How are these bands created?:
1- First, the producer decides on a look and sound for the band.
2- Then, an advert is placed in teen magazines, or talent is discovered in trendy clubs or discos.
3-Next, auditions are held and the band members are chosen.
4- They are taught to sing and dance, hoe to deal with the media...
5- Songs are recorded and released on the readio. Concerts are organised and with luck the band becomes famous.
Britain is more famous for pop music than it is for
classical composers or jazz musicians. Names such as The Beatles, the Rolling Stones, Led
Zeppelin, Pink Floyd, Elton John, George Michael and The Spice Girls are known
world wide but little do people know of our other musicians not in the pop
world.
Music we listen to
today
In Britain, most youths listen to punk,
garage, house, rock, pop and R&B. (such as McFly, JLo, Xtina, Beyonce,
Pink, Britney, Justin Timberlake, Mis-teeq).
