Giacomo Puccini, Madama Butterfly.

This kind of opera is different from what was displayed played in the animated version of “Madama Butterfly”. It wasn’t as appealing to me, it was still enjoyable just not as much as I enjoyed the animated video. I feel like Opera is for older, more seasoned folks and I’m nowhere near that. If this was played or acted out in a theatre today, I think a lot of people would freak over it in a great way. They are awesome singers.

The acting was a little tricky and different but that is expected because people have gotten a lot better at acting over time. There is an expected audience for everything, but I doubt I’m a part of that audience for now, unfortunately. Maybe when I am older it will be more appealing to me. I do find it incredibly amazing that people can sing like that and extend their voices to such great heights. I’m a singer myself so I know how unbelievably tough it is to even be able to get to half of that range.

Final Video!

This video encapsulates some of the most important people in my life, obviously, a lot of people who I hold dear to my heart aren't included unfortunately because I don't have good pictures with them. This was a grueling yet heartwarming process for me because it brought joy to my heart and reminded how incredibly important it is to have people, even a few who really love you.

The new sound of music

For the "house music" era, I think David Guetta should be on that list. I say this for one because he is a DJ and two not only is he a DJ that creates sick beats/sounds but he allows other mainstream artists to use his pieces. An example of a beat he allowed an artist to sing on was on the song "Titanium" ft. Sia from 2011. This song is definitely, for lack of a better word, "housy". For the girl power era, generally, I wouldve picked a generic choice, Beyonce buttt im daring to stand out. I'm going with Rachel Platen for sure and some Demi Lovato, they both are incredibly talented artists with a strong female following and even stronger message to back that up. They are both women who have been through a lot of things in their lives and still choose to be unapologetically themselves. Demi as a matter of fact is still going through it right now and is on the road to recovery. I have a favorite from Demi and quite a few from Rachel. Demi's "w...

My video is pretty self-explanatory. It is about the sexism that goes on in the workplace between men and women both at the same or a similar level and expertise. https://youtu.be/VnXxHeZcL4s
