He is currently one of the few African American country artists, however he began as the lead singer of a pop group: Hootie and the Blowfish. stefrulz https://padlet.com/stefrulz/2cv5t2hi1xbk/wish/152349371 2017-02-08 02:10:44 UTC https://padlet.com/stefrulz/2cv5t2hi1xbk/wish/152349371 TAYLOR SWIFT stefrulz https://padlet.com/stefrulz/2cv5t2hi1xbk/wish/152350251 2017-02-08 02:18:43 UTC https://padlet.com/stefrulz/2cv5t2hi1xbk/wish/152350251 Taylor Swift is a great example of a crossover artist. She got her start at age 14 singing at The Bluebird Cafe in Nashville Tennessee. She has gone on to cross over to the pop genre, although many of her country songs sounded "pop" to begin with, such as this hit: stefrulz https://padlet.com/stefrulz/2cv5t2hi1xbk/wish/152350308 2017-02-08 02:19:27 UTC https://padlet.com/stefrulz/2cv5t2hi1xbk/wish/152350308 NELLY stefrulz https://padlet.com/stefrulz/2cv5t2hi1xbk/wish/152350990 2017-02-08 02:28:23 UTC https://padlet.com/stefrulz/2cv5t2hi1xbk/wish/152350990 Nelly is a rap artist who broke onto the scene with songs such as "Air Force Ones" and "Country Grammar." Many of his songs are strip club staples and glorify partying. However, he made a giant crossover (even more of a stretch than Taylor Swift or Darius Rucker) by recording a country song with current superstar Tim McGraw stefrulz https://padlet.com/stefrulz/2cv5t2hi1xbk/wish/152351097 2017-02-08 02:29:50 UTC https://padlet.com/stefrulz/2cv5t2hi1xbk/wish/152351097 These three performers prove that they can easily solidify their careers in a typical fashion in their respective genres using the expected stereotypes of their cultural backgrounds. While they have a fan base of their cultural peers, these three artists prove that they can relate to others by changing their style or teaming up with a artist outside their genre, thus showing their true range as well as creating a new fan base. stefrulz https://padlet.com/stefrulz/2cv5t2hi1xbk/wish/152351658 2017-02-08 02:37:34 UTC https://padlet.com/stefrulz/2cv5t2hi1xbk/wish/152351658 MOVIES stefrulz https://padlet.com/stefrulz/2cv5t2hi1xbk/wish/152352915 I chose The Birdcage and The Blind Side as my movies]]> 2017-02-08 02:52:05 UTC https://padlet.com/stefrulz/2cv5t2hi1xbk/wish/152352915 THE BIRDCAGE stefrulz https://padlet.com/stefrulz/2cv5t2hi1xbk/wish/152353080 This is a LGBT movie based on the musical La Cage aux Folles. This movies illustrates what happens when a typical ultra-conservative family meets a liberal gay family and the issues they both face trying to hide the truth from each other and the issues they face when they find out the truth]]> 2017-02-08 02:54:16 UTC https://padlet.com/stefrulz/2cv5t2hi1xbk/wish/152353080 THE BLIND SIDE stefrulz https://padlet.com/stefrulz/2cv5t2hi1xbk/wish/152353689 This movie is based on the real life story of Carolina Panther offensive tackle Michael Oher. He was nearly homeless and a ward of the state when he was adopted by a wealthy white family. Both sides have to struggle with racial and class issues throughout this movie. ]]> 2017-02-08 03:00:47 UTC https://padlet.com/stefrulz/2cv5t2hi1xbk/wish/152353689 Both of these movies prove that, although people may come from different backgrounds, once they actually learn a bit about the other, people are really just not that different. Note that Tim McGraw is a star in the Blind Side, as he was mentioned earlier as helping Nelly cross over to a different audience. Both of these movies were outstanding, especially the evolution of the characters in The Blind Side as they are still (in real life) extremely close. It just goes to show that there is still hope in the love of humans towards each other. stefrulz https://padlet.com/stefrulz/2cv5t2hi1xbk/wish/152354236 2017-02-08 03:06:06 UTC https://padlet.com/stefrulz/2cv5t2hi1xbk/wish/152354236 stefrulz https://padlet.com/stefrulz/2cv5t2hi1xbk/wish/152355248 Country Music Stereotypes]]> 2017-02-08 03:17:47 UTC https://padlet.com/stefrulz/2cv5t2hi1xbk/wish/152355248 stefrulz https://padlet.com/stefrulz/2cv5t2hi1xbk/wish/152355853 Rap Stereotypes]]> 2017-02-08 03:25:11 UTC https://padlet.com/stefrulz/2cv5t2hi1xbk/wish/152355853 eat my ass https://padlet.com/stefrulz/2cv5t2hi1xbk/wish/205693917 2017-11-10 14:18:23 UTC https://padlet.com/stefrulz/2cv5t2hi1xbk/wish/205693917
