My Investigation (Evolution of Singer/Band)

(late post)

For the investigation topic me and Nadia chose to discuss, we chose Evolution of a Singer or Band. We've chosen three solo artists: Beyonce, Paul McCartney, and Michael Jackson. We have done research and put them into a powerpoint presentation but because we can't put that in here, we have summarised the main points.

Beyonce has not only been famous for a long time, but her class of music evolved over time. Most of her album genres are Pop, R&B and Soul. She can sing up to 3.6 octaves and won 20 Grammy Awards. 

Why? She doesn't only focus on one specific genre, but she also goes with pop like some songs from I' am... Sasha Fierce, 'That's Why You're Beautiful' . It's not a complicated song and we don't have to transpose most of the chords because most of them are just 4 chords.

Paul McCartney has been around for more than half a century. Considered as the most influential musicians of all time, he's known as a former bass guitarist from The Beatles in the 60s. He became a solo artist after The Beatles ended in the 1970s, and released his  first album (McCartney 1970). His music changes to Classical Rock. 

Why?  One thing only Paul McCartney has, is his how his songs are synchronized into a melodic sound with a mix of classical and pop. I think the piano makes his songs smooth into classical.

Michael Jackson also known as 'The King of Pop' might be the world's most influential pop singer. He won 8 Grammy awards for his album Thriller (1982), mostly famous for his Pop, dance pop and R&B genres. His genre used to be soul in Jackson 5, and later became a solo artist when he grew up.
Why? I think if we focus more on him, we'd have higher chances of performing a pop songs because it defines him and his albums. Maybe we could start of in the Off the Wall, Bad, Dangerous and Xscape albums, because overtime, the distance between these albums are quite distant.
