Mandonna


Mandonna was very famous in America in the 1980s, her song was power and dynamic, like "Material Girl" "Like A Prayer" "Vogue" "Ray Of Light" crowed the top on music list. Besides on the stage, she is also famous, because she always did something surprised in the life. She has kissed women, dated Latino and African-American men,and features sex and sexuality prominently in her videos and books. She did these things, i suggested she simply wanted to gain money, honor and fame. "I am tough, i am ambitious, and i know exactly what i want. If that makes a bad woman, okay." She said before. Her varied tastes are for show and publicity. It can be attracted people's attention, She can appear on the television, on the internet, on the each person's discussion.

I like her songs, they are very different, they can give people another feeling, but these songs, nothing.

BLUES



According to a couple of blues songs,i think the history of the United States of America played significant impact on music,especially blues.Because America in the early,many black men were oppressed to do a lot of works,but it doesn't affect their enthusiasm of the music.They created The Blues!Because of they were opressed,so we can find the music has a little sad,likes "Love in vain" "Death letter"which we listened before.


I know many kinds of America musical style is derived from Blues,like jazz,rock and roll and so on.So Blues play an important role in the history of America music!


I hope everyone can enjoy this kind of music!
