Inspirational female singers
Wednesday’s class was very different
from what we normally do in class and I really enjoyed it. I liked how we all
got into a circle so we could make sure we could see everyone as they talked
about their essays. I found it very interesting to hear who everyone had chose
as their most inspirational female artist. The female artist that I had chosen
was Carrie Underwood. She is one of the most down to earth celebrities, which
is something that really draws me to her. I also absolutely adore her voice. It’s
so real and so pure that it is almost impossible to listen to her music without
getting the chills. She also has such a strong faith and she’s not afraid to
sing about that. She could get a lot of criticism for singing so much about her
faith but her songs never really shove it in your face so I believe that she
expresses her faith beautifully.
I also really enjoyed learning about
Fiona Apple. I have heard of her name multiple times in the past but I had never
actually heard any of her songs. I was pleasantly surprised once we listened to
three of her songs. Even without listening to the songs yet, her lyrics just on
paper were so deep and moving and it only got better once we heard those lyrics
in the song. I really enjoyed hearing her music and I will probably start to
listen to more of her songs now.
I really enjoyed listening to everyone’s
presentation and learning about their most inspirational female artist. It was
so great to hear the reasons why everyone chose who they chose. I feel like it
allowed me to learn more about that person by seeing who they chose as their
most inspirational female singer.
Nicole, I also enjoyed learning about Fiona Apple. I had never heard of her before until Professor Santos mentioned her and I was surprised that I enjoyed her songs and how deep of a meaning her lyrics had.
ReplyDeleteIt makes me happy to know I am not the only one who enjoyed Wednesday's class! I loved listening to others share parts about their musical inspirations and their stories. I think it allows for a more accepting atmosphere. Even though I believe we were all a little uncomfortable sharing, it made for a really great class!
ReplyDeleteI also found myself shocked by how much I actually like Fiona Apple now. I actually can't stop listening to a few of her songs. Great post Nicole!
I really liked this post. I feel like as a class, being in a circle and sharing our papers brought us closer together. I also really liked listening to Fiona Apple. Her songs are different, but I think that's what drew me to her. Like I mentioned in my post, she's not this cookie cutter image of what the media thinks people in the public eye are "suppose" to be like. She's her own person. Good post
