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 "warrior" is astounding, so emotional yet so powerful, it hits nerves you may hav never known you had. Rachel's "Fight song", "better place" and "stand by you" are all wow. I started listening to Rachel when i was about 12 0r 13 years old and have never looked back. These songs are incredibly upligting and again powerful, they are part of my morning playlist to get me started for the day. I am a picky morning music person, incidentally, the songs i listen to that early have to have some meaning to them and all 4 of these do.

Under the Nineties category, there are so many names that popped up in my head but I'm going to go with a few. I'm going with Celine Dion, Michael Jackson, and the backstreet boys. These artists all have something in common, they were an essential part of my upbringing. My parents only ever play(ed) gospel music or old school music, and these artists are only a snippet of the ones they did. I am forever grateful to my parents for introducing me to real and meaningful music early on because I appreciate it so much now. I think I know almost every single one of these 3 artists' songs on all of their released albums. It'll be tough for me to pick A favorite but ill do my best. One of my favorites from Micheal is "you are not alone", from Celine are "because you loved me", "A new day has come" and lastly backstreet boys "as long as you love me".

I hope you enjoyed my insight on these artists!!

Raul Cuero

       In the interview with Raul Cuero, he states multiple times that he was discriminated against and faced a lot of adversities in his life. At one point, he also stated that he felt like he had no value once he stepped off the basketball court. With all these things he went through and all these thoughts, he made the choice to overcome them and work 10x harder because he wanted to be important off the basketball court some day. He wanted to be celebrated and used all of what we may consider as "negative' to aim higher and work harder.        This interview with Raul Cuero speaks on topics that I believe are still prevalent today and may be relatable to some of today's youth. For instance, students who get recruited to D1 schools for various sports are only nurtured in those sports with little consideration given to their success in the classroom. While some schools do a great job with balancing them out, several universities focus more on sports which in turn leave t

Exceptional grid art

This is my grid art, it is a rose and I specifically picked a rose because my name is Blossom. I actually thought this was fun and interesting, I have never done anything like this and I enjoyed it. Even though it seemed a little confusing at first when I started it, I got the hang of it. I look forward to creating more art in the future!

Howard Goodall Big bangs 3 Opera

While watching the video on opera I learned that Opera didn't emerge gradually into the public like other genres did, it surfaced "explosively" onto the entertainment scene. The part in the video where the custodian was singing just showed how powerful the sound system really is in that theatre, he didn't even have a microphone or any type of sound enhancing system, but his voice illuminated throughout the theatre. Opera really did bring hundreds of thousands of people together, 10,000 per night be exact. There was so much effort put into their daily performances at the Arena. I also learned that Opera is a huge deal in Italy and came to be an estimated 300 years ago. I found it really cool that he (Howard Goodall) was able to go to some of the famous people's (Camerata) houses who first talked about Opera in the city of Florence. These were the people that discussed Opera a whole lot and put on their first show which was called “Dapne’. I found the video quite i
