QUEEN SONGS

HERE ARE QUEEN MY FAVOURITE ARTIST OF ALL TIMES SONGS AND VIDEOS IN THE ORDER I LIKE THEM

1 Bohemian Rapsity the greatest song ever written. But only one effect that they seem to use again and again of a screen pulling the singers out

2 Crazy little thing called love brilliant song brilliant video using leather jackets and on a motorcycle a top image and the song you will never get out of you head

 3 I want to break free some of the great images in a video of all time with Freedie dressing like a woman and snakes moving over him

4 It’s a kind of magic a brilliant type of video for this one showing how we will use magic for television in the future

5 Killer Queen I think that the video from this song gives you a lot of useful information about queen and is simplistic in the way it is made maybe this is where Take that got the idea from their video from I really like it

6 One vision Brilliantly simplistic showing them waiting and working in the studio at that time something you would hardly ever see

7 Radio gaga One of the best visual effects before the start of the song with so much happening so you begin to expect but when nothing happens and they are on a car you are disappointed but a song that will never be forgotten

8 The show must go on from the video this feels like there last ever song which I find to be very sad but the way that things are joined together I think works well this I think is a good song

9 Flash theme Quality song and background video that is seen in the background there are some quality background effects

10 You’re my best friend This is a song that I feel will live forever but there was no video story to it whatsoever which I feel made it quite sad and I wonder why it had not been released as a single 

11 Another one bites the dust Quality song but no video

12 Fat Bottomed girls an ok video of queen in concert with a song  as an ok video

13 Don’t stop me now one of the great songs but an ok video as they are in concert

14 We are the champions One of the great songs of all time but the fact that they did not make a video for it I find increasable considering how simple it could be

15 Somebody to love All in a studio so not the best video but a great song

16 Under Pressure This to be is a very sad image on top of a very happy song and I am not sure whether that is the right way to do things

1 Bicycle there are too many mentions of the word bicycle about the more confusing thing was in the 70s and 80s how were they able to get away with so many naked women riding a bike. How were there not loads of people in protest and the second question is why naked women riding on. Little confused also to the point of the song

Micheal Jackson my favourites

It’s my birthday today so I decided to pick an artist that has defined my life here is one of my favourite legends Michael Jackson. Here are my top 14 singles from him

1 Thriller Greatest video ever

2 Billie Jean one of the best videos ever with a great song

3 Black or white one of the greatest images in a second ever when the kid rocks the father to Michaels music place in Africa

4 Don’t stop till you get enough quality song and video

5 the way you make me feel a good song with a quality idea for a video in a derelict street  

6 Earth Song Great video and quality song

7 Man in the mirror One of the images that should haunt us as a species

8  Bad Brilliant song

9 Dirty Dianna quality song but critics is he goes a little over the top

10  Leave me alone  Not the best of songs but a very strange video

11 Remember the time One of the great opening sequences but an Ok song

12 Scream Bad video but great song most expensive video ever why  

13 Rockin Robbin ok song with simple video

14 love never felt so good fine  dance video

Beyonce songs favourites and how I think they should be looked at

These in my opinion are the songs that Beyonce is most recognised for I am planning to do a short analysis of the songs I recognise her for

1 Crazy in Love = one of the simplest ideas videos of all time and one of the great songs

2 Beautiful Liar = brilliant song and top video a little sexy and working with another artist helps brilliant movements of back ground which makes you know it’s a green screen

3 Irreplaceable= top message and top video as she is making him leave HER house which is so important as the house they live in is hers and not his which shows she has power and not him 

4 Halo = a great song and a very good family video

5 If I were a boy= this is a great song and asks a great question the video is cute

6 Listen = a brilliant song and an ok video

7 Single Ladies = quality video not completely sure about the message of the song

8  Run the world = great song but quite confusing video there is no sense of female empowerment in the video and how important that will be in the future 

9 Drunk in  love= confused by the video  which does not help the song for me at all as I do not understand its meaning but I do like the music behind it

10  Wishing on a star = brilliant song one of the best but I could not find the video 

11 Naughty Girl = sexy but maybe a bit too sexy with what the song is supposed to represent not the right image to give to small children

12 Work it out = quality song but not too sure about the video as you should bring exercise into it a lot more

13 Sweet Dreams = not exactly sure what the video is trying to say and a lot more could be done with the video rather than just dancing

Britney Spears top 10

Here is my top 10 list of Britney Spears songs. Because I think that in this day and age she has had the best video and the best song ever. These are top 8 I feel she will be remembered for and the other 2 not so much

1 Hit me Baby 1 more time= greatest video of a current t recording artist

2  You drive me crazy = great song great video

3 Stronger= positive message

4  Oops I did it again = best before song starts video

5  I’m A slave for you = sticks in your head

6  Womaniser= Great song but video does not make sense

7  Piece of me = great song -shows what the press have become to the famous

8 Toxic = great song not sure about the video

9 Lucky

10 If you see Amy

I would say to put Hit me baby 1 more time in and stronger into your music collection but she has had some of the songs that few people will forget
