Draft Article #3


Viva has anticipated her début for some time now. "My patience was beginning to wear thin." Viva tells BEAT in an exclusive interview. "I wanted to enter the music industry for a while now. But I'd never been given right opportunity. That, was until I met my current agency, a talent scout came up to me after a gig and asked us to join. My performance moved him to tears." grinned Viva.

Despite only being released recently, Viva's newest hit début single: “I only want you!”, has created a huge stir. The emotional music lyrics stabs at your heart and anyone who listens seems to relate in some way!The beautiful video also proves that Viva is not just a multi-talented singer-songwriter, she can act too. The video follows the story of a girl's lost love who died in a car crash as she try to cope with heart-ache and "those little insignificant things that remind me of you."( as their hit single goes). I guarantee you'll be crying by the end of the video!

Yet the charismatic girl is increadibly bashful! “ I get embarrassed whenever anyone compliments me or praises me. I'm just doing what I love!”

The Spice Girls have been a major influence on me. Especially their song “Viva forever” Whenever I was going through a rough patch I'd switch it on. hem. Still do! I think they're performance at the Olympics was sensational!" said Viva. “ "Viva Forever” helped me through many hard times in my life. The lyrics are simply inspirational to me. You see, Viva means LIVE in Spanish and the name has such a deep meaning to it, there was no doubt in my mind!" After asking her, if then, she'd ever want to collaborate with the epic girl band she answered as any die-hard-Spice-Girls-fan would. "Of course! I'd jump at the chance." Well, in that case we might as well keep our eyes open for a Spice Girls and Viva Collab.

Ever since her début her popularity has risen tremendously. Shes set to appear on lots of Television programmes and music channels this week, and possibly even presenting her own chart on hit music channel, MTV! We're looking forward to her explosive future with our wide open eyes in anticipation.

I have changed my article slightly to suit the needs of my target audience. For example I have cut down the amount of text within the article, this will make the text more appealing for the audience and interesting.

Whats K-POP?


With recent breakthrough of south korean pop singer and entertainer PSY, were all left wondering what is kpop?!

K Pop is basically korean pop music - the k standing for korea - but with the international hit single "Gangnam Style's" video containing some radomly, crazy and wonderfully weird things and a goofy dance routine most of us in the UK are left wondering how is K-Pop any different from our pop culture. This sudden interest in Korean culture is not a new thing either, the dramatic increase in many counties over the seas becoming more and more intrested in korean pop culture since the 1990's is called the korean wave. Funky name, I know.

K-pop is made up of lots of different genres of music, many of which you should recognize: Dance, Hip Hop, Rock and R&B. But also a few you might not: Electronic and Electropop. The artists are usually very young (In their teens and early twenties.) and are considered to be attractive. Which would explain the huge number of fan girls that line the streets in hope of catching a glimpse of their idol. Though the fame is not all it seems. The crazy fanbases of the artists are usually huge and can seen in the thousands on their fancafes - a online site where fans get togheter and support the artists they like. They're made by fans for fans. However, the fame may seem good and all but when you have to deal with pyshcotic fans that put GPS tracking devices onto the vichals you drive in to track your every move like one JYJ member told reporters things can get a little out of hand. These girls are seriously becoming stalkers, though this sort of behavour is not all that different I'm sure than heart throbs 1D and Justin.

The music videos are often bright and colourful, with interesting dance routines that cause a huge number of cobver groups andvideos all around the world. In the cyber web known as Youtube. Unfortunatly many critics have critized the music companies that take on the acts, claming that they only care for looks and not music. I'm sure the fan base will , violently, disagree.

However, dispite all this about the korean wave the world is still left baffeled by PSY recent sucsess and his video has now offically became the most viewed video on Youtube. That is one huge step for teh silent korean wave.
