Music review of "if i were a boy"

The title of the song is If I were a boy song by Beyonce. This song is singing about the girl behave like a guy.This is a pop song written by B.C. Jean, Toby Gad. In this song, her vocal performance is breathtaking which mean is exquisitely emotive mournful and mature. Lyrically, the stunning ballad is a tome of torment, as she offers, 'If I were a boy,' I think I could understand how it feels to love a girl/I swear I'd be a better man. And then, The song references stereotypical "guy" behavior, and there are some references to cheating and infidelity (and one reference to beer), but overall the lyrics are age-appropriate for kids.

My personal opinions of Lily Allen' The Fear

This song is not so bad. Genuinely, I don't like the types of this song and don't like the character of the girl.

Online review of Lily Allen' "The Fear"

The Fear is one of the best songs going around. Lily Allen has enjoyed criticising modern life through her songs, all in a synth-pop style. The combination of a bubbly pop tune with biting lyrics always makes for engaging listening. The Fear is in this vein with her attention set toward the celerity world itself. It’s a timely reminder (especially during Oscar season) that those who we celebrate are often superficial and that which makes for a “fantastic” life, when analysed, is empty and misguided. However, what I can’t work out is where does Lily fit into all this? It’s all very well to sing a critique of celebrity, yet she is no doubt enjoying the benefits from it. So, is she deluding herself to think that it doesn’t apply to her, or is she genuinely living a life that is above and beyond the shallowness of celebrity. I’m sure the gossip mags will keep a close eye on it.

What I've learnt in the past few weeks of English

During the past few weeks, I've learnt about the types of music, how to write the music reviews, trying to write the modern composition, revising about the nouns, what are the propositions, and verbs.

1st song

I would like to talk about my favourite song that is "Until You" song by Shayne Ward. The title of the CD is "Breathless". This is a ballad. I like this song so much. And then, I like his voice on this song because he doesn't overuse the higher the range of his vocal. This is the type of music I like to listen when I'm trying to sleep.
