One person I don't really prefer to listen to is Justin Timberlake. I don't really hate him I just don't like most of his songs. He is a good musician and singer but I just don't really like very many of his songs in his solo career. To me they kind of all sound the same just with different words. He does have a good song very once in a while that is pretty catchy but I think the beats in a lot of his songs sound the same.
I like Kurt Cobain because not only is he a really good musician but he has a good personality. Unlike most famous people he doesn't think that he is better then everybody else and he thinks of everyone before himself like when making MTV's unplugged. He picked the songs that he wanted to sing and picked the songs that weren't as famous. My favorite song that they sang during that performance was the song Come As You Are. His voice sounds really good in this song.

My friend showed me these to girls on Youtube named Lennon and Maisy and their voices are so good. They both have amazing voices they aren't that old but their voices sound like they have been singing for a while. The first song they do a cover over Johnny Cash's Ring of Fire. In the second video I didn't know the song before I saw it but I think they do a good cover it Call Your Girlfriend.
I really liked Nirvana I thought they sounded really good. I really liked the whole CD that we listened to on Tuesday except for the bonus track which I thought sounded really bad it was loud and sounded like they were banging on the instruments. But other then that the CD Nevermind was really good and I ended up knowing more songs on the album then I thought I would. My favorite song on the album was Lithium.

I found a CD of the Dixie Chicks and they are a really talented group. I really like their voices the are really good and they harmonize very well. I really like their songs I think they are fun to sing along too. I really like how they sing this song Traveling Soldier and I like the story behind the song too.

This week we listened to NWA which I really liked. I almost think that they are better then the rappers today. They were very creative with rhymes and it flows very well. I think I just like old rappers in general though I think they sounded better and they don't repeat as much unlike todays rappers it always sounds like they are saying the same thing over and over in all their songs. My favorite song by NWA is express yourself because it is a good mix of pop and hip hop. I really like their raps. Rap in general is just cool to me if you can make it sound good. I just think its awesome to be able to come up with that I think it would be hard. I would be terrible at making things rhyme and flow together so I think its awesome that people can do it.

When watching the U2 movie the one part that stood out to me was the part that U2 goes to the gospel church and sings I still haven't found what I'm looking for with the choir. I think the remix on the song sounds really good the main girl with the microphone has a fantastic voice. I also like the idea of mixing the choir with modern day songs I thought the whole thing sounded so good. They all sounded great and together and really knew how to harmonize well.




Over the weekend I went out to Snook, Texas to go to a music festival called Chilifest. It is a country festival put on by A&M to raise money for different organizations. They had ten different bands preform for two days. The big headliners were Josh Turner and Kevin Fowler. All the shows were great and they all sounded great and prepared for the performances. But what made me like Kevin Fowler most compared to the other performers was that after his show he was the only artist that stayed outside for at least two hours signing things till all his fans left none of the other artists did that. After that he stayed to the very end watching the other performers and talking to his fans. My favorite song that Kevin Fowler sang was That Girl. Another performance that I really enjoyed was Corey Smiths. I didn't really know Corey Smith before his performance. I reconized some of his songs but I didn't know that he had sang them. My favorite song that he performed was 21 he performed this song very well. It was a fun song because he got a lot of crowd participation. Another performance that stood out to me was Arrons Watson's Raise Your Bottle. He has a very good voice and I also didn't know about him before this performance. Overall the whole show was great I learned a lot of new bands to listen to.
