Music is an Art Form That Uses As Medium in Time and Space

        Who can imagine a world without music? Just as we –the humans- appeared, music emerged as one of our important needs too. It is obvious that music has filled our lives very effectively in that now it is impossible to eradicate it out of our lives. Who can claim the opposite? When we are born, the first thing we hear is the lullabies of our mothers. Then, as time passes, we continue to listen to music much more. Of course, we don't listen to lullabies any more, but we choose a particular type of music that influences us. Why we listen to music and like the type of the music we like is not a simple phenomenon, on the contrary, the reasons are much more complex."




        Music is an art form that uses sound as medium in time and space. The basic elements of music, rhythm, dynamics and sound properties are color and intensity. Music through history had tried to define a number of theorists, philosophers, composers and musicians themselves. The very word music derives from the Greek word mousike, which is derived from the word mouse, and people around the world know that as a Latin form of the word music. Music and sound can make human voice or instrument which can cause emotional experience. Music reaches far into the past and during this time they develop different styles and genres of music, which is still listening.

     All styles and genres of music, one thing is common, and that is to make people happy. Today, music has increasingly spreading and people can’t live without music. You can find out what music actually is, its history and its styles and genres.

The best-known types of music are: 

· Blues Music 
· Classical Music 
· Country Music 
· Electronic Music 
· Jazz Music 
· Latin Music 
· Metal Music 
· Pop Music 
· Punk Music 
· Rap Music 
· Reggae Music 
· R&B Music 
· Rock Music

      Music is a great way to relax and be happy in daily life. It is also very useful for musicians and composers to express their feelings. This is one of the reasons which make music universal; it has nothing to do with age, race or religion. Anyone who wants to listen to music, listens to music and anyone who wants to do music does music." (Aysegul Dogan, Adv 2003)

       "As you can see, music makes our lives better. It increases the things we share both with ourselves and with others. It helps our loneliness to get smaller and smaller because sharing is the only way to get rid of our loneliness. That is why music is so important in our lives.

THAT'S ALL FROM US ... THANK YOU ==)

Media Influence on K-POP ... What can you conclude ?

That’s why they do so. K-pop stars deserve us to love and value them.They are very talented, charismatic and they almost do not have any weakness! They are strong (practice break dance), well-prepared for their future(always rehearse their show at night to make sure to have the perfectest show) and humorous(joking and making fun every second). Why the K-pop stars are so popular nowadays? Surely, they were all being well-prepared during their childhood. When we are confused about choosing societies, they are already trained for being a star in the future. Sing course, dancing lessons and all the things are full of their childhood. Plus, we can see that mostly the more popular Korean artists, the earlier they were being trained.

You may not be able to imagine it but that is what they faced.Usually, K-pop songs are with easy dance steps so that the fans can remember them easily. K-pop can spread to the whole world easily too. Their catch melody and nice dance moves are the reasons to success.The antagonistic rivalries between different idol teams are very ‘normal’ to happen in Korea in fact. Koreans are addicted to chase after pop stars so they will care about how the artists behave and they will express their anger and strong feelings to the artists. For example is my about my friend. She is K-pop fan. As a fanatic, she is able to speak,sing,write and others in Koreans Language.Her diaries also is written in  Korean. So, it is not a mistake if u guys are fanatic on K-pop. At least we can learn  and know the other language besides ours.

    

Do you understand what is mean by media ? Media is an activity that can attrack people to get involve , especially teenager. The worse influence that had attack teenagers nowdays is Korean Wave or can be shorten as K-pop. Why K-pop got the first ranking among teenagers ? Well, I think most of the teens love the pop songs with airiness tempo and strong transcription and K-pop is just what all of us want. You can always see some teens are willing to wait at the airport to chase after their favorite K-pop stars. 

Michelle Rodriguez pays touching tribute to Paul Walker

Michelle Rodriguez

Hollywood actress Michelle Rodriguez has paid tribute to her late co-star and close friend Paul Walker with a touching message shared on her Instagram account.

Michelle, who had just returned from Italy, posted a photo of her and Vin Diesel in a car alongside a message saying she hopes they've made him proud.

The cast and crew had just wrapped the final scenes for the upcoming movie.

"Ride or Die through thick and thin 15 yrs later surreal to think we made it through such a tough painful production.
"But this ones for you P I hope we make you proudlove you," she wrote.

While next to a shot of the full crew, the 35-year-old shared: "Final day on FF7 an emotional roller coaster but we've wrapped most of principle photography one love to all those who stuck it through with respect."

And: "More set love respect to all those extras with smiles on their faces and love in their hearts for a 14 yr legacy One Love."

The film's cast and crew also posted a heartfelt open letter on Facebook, which began: "There was a time when we didn't know how we could go on, or even if we would.

"But we listened to you, and you inspired us not only to keep going but to try and make the best Fast & Furious movie yet."

Walker was killed in a car crash in November last year after the Porsche he was travelling in hit a tree and burst into flames.

The full Facebook post read:

"We made it.

Today we completed the last shot in the production of Fast & Furious 7.

"We wanted to take this moment to express how thankful we are for your support. We felt the love and strength from our fans throughout this journey, and it's because of you that we got here.

"There was a time when we didn't know how we could go on, or even if we should. But we listened to you, and you inspired us not only to keep going but to try and make the best Fast & Furious movie yet.

"Our family has been together for almost fifteen years now and has grown a lot in that time. From the start, Vin has been our leader who feels what's right for Fast in his gut and in his heart. When we had to stop production last year, Vin gathered us back together and moved us forward when we needed it most. He led us to this day.

"Some of us have been here from the very beginning. Vin, Michelle, Jordana and our producer Neal all go back to that first little movie we shot on the streets of LA. We came back to LA in Fast 7, and it was an especially emotional homecoming for those who've grown up with each other since that first shoot.

"There are those we count as brothers who we gathered along the way and are with us again: Dwayne, Tyrese, Luda, Lucas and our writer, Chris. We've got some new additions this time in Jason, Kurt, Djimon, Nathalie and our director, James. Caleb and Cody joined us to honour their brother and help complete his work.

"Our family is big and strong but it won't ever quite be whole again without Paul. All of us - those who've been here from the start and those whose first Fast film is 7 - wanted to create a special film for him and for you. We believe we have.

"Thank you for being there for us. You are the biggest part of our family, and we couldn't have gotten here without you.

"The countdown to April 3 begins.

"With love, your Fast & Furious Family."
