I liked both of the songs you picked for the topic. I like in particular the reasoning for picking the song “I Don’t Dance” because I don’t think I would have thought about it that way and it is interesting.

I like and agree with what you said about Fergie’s performance. It was because of how badly she performed the song rather than the political climate at the time.

2. […]

I like that you mentioned the similarity in the instruments used to compose the performances. I also like how you mentioned the composer

My answer to the last question was cut:
They are both calm and quiet and performed in concert halls. One difference between the two is the amount of performers in each.

How the audience behaving ? What are they doing?

What about the performers?
Khalid is […]
