This article discusses the scandal Justin Bieber was involved in with Mariah Yeater back in 2011. She had been said to be the main focus of the song due to her accusations of being impregnated by music artist, Justin Bieber. The theme of this song also highly resembles Michael Jackson’s “Billie Jean,” not just by the way it sounds, but from the outlook of the situation. Each song incorporates a problem with a girl who is in search of their attention. Some think it’s for the money or fame but Justin later states in the song how she might not even be after any of that. Maybe all this time she just wanted him to like her.

During the 1900s, passion of composing music arose and encouraged many young teens to create garage bands and elder to perceive music as career. Famous musicians like Robert Johnson, Bill Monroe, and Elvis Presley were seeking the same. Although many were composing songs, most of them adapted their own versions from many which created a list of similarities and differences between them. Most commonly similar were themes or forms yet some differentiated in delivery style or instrumentation. Many artists got more creative and used similar instruments but give a twist into the sound play. This can be seen in the script or heard in the audio of the songs “Walkin’ Blues” and “Blue Moon of Kentucky” like many others.

According to him, growing up around both musical genres influenced him to develop a passion for the music. At the same time, it had a big influence on the music he likes and interprets. By my own experience, as a proud Dominican, I could say we have Bachata and Merengue in our blood. Those genres are part of our identity and culture, which shape our views in terms of music. Both genres are characterized by their unique rhythms, and specific ways for dancing. This caused many people to get interested in them, which made them popular around the

Elvis Presley better known as the king of rock n roll and Michael Jackson better known as the king of pop, both are beyond iconic and have become some of the most famous musicians in history.

Most people either extremely dig Kanye West, or they just down right hate him. Kanye is not only known for his incredible talent and beautiful wife, but also his cocky attitude and what some people would call narcissistic behavior. Regardless of what you may think about him, Mr.West is a pop culture phenomenon who's accomplishments and attitude are things each man, no matter what age, can draw inspiration from. Not only is he the newest recipient of the coveted Video Vanguard Award from MTVs VMAs(which aired this past Sunday), he's also expecting a baby boy with Kim K and has a highly anticipated album dropping very soon. I'm not sure who you look up, but Kanye should be on that list. Here are five reasons why you should admire Kanye West.From popped polo collars, to stylish retro shades, Kanye has always been a trendsetter in the fashion world.

“Elvis was born in in Tupelo, Mississippi on January 8, 1935” (The Estate of Elvis Presley 2015). His twin, Jessie Garon, was dead at birth, so Elvis grew up an only child. It was here, in Tupelo, that Elvis learned to love music. In the poorer part of town, Elvis was inspired by the black blues-men that lived in his neighborhood as well as the country music on the radio and the music at the local gospel groups. “[On] October 3, 1945, Elvis sings “Old Shep” in a talent contest winning 5th. This was his first musical performance” (Elvis Presley Enterprises, INC. 2015). When he turned 11, Elvis had wanted a bike. His parents wanted to make him happy, but there was no way that they could afford the bike that he wanted. Instead, his mother talked him into getting a guitar which was only $12.95. 2 years later, because the financial situation in Tupelo, Mississippi was not very good, Elvis and his parents moved to Memphis, Tennessee. All through his teenage years, Elvis had to get jobs to help support his family, but that did not stop him from playing music in his free time. He graduated on June 3, 1953 and then got a job driving a delivery truck for the Crown Electric Company. He started to

For this discussion I focus my attention on the recent arrest of celebrity Chris Brown. It was alleged that he pointed a gun to a woman’s face who in fear run away. “The incident began early Tuesday when the LAPD received a 911 call about a woman claiming she had been threatened by the performer, police said. Officers arrived about 3 a.m. at the estate in the 5000 block of Corbin Avenue. The woman, Baylee Curran, told The Times that Brown pointed a gun at her during a violent rage before she ran outside. Curran said she and a friend went to Brown’s home with a business associate, who was invited by the musician. She wanted to talk to Brown about future projects, she said”. (LaTimes, 2016). The victim in this case was obviously the girl who alleged that Chris pointed a gun at her.

I think one day we'll all wake up and understand the inner workings of Kanye West's mind and realize that all of his antics made sense, but today is not that day. Kanye West has transcended from Hip-Hop's most influential to most polarizing. There are several events that attribute to this new title, his twitter rants aligning himself with controversial figures like donald trump and candace owens (I didn't capitalize their names on purpose for all of you grammar heads.), wearing the 'make america great again' hat and the icing on the cake a TMZ rant, where he said slavery was a choice. Even though Kanye West has always been a stand out and do as I may individual, this time around his antics have tipped the scale.
