King Of Pop's Thriller

All three of these songs had a significant part popular culture and helped make Michael Jackson's mark in the music industry. Below, I will analyze the song's musical characteristics based on why the songs had become such tremendous hits, the history and song meaning behind the lyric, and how the song performed on the charts in the past and present. Michael is not just a leader, but the leader, and by analyzing the songs Thriller, Beat It, and Billie Jean, it is very easy to tell how he became such an international superstar and forever musical legend.

Taylor Swift possesses great power, and with great power comes great responsibility. She demonstrated this week that she could wield that power for good, when she went against Apple this week, and won. Even Samsung had some trouble accomplishing that.

Music videos are often seen as the parts of the song’s story that an artist has trouble putting into words. Sometimes these details are unnoticeable at first glance, while some are essential to giving us vital information on what the song is actually about. Michael Jackson’s famous “Thriller” music video is often viewed as a Halloween binge watching classic, but judging by both the visual and audio components, it may be more than just a crowd of dancing zombies. There are quite a few moments throughout the video that can easily be seen as symbolisms of abuse, stalking, and rape/sex. By viewing the Thriller music video with this thought in mind, I hope to help you see the true evil lurking in the dark.

Also, Swift has especially influenced young girls. Her song lyrics capture the misfortunes of her teenage years; this is relatable for many young girls (Mesfin 1). They look up to her because they think if Taylor Swift went through all the tragedies of teenage years and survived then they can too. This shows how Swift impacted the society. She has changed the way in which people think of themselves providing them with a sort of medicine to ease their pains.

"Taylor Swift is an amazing artist" said by Sam Smith. Taylor Swift is an strong person who never lets anyone bring her down. Even though some people say Taylor Swift voice isn't powerful, But fifty three million people on twitter would disagree, her sweetness and lyrics inspires her fans and she's has broke many records, and also won tremendous amount of awards.

She is a 10 time Grammy award winner, and among the five artists to ever win a Grammy for album of the year she is the only female to ever win more than once. Her hit song “You Belong with Me” resonated with millions of young girls many of which connected with the lines “If you could see/ That I’m the one /Who understands you/ Been here all along/ So why can’t you see/ You belong with me”. She turns ordinary teenage girl experiences into fresh country and pop songs. She grew up fascinated by music which led to her success as a Country/Pop artist. She constantly strives to make sure that her fame does not get in the way of her truly being herself. Taylor does not read into any of the articles about her in magazines to avoid getting caught up in all the gossip that publicity spreads about her. Taylor has made a huge impact on music industry, from selling out Madison Square Garden, to record breaking songs and albums. Award winning singer and song writer Taylor Swift, is still forming her legacy as she continues to make history in the music industry, while garnering a large fan base worldwide.

Micheal Jackson and Madonna were one of the best artists to take advantage of the emerging video age. Micheal Jackson’s music videos changed the dimenision of pop music in the 1980s and earned the title King of Pop. His energy and highly ambitious dance was the main aspect of his dance music videos. The first of his music videos was the extended twelve-minute video “Thriller” directed by Hollywood’s John Landies. Like Micheal Jackson, Madonna’s music is usually plays by dance beat. She has dance-club background. Her first recordings were success in New York dance-club scene.

Additionally, Taylor references to her reputation a bunch in the music video. Ironically, her new album, including ‘“Look What You Made Me Do” and “Ready For It” will be called reputation. On the other hand, she also mentions her reputation throughout the music video whether on her shirt on or a cut up airplane. Showing how badly she is trying to change her reputation, whether for better or for worse, no one is quite sure yet.

Thesis statement: Taylor Swift is one of the most successful female artists in the world who portrays her personal experiences through her music.

Have you ever had those certain catchy songs that you just can't get out of your head? For me Taylor Swift is always at the top of my playlist. Taylor Swift was born on December 13, 1989 and has a family background of singing in her family her grandmother was an opera singer. Ever since Taylor started recording her albums she has always wrote and performed all of her songs. She started performing at a very young age. At the age of 11 Taylor Swift performed the national anthem at a Philadelphia 76ers NBA game. (??) The contributions to Music demonstrated by the career of Taylor Swift to prove beyond a doubt the Country Music Hall of Fame should induct this singer Taylors worthiness of this award is shown in her awards, charitable contributions and impact.

The music video of this song starts off with a handsome man, played by Sean O’Pry, arriving at a mansion in his Shelby AC Cobra. The camera then cuts to Taylor Swift sitting on a bed and singing while holding a cat. The guy Taylor is expecting enters the mansion where she is waiting for him. The camera then cuts to both of them having dinner and dancing together in the hallways and riding their bikes around a room as well as to Taylor painting a portrait of the guy. During the chorus, they

Well, 2009 was when Taylor Swift reigned over the radio airwaves with songs from her sophomore album Fearless. She was becoming more and more popular because of the songs she wrote. William Michael Morgan is also a songwriter from Nashville, and has worked with Swift.

In 2009, the wild child that we all know today, Kesha, came onto the pop scene competing with the likes of Britney Spears, Katy Perry and Lady Gaga, some of the biggest names in pop music today. Her debut single “Tik Tok”, has achieved great accomplishments including ruling the Billboard Hot 100 chart for nine consecutive weeks and eventually becoming the number one song of the year. Kesha did not stop there; later on in 2010 she released her debut album “Animal” which became the first debut album by a female artist to debut at number one on the Billboard 200 Albums Chart since Leona Lewis’ “Spirit” in 2008. The starlet went on to release another number one hit “We R Who We R”; by then Kesha seemed to be an unstoppable force in pop culture.

Taylor Swift is a superstar in her own right and after winning Grammy this year for 1989, she is certainly the reigning queen in the music industry but it does not look like everyone wants to be in her popular squad.

For my Taylor Swift assignment, I took very detailed notes on the music video to try and help me get a good idea of exactly what was going on. I then decided to have my main focus on the dark spots on Taylor Swifts career. I decided to focus on these because most of the music video focused in on her past and how it has changed her to be a new person. In the video, there was also reference to taboos which I explained in my writing. I was very confident on this paper and decided not to revise for that reason.
