Superstars (from 70s to nowadays)

Look at the sky. You can see the stars… There’re millions of them but only a few are important. With people, it’s the same. Only lucky people with talent can shine. If you want to be a singer, you must sing beautifully but you must have other skills, too. Do you know what I mean? In my entry, I’m going to speak about four talented people which are very known and they became superstars in each decade from 1970 to 2011 (I have selected the singers with more sold CDs and I think they're the best, too)

Lady Gaga, the best singer of the last decade

During the last years, her songs are everywhere. She’s extravagant, original perfectionist and her voice is amazing. In 2009, her first single “Just Dance” reached the top of Music Lists around the world. During that year her songs “Lovegame”, “Poker Face” and “Paparazzi” were very popular, too.

2010 was Lady Gaga’s year. Her video clip “Bad Romance” became the most viewed video in YouTube and she earned a lot of awards in VMA, EMA… From the middle of 2010 to 2011, she made songs like “Alejandro” and in May, her CD “Born this Way” became one of the most successful albums in History with singles like “Judas” and “Yoü and I”. It’s impossible to know where will be Gaga next year and if you will like her songs because her actions are unpredictable.

Britney Spears, the best singer of the nineties

She sings well, she dances well… The perfect artist! She started her career in Mickey Mouse House Club and after that, she became a superstar. At the end of the 20^th century, she made songs like “Toxic” and “Baby one more Time” and became the Princess of Pop. After her boom, she failed because of the drugs. It was a dark period in her life but she could become a Pop Star (one more time) with singles like “Womanizer” and “Circus”. Now, she has made a new CD and is one of the best artists of the moment.

Freddy Mercury, the best singer of the eighties

A God in the Earth, one of the best musicians… Freddy Mercury started his career in Queen and he and his voice became famous around the world. Love songs reached a new level and he sang so beautifully… His songs were amazing: “Bohemian Rhapsody”, “Somebody to love”, “We will rock you”… etc
He died because of the AIDS and the world won’t have anybody like him, a voice like his…

John Lennon, the best singer of the seventies

He only wanted the peace on the Earth, a world without armies and his dream didn’t come true. He started in The Beatles and he with his three friends became the group with more sold CDs around the world with songs like “I want to hold your hand” and “Strawberry fields forever”. Alone, he made the song “Imagine” and the magazine Rolling Stones put it like the 3^rd best song ever written. 

He was assassinated 30 years ago in New York, USA.

So, you must speak about a singer that you love, a Superstar and we will meet him/her. Try to be original and don’t repeat the singers. If you want, you can put just the name and a song. I hope you like my entry!  -.Antonio Peña 


Ah, all of the songs are links of YouTube so if you want to listen a song just clik! I didn't put videos because four videos will make the entry too big.
