Pitbull

Hi I`m Maex from Postbauer-Heng that’s in Bavaria (Germany) and I want to tell you something about my favourite rapper.

He is called Pitbull.

At first I want to tell you about his life.

Pitbull was born in Miami, Florida on 15. January 1981.

His real name is Armando Christian Pérez and he`s a Cuban -American rapper and he sings often in English but he also sings Spanish.With his song „culo“ he became famous.He brought out five Albums:2004: M.I.A.M.I. (Money Is a Major Issue) 2005: Welcome to the 305 2005: M.I. Still A.M.I (Money Is Still a Major Issue) 2006: El Mariel 2007: The Boatlift My favourite song from him is Te Querio.

Hey!
My name is Fabian, I’m 16 years old and I attend the 10th class of the secondary modern school in Neumarkt, Germany. I wrote this article already during the Easter Holidays in Bavaria and because of that I was able to relax, to meet friends and to listen to music … the whole day.
In the following sentences I’m going to introduce my favourite singer and songwriter to you. His name is Paolo Nutini, born in Paisley on the 9th January of 1987. The 23-year old lives in Scotland with his family. The boy with Italian origin (because of his father), wanted to become a popular musician all over the world, since he was a child.



The style of music … you can describe it as Indie Rock but there’re still influences of other artists, like Oasis, the Beatles and David Bowie, for example.
The first album he produces with Atlantic Records is named “These Streets” with ten top songs. The songs, I like the most are “Jenny don’t be hasty” and “Rewind”. They are all about love and the everyday live.
The last two years he has worked on a new album called “Sunny Side Up”, which will be released in June.
I play the guitar strings too, so I hope, that there’re many summer and sun hits on the CD to play them at the beach and the sea in summer time.
But not every country knows him as a big artist. So he isn’t very famous in countries such as Spain and even Germany. That’s a pity, I think!
Ad because of his less success he hasn’t got a lot of concerts in Germany the next time L I hope that it will be changed soon.

But in my eyes, he’s one of the greatest singers and songwriters all over the world and I will never stop listening to his marvellous music.

I hope you like my short report about Paolo and I’m looking forward to reading reports about you and your favourite bands or singers.

Nightwish

Hello my name is Christoph Altmann. I am 15 years old and I would like to tell you something about my favourite band called Nightwish.
At first something about the band members:
The keyboarder Tuomas Holopainen, the front man.
The new singer Anette Olzon (2007) before Tarja Turunen
The guitarist Erno "Emppu" Vuorinen
The bassist Marco Hietala

Now something about the history of this band and the success:

The band a Finnish Symphonic Metal band from Kitee.
The keyboarder Tuomas Holopainen, Tarja Turunen and Vuorinen have created this band in 1996. The international breakthrough came in 1999 because their album Oceanborn was a big success. Between 2001 and 2005 the band had no commercial success although her singer Tarja Turunen had a beautiful voice.The commercial success came in 2007 with their new singer Anette Olzon. The band released the Dark Passion Play album with her. In my opinion it is the best record of Nightwish.


The band brought out 7 albums:
Angels Fall First (1997)
Oceanborn (1998)
Wishmaster (2000)
Over The Hills an Far Away (2001)
Century Child (2002)
Once (2004)
Dark Passion Play (2007)

I think Nightwish is one of the best bands ever, because they have really good live performances with many special effects and they make great song.

Big Daddy My favourite film is called „Big Daddy“. In this film are popular actors for example “Adam Sandler”. It is a very funny movie. The movie is about Sunny who is played by Adam Sandler. One day a little boy called Julian stands in front of Sunny’s house with a letter in his hands. The letter says that Julian is the child of his roommate but his roommate is on a business trip.Sunny wants to put Julian in a house for homeless kids but on this day there was a holiday and Julian and Sunny spend the day together. On this day Sunny notices that he likes the little boy and he says to other people that he is the father of Julian but this is not the truth. Sunny makes no boarders for Julian. Because of this Julian gets in a vulgar manner. Later on he wants to visit the school but if he really wants this he has to change his bad language into good language.
