New with the Old

For this post, I wanted to compare some of my favorite artists to their past selves. I hope this works. I'm not going to make a decision as to whether they've improved or gotten worse, I'm just going to give evidence to maybe some changes in their music. I could also show how far they've come in their music.
Lifehouse is one of my favorite artists. I don't know what it is, but I really enjoy listening to them. I remember their hit, "Hanging By a Moment." I still love that song. It's a hit for a reason. 

Now, compare that to one of their more recent hits. The song "All In" is really good song. It's one of those songs that I have to sing along to. Who am I kidding? I sing to practically every song that I hear that I like. This one I obviously like a lot.

Another band that I love is Maroon 5. They are amazing and their music makes waves in the music industry. I have loved their music for a few years now.  The song, "She Willed be Loved" has always resonated with me. It's not a song about sex. It's a song about love. That' what is so great about it. It's also about a guy wanting to love a girl. It's very romantic which is awesome.

I feel like this next song is a little bit different than the other Maroon 5 song. The music video, in particular, is very sexual. I think so, at least. I feel like it takes away from the song's musicality. Sometimes the music video can get in the way of the music, if you know what I mean. That's what happens here. It's a little bit too showy for my taste. It's still a good song, though.

 Kelly Clarkson started out as an American Idol. She is one of the best singers to come out of that television show. I don't really watch the show and I don't really like the idea of it in general, but I have to admit that she is a good artist and I like her music. One of her first singles, "Because of You" is a heart-wrenching tune about hurt. It's about feeling broken after being heart-broken. The girl in the song can't trust anyone now because of how she was hurt by this guy. It's a really good song.

One of Kelly Clarkson's more recent hits, "Already Gone" is another slow song. It also pulls on your heart strings like the aforementioned song. This is also about a relationship that has gone wrong. It's about looking back and remembering what it was like while she was in the relationship. This song is very similar to the previous song that was shown. I think that Kelly Clarkson has really stuck with the same style which works for her.
