If an individual wants to be in the entertainment industry, one must know who they are and to develop a tough exterior, in order to overcome adversity and negativity. It is evident that Whitney was a people-pleaser and if she did not please everybody, then it would take a toll on her and as a result, provided her with a lot of distress and pain. For this reason, possibly drew her into a realm of drugs and chaos.

After that song my daughter's fame was sealed, everyone knew my Aaliyah’s name. Now look at my daughter she’s writing songs for movies, right now she’s singing a song for Disney, Dr. Dolittle, and she got the part in, “Romeo must die.” I don’t know what my daughter can’t do. Even though there was that mishap with R.kelly and the marriage licence, i’m so very proud of my baby, my superstar but because Aaliyah is now a singer and actor.

She began singing solo’s at New Bethel Church. At the age of fourteen Aretha’s talent for singing was recognized by her father, and he started managing her shortly after, so he could get her a recording deal. She started off by going on the road with her father and singing at various churches while he preached. This resulted in Aretha Franklin getting signed to her first record deal with J.V.B. Records Label. Her first studio album was titled “Songs Of Faith”. Although this did not put her on the map as the Queen of Soul. Aretha decided at the age of 18 that she wanted to go in the direction of Sam Cooke and sing Pop music. It was not until she signed with the Columbia Records in 1960, that she had her first single chart the Billboard on the Hot 100 with her song “Won’t Be Long” off her first pop studio album Aretha: With the Ray Bryant Combo. With her talent Franklin was able to record in diverse genres such as vocal jazz, blues, standards, rhythm and blues and doo-wop. In 1962, she released two more studio albums: ‘The Electrifying Aretha Franklin’ and ‘The Tender,The Moving,Swinging Aretha Franklin’. Her number-one R&B singles are “Respect” in 1967, “Chain Of Fools” in 1967, “Think” in 1967, and “Share Your Love With Me” also in 1967. In 1968 Aretha performed at Dr. Martin Luther King’s Funeral. She also performed at the presidential inauguration of Jimmy Carter. Doing her music is the reason why Franklin is where she is now and why she is known as the queen of

Contrary to the typical stereotypes of Texans, Sam Houston was much more than a drunkard and an excellent gunslinger. Although, he possessed these traits as well, Houston displayed a certain level of maturity, honor, and critical thinking that most men, or even women, at the time did not own. To assume Sam Houston was a one trick pony, or only skilled in one aspect merely because of his heritage and place of birth would be an understatement, as his father was a major . The tall, handsome troublemaker did not fit in with the standard expected of boys or men during his time, however, he is one of the most revered political figures not only in Texas’s history, but also the history of the nation as a whole. Houston held numerous political

People will always need help and I think that when you do not feel secure, there is always important to call for help. My second song was “I will Survive” Gloria Gaynor because sometime after a break up, some people feel unconfident and not safety, but after a time passes, people can come along with that security that they used to have before.

All The Man I Need was a song that was originally written for Linda Clifford in 1981, Whitney then recorded this song years later. This song entered the Billboard Hot 100 Singles chart at number 53 in 1990. Whitney in this song speaks about how she used to cry about the man before her current relationship “He fills me up/He gives me love/More love than I ever seen/He’s all I got/He’s all I got in this world.” The saxophone creates texture to the song, there is a smooth yet powerful addition. Towards the end of the song she added a gospel choir sound to the end of the song during “He builds me up/He gives good love” adding the choir texture to the song created a passion behind the words that were sung that really made the audience feel what she was saying.

Unexpectedly, the fans caught on to her personal drug life. The media noticed she began to lose weight. She had dropped three whole dress sizes within months. She then explained to the public that “I’m a musician, not a model.” Amy cared little about what people thought of her, as long as she put out selling music that attracted fans. Delaying the drugs for a few weeks, she recorded and dropped her second album “Back to Black.” The album was released November 5, 2007. It won Best pop vocal album and was nominated album of the year. Amy also tied with five other artists as being the most awarded female for a single award ceremony. “Rehab”, which became her hit single on the album hit number seven on the charts in the U.K and was number nine on the Billboard Hot 100 in the U.S. The record alone won five grammys including Record of the Year, Song of the Year, and Best Female Pop Vocal Performance.

At an early age, Fantasia was a victim of rape and divorce. She pursued a music career in her small town of North Carolina but found that she just did not stand out from among the other teens. With low self-esteem, it was not long before Fantasia fell into the wrong crowd and found herself a seventeen-year-old, pregnant, illiterate, high school drop out. Fantasia faced a lot of criticism when she was considered for America's idol, but she did not let that bother her and continued on to become an idol for those who like her have come from a hard background. Like Helen Keller once said, "No Pessimist ever discovered the secret of the stars or sailed to an unchartered land." Fantasia Barrino has proven that "life is not a Fairy Tale" but you can sure make it one.
