This is one of my favorite songs. The name of this song is, I'm Supposed To Be in Love By Now by Jamie Foxx. This song carries a lot of meaning. This song is very smooth and he adds emphasis to the meaning of the song by how he sings it. Jamie Foxx is a very talented singer and actor. He prospers in all forms of entertainment. I really admire his work and him as a person.

My favorite song is Tru by Lloyd. This song is relatable in the real world. The music goes along well with the words and you can tell that this song simply came from the heart. All his thoughts were poured into this song. Every time I get in the car, I put this song on and act like I am performing it while I'm driving. It is stuck in my head. I love this song so much, it is so genuine and it has a definite meaning to it. ♥

My favorite song is No Weapon by Fred Hammond. This songs helps get through the hard times when i think no one or nothing can help me. Also, because it is written by one of my favorite gospel artist.When Fred Hammond sings you know that this comes from his heart because of how much he expresses his self in the song. Fred Hammond helps me understand when I don"t have anyone I still have God.

My favorite song is I Do Worship by John P. Kee. This song is very beautiful. I love the sound and melodies that gospel choirs bring to the table. When a gospel choir sings, it fills me with joy, and John P. Kee is one of my favorite gospel artists. His music is very enjoyable and reverent to God.

One of my favorite songs is In Case by Demi Lovato. The lyrics are so powerful and have meaning deeper than just words on paper. She sings about a lover/friend possibly coming back after they realize what they have missed out on leaving her. It was so hard to only pick one of my favorite songs by her because she is such an amazing singer/songwriter.

This one of my many favorite songs. The name of this song is So Amazing by Luther Vandross. Luther is my favorite R&b Soul male artist I wish he was still alive today but his music is very groovy to me. His voice is so smooth and really draws me in. I think I grew a love for his music through my grandmother and mother but I do not regret it one bit. Rest In Heaven to a LEGEND in my eyes there will never be another Luther Vandross.

One of my favorite songs is "Free Yourself" by Fantasia. I like this song because the lyrics have a meaning to them that stills resinates in relationships today. She is telling her boyfriend to not waste her time. The vocals for this song are amazing. This was the first song I ever learned all of the lyrics to. To this date, I still listen/sing this song.

My favorite song is Auditory Hallucination by Jang Jae In Feat NaShow. This song is apart of a drama soundtrack. I like the song because it accurately expresses the regret of a break up. The song is about how you miss you former partner so much that you start to hear Auditory hallucinations of their voice and sweet words. Its a very sad song that has a hopeless feeling to it. It also went well with the main character of the drama who had multiple personality disorder.

My favorite song is called " Love On the Brain " by Rihanna . I really love the song and the artist. Rihanna is just kind of a role model to me . Every time she sings i can just feel what she's going through. Specifically in " Love On the Brain." She hits every note perfectly in the song.

One of my favorite songs is Waterfalls by TLC. This is a really hard pick because I have a bunch of favorite songs in my playlist. However, Waterfalls talks about a guy not listening to his mother and his acts got him caught up which leads to his death. The moral is don't go to a quick, easy, dangerous, or an uncertain path because there is no telling on how it will end. It is better take familiar paths with known results, even if they are slow or less fun.

My favorite song is "Greater is Coming" by Jekalyn Carr. I like this song because it is very powerful and inspiring. It is about someone who has been through trouble, but God pulled her through and greater is coming. It is really relatable because a young person my age is the artist. Hearing someone my age sing so powerfully is very uplifting and unique.

My favorite song is Loved by You by Kirby Lauryen. I like that it is different because a lot of songs now-a-days sound the same to me. I think it helps that the artist that creates the song is not super-duper mainstream,to the point where you hear her song come on like 5 times on the radio in 30 minutes. It's like a hidden treasure. I've been playing this song over and over again for the past few weeks now. It never gets old to me. I also love the meaning of the song because alot of songs playing today are about drugs,alcohol and other bad things. This song brings me a little bit of the feeling I get when I listen to something like Patti Labelle's "If Only You Knew", for instance. I just get a feeling of joy in the out of stomach just listening to someone song about love. Of course it's not quite the same,but this song is the closest I can get for a song made today. That is why I love this song. It makes me feel nostalgic in a way.

I meant to say "in the pit of my stomach when someone sings about love".
DeleteOne of my favorite songs is "Crzy" by Kehlani Parrish. I listen to this song almost every day while doing homework. It gives me a little motivation and something to groove to while “trying” to be productive. I like it because she talks about how she had to work her way up from the bottom to the top. She also talks about how she is passionate about everything that she does and how everyone tries to count her out, but she keeps counting her blessings. Kehlani is a great artist with a unique style of writing. She tells her life through her songs and is very confident of where she came from. This will forever be one of my favorite songs, no matter how played out it gets

One of my favorite songs is Blessings by Chance the Rapper. The lyrics just always put me in a good mood when I hear the song. The style of his music is so new and different. His whole album was very inspiring to me. He talks about how to count your blessings and not take them for granted. We should always praise our respective God at all times and that is a big message in this song. He tells his life story and talks about why he makes music as well in the song. That is why it is one of my favorite songs and why I love it.

My favorite song around this time is Sucker For Pain by Lil Wayne, Eiz Kalifa, Imagine Dragon, Logic & Ty Dolla $ign featuring the X Ambassadors. The song is in the movie sucide squad and is amazing . It helps display how messed up the villians in the movie are and how resilient they are to change. It also a is a great mix of pop and hip-hop in my opinion. It also could help best represent the most prideful of people and how they will go through anything to accomplish there goal.

I have a lot of favorite songs, but my new favorite gospel song is Follow You by Christian Gray. I like this song because it has a lot of meaning behind it. It's a song that tells a story about how God is always there through hard times, and that all you have to do is follow him and you'll be okay.

My favorite song is Too Many Years by Kodak Black featuring PnB. This is my favorite song because it tells a story of how his life, Kodak, in and out the jail system. It also tells about how he has lost his friends. He lost them, some are locked up, and some were killed. This song expresses his inner most feelings and it really touches the heart if you listen to the lyrics deeply. It describes him, a strong black man that made bad decisions in life and regrets them. He is now in prison and facing up to 55 years. That is why he is one of my favorite artists and this is one of my favorite songs.

I have several songs and different genres that I enjoy listening to everyday! But if I had to pick a song that I'm literally in love with it would be, "I Am Not Alone" by Fred Hammond! It is a upbeat gospel song and its basically saying that you are not alone and the Lord is with you through every test, whether it's good or bad. Also that he promise to never leave you stranded. After listening to this song I have to give thanks for all the lessons and blessings that I have encountered in life because he never left. I listen to this throughout the day and advise other people to because at the end of the day, God is with you through every step and you are never alone! This song is a reminder. :)

My favorite song is "Listen" by Beyoncé. Since I was younger this song has always helped me express my emotions. In the song Beyoncé is wishing that someone in particular would listen to her and recognize all that she's done. When im upset or just need some time to myself I listen to this song and sing my heart out. Not only does this song help me emotionally, but it also helps me learn to use my diaphragm better.

I have several songs that are my favorite because they relate to me in so many. Yet, one of my top favorite is New Soul cover by Yael Naim. When Im having abrough week or i feel like people are just acting strange I play this song to take some of the heaviness off of me and my soul. This song helps me renew myself and realize I am different from others but it's okay. Im just trying to live life to the best of my abilities with the old stressful things in life. I get a quick sense of freedom and joy when i listen and sing along. I always find myself crying once I've, but they are absolutely tears of joy and understanding.

ReplyDeleteOne of my favorite songs is "Heaven" by Beyonce. In the song it seems as though she is singing from experience. Everytime Beyonce sings she sings from the heart. She sings with power and grace. Not only is she a good singer but she is one of the best performers of all time. Beyonce is the real G.O.A.T.

DeleteI have several favorite songs but my favorite song currently is What A Beautiful Name It Is by Hillsong Worship. It is my favorite song because it talks about just how wonderful the name of Jesus is. This is a new song by Hillsong. The lyrics of the song tells that there is no equal to the name of Jesus. It is one of the songs that I listen to in the morning and sing at my church almost every Sunday and also when I am discouraged. This song is uplifting!

ReplyDeleteI personally have a lot of artists and songs that I consider my "favorite". If I had to just pick one though it would be "Digits" by Young Thug. In the song Young Thug describes how things "keep going", like hustling and life. He also talks about being able to say " we ran up the digits , we ran up the money" once you've died. That's how he wants to enjoy his life, it's he his way of having fun. I also want to be able to go through life without money being a problem. I listen to this song everyday, it motivates me when I'm in a "funk" mood, and and when I'm having a "bad" day ,which everyone has. Like I stated earlier, I have a lot of artists and songs that I like but this would be my favorite one as of right now.

My favorite song at the moment is "Don't Touch My Hair" by Solange Knowles. This is my favorite song off her latest album "A Seat at the Table". Solange throughout out the song expresses the magic behind a woman's natural hair. She explains how in the African American Community a woman's hair is consider her crown jewel. She believes that a woman's natural hair is a way to break conformity from the ideal of beauty in today society. I have this song apart of my inspirational playlist that I use when I'm upset, stressed, or mad. The song has a happy uplifting soulful beat which I find empowering and helps me concur the day.

My favorite song is "Tell Me Lies" by Ann Marie because I like her as an artist and her genre. I cannot really tell you the name of the genre because it is a mix of RnB, Pop, and Rap. I just call it 'the in your feelings genre'. Ann Marie is one of the many artists that I love in this particular genre, but i could only choose one song. Any type of emotion that I am feeling I will listen to this song and others on repeat. If you haven't listened to this song you should reconsider.

I like music that can get me hype and right now "No Problem" by Chance the Rapper is that song. The music provides a beat that makes me wanna get up and dance. When I hear this song in the car me and my mom get really hype because nobody wants a problems with us. Chance has good message that if you have a problem with me don't be afraid to say it to my face.

My favorite song is Love is blind by Eve . This is my favorite song because it's not just a bunch of rhyming words to a beat , it tells a story. The story is about a women whose friend is a victim of domestic violence. The song really makes you think when you listen to it.

My favorite song would have to be by one of my favorite artist India Arie. It's her song "Pearls". This song among a few of her others are the reason why I started to sing and why I started to become interested in playing the guitar back in elementary school. The cool strums of the acoustic guitar perform wonderful chords that once heard have to be heard over again. The entire song is just very peaceful. Listening to songs with a smooth rhythm and beautiful chords is enough to calm me down from any situation that can happen. India's voice is one that is overlooked and her as a person is mostly overlooked because her songs came out in the late 90's early 2000's and she wasn't what was considered the "it girl". But to me she is I think what every woman who chooses to pursue music should be inspired by because of her style of writing. She's not the time to just write a song and just put it on the radio. Each and everyone of her songs has a message and was written based on a story. Pearls was telling of how a mothers in a small country scrape for pearls and burn their backs in the hot sun just to assure that their families are okay. She speaks of having courage, strong faith, and strength to get through everyday life because a lot of people who have everything don't have that while those who scrape for scraps are as happiest as can be. And that's why I love this song and her other music because she really just makes you think and second guess every small thing you worry about because there could be someone in a worse position.

My favorite song is “ End of the Road". The song is sung by the group “ Boyz ll Men. I like all of the group songs but I like this one the best. I really like all of the 90's music. But back to the point, I like the artist(s) because they all can sing beautifully with such great emotions. The song itself is beautiful. I listen to it in the morning while I'm getting ready for school, in the evening after I get out of school, and before I go to sleep. The big idea is that I really love the song. I like how it really shows love and expression, and it's not like music now in days with all of the cursing and stuff. It actually shows how he really love his girl and don't want to lose her, he really RESPECTS her.

One of my favorite songs is "Hallelujah".I especially like the Pentatonix version of the song. The parts in it are so simple but the song can be very good is sung well. This song means a lot of different things to a lot of different people in my opinion.

My favorite singer is Jazmine Sullivan. I love all of her songs although, "Forever Don't Last" is my absolute favorite. I love this song because I can actually relate to this song. I like Jazmine Sullivan not only because her name is Jazmine but her voice is very powerful. I like the song because of how she expresses her opinion about the term "forever". The song unlike any other song by artist nowadays she speaks truth that many can relate to.

My favorite song is WAYS by Jhene' Aiko. In this song she is speaking about her brother that committed suicide. The lyrics in the song state this time that he passed by saying "at forty four minutes to four" (3:16). WAYS stands for Why Aren't You Smiling.. that was the last thing her brother sent to her. The song basically has a very deep meaning. I like it because it inspires me to be better and to live life to the fullest. Hopefully by sharing this, some one will be inspired by it also.

Out of the abundant amount of songs I like, "Pretty Hurts" by Beyoncé is my favorite. Beyoncé has always been my favorite singer because of her beautiful voice and her meaningful & relatable lyrics. As a young woman, the phrase "pretty hurts" is often recited to me whenever I complain about how difficult it is being a girl and the constant yearn to always want to look "pretty." Often beauty for girls is being skinny, outward appearance being the focus. Which is why some girls deprive themselves of food and the nutrients that their bodies need, in hopes that they start slimming down and losing weight. To remain or get in shape the natural way by exercising, it takes "blood, sweat, and tears." In the industry, being skinny is the new "healthy" and being bigger is viewed as being "unhealthy" and "unfit" which is not what most editors are looking to advertise in their magazines. To be "pretty" it takes pain; I learned from this song that to believe that thyself is "beautiful" or "pretty" comes from within, to not dwell on one's flaws because perfection is not everything. Be happy with yourself, and to find beauty, a person has to first search within themselves, it is not always about outward appearance.

Hi, this is Sari. My favorite singer is Beyoncé! She is an outstanding performer and remains professional at all times. I love all of her songs, but at this moment, my favorite song is "6 inch". It's my favorite because the lyrics are uplifting and I like the beat. It's also catchy!!! https://g.co/kgs/vus1bC
ReplyDeleteMy favorite song is "Test of Faith" by Jennifer Hudson. She sung it in the movie Black Nativity to pretty much explain why she is sending her son to live with her parents. The song's message is so powerful! The main message of the song is that until you go through a situation that tests your faith in God you will not have a testimony, or you won't be able to fully appreciate all that God has done for you. Everytime I listen to this song I am reminded that things will get better, even though it may seem as if things are getting worse first.

My favorite song is " A Couple of Forevers" by Chrisette Michele. In she song she is speaking about her relationship. How strong his love is for her and her love for him. She believes she not asking for much just a couple of forevers. If the relationship ever ends it will start over again because that's how deep their love is for each other. So basically whatever happens they will always be together regardless. When you get older you will understand how she felt. I like this song because its speaks the truth about a dope relationship. This is a example of true love.

My favorite song is The Truth by India Arie. This isn't my favorite song because of the tune or the instruments. It's my favorite song because of how India Arie sings it and how it has so much relatability in the song. I listen to this song almost everyday. It's just really calming and her voice is just really comforting and smooth. I actually like a lot of her music. Her voice is really centering in thus particular song and that's why it's my favorite.

Recently one of my favorite songs has been "Shadows" by Sabrina Carpenter. This song itself is very nice and relatable. It gives a very positive message such as we all have things that we've done and may not be proud of but that doesn't make us any different than the next guy. This song is very upbeat and a typical go-to song nowadays for me! https://www.youtube.com/embed/6HIKvxRV3ls -Tyler Harris
ReplyDeleteOne of my most favorite female singers is Rihanna. I just love the way that she sings. one song that i like that she sings is Pon de Replay. It's a song with a reggae style which also uses a mixture of R&B and dance-pop. It's about Rihanna telling the DJ to play her favorite song over and over again.

My favorite song changes almost every minute. For now though, my favorite song is "For the Beauty of the Earth" by John Rutter. I sang this song with my 6th grade choir, and found it to be absolutely fantastic. It makes me feel happy. It is a very light and gentle song. I find this video in particular to be truly amazing. The childrens' voices blend very well together. Though they are all boys, they all did a magnificent job at hitting all those high notes!

I have two favorite songs and both of them are songs that I never would have imagined to ever listen to. One is by 21 Savage and I call his type of music "murder music" because he talks about a lot of killing. The other one is by Lil Uzi Vert and people call him a trap rapper. he is not my favorite rapper, but I do like this one song in particular from him. These two songs can make my mood change so quick, and make me ready to turn up at any moment. These are two fairly new songs two me
