This is a very touching concert ever, Adele live at Roayl Albert Hall. I cried for most of the songs, and that was so ridiculous. Album version may have some arrangements afterwards, which make all become so perfect; but her voice is so perfect. She is young, but her music is very experienced. And every breathe she took and the lyrics she sang is heartshaking, I felt the same pain of some of songs which she wrote it when she was down. “Someone Like You“, yes as always my top favorite, but I need to recommend you “I can’t make you love me“, “Set to Fire the Rain” and “Turning Table”.
I love country music. It is just too easy to remember, easy to sing along, easy to understand and always write peoples’ hearts like. Country Music is basically from the southern or southeasten part of the America, for example, like where Mr. George Bush comes from, Texas; Carrie Underwood the winner of American Idol comes from, Oklahoma, Kentucky where Brian Littrell @ Backstreet Boys comes from etc. The most obvious characteristic of Country Music is to play with guitars and the violin. Grammy winner Faith Hill “What’s in it for me” is a typical example. Please listen carefully to the beginning of the song – guitar and violin. Recently, Bon Jovi, original rock band for smash hit No. 1 single “It’s my life” and “Have a nice day” included some elements of country music to their album released in 2007 “Lost Highway”. The song “Lost Highway” contains the basic instruments as guitar and violin too.
Besides guitar and violin, banjo is the key. On Canadian Country Diva, Shania Twain “Up“, there are some sounds like bubbles. They are actually played by banjo. The rhythm of the banjo can be very quick, which is the music that the cowboys always dance with.
The shape of the banjo is like the Chinese instrument ruan.
Most of the singers of Country Music are Christian, and they all can really sing, because they usually sing in the chruch. For example, LeAnn Rimes, she is still record holder of the youngest winner of Grammy Awards at age 14. She starts singing when she was only 3. Carrie Underwood, she definitely raised in a Christian family, singing along with the brothers and sisters. Her talented was found and voted in the 4th season of the American Idol, and became a winner of 49th Grammy Awards too.
All females here, let me introduce a male country singer – Blake Shelton. He performs the very typical cowboy style, and this is where Country Music is from. He sings as telling a story of how he likes a woman. Country Music is very straight forward to the feeling of the song-writer, or the singer. And “love” appears in the lyrics very frequently.
High Pitch or Low Pitch?
