Victors 2007

Victors were last Saturday on POP TV. What do you think about the winners? Did they deserve it or not? Did PotrĨ earn his Victor or not? I'll see what you think. Now something to make you laugh...these movies are all from Victors.

An interview with...

Yesterday, we talked about the music industry. We mentioned the artists, the managers and the big record companies. We, more or less deliberately, left out another important part of this business: the media! TV, radio, print media, internet and their "serious" journalists, photographers and paparazzi, form the public opinion with their articles, interviews and photo stories. They bring the lives of the stars into our homes!

This time I want you to become journalists! Think of the questions you would like to ask a big music star or a popular band. Use your imagination! Think about the things you would really like to know!

Write at least two question. To avoid repetition read other questions before you post your own ones! Have fun!

The Oscars!

The Oscar Night is long over, the winners are happy and part of movie history, the nominees disappointed and soon forgotten. You can visit the official page of the Annual Academy Awards, or read about it at Wikipedia.

What I am interested in, is your opinion about the following Oscar speech delivered by Halle Barry some years ago. Is she for real or is she faking it? What would you say, how would you react if you won such an important award?

So, here is your task:
a) give your opinion on Barry's speech
b) tell us your words and reactions in a similar situation.

Minimum two sentences please!

I listen to...

The holidays are coming and you'll hopefully have even more time for our blog. Therefore, your next assignment will require some more work.
  1. First, I want you to read the text "A (very short) history of ROCK MUSIC" in your books (p.52).
  2. Then, I'm asking you to follow this link and do some more reading about the different music styles of our world. You don't have to read everything, just the parts that interest you or are important for what's coming next.
  3. Choose a singer or a band you like listening to, write a presentation, together with some links for your friends (youtube, wikipedia, the homepage of the singer/band...). Use whatever information you can find on the net but do not copy/paste!
  4. Read your friends' presentations and respond to them.
I'm really looking forward to your work!

Just to give you a taste, here is one of my favourite singers,




and (still) one of my favourite bands:
