May 5, 1988 in North london, England an inspiring, successful artist was born (“Adele”). Adele has been very successful throughout her career. Her music is loved by so many people not just in the UK, but also across the world. How did she do it and what has inspired her? Growing up with her parents being split up and being the only child Adele’s mother taught her to be unique (“Adele”). Adele had set her goals at a young age and had big dreams she’s now achieved so much in her life. Her mother put her in BRIT a performing arts school at a young age (“France”). Neither of her parents were musical, but who would’ve known she’d become so talented. So where exactly did she get

They inspired her to make music and sing. When she was 15 years old she would listen to 40s music (“Adele”). She appreciated the older music and artists whom had soul in their voices. Adele should give all the glory to MySpace. MySpace is a social media site where Adele started to post music that she had composed and wrote (“Adele Biography”). XL Recordings found her music on her page and soon after she received a record deal (“Adele”). Many people love the sound of her different voice because it had a lot of soul in it(“Adele Biography”). Her songs are also known for the American r&b style and Jazz style (“Adele Biography”). Chasing pavements and Hometown glory brought her to fame (“Adele”). At age 19 she released the album 19 which was named after her age at the time in 2008 just like all her following albums were named (“Adele”). Chasing pavements from the album 19’ was a hit (“Adele”). Three years later her album 21 was released in 2011 (“Adele”). Even though 21 wasn’t supposed to be as successful as it was, She received a Grammy for it (“France”). The album also sold 30 million copies (“France”).

I myself am very dedicated to music and I love to play the piano and learn and play all types of music. I remember when I was a little girl I would sneak out of classes and go to the music room where there was a piano and just play all of her music. For me, it was a way to get away from everything I was going through. Her music was deep and had meaning to every single word in the lyrics. To me, that was all I needed. I would do research on her and see what she would be doing and her interests and we were just interested in the same kinds of things. She was and always will be my biggest idols. When I was younger, I always longed to go to her concert and sit in the audience and just feel her music in me. By freshman year, I finally got tickets to see her and it was the most amazing experience ever. It meant so much to me that I was actually in tears while she was singing live and it felt so perfect. A few years later, my senior year, I went to go see her again. And this time it was an even better feeling. Her drive and determination to help anyone in her path is what touches me and makes me want to do the same things for my community and everyone around me.
Aretha was born into a family that attended church, her father who was a Baptist preacher and gospel singer parents. She was the fourth of five children, and lost her mother from a heart attack, four years after her parents had gotten divorced. Aretha was then moved with her dad and siblings to Michigan where they attended a church named, Detroit’s New Baptists. Her father was recognized as a preacher and her talent was starting to peek out when she would sing at her Father’s congregation. She was mostly self-taught herself and was known to be a child prodigy, with a nice voice and a gifted pianist.
“Night’ shows that even in the most brutalising conditions, people still behave humanely. To what extent do you agree?”
Night by Elie Wiesel was heart shattering; The experiences Elie had, undoubtedly affected him and his perception of the world. Elie Wiesel was put through unbearable oppression; torture, starvation, and extreme labor, simply because he didn't fit the nazi standards. Due to his hostile environment he struggled with many things including his faith in God. Throughout the novel Weisel described countless acts of violence between men, causing him to question humanity, and whether or not humanity was present. The theme of Night is inhumanity as described by the pain and vulgarness towards him, along with Weisel losing his faith in God, but also humanity.
One of Aaliyah’s contributions to her genres of music would be that she brought back the teen girl's voice for R&B. Due to the fact that when she first started her career she was fifteen years old. Her career started when she did a cover for the song “At your best.” By the Isley Brothers. When Aaliyah dropped her first single “Back & Forth.” It was a hit because Aaliyah was a young talented solo artist. Since she was a solo artist she was appealed more by a younger audience. Due to the fact that she wasn’t like the older singers such as Whitney Houston and Mariah Carey.
On July 28th in the evening at home alone, I watched Adele live at Royal Albert Hall on YouTube, which can be found following this link: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=DJ7bnkVbI88&t=0s.. Adele was born in 1988 in London, and is a well known British singer/songwriter. Adele has released three albums in her career: 19, 21, 25 and Adele has thirteen hits on the billboard top 100 chart as of 2017. Adele started her career in 2006 when a video of hers was discovered on myspace. An influence on Adele’s style of music is Etta James. This performance is before her last album was released and features more of her past relationships in her music, so this concert was not about happy party music, it was a deep soulful experience.
Two women from two different backgrounds have so much in common yet they are so different. One grew up in Houston, Texas while the other grew up in Saint Michael, Barbados. Even though these two women have had very different up bringing the one thing they have in common is their great voices. These two women’s background, musical style, and other career ventures make them both two of the best female artist in their field.
had to go through in his life in his attempts for justice to be served.
It is said that this hard lifestyle began to affect her work. Her songs were no longer filled with youthful emotions, but a sort of bitter regret. Even with the change in her music still had a great impact on other artists of her time and later. (www.numberonestars.com, 2010)
You must me joking? Adele and Jocelyn in the same sentence? Clearly, you know not a thing about music. What is in this for you? Have you any integrity? Are you sane and have any of your critical factors in check whatsoever? She has a voice that is easily found in any venue in any City Canada or USA. She is at best average!. Why build-up and perpetuate the ongoing Calgary lie of mediocrity in music and disgust us all while she shames the music industry and a nation?

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
