MARINA: Music, Mental Illness, and Me
It's been a long time since I first heard Marina's music. Back then, she was known as Marina and the Diamonds and was currently in the midst of her Electra Heart era. I was 13 years old and in the midst of my own inner turmoil. "Teen Idle" found me at a time when I was at my most scared and alone- and I think it saved my life. I immediately listened to her entire discography. I was obsessed. As I struggled with mental illness, the razor-sharp lyricism of The Family Jewels and the upbeat nihilism of Electra Heart became my solace. But that was a long time ago.

The reason I love Gwen stefani so much is because she is the first woman I heard that ever sounded totally different and it was great, I grew up not listening to much rock. Country and pop was all I heard on the radio, and I loved to sing, but I didn't sound like any of those people, I can't sing like a pop diva like Whitney Houston and I can't sing like Reba and I was like my voice just doesn't fit in, and then no doubt came out with "don't speak" and I saw the video and thought, that girl is so cool and she has so many different levels and uniqueness to her voice, so I bought tragic kingdom and played it over and over and her lyrics were like mine, I'm like "there are like a thousand words in this song and it's okay, she has a lot to say in this one song and it's working," and it's like she was the first person on the radio that I personally could relate to, she didn't seem like some star in a distant land of fame and fortune, she said things in her songs that I personally went through and one day I was at a pacsun shopping and I was singing along to "my own worst enemy" by lit (playing on their tv) and my sister goes "you kind of sing like Gwen stefani" and I remember that moment to this day because it was awesome, for one that I wasn't singing her song and I wasn't trying to sound like her but I just had finally found a successful person that had the same style as me, and I learned to sing from her and i am just so glad she is like the way she is because it makes me feel like my weirdness is okay too and that regardless if you don't really sound the way people think you should, if you have a passion for something, keep doing it, because there is a reason you're doing it and you may not be a opera singer quality but who wants to listen to people that all sound the same, all the time? I've learned more of that afterward with other singers but Gwen was the first and best example of that and I'm so glad she was on mainstream and I got to hear it and learn from her.

Why Are Michael Jackson Fans So Fanatical?
They go by several names: Moonwalkers, the MJ Fam, soldiers of love. Due to their obsessive enamouring of the star, Michael Jackson fans have also been called cultists, psychos, sycophants, conspiracy theorists and bullies. They have been accused of being crazy, shallow and brainwashed. But this has never seemed to deter them. On the contrary, it seems to fuel their love for their idol even more. It makes them love him harder.

SynecdochePublished 3 years ago in BeatUnderrated and Miscategorized Women in Music
I started to notice things about Taylor not long ago, all males (well most) seem to dislike her, a lot of people actually, but why? Well, as with most people who are very independent and self reliant in the music industry, the media loves to put her in a "don't take her seriously, she's a silly girl" category. I won't go into all the problems with the media and music industry and how the general public isn't even aware that they are being controlled and told who to like and dislike at any given moment based on who does what the record labels tell them to. That is a whole different issue, but I want people to know about it.

I'm starting a series of articles based on females in the music industry that are underrated and/or mislabeled. There is a very popular phrase that says "don't judge a book by it's cover" and I truly think people still do this too often. Shakira was already popular in her home country when she came to america to expand her music career, it was near the era of Britney and Christina. People saw how beautiful she was and how well she could belly dance and thought of her as something like a "spanish britney or christina" (which is weird because Christina is actually spanish herself). Anyway, that was not the correct category to put Shakira into. Sure, she is beautiful and can dance, but she doesn't have much else in common with the other "pop princess" artists. For one, she writes almost all of her own songs, not only in spanish (her first language) but also in english, which to me is quite impressive. Another thing is that she plays several instruments very well: harmonica, guitar, drums, bongos. Her sound in her songs is not that "pop" if you ask me, they are more of a folk indie rock, plus her original look is more "rocker chick"
