MUSIC REVIEW



One of my favorite singers is Beyonce. She is 27 years old and from the United States. She was a member of the group called "Destiny's child", which was dispersed and she is a solo singer now. She is noted for her beautiful voice and attractive looks. She is also an actress and is in the movie called " Dream Girls"and so on. She used to sing songs which could be always listened to at clubs. But she started singing a ballad as well as dance music. That is why a lot of people of a wide age group got to like her music.

The genre of her songs is R&B. She dances very well and her dance is modern. Her songs are so rhythmical that can make listeners feel like dancing. Most songs are sung with electric sound. Her voice is so powerful and clear. She always sings a song with enthusiasm, so she looks like she is a real heroine in a story of her songs. The way she sings fascinates a lot of people when they listen to her songs.

Most of all, I like the rhythm of her songs. Her songs are sometimes fast and high but sometimes slow and gentle. I don't really understand everything what she says in her songs because of my difficulties in listening to music in English. But once I see lyrics, I get to like her songs more and more. Some of her songs are in women's point of view. I feel the same way as the lyrics she sings. Especially, I like "If I were a boy". This song is about a girl and a boy. In this song, she imagines what she would do if she was a boy. The girl in this song wants a boy to know how she feels and hurts. And she is telling that if she was a boy, she would care about a girl much more than the boy she already knew does. This song conveys how dissatisfied she is with love with the boy. And then the girl in this song gave up believing him. I understand how she feels and when I listen to this song, I also become sad, but get power from this song as well.

I can be happy and feel comfortable at the same time when I listen to her songs. I think most musician keeps singing their songs the same way all the time, and it will result in that makes me think all of their music sounds the same. However, Beyonce has some kinds of music so that I will never be tired of listening to her songs.

  1. Good post. I think it would be better if you added a video of 'If I Were A Boy'. Not because Beyonce looks fantastic in a police uniform (!), but because it is good for a reader to read and listen to a blog post.

    That song does sound different from other Beyonce songs that I've heard...
