Pop Music
Pop Music as we learned in class this week is the popular music that stands out to people, makes top charts, and is just overall popular. We focused on a couple specific artists like Madonna which was popular in the '80s and also Lady Gaga which is a more current pop artist. Madonna sang songs that expressed situations that usually weren't expressed through music. This brought her many viewers and allowed her to get popular. In her songs she expressed a girl getting pregnant and having a parent accept it. In the video, it showed the difficulties that go along with this type of situation. In another song, Madonna expressed a specific dancing style that was popular amongst gay people. She used these dancers and dancing styles in her music video which attracted viewers. lady gaga used lyrical content and physical features to become popular. wearing different style clothing and using lyrics that showed people that it is ok to be who you truly are. In her song Born this way, she shows all different types of people in the world and she expresses that everyone is beautiful in their own way. In another song we went over, lady gaga expressed a very traumatic topic of sexual harassment. this got on a documentary and got many viewers to follow gaga and her music. Both of these artists used their power of speech to express topics that usually arent and allowed people to have a voice through them.

I think it is important that both of these talented artists expressed themselves in different ways but got the same outcome. They both sang about things that mattered and that made them who they are. They expressed themselves through their music and didn't let anyone's views of them change what they did.
