One Direction is the best
One Direction are an English-Irish pop boy band based in London, consisting of Niall Horan, Zayn Malik, Liam Payne, Harry Styles and Louis Tomlinson. They signed with Simon Cowell's record label Syco Records after being formed and finishing third in the seventh series of the British televised singing competition The X Factor in 2010. Propelled to international success by the power of social media, One Direction's three albums Up All Night, Take Me Home and Midnight Memories released in 2011, 2012 and 2013 respectively, broke several records, topped the charts of most major markets, and generated hit singles, which include "What Makes You Beautiful" and "Story Of My Life".
Their achievements include two BRIT Awards and four MTV Video Music Awards. According to Nick Gatfield, the chairman and chief executive of Sony Music Entertainment UK, One Direction represented a $50 million business empire by June 2012. They were proclaimed 2012's "Top New Artist" by Billboard.[1] By April 2013, the band had an estimated personal combined wealth of £25 million.[2] After the release of Midnight Memories, One Direction became the first band in 60 years to have their first three albums debut at no 1 in the US. Additionally, the album was a global success, selling 1.2 million units in its debut week and becoming the fastest-selling album of 2013 in the UK.

    In the wake of Liam Payne’s new baby, and the several reactions of fans and anti-fans I decided to take a closer look at the rhetoric between artist and fans, as well as the ill perceived image of fans by other audiences. In 2013 the movie “This Is Us” by Morgan Spurlock was released. The movie is a documentary about the biggest boy band since Take That and Backstreet Boys, One Direction. The motion picture didn’t only focus on the band and their Take Me Home tour, it also had an emphasize on their…

    In a world full of imitations, the Backstreet Boys are definitely not just another fabricated, bubblegum-pop boy-band, but are a multi-talented group of real musicians. With each Backstreet Boy having his own unique experiences in such areas as: acting, singing, modeling, and playing instruments, it is obvious that it would add flavor to their phenomenal voices, and lead them to fame and fortune. "Honestly, looking at them for the first time with their country, down to earth, all American boy image, I thought they were out of their heads. Eventually, their vocal abilities and their passion for music changed my mind," stated their former manager, Johnny Wright on VH1 Music Television. Although it may seem as if success was easily handed over to them, these five regular guys from Orlando, Florida experienced many struggles on their bumpy road to the top.…

    Compare/Contrast Essay

    On February 8th 2006, two legendary proclaimed musicians coupled together to perform a masterpiece of a song. The artists were, songstress and songwriter, Mary J. Blige and, songwriter and musician, Bono. The song was Bono’s own chart-topping hit titled “One”. The place was at the 2006 Annual Grammy Awards, a place that author Don Franks describes as “the only peer-presented award to honor artistic achievement, technical proficiency and overall excellence in the recording industry” (113). The end result was amazing. Each one of these two award-winning artists is recognized as a genius in their own right by the entertainment industry. They are one in the same in that they each continuously entertain an impressive amount of fans and send similar messages through their lyrics, but they are at the same time very different because their backgrounds, styles, and audiences are widely varied. Viewers everywhere were delighted by the outcome when these two phenomenal entertainers collaborated for a once in a lifetime performance.…

    Music Appreciation

    A few weeks ago I attended a recital/concert in the UMHB auditorium performed by the Waco orchestra (I think that’s who it was). At first when I got there, I wasn’t paying attention because I was bored and knew I was only there to get my fine arts experience credit. After about two songs, I remembered that I was in Music Appreciation and some of the songs they were playing, I heard in class before. I began to tune into to certain instruments and listen to their unique sound and what significant part they played in the song. I also began to realize that I was catching on to some of the patterns in the melody, for example ABBABBA. If I had never been in the music appreciation class I wouldn’t have done any of those things, but it’s just ironic that when you take a class like this, you find yourself paying attention to certain things in music that you never would have found yourself doing prior to the fact. One thing that really interested me was that in one song, a woman who was playing the trumpet had her own solo part. For one, I honestly didn’t expect her to be playing a trumpet, as bad as that sounds. Secondly, I didn’t expect her to be as good as she was. I was in shock at some of the notes she was hitting, and I admit that I was pretty impressed. I played the trombone in middle school so of course I had to watch the trombone players while reminiscing that I used to be the one up there doing that, I was pretty good. After not playing for so long, I forgot the notes and the certain places you slide the horn to make a certain note. Sometimes I wish that I could still play because I believe that being able to play an instrument is a beautiful talent. I would definitely go to another musical now because it’s fun when you’re there to listen and admire, instead of just being there because you have to. When you’re actually involved with the concert, it makes being there a lot more fun and makes you appreciate the work and practice that was done to…
