Although these two pop artist have many similarities, they also have differences such as their musical talents, extracurricular activities, and their celebrity relationships.
Musical artists have many different musical talents that separate them from other artists. For example, Taylor Swift have written all of her songs without the help of others. Her writing talent has gotten her further than most artists in the music industry. Although Taylor writes her own songs, she does not play very many instruments. The only instruments Taylor plays is acoustic guitar and the piano. Taylor Swift is not only a pop artist, but she is also a country artist.

Taylor Swift. Like Taylor Swift, Avril Lavigne is also a song writer, however, most of her albums do not consist of songs written by herself. Rather they are written by an outside writer and then Avril reivises the piece to fit her style.

When I think of the word artist, I think of someone who is innovative, original and someone who has style and a sound all their own. One artist that comes to mind is Janet Jackson; they simple don’t make artist like Janet anymore. Unfortunately, she was the last of her kind. You can see her influence in most of today’s artist. I grew up on Janet’s music and I simply love each era of her work. To me Janet is more than a singer, she is a true artist. She not only writes most if not all of her music, but ...
What is music? Music is a very broad word that can mean and reflect several and different points of view. I don’t know about you, but to my understanding music is freedom of speech in the expression of feelings and emotions. Depending on the type of music base on genre, everyone tends to listen towards what their heart desires. Within the different types of genre, there are artists and bands that explore these genres and paint their points of view on how to express it. Artists such as the Weekend and Romeo Santos are two of my favorite artists that I love to listen on a daily basis, but what makes these artists so special? Romeo Santos and the Weekend may have differences in language, but they have several similarities that stands out to me
Ella Fitzgerald and Billie Holiday were both prominent jazz singer-songwriters during the same time and masters in their own right, but their worlds could not have been further apart. In 1939, while they were both in the midst of experiencing mainstream success, Ella was touring with Ella and her Famous Orchestra and showcasing her perfect pitch and tone to the world while singing songs that would soon become standards to fellow singers and musicians. Billie was singing solo, comfortable with her limited range, and gaining the adoration of audiences nationwide who loved her soulful voice. Both of these historic singers made contributions to the art of jazz, with vocalists and instrumentalists still using elements of their style today. Ella

They are both similar because they both fall in love, come from a social class that might prevent them from marrying, family members are protective of their love life, and have boyfriends that might end up leaving them.

Today it is hard to imagine a female celebrity without seeing mental images of someone stumbling out of clubs, under the influence of drugs and alcohol, or exposing their skin. What has happened to the role models that were once defined by people like Audrey Hepburn, Mother Teresa and Eleanor Roosevelt. In between the chaotic mess of people like Miley Cyrus, Lindsay Lohan, and the Kardashians is an under-rated role model, Taylor Swift. Just at the age of twenty four, she holds the prestige of winning seven Grammy's becoming one of the greatest musical sensations. Aside from her music, her keen attitude is receiving accolade from many people. Taylor Swift is the best role model for girls of because of her clean public image.

Basic terms are often confused when describing an individuals musical sense. Microsoft Encarta World English Dictionary defines an artist as somebody who does something with great skill and creativity, and a musician is a music maker who plays, performs, conducts, or composes music, either as a hobby or a profession. The focus of this essay is not the plausible crime of a solely techno creator, or in contrast, the soaring melodies of a humans voice. Technology has tarnished the value of pure talent of music's original creation for the sake of popularity, riches and unnatural perfection.
“I’m intimidated by the fear of being average,”(Wang) Taylor Swift said on October 24 to the press. This quote shows how driven she lives her life. Born on December 13, she grew up on a Christmas tree farm in Wyomissing, Pennsylvania . Her career began there at age five, when she first started to write songs.(Grimm) At thirteen, she decided to sign with RCA Records. Swift does not last long in that contract because she did not like the thought of other people singing her songs.(Wang) Then later she moved to Nashville, Tennessee, at age 14 to fulfill her singing career. Big Machine Records is the next recording company on her list to try. She must have liked it because she is still with them today. I believe that if anyone is going to be put into the Country Hall of Fame, it should be Taylor Swift. Not only because of her many achievements and her impact to society, but her generous donations and charitable contributions are what is going to get her inducted into the Hall of Fame as well.
The art of music can be described as a medium that can both physically and emotionally move people. All artists strive to be creative and stand out from the crowd; but when the majority of pop music is composed of four chords, where is the originality? G-E(minor)-C-D and A(minor)-C-D-F are the most common chord progressions and the only factors that change between the thousands of songs that use these progressions are the strumming pattern and the lyrics. However, the skills of the lyricist and composer who successfully produced these songs take a backseat to the singer. The audience robs them of their much due credit with their applause and idolizing. Although plenty of singers strive to be original, all artists “plagiarize” and reinvent the wheel; so, how are they able to achieve originality?
She has numerous achievements and awards, Swift has shown an outstanding impact throughout the world, and has multiple contributions to the country music industry. These been shown through all of the work Taylor Swift does. She deserves this award not only because of the top hits she writes and performs, but also because of the person she is off stage too.

Ever since I was in eighth grade, I have been obsessed with Taylor Swift. She has been my role model since I was thirteen. When you look at most singers today, they have to be singing about drugs or alcohol, using vulgar language, or performing half-dressed. You never see Taylor Swift doing anything that she would be ashamed of later in life. On the other hand, she has had many relationships that have lasted short time periods. At least, she is not getting married for 72 days or even 24 hours such Kim Kardashian or Britney Spears. This is why I chose to write a research paper on her.
Whether the views about Taylor Swift are positive or negative, she still has been extremely successful. Not only has she made lots of money because of her hit singles, platinum records and sold out concert tours, but she has also found a unique way to connect with her fans. Taylor Swift is both praised and ridiculed because of her music and the way she perceives certain situations, but the way I see it, there are going to be positive and negative aspects of every form of media. What sets Taylor Swift apart from the rest though, it how handles herself with grace, hard work and determination and I think that is something that everyone should respect and admire.
