Adele: Her full name is Adele Laurie Blue Adkins, and she was born on may 5th 1988 in Tottenham, North London, England, UK. She is a singer-songwriter, her genre of music is soul and pop, while she is an instrumental multi-tasker. She plays guitar, piano, bass, celesta, percussion, keyboard and of course, she sings.. Adele has 2 albums, one called 19 and the other 21. The cool thing about her albums is that she names them after how old she is.

"She, she ain't real, she ain't going to be able to love you like I will"

My Opinion: Adele is an amazing singer, with a message behind every piece of writing. Although most of the messages are about cheating and love, she makes them appear so deeply its amazing. In this song, we talk about how hes leaving her for another girl .. I am able to sing Adeles music, which makes me even more interested.

"Your all I need, When I'm holding you tight, if you walk away, I will suffer tonight"

My Opinion:  This song is obviously about love. Personally, I love this song, it makes me think of true love, of those who love each other so much and their relationship is so strong, because their love is to strong to tare apart. Christina Aguilera has an amazing voice, and it has taken me so long to try and sing like her. She has a roughness in her voice that makes it 10% even better than it already was.



#4... Astronaut ~ Simple Plan

Simple Plan: They are a French-Canadian pop punk band from Montreal, Quebec. In this group we have Pierre Bouvier as lead vocalist, Jess Stinco as lead guitarist, Sebastien Lefevbre as rhythm guitarist and backup vocalist, finally we have David Desrosiers on bass guitar, backup vocalist and Chuck Comeau on drums and percussion. Simple Plan has 4 albums, "No pads, no helmets, just balls", "Still not getting any...", "Simple Plan" and "Get Your Heart On".

"Can anybody tell me why? I'm lonely like a satellite"

My Opinion: This is a song about a guy who is lonely, and has no one to talk to, and nothing to do. Hes life is completely empty. As if someone forgot about him, sending S.0.S to find someone who cares for him, someone who will rescue him from him lonely self. Everyone is down on earth, with someone to talk to, and things to do, while he is up in "space" his own little world, by himself.

#5... The Man Who Can't Be Moved ~ The Script

The Script: They are an Irish rock band from Dublin. This group consists of 3 guys, Danny O'Donoghue is the lead vocalist, keyboardist and guitarist, Mark Sheehan is backup vocalist and guitarist, while Glen Power is on drums. The Script has 2 albums, "The Script" in 2008 and "Science and Faith" in 2010 and they have sold close to 6 million albums.

"I'm not broke, I'm just a broken hearted man"
My Opinion: The Man Who Can't Be Moved, is a song about a guy, that's waiting on a girl .. Obviously they have broken up or something, maybe they haven't talked in a while. Anyways, they met on the corner of a street where this guy remains, waiting for his "princess" to come back. I think this song could actually be compared to certain teenagers who are in love with that one perfect guy, or girl and i just waiting for them to realize, that they are perfect for each other.




 
#6... Moves Like Jagger ~ Maroon 5
link: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=xyJXo03c6mc&feature=fvst

Maroon 5: This is an american pop rock band from Los Angeles, California. In high school, lead vocalist and guitarist Adam Levine, keyboardist Jesse Carmichael, bass guitarist Mickey Madden, and drummer Ryan Dusick formed a garage band named Kara's Flowers and they released one album in 1997. After a short period of time, they re-formed with guitarist James Valentine and pursued in a new direction known as Maroon 5. Now known as Maroon 5 they have two more guys added to the band, Matt Flynn and PJ Morton.

"I don't need to try to control you, look into my eyes and I'll own you" 

My Opinion: This song is about dancing, well a guy that thinks he has dance moves like the famous Mc Jagger. He is trying to pursue a girl, into thinking that he is a good dancer, and that she is going to like "fall in love with him" when he dances.

#7... You Da One ~ Rihanna
link: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=rlZdez9DkXs

Rihanna: Robyn Rihanna Fenty known as Rihanna is a Barbadian recording artist and actress. Born in Saint Mitchell,  Barbados. She is the highest-selling digital artist in US history, having sold 47,571,000 albums as of 2012 . Rihanna has released 6 studio albums, Music of the Sun, A Girl Like Me, Good Girl Gone Bad, RatedR, Loud and Talk that Talk.


"Baby we meant to be, you got me, smilin all the time"

My Opinion: This boy is always on her mind, she is always talking about how he makes her smile, and how he makes her stay. This is personally a great relationship, when a couple can goof off and make eachother laugh, without everything having to be so serious and romantic it is really great. Because if your always serious, and everything has to be planned perfectly, your obviously not going to have a good time with this person.




#8... A Thousand Years ~ Christina Perri

Christina Perri: She is an American singer-songwriter and musician from Philadelphia. Her most famous song "Jar of Hearts" charted in the United States after it was featured on Fox television show, So You Think You Can Dance in 2010. On may 10, 2011 Christinas "Jar of Hearts" was featured on Glee (season 2 episode 20 "Prom Queen"). She has only recently had one album Lovestrong (2011-present)

"Watching you stand alone, All of my doubt suddenly goes away somehow, one step closer"

My Opinion: This song is about a girl waiting on a boy, and she is nervous to talk to him. When he is alone, with no one around she gets closer to him, because she obviously really likes him. Honestly, I dont think I have felt that way about anyone, but I do love this song. I love the rhythm of it and the piano, with the backup vocalists.
