Lots of films easily come  to mind merely due to the song in it. These have become the signature ones for the  film, not only the jingle. They will definitely stand the test of time

Candycandice, Elvis Presley… All his songs are hits. He didn’t have the voice like Whitney Huston, but he had a charisma and was very genuine with the audiance who was mostly girls. And his songs were coming from heart. Very unique singer, whose signature songs’re mostly all his songs.

It comes to my mind, for instance, Michael Jackson’s Thriller, Madonna’s Like a Virgin, Frank Sinatra’s My way.


Some of the artists of today that I think could stand the test of time are U2 and Coldplay, they have pretty good songs and are very popular between people of all ages

Definitely , There are many ways we can use in order to express of our love, sometimes we love anything until if was that thing is weird .


I think the only thing make you happy when you found your soul beside someone likes you , worried about you , thinking about you .


theses  day We have another ways reflect about what we need , what we love .


I guess the artist reflect about all our desires . specially if was this singer r young like us , present time need to a new culture mostly  of people they are young over the world , they prefer modern music .


the sense is  change in the past mostly of people were preferably classic music , But now everything is change .


if you want to be iconic figure you must try to find a new ways in order to got on admiration of fans .


Good luck to All fans .

I start being rebelious at an early age Lesya.  So instead of spanking I started to get punishment, for instance my guardian won’t give me pocket money anymore, and she’ll start to pick me up from school…


“why you have to hold my hand, that’s embarassing”


O! the laughters of my peers

My parents were wise letting me do what I want in my childhood. I’m grateful for that. I hate any restritions. Smile

If I were you I would also pretend I saw it. All my sympathy to your severe childhood. My parents never restrict me from anything. They wanted to check me how far I will go with my actions Laughing
