistic vision in favor of proven commodity. This helps to account for the dominance of mechanized dance tracks aimed at younger listeners and the permeation of Middle of the Road (MOR) content aimed at Baby Boomer consumers. Especially in the face of a declining overall music buying market, the industry has become especially unwilling to take risks on artist's whose style is unfamiliar or
he finally has someone to talk to for once rather him sitting all alone contemplating everything he has in his mind and bugging his father, he finally has someone to express his emotions to. This decision changed Bruno as he would after wards continue a conversation with the boy and they would both share each other’s stories. If it wasn’t enough Bruno was now bringing food to the boy that is “Shmuel” without anyone’s permission. But this wouldn’t be the last change Bruno goes through as now Bruno will cross all lines and take the most drastic measure in the
A major change for Bruno was when they moved from Berlin to Auschwitz. Bruno was outgoing, adventurous and had many friends.

After he met Shmuel things started to feel a little more normal for him but unaware that his life will end very soon.
