Some concepts include a cute, cool, sexy, or weird. In the video “Replay”, SHINee used the cool and charming concepts. The charming concept can be seen in this the video, because the video revolves around the boys trying to impress an older girl and getting her attention. This can also be heard in the lyrics “Noonan neomu yeppeo”. Though the lyrics are in korean they are translate to mean “Noona you’re so pretty”, noona being the Korean word a male would use to address an older female. The cool concept comes later in the video during the dance break.

When I first watched “Replay”on Youtube, I remembered falling in love with the sound and the boys themselves. They gave off so much stage presence and positive energy that I couldn’t deny their music and efforts, even being eight years old at the time. I also remember looking them up to see what language it was in, if there were more songs, because they impacted me that much at such a young age. I felt a connection to the vibe and the dancing as well, so it was easy for me to appreciate the song and become a fan. SHINee was able to keep me wanting more music, and more videos from them. And even going back and watching the video other times, I still can feel the connection and love now that I did when I first watched the video in 2008. I even reached out to others, like my friend Yanni, who knows of SHINee, and their work to see if my reaction to the song could have been an overreaction. However, when I asked Yanni about how she felt when she first watched the “Replay” video and she said, “ I thought it was flawless! My eyes lit up every time I saw another member, and Taemin’s dancing was beyond compare! Honestly everyone should stan SHINee!”
Along with being able to make amazing, attention grabbing music, the members of SHINee were basically performing machines. The boys were able to use all of their talents, and charms to set the mood of the video, and capture the attention of the viewers. And with the help of concepts, the
When the second quarter ended, they waited while technicians set up the stage and sound props. This soon ended and Cassi and the other performers stepped onto the field in front of thousands. Cassi’s nerves switched into excitement as she looked at the crowd. It was sunny and beautiful and she loved to perform. This kind of performance, dancing, was what she was good at.
This song dominated the charts, “The No. 1 R&B track, again co-written by King, relied on a pointed bass line and ethereal, tender vocals, reaching the Top 5 on the pop charts as well. ”(Clarence 5).

I recently attended a ” Lurie Bell and the Campbell Brothers” concert at Zellerbach Theater this Friday. In terms of audience attendance I found the concert to be pretty well attended for the most part. The audience composition varied in aged but particularly there was most people in the middle aged and older demographic. Race wise I found that the race I observed that was most in attendance were African Americans followed by Caucasians.
Who would think a 10-day suspension from high school would ignite the hunger within Chancelor Bennett, or Chance the Rapper, to become the artist he is today? His teachers doubted his aspirations to be a musician, but in this small window of time he embarked on a journey to prove himself, thus the mixtape 10 Day was born. But he didn’t stop there. Chance the Rapper would go on to dilute the stagnant pool of rap and hip-hop to reflect important issues and emit a sound that uplifts and inspires. Songs that spread good vibes about love, worth, and respect, like his song “Everybody is something”, where he sings, “everybody is somebody’s everything, noboby’s nothing”.

On the night of October 13th, I had the pleasure of attending a seven-person ukulele band performance at the Eisenhower Auditorium at State College. The ukulele is basically just a smaller version of a guitar, but capable of an impressive range on four stings. It was the first time that I got an opportunity to watch such a divine performance by artists from across the Atlantic. The group showcased a unique talent by finding the hidden beauty between old tunes and new songs, which were harmoniously fused together. When I was going for the performance, I thought that it would be a two-hour long show where the band would just be playing the ukuleles while singing along but it was much more than that.
Incredibly immersed in the character, her movements, dispositions, singing, and scene work all showed all of the hard work put into the
They sang the best they could in front of their friends and family and sounded of one-hundred-fifty goddesses to make them proud. When the performance was over Janie looked out at the hundreds of seats and hundreds of faces staring at her smiling and she couldn’t help smiling to herself. The night was at its end and Janie felt that she was being torn from her newfound friends despite how elated she was to have been a part of
Fifth Harmony is a group of five girls who were brought together through a talent show called X-Factor. On the show each of the singers failed to impress the judges individually but together they received lots of recognition. The five girls all work very well together and tried to help themselves feel special since they work in such a judgemental and often negative industry. In some of their songs including “Who Are You”, they explore how being yourself is more important than following a crowd. Multiple of their songs include a concept called transcendentalism which is defined through the writings of Henry Thoreau and Ralph Emerson.

Hip-hop is an influential form of music that displays an artist’s honest and revealing story that many of the general public can relate to. One of the many songs that I can relate to is “Love Yourz” written by J Cole. The song talks about how Cole reflects on the most important things in life such as love and happiness. He realizes that the money and fame didn’t bring him the happiness he desired. To gain true happiness, he needed to appreciate himself and those that love him.
The “What Girls Are Made Of” Nike advertisement is inspired by a popular Russian song titled, “What Girls Are Made Of.” Judging by the title, the commercial is clearly geared towards girls, more specifically girls who are interesting in athletic activities and sports. While Nike’s objective is to sell its sports wear, it also sells an empowering message that defies stereotypes through the effective use of rhetoric. To begin, the advertisement begins in the setting of a stage and a large audience listening in agreement as a little girl in yellow charms, “Girls are made up of flowers, and rings and gossip and marmalade.” These are just few of many belittling stereotypical descriptives for a girl.
The girl in the music video shows an abundance of confidence in herself. She’s walking with pride, without caring about the attention she gets. People should be proud of the pathway they are walking, not
The dancers were observed to be full of energy which showed through their movements and dancing. Every movement was sharp and clean. Furthermore, the action portion of the basic dance elements was seen through the dancer’s basic movements that turned into dancing. For example, in one scene, the actor jumped off the table and broke into a little skip-glide dancing movement.
