Bruno Mars's Music At The American Music Awards

Fosse began his dancing career by getting opportunities to dance in Burlesque clubs. At a young age he was exposed to and had to deal with crass men treating women as sexual objects on stage. As his career advanced Fosse received fewer and fewer opportunities, he began to doubt his abilities and grew more and more depressed with each disappointment. Because of his lack of self-confidence he became a choreographer. Fosse created a unique style which audiences loved. He used his own insecurities as a dancer and turned them into strengths. Fosse’s style was rooted in jazz. He was devoted to minute details, precision, repetition, isolation and gestures. A signature of Fosse’s choreography was the turned in feet. Fosse created this signature because turnout was difficult for him. In addition to movement contributions, Fosse’s choreography also created dancers who could act. Fosse wanted his dancers to show what they were thinking and saying clearly through movement. Every detail had a purpose and said something. Fosse’s highly talented choreographic skills and style was craved by audiences. This popularity took Fosse into the realm of film and direction (biography.com). Within the article “Bending the Genre: The Stage and Screen Versions of Cabaret” by Randy Clark, the differences between the stage and screen version are shown. For my purposes, I am going to focus on the points discusses in the Fosse and the

The song “Just the way you are” written and sung by singer and songwriter Bruno Mars is about the authors love towards his girlfriend and how perfect she is. Within his song, “Just the way you are”, Mars denotes certain ordinary aspects of this girl (her lips, hair, laugh) that the author truly adores. In “Just the way you are”, Mars promotes the idea that a woman should be told that she is beautiful just the way she is by using repetition and imagery. To initiate the author's idea of beautiful regarding his girlfriends physical and emotional looks, Mars incorporates repetition relating the girlfriend´s laugh to the adjective sexy.

The most successful aspect of the performance for me were the scene changes. I found that the rotation of the blackboard, center stage, where the actors were able to stoop beneath it in order to enter and exit the stage, was an effective touch to this

Micheal Jackson and Madonna were one of the best artists to take advantage of the emerging video age. Micheal Jackson’s music videos changed the dimenision of pop music in the 1980s and earned the title King of Pop. His energy and highly ambitious dance was the main aspect of his dance music videos. The first of his music videos was the extended twelve-minute video “Thriller” directed by Hollywood’s John Landies. Like Micheal Jackson, Madonna’s music is usually plays by dance beat. She has dance-club background. Her first recordings were success in New York dance-club scene.

Chris Stapleton released his debut album, Traveller, in the Spring of 2015. This album is characterized by what I would describe as a traditional country feel, but with a slightly more modern sound, or to be more technical, a country rock meets blues album. This record, and Chris Stapleton himself, went relatively unnoticed by the general public after initial release. It was not until the 2015 CMA awards when Stapleton performed “Tennessee Whiskey” with Justin Timberlake that his album truly took off (Welch). Since then, songs from Traveller can frequently be heard on national country radio stations, as well as on tour, a show I will be attending in May.

The show took place at the Staples Center in Los Angeles, CA on February 10, 2008 but the song didn't win.

Bruno Mars is an American singer-songwriter. He was born in Honolulu Hawaii, U.S in 1985 (I am just 5 months older than him, but he is my favorite singer.) His second album “Unorthodox Jukebox” was recorded in 2012 and released on January 15, 2015. The single “When I Was your Man” was written by Bruno Mars, Philip Lawrence, Ari Levine and Andrew Wyatt. It is a romantic ballad describing the guilt of a man seeing his love affair destroyed by lack of attention. Mars wrote this song during a hard period of his relationship with his girlfriend Jessica Caban. However, according to the website www.at40.com “He may be wrote this song in memoriam of his mother who passed away years ago.” The music video has around 350,000,000 views on

Finally the last performer and in my opinion the best of the night, Ms. Marsha Ambrosius. Marsha Ambrosuis is an R&B singer. According to freedictionary.com R&B is defined as “a style of music developed by African Americans that combines blues and jazz, characterized by a strong backbeat and repeated variations on syncopated instrumental phrases.” As she sang Marsha gave a story as to the songs she performed and related it back to the album’s title whether the song related to lovers or friends and if she though that two people could be lovers and friends. There was no question as to what the song implied or was about during the performance

The third act was lovely Eli Womble. He is not only a music major, but also on the soccer team. He was not alone and with him on stage were his very good friends. Firstly, he gave a shout out to his mother and girlfriend who sat on the front row. They played two songs clearly Womble had the most fans in the audience. There were a lot of soccer players in the audience who sung along with his song and clearly enjoyed their teammate talents. His teammate, Catawba soccer defense player Jared Bieber said, “He just gets better and better every time I hear him play, he is going to be a superstar.”

This was particularly exciting because the music was written and sung by Beyonce, a majority favorite. However, the costumes lacked coordination and seemed put together very last minute. Although, the purple and red vests did match the lighting which added a unique touch. The dance moves were fun and upbeat which allowed for the audience to enjoy themselves and experience the joy the dancers expressed. The dance truly attempted and succeeded at displaying the true spirit of Beyonce. Also, the dance moves seemed to have been carefully planned out to their fullest potential. The originality of the dance was exceptional which was one of the many components that cultivated its excellent

Really high and loud all night long… including my self and my friends, the audience seemed really appreciating his hit medley at the end. It made us to believe that he plays over the top with excellent showmanship. Our waitress was little busy most of that night but the cocktail was good so it was okay and the lighting was perfect. Oh, one

Tyler didn’t miss a note. He stayed energetic the whole two and a half hours. Josh drummed so intensely and was so upbeat he had the crowd rocking out. Listening to their lyrics live, I felt inspired and at home. All of their songs have a deeper meaning behind them and a life lesson that can be taken from it. They are extremely influential to their fan base. Looking at them up on the stage, I saw the happiness on their faces. I could tell they were enjoying themselves and that they wanted to be there. That is a big part of concerts.

To begin, I thoroughly enjoyed the performance. Going into it I didn’t expect it to be as entertaining as it was.

I think that the performer’s ability was appropriate for their location and for their audience because the tone quality of the musicians sounded very rich and clean. When I listened to the performance, I was able to hear all of the different parts of the piece clearly, which has made me much more conscious of the balance and dynamics of each phrase when I play. The texture of the pieces played was very rich and full because an orchestral piece is designed to have a good balance of instruments and good range of frequencies of sound that has lots of different things happening at the same time.

Are you aware of the meaning of true love when the money and the power are sitting comfortably in your hands? In the song “When I was your Man” by Bruno Mars, he expresses his regret of putting aside a loyal woman. Serving him as a lesson learned, he found the true meaning of appreciation of a good woman. Bruno Mars expresses the consequences of his decisions. Unfortunately, his choices threw away an opportunity that was standing at his door step. This song conveys situations in which Bruno Mars could have done more than he did. Throughout “When I was your Man,” he is continually stating things he once took for granted. Therefore forcing him to love and live
