Since I was younger I liked the music hip-pop and rap. I enjoyed seeing movies about street dances. I would like to hear how to dance, but I think it will take me a long time to learn. Also, it looks easy, but it is really hard. Street dancing takes a lot of time to practice and be a pro. If you notice most of the street dancers are pretty fit and that is because it uses all your strength to pull a dance movie. If I had someone to teach me how to dance it it would make me happy and not. I will be happy because I would make one of my "dreams" come true, I wouldn't be that happy because it is going to cost me a lot to learn a step, but I will put all my effort. My sister also would like to learn how to dance it. With her also learning it we could help each other practice. Since I was younger my parents don't like that type of music so, I would have to hear the music they liked and I could only hear what I liked when they weren't around or the music had to be low. That way they wouldn't give bad comments about the music.

Poem

English version
While talking to me and I looked at you, 
time stopped in the middle instantly: 
love called me and I obey. 
While you whispered to me and I loved you, 
feelings rose, 
sent to your voice, 
the sky was visible in your eyes, 
and pronounced wanting in your lips.



Spanish version 
Mientras me hablabas y yo te miraba,
se detuvo el tiempo en medio instante:
el amor me llamaba y yo le obedecía.
Mientras me susurrabas y yo te amaba,
se alzaron los sentimientos,
mandó tu voz,
el cielo se hizo visible en tus ojos,
y yo pronuncié el querer en tus labios.

Song that makes everyone want to dance and to be happy

The song happy by Pharrell has impacted everyone because it has been changing people lives in the way that this song makes everyone so happy. Watching and hearing this video has changed people from been all moody and angry.  The sound and beat and the words that Pharrell sings has a big meaning it makes kids parents teachers happy like my English teacher when she heard this song started dancing and really liked this song. Hearing this song changes people way of looking at the world today. If you watch the music video you seem to like it and sometimes even try to dance the way everyone else is dancing in the video.  I even like this song because it has a happy beat and everyone in the video is happy and singing of joy.  I really enjoy listening to this song it makes my day a whole lot better because it shines my day. The first time I listened to this song it kind of was annoying but know that I have seen the video it makes since that people are always happy dancing in the streets joyfully excited and happy snapping their fingers and doing amazing tricks. You will also see in the video children doing flips and cool tricks this video was to make people laugh sing and be happy. Well as you can see I really like this video because it express feelings and because it makes my teacher want to dance in front of the classroom.

Band Names

This article informs how many bands or artists when picking their name they have used almost the same name. They say that the two most common words are “black” and “DJ.” Also there have been other names that have been used are white, John, Michael, Paul, and Jesse. Bob Boilen, Stephen Thompson from NPR Music, and Robin Hilton have made a tag cloud with the names that are used more often, but the statistics are only from the bands that are going to play in the SXSW this year. If you would like to make your own band name you can check the article where there are some links that could help you out.

I had never realized how often many names get repeated. I had never thought about that. I don’t think that many people have noticed that before because you mostly you just heard the name of an artist or of a band, but really don’t pay much attention to it. It is amazing how these people that looked over the names and did the little statistics. It is pretty cool that they took their time to realize this. Probably people will now pay more attention to names of artists or of bands now that this article is posted on a blog where many people might visit often.

http://www.HIstoy of the Banda Arrolladora

I really like how this article gives information of how they got the name Banda La Arrolladora and what they went through to get this band and gives a brief history of the band. This is a band from Mexico this band got there name from a part in Mexico and this would of never existed without the help of Rene Camacho. This band has created around 30 albums that is incredible and it consists of 17 people. There are two singers and everyone else just plays instruments. They sing sad, in love and about their past they also sing songs that have a really nice rhythm. This band started getting hits in 1997.

I like how this band never gave up and those that always kept trying and do to that they have a lot of hits and they never lost hope. There may have been a lot of rumors about them but they ignored that because what they really wanted to accomplish was to sing live and have hits.

 I really enjoy how this band sings. It helps me relax and forget all of my problems. I enjoy every song I am a big fan of them. I enjoyed reading this article because it helps you understand what people had to go through to become a band and what people went through to become famous.
