2022.1 N7 - WRITING A REVIEW by Helder Prado https://padlet.com/lablinguasprof01/d1supyynstnw0q02 You're going to write a review of an artist whose work you like. en-us 2022-04-13 20:33:41 UTC 2022-04-19 00:02:16 UTC hello@padlet.com Clarice Lispector - Isadora https://padlet.com/lablinguasprof01/d1supyynstnw0q02/wish/2144334554 Clarice Lispector is a Brazilian writer, very know by the reading public. Although she is very well know, Clarice was not born in Brazil,  but in Ukraine in December 10, 1920 and she died in December 9, 1977.
Clarice has always been criticized for her difficult texts, like "A paixão segundo G.H", for example. However, Clarice wrote with your soul. In my opinion, texts like this are much better.
She is not part of the Brazilian Academy of Letters, on the other hand, she is a world-renowned writer. 
For me, your short stories are great. Many people like her short stories, for that reason, they are always the best sellers among her books.]]> 2022-04-14 20:35:56 UTC https://padlet.com/lablinguasprof01/d1supyynstnw0q02/wish/2144334554 Elis Regina https://padlet.com/lablinguasprof01/d1supyynstnw0q02/wish/2145726867 Elis Regina was a very popular Brazilian singer. Some of her popular songs are: "Águas de Março", "Madalena", "Romaria and "Se eu quiser falar com Deus". However, other music speaks about a social criticism of the period of the Brazilian dictatorship.  For that reason musics like "Alô, Alô Marciano", "O Bêbado e a Equilibrista and "Como nossos pais" are examples of protest songs against the dictatorial regime and social inequality.
Despite this, her music and work are very present in Brazil today, especially in such an authoritarian moment. 
 She died of an overdose in 1982.

Although, he plays drums, guitar, piano and trumpet. Nowadays, people associate him as an American, even though he is Canadian. Is among the most internationally known pop singers. 
Today, he is married and religious. However, he went through problematic phases with drugs and polemics. Particularly, his best songs are the old ones as "Eenie Meenie", "Never Say Never", "One Less Lonely Girl", because they remind me of my childhood and good moments. For that reason, I really like him! Even more, old musics are much better than the currently ones. 
This year, Justin is coming to Brasil at the Rock in Rio festival and tickets are already sold out. As well as turns to São Paulo for his "Justice" album tour, launched in 2021. I hope to be able to go, because in my opinion, It's really worth to take part of those moments of the artist, they're remarkable!

He had many hit songs like "Sweet Memories; Unchain My Heart; You Don't Know me; Hit the Road Jack; I Got a Woman and much more". Despite being blind, no one passed him by back when it came to money.

Ray Charles had twelve children with different women. He died on June 10, 2004 in Los Angeles, Califórnia, but before he died, he left a million dollars for each of his children.
I watched his biography history and in my opinion, his life was so crazy, difficult and had many ups and dows, mainly for being black and blind person. However, he was insistent and never gave up. Therefore he Shined!

Chester Bennington  was the main member of the band Linkin Park, a great hit at 2000's.
With his higher pitched vocals and screams gave the band a distinguish style.
When kid, he suffered child abuse. At the school, got bullied. And, his parents was divorcing. Since he was young he had to deal with depression and drugs addict.
Found in the music a way to talk about his fellings.
Before his last band, he sang to a band called Grey Daze but it didn't go well and last from 1996 to 1998. At the time he worked at Burguer King.
Only in 1999 he got an invitation to have a test to be the singer of a Californian band called Xero, that later would be renamed as Hybrid Theory and then Linkin Park.
With the band, he scored hits like Numb, In The End and Crawling. Even made a collab album with the rapper Jay-Z.
Even with the success of his carrier, depression and drugs hit him back again and the band took a long pause.
Some years later came back with another style, more experimental, sentimental and  different from earlier albums.
This change didn't make happy some older fans of the band, but it made a considerable success.
In 2017, he was found dead by his wife, it was know that he committed suicide, due to his depression history and by the death of one of his best friend Chris Cornell.
He left behind a wife and 6 kids. Fans and artists paid tribute to the singer. His death contributed a lot with the awareness of depression as a illness.]]> 2022-04-17 21:39:10 UTC https://padlet.com/lablinguasprof01/d1supyynstnw0q02/wish/2146239520 Ivete Sangalo https://padlet.com/lablinguasprof01/d1supyynstnw0q02/wish/2146250453 The artist whose I would like work is Ivete Sangalo, the queen of Bahia’s Carnival.

She is a brasilian singer, multi instrumentalist and presenter of many programas. In my opinion, Ivete is a super charismatic and joyful artist, and this make people be contaminated with you joyness.

However, even with all this joyness, Ivete had important losses in your life.  Her father died early and she lost her brother who was sixteen years old, so she had to work early to supplement the budget of family.

Even though she had to work in a lot of other things, the music always was in your life. Since she was a child she has been singing and playing percussion. In 1991 she worked as backing vocal, and after she was the lead singer of Banda Eva, where she remained for five years, making a huge success.

Nevertheless, at the height of the band, Ivete decided that she will have your own career and there goes more than twenty years of more success.

I think that Ivete Sangalo is an exemple of power, determination and courage withou losig the joy and for all this reasons she is the artist that I would love to work with.

 She was born in 4 de setembro de 1981 in Texas USA. She is also known by the name of Queen B, because people consider her as a super star in the music world.
Beyoncé started in the world of music very soon, in 1990 she was part of a group called Destiny’s Child’s, of which her father was the manager. The group was absolutely famous, but unfortunately in 2006 the girls splitted because there were problems in the management of the group. For that reason they started their own solo career. Even though the group was gone, Beyoncé didn’t give up; she launched her first studio album as a solo singer named “Dangerously In Love”, which contains the smash hit “Crazy in Love”. In spite of the problems and polemics, she never let her career be affected.
In my point of view, Beyoncé is a great singer, really talented, she dances, sings and acts on the stage, when she is performing there is nothing else around just her (and the huge fan in front of her). She inspire other girls to follow their dreams and be who they are.

Until mid 2013 he was best known for creating comedy videos on youtube, even thought the jokes were very problematic, following a jackass style, and it was with his pseudonym Pink Guy that the Harlem Shake meme originated and from there viral dances became common on the internet. .

Joji grew up in Osaka, Japan and learned to make music using Garage Band. In 2017, he quit his youtube career and joined 88rising, a music label that supports Asian artists, and then he managed to make music the way he wanted: melancholic, complex, that mix pianos and super sensitive chords that contrast with distorted beats and incredible 808s . His lyrics speak a lot about loss and sadness, something that is unusual for pop that is exported from Japan.

Joji was considered one of the most influential people in the world by Dazed's 2020 report and his song "Slow Dancing in The Dark" exceeds 800m plays on spotify]]> 2022-04-18 19:43:44 UTC https://padlet.com/lablinguasprof01/d1supyynstnw0q02/wish/2147464811 Dua Lipa by Felipe Soares felipesoaresluiz https://padlet.com/lablinguasprof01/d1supyynstnw0q02/wish/2147475913 Dua Lipa is an English singer and songwriter.

The album has been certified platinum in numerous countries worldwide and won Dua Lipa the Brit Awards for British Female Solo Artist and British Breakthrough Act in 2018. After that, Dua Lipa released your second album 'Future Nostalgia', which was very successful in the next two years.

This album has songs and a lot of knowledge about the whole world such as 'Don't Start Now', 'Physical' and 'Levitating'. However, the singer didn't stop to do your music and released other features. She has music with Elton John, Megan Thee Stallion, Bad Bunny, and the other successful singers.

She is an amazing singer and songwriter, in my point of view. In your shows, she has a stage presence, interacts with your public, and dances a lot, in addition, to singing perfectly. She is one of the most female singers very powerful in this generation, including the Doja Cat, Ariana Grande, Anitta, and the other artists very incredible.

Another role that she did was in “The Beauty and the Beast”, being the princess Belle. The actress has also won a lot of awards over the years, one of them is “The best actress” from the Otton Award.

Tarantino really is a great director and he prove it earning a lot of awards, including the Oscar of the best original screenplay by Pulp Fiction. However a lot of people disagree and don1t like his movies, for being too bloody or stagnant, but I truly disagree of them, because ,although he is one of my favorite movie director, I wonder that the person who said this kind of things haven't understood his films. 

Nevertheless I can't disagree in saying that his movies aren't bloody, but It's his mark and while he keep producing movies, it always will be bloody and a little of gore, thing that I, personally, don't dislike.

In spite of all the criticism, his movies are still being huge success in the entire world. And he said, that he will is to produce 10 movies, so we are waiting his filmography ends very anxious.

However, the boyband separeted some years ago and Harry has continued his career since then. For that reason I still listen to his songs and also the old songs, because me feel good and remember my teenager's moments. And I'm very happy to say that I went to their show when they were in São Paulo in 2014.

Besides, about his personal life, Harry was born on february 1° (1994), he's british and has one sister.

At last, my favorite solo song of him is "Sign of the Times" and from One Direction is "Kiss You".

She started her career in the industry at a very young age and became successful at a very young age too. She writes a lot of songs about her life and her relationships. In my opinion, her music is great and the lyrics and production of her songs are absolutely amazing. Despite the awards she won, her songs have been heavily criticized by the media. They wanted to draw her as a mean girl, but they couldn't. For that reason, she wrote the song called "the man". The singer thinks girls in the media are criticized more than boys, what is a fact. Nowdays, people want perfect bodies, perfect mood, perfect behavior, but they don't see that we are all human and have many flaws. She's not my favorite singer, but I think she's a great person and singer and deserve all the good recognition that she receives.

I think she is an excellent singer, with impeccable musical power. Despite most of her lyrics declaring love suffering, the point about female empowerment is very important in this artist. Although she always considered constructive criticism and was very polite to the public around her. However with his career at the height of success, he never ceased to be a humble and kind person towards the population. I admire this artist, not only as a singer, but as a person in general. 
Not to mention the physical beauty that this woman had. Teaching in one way or another about overcoming and loving yourself as we are. She will always be remembered with a big smile, a striking look and an unforgettable voice.
