2000s pop songs

Pop, Rock, and Country music has changed a lot throughout the decades especially since the 1970’s and 80’s compared to 2016 music. Obviously I wasn’t born yet so all this research is from family members, the internet or conversations with people in local music shops. In the 70’s and 80’s you had a lot of good bands and musicians such as Aerosmith, Aero Speed Wagon, Billy Joel and a bunch of others that were great that we could name. The music types most people listened to in the 70’s and 80’s…

progression that makes a pop song a pop song. In a chapter in the textbook The Musician’s Guide to Theory and Analysis, it talks about the popular music chord progression. The textbook says the chord progression is I V VI IV (Clendinning). This progression makes the popular music stand out and catchy to some. The textbook says that these chords are the base for the song and that all a musician has to do it repeat them in any way they would like and the song would sound like a pop song. Since…

The song that I have decided to analyze is Formation, by Beyonce. Beyonce is a worldwide sensation in the pop music industry as well as in feminist culture. Beyonce originally started out in a singing group called Destiny’s Child, where she first became well known; once the group split, Beyonce started her own musical career and has not looked back since. In 2008, eleven years after dating, Beyonce and rapper and music producer Jay-Z married. Three years later, Beyonce became pregnant with…

The face of Nicholas Easter was slightly hidden by a display rack filled with slim cordless phones, and he was looking not directly at the hidden camera but somewhere off to the left, perhaps at a customer, or perhaps at a counter where a group of kids hovered over the latest electronic games from Asia. Though taken from a distance of forty yards by a man dodging rather heavy mall foot traffic, the photo was clear and revealed a nice face, clean-shaven with strong features and boyish good looks.…

I am Vietnamese who was born in the last years of the 20th century. Then, then 2000s was the era which the culture of pop music was automatically instilled in each person the day they started to listen to music. The modern pop music is one of the fastest growing genres in the music industries. And undoubtedly, pop quickly spreads its affections to the Vietnamese audience. Just the same as other people at my age, I used to despite older music, considered them out of fashion and boring. However,…

Meghan Trainor is a recent American pop star defined by her sense of empowerment as she urges listeners to reject body shaming. Encouraging positive body image is becoming a societal norm in the U.S. and the Nashville singer 2014 debut single, “All About That Bass,” help persuade her audience that bigger bodies are better. The objectification of larger bodies contribute towards a feeling that there is a criteria for beauty. Similarly, Nicki Minaj’s “Anaconda” is part of a tradition of hip hop…

I wanted to be sure to pick songs that fit my curriculum needs but I thought it was also important to use music of a variety of genres. I looked through my music collection initially and chose four songs. My plan was to use the first verse or two of each song, display the lyrics and play them while my students followed along. I made sure that I prepared my students to look for specific elements of literature and/or author’s purpose and after we listened to each song, I displayed the lyrics again…

slightly obsessed with him at some point in your life. I started listening to his music. I bought all of his albums. Every last one. And out of all 19 albums, the song Beautiful is my favorite. This song stands out from his others, because there is more emotion in this one compared to his other work. When Eminem first began writing the song that later came to be known as Beautiful he had recently lost…

the worse. Ten years ago with songs like, “We belong together” by Mariah Carey and “Let me love you” by Mario showed more thought and substance when it came to the concept of love and intimacy. The songs created in past years showed more conservation and used clever metaphors to insinuate sexual relations, rather than blatantly stating it. In more recent years, with songs like “No role Modelz” by J. Cole and “Trap Queen” by Fetty Wap it is shown that although the song may not be about…

racial relation and equality that appeal to many people who are suffering from those issues. The song ‘Can’t cry’ by Jcole, will show how the artist convey his message about social inequality in the United states of America. Furthermore how Jcole approaches this issue in the song, with his use of language. The black people in America have a hard time, which matters. ‘ can’t cry ’ is the title of the song and thus has quite strong meaning.…
