Music Genre

My Music Genre Analysis.

The Genre that i picked is the pop genre I like most people love pop music and that is why i picked it.The list of songs that i think exemplify the genre are Kayne West - Lost In The World, Enrique Iqlesias - I Like It and Kesha - Blow. I think that these 3 songs are nothing alike but are unlike any other music, just the artist themselves are different as in like Kayne West is a darker but very much out of the box. When it comes to Kesha nobody is alike because she has her own style and her music is very up beat and so to say "glitter", it's not everyday that you will see a Zebra in a music video.

The pop genre was founded in the 1920's.
The five influences that shaped the pop genre are:
1. The harmonies from gospel, soul music and instrumentation from Jass, Country, and rock music.
2. In  the 1940's the microphones design had changed in a way that made is at loud a more intimate singing style.
3. Television has helped make the pop genre what it is today by putting it out into the world and show casing what we love today.
4. Pop was greatly affected by the rise of music television channels like MTV, which "favoured those artists such s Michael Jackson, Madonna, and the Prince.
5. Other Countries and States have helped make pop music what it is today because there is a lot of different people that have changed the way that the pop genre has changed.

The artists i think the have contributed to the development of the pop genre are Madonna, Michael Jackson, and the Prince.
I think that Madonna had contributed to the development of the pop genre by creating music no one would have every thunk of, she has taken personal exercises and made beautiful music out of it. Now even knowing that i hate Michael Jackson he has still created the most popular and amazing music that everyone loves, Michael Jackson has contributed to the pop genre by making music that if your sad it will make you happy and makes you dance and forget the world. The Prince has influenced the pop genre by not doing everything the same as everyone else does he goes out of the box. All of these artist having the visual talent that i believe one would need but also the ability of knowing good music.

Six stylistic elements of the pop genre are:
1. All songs are around 3 minutes long.
2. Most have up beat Music.
3. Some have fast singing.
4. Some would say they are talking about love and their life.
5. Most pop artist will dress in a way that not everyone would, everyday.
6. The way they dance.
I would have to say that if you showed me a music video from the pop genre i would look for these 6 stylistic elements and just know that it was a pop genre song.

I think that these two songs Adele - Rolling In The Deep and Tinie Tempah - Written In The Star are similar because they talk about growing up and relationships, family.
