I think Kyla is right about the fact that Jennifer Lopez is multi-dimensional and talented in many different ways. I actually believe that it is this part of her persona that makes her successful. She may not have the strongest voice or be the greatest fashion designer in the world, but when you stop to consider how many things she does well, I think the cumulative effect is what drives her to success in all of these different forms of entertainment. One of the most important things Kyla said is that Lopez remembers where she came from I think a lot of people support her because of that fact.
I never realized that Britney Spears had so many accomplishments before I read Nicole's post. Spears is someone who I definitely consider a performer. All of the special effects in her videos and in her on-stage performances reinforce this fact. People come to her...
A key part of entertainment is putting on a spectacle, which Britney is really good at doing with all of her props, lighting, and pyrotechnics. She is one of the most complete performers today.
Like Shaina suggested in her post, Michael Jackson is certainly one of the more accomplished pioneers in the entertainment industry. No one can deny that, or take anything away from him in terms of performing, dancing, singing, and even song writing and production work. I sometimes think that all of his accomplishments may have affected his personal life negatively, however. Because he excelled so much at so young an age, he really didn't have a chance to have a childhood. I think this fact accounted for some of his idiosyncrasies, and led him to believe that life itself was one big performance -- which somewhat distanced him from reality.
(Hip-hop History) Graffiti is also known as writing, and is not dance.

This was an avenue for citizens to make political and social commentary, and even for gangs to mark their territory. Folks would mark their areas with "tags" like FRANK 207, TAKI 183 and several
Fortune Affect Grand Master Flash's Political Message? Music is one of the most powerful forms of communication. It utilizes different types of information networks to cut across linguistic and social boundaries. In several occasions music has the potential to relate to politics and power. From the songs of sorrow sung by slaves in the south, to the revolutionary nature of jazz, blues, and rhythym and blues (R&B) during the activist
" (Blow, Kurtis) The entire movement revolved around a new way to dress, dance, talk and even walk. "The way they danced, dressed, walked, and talked was unique, as opposed to most of the disco artists and fans of the time, which were not as in touch with the urban streets of America." (Blow, Kurtis) Hip-hop represented the new generation of blacks suffering in urban poverty. The passion and truth generated
In the flower-drum dance, they performers used drums as they danced. Most Chinese dances derived from "folks" or people who danced during celebrations in communities until the Han dynasty (WorkArtsWest 2005). In the Han era, a musical entertainment court would be established for the imperial court, documented and enhanced folk songs and dances. The political stability and economic prosperity that followed during the Tang dynasty allowed the growth and flourishing
Technology in Musicals Musical theatre has existed in some form for centuries. Theatre is an art form that allows many emotions to be expressed through acting and music. While talented performers are most responsible for being characters to life and performing the music contained in the production, musical theatre also relies on other factors to guarantee the success of a musical. These factors are inclusive of ambience (i.e. The way that
Raymond Loewy. At first I thought I wanted to focus on a single design item that he was responsible for, such as the Lucky Strike logo, the coke bottle design or the shell icon for shell gasoline, or the minimalistic Loewy clock. However, I realized that primarily it would be difficult to find a single item that spoke to me more strongly than others: it would simply be impossible
