Adele & Jessie J

I have been listening to Adele's songs since her first album 19, which she dropped when she was 19 years old. However if you hear just her voice, it seems as if she is way beyond her years. Her music has a more classical, older sound to it, that people of all ages can sit there and listen to, and truly enjoy. For instance, I was listening to her music on my laptop and my dad tells me to turn it up because he loves her voice.... we rarely enjoy the same tunes. Take a listen and let me know what you think, some of my favorites at the moment are someone like you, and rolling in the deep. I have taken the time to learn these songs on guitar, however I can never even hope to do her voice justice.

Jessie J and Adele graduated from the same preforming arts school in Europe... I don't know the name off hand. She has a completely different sound than Adele, but she also has a voice that can make your jaw drop, and goose bumps rise up on your arms.  Her songs are more about life situation, and how you can pull yourself up, it's very easy to relate to. Most of her songs aren't able to push through the generations such as Adele, however songs like Stand Up are able to. She doesn't have a distinct style, on her Album Who You Are, she travels through styles that are a complete contrast to each other. Give her album a listen and make sure to check out Nobody's Perfect. She also sets a fashion trend that is her own, personally I feel she is trying to take the same step to create more interest just at Rihanna and Lady Gaga have been doing.

Hello, Hello

Hello to the blogging world,

The concept of blogging is very new to me. Yes I have read blogs to find answers to many of my questions from, "Why is my computer doing this?", to, "Where can I find a guitar tab to play this song?". However, this is my very first time posting anything of the sort out into the great abyss, that is the internet. So, for my first post I would just like to say, "Hello to all of my fellow classmates, and thank you for actually taking the time to read this." I'll ignore the fact that you really don't have a choice because you, and I, are being graded on this.

I am seventeen years old, turning eighteen in two days, which of course I am excited for. Although, I'm still sure that I will wake up on the morning of February fifth, and feel no different than I do on any other Saturday morning. I'll still be in bed at about eleven thirty, and the only thing that will get me out, is the thought of a nice fresh plate of bacon and eggs. I'm sure that I am not alone in this, so here is an opportunity for you to write a comment. Tell me about your Saturday mornings, am I right or wrong?

One of my favorite pass times is to play guitar. Whether its with friends or alone, being accompanied by vocals or not, I enjoy it all the same. I find it very relaxing at times, and challenging as well.  I simply play guitar for the sole reason that I enjoy it. Not for any competition, not for praise, just because I enjoy it.

You may be curious as to why I titled my blog, Sheena's Blurb. A blurb is defined as  "a short summary or some words of praise accompanying a creative work", and that is what I wish to do. Unless we are given a specific assignment I'd like to blog, or write a blurb, about someones creative work. Whether it is a book, music, movie, or anything else of the sort, here is were I'd like to talk about it. I would love to  give the creative work, and the people behind it, the praise that it, and they, deserve.

Talk to you later,

Sheena =)
