My favourite singer or band

MUSIC! What a joy. It can instantly change our mood, take us to another place in our mind, calm us or make us want to dance. It can instantly bring back a memory or in some cases, it can make us feel sad. Who are our favourite artists and why do we love them? What is it about them that draws us to a particular song or album?
This week’s blog explores all of the above and brings us into the wonderful world of music…
 
My favourite song is “Who let the dogs out”.  I like to listen to this song because the sound is good for me and makes me calm and relaxed. I often listen to this song and I have requested it many times when I go out somewhere like to “Dinner with Friends” or when I go out partying.
 
"Who Let the Dogs Out" is a song performed by Bahamian Junkanoo band Baha Men. The song was released on 26 of July 2000, and was in 40th place on the US Billboard Hot 100 and number 2 in the UK. The song won the Grammy for best recording dance at the 2001 Grammy Awards.

Anyway, the song lyrics are funny to listen to. Do you have a favourite song?
I would like to hear what is your favourite song. TJ

Jessica Mauboy is one of my favourite singers because she is an inspiration to women and all future singers. Jessica Mauboy is 34 years old and she lives in Darwin, Australia. She has one sibling who’s named Sandra Mauboy and that siblings age is 40 years. (She is older than her sister Jessica). Both of their parents’ names are Ferdy (father) and Therese (mother). Jessica Mauboy has achieved six top ten albums in Australia as well as two number one hits. Jessica’s singing journey started in 2006 and she has won 40 awards from 108 nominations. She is an Australian singer. She is or was dealing with anxiety. Jessica Mauboy was inspired by Mariah Carey.  
How has Jessica Mauboy impacted on other people? She has a strong singing voice (like every other singer) nationally and internationally and has always been an advocate for women’s rights. 

Jessica Mauboy was born on August 4, 1989, in Darwin, Northern Territory, Australia. Jessica Mauboy likes to have her fun just like every other person or singer. She likes to hike in her free time and she likes adventuring for her fun time to focus on mental wellbeing/ health.   

This is a quote made and said by Jessica: “The first thing I do when I get home is take off my shoes and go barefoot”. This is going straight to my heart because this is how I truly feel about the quote. It’s a great quote Jessica! 

Jessica is a good singer and I look up to her and if I ever sang on the voice and I got all four chair turns I would have to pick Jess because I think she is so much fun and she is such a good person in my opinion. I love Jessica Mauboy. 
Which artist or celebrity do you like?  Angelina
 

My favourite singer is Taylor Swift the reason I love her music is because she writes many songs that bring me joy and remind me of many memories.
Some of my favourite Taylor Swift songs are Welcome to New York, You belong to me, and Shake it off. These songs make me feel like dancing. Her music takes me back on a journey.
 
When I first started listening to some of her music, I first heard Love Story. I was singing it with lyrics since I didn’t know any words but the more I have listened to it the more I know all the words and this makes me feel proud and I always sing word for word on each song. She is best known for Love Story because in my option this is her most popular song 
 
Did you know Taylor Swift is named after James Taylor I didn’t know this but now I do.
She has won so many awards for being a famous artist and having the most popular music.
 
She started writing music when she was 12 years old. It's so good when you start something when you are young and then you one day achieve your dreams. She has even been in the Guinness world record book in 2016 for the most million-selling weeks on the US album charts. She has loads of different hobbies such as cooking different meals like myself. She loves the colour red. Funny fact, red means my name and she also loves to travel to many different places.
 
Did you know Taylor wrote a book when she was a young adult she wrote it in 2015. It was called “A Girl Named Girl” and her parents still have a copy. Have you ever read her book? I haven't but I would to read it one day. Scarlett
 
 
Today I'm going to talk about Alecia Beth Moore or as she's better-known P!NK.  
So let's get the party started and I’ll throw in some facts about her because like a new friend it's nice to get to know a person. The basics first, P!nk’s full name is Alicia Beth Moore Hart, she is 43 years old (born September 1979), married to Carey Hart and has two children Willow Sage Hart (12) and Jameson Moon Hart (6).
 
She has 9 studio albums, a greatest hits album and an abundance of awards to her name. 3 Grammy awards, 1 daytime Emmy award, 7 MTV video music awards, 2 MTV Europe awards, 2 People's Choice Awards, named Billboards woman of the year (2013) and the Britts outstanding contribution to music award (2019). She’s a big supporter also of charities like; No kid hungry, Make-a- wish foundation, Planned parenthood, Human rights campaign and is an ambassador for UNICEF USA. 
 
I love P!nk because she’s not afraid of hard or controversial topics and if she's about it she’ll let everyone know she's onboard and ready to support the cause. She’s a wonderful singer and very energetic and I'm going to say brave performer. She’s been known to fly around stadiums singing upside down and tumbling down silks because she likes to put on an entertaining show. I have seen her live twice (Beautiful Trauma Tour & The Truth About Love Tour) and I was not disappointed!  
 
My Favorite P!nk Album is I’m Not Dead, which was released in 2006. It was an album that I listened to a lot with my best friend, and it just reminds me of all the fun we had.  A more recently released song of P!nks that I love is called “Cover me in sunshine” that she sings with her daughter Willow and it's truly beautiful.  Shan
 
 
Fun facts about the rapper that I like his name Eminem.

• Fact number 1 Eminem’s real name is Marshall Bruce Mathers the third.
• Fact number 2 he was born on 17th October in 1972 (He is 50 years old).

Why do I love his songs?  Because he tells a story about the journey of his life through his songs. One of my favourite songs of his is called "Lose Yourself". I like to listen to that song when I’m anxious because it helps to me calm down slowly. He started rapping at the age of fourteen years old and his first album was released in 1996. He even worked as a cook once before he started rapping.

My favourite band of all time has to be Hanson. Myself and my older sister Lisa went to see them live in concert. It was a different experience. My younger sister Sarah and myself went to see Justin Bieber live in concert and it was an amazing night.

I am grateful to have my sisters to go to a concert with. Also myself and my fiancé went to see Ed Sheeran live on stage at the MCG. It was an amazing experience.
