MOST FAMOUS DANCE VIDEOS!

Hello beautiful people, let's talk about music, today I bring you the top 10 songs that were not only important for the lyrics but even more important for their choreography.

Although they do not usually occur on many occasions, a well-worked choreography can become the perfect ally to push a song to the top of the lists and revolutionize the clubs. There are them of all times, styles and nationalities but what they do have in common is their impact on popular culture in recent decades.

1. Village People - YMCA

When this group released a song that alluded directly to the Young Christians Association, the controversy became a perfect hook for the masses. To this we add one of the most famous choreographies in history, which emulated the movements of cheerleaders, which has not gone out of style.

2. Las Ketchup - Aserejé

Its freshness at that time, its hook to dance in beach bars throughout Spain and the indecipherable lyrics that some religious sectors came to describe as satanic message make the only success of these three Cordoba sisters in another clear example of contagious choreography.

5. PSY - Gangnam Style

The South Korean song from PSY, Gangnam Style revolutionized all discos, all artists worldwide wanted to dance it and YouTube named it as the most viewed video in history. Memorable.

6. OK Go - Here It Goes Again

OK Go knows that one of the keys to getting more followers and views, is in not being ashamed to create a different choreography, although their genre does not go hand in hand with dancing together, The are not forgetting resources like using impossible machines, subjective shots, home experiments and a lot of fun things.

7. LMFAO - Sexy And I Know It

As fast as they managed to reach the tops of popularity, it is now a fixed track in graduations and even in soccer stadiums. The LMFAO duo made up of Redfoo and Skyblu, surprised the market with Sexy And I Know It, a quite provocative choreography.

8. Los Del Rio - La Macarena

They were inspired by a trip they made to Venezuela in which they met a beautiful flamenco dancer named Diana Patricia. When the song became a hit, it became known as "Macarena". This was their first and only success.

9. BTS - ON Kinetic Manifesto Film: Come Prima

ON is a mix of hip-hop and electronic pop that in terms of energy level is typical of the band. In the chorus, catchy and frantic, BTS constantly repeats to us "bring the pain" or "let the pain come." It is a way of stating that BTS faces whatever it takes, because only with adversity are they able to fly off.

10. Michael Jackson - Smooth Criminal

Smooth Criminal is part of the Bad album that was released in 1987 written by Michael Jackson and John Barnes, the song is a piece from the Jackson movie Moonwalker. The lyrics of this song is about a woman named Annie who has been attacked in her apartment by an assailant, but who is she?

Which one did you like the most?

BEST MUSIC VIDEOS OF ALL TIME!

Hello beautiful people, who likes good music?, and who love that their favorite song has a music video? or to see your favorite artist performing live?.

Over the years we have had a large number of music videos with countless artists, some have been magnificent and others have fallen a little short. The truth is, that it has been 60 years since the artists began to have videos of their songs, one of the pioneers was the band The Beatles, since they wanted a new way of reaching their audience when they were no longer on tour.

Today I am going to leave you the 21 best music videos in history, so you can judge for yourself and tell me which one deserves the position and which video should enter the list.

Beyonce-Single Ladies
~ It is shot in black and white, Knowles denotes a characteristic alter ego.

The Beatles-Penny Lane

~ They are still seen for what they were: the most famous and relevant band of all time The Beatles on the street, in the East End or Chelsea. Nothing else, Nothing less.

Michael Jackson-They Don’t Care About Us

~ A video with a social theme, talk about racism and the video was shot in one of the favelas in Brazil.

Madonna-Justify My Love
~ A video full of black and white sexual paraphilias, worthy of the queen of pop.

Daft Punk-Da Funk

~ As Thomas Bangalter said: the video has no message, it's just a man-dog with his boombox in New York.

David Bowie-The Stars (Are Out Tonight)

~ David Bowie, Tilda Swinton, Saskia de Bauwn and Andreja Pejic together and scrambled in a video clip inspired by the American middle class.

Red Hot Chilli Peppers-Dani California
~ They tell their own rock and roll version of the story in the video.

The Chemical Brothers-Let Forever Be
~ It is one of the most celebrated (if not the most) videos of the Manchester electronic band.

Jamiroquai-Virtual Insanity

~ You can see a lot of ambiance of what you imagined the future would be like, with changing rooms of zero gravitation.

Coldplay-A Sky Full Of Stars

~ With so little on the screen a huge good wave is generated, the band disguised as "man orchestra" playing the song in front of their fans.

Nirvana-Smell Like Teen Spirit
~ It is considered as one of the music hymns of the 1990s, especially for the Generation X.

Britney Spears-Baby One More Time
~ Daydreaming, having a crush and being the fantasy of "Lolita" all that in one video.

Metallica-Turn The Page

~ It's more of a short film, the video told a heartbreaking story with all the flavor of the '80s in Los Angeles.

Janet and Michael Jackson-Scream

~ An absolute pleasure for the eyes in the 5 minutes that the video lasts. Unrepeatable. Unique Masterpiece.

Eminem-My Name Is
~ A video clip that is still fun today, Eminem in the shoes of a thousand and one television characters.

Lady Gaga-Bad Romance
~ A somewhat twisted and not so well reciprocated love, a harmful feeling with an impressive visual.

Rihanna-Bitch Better Have My Money
~ This is the sign of the times: violence, bad language and a lot of money to spend.

Aerosmith-Janie’s Got A Gun
~ David Fincher invented for Aerosmith a short film with abuse and revenge as the main theme.

Cyndi Lauper-Girls Just Want To Have Fun

~ We have very modest productions that have achieved a lot with very little, and the video by Cyndi Lauper is an example of this.

Spice Girls-Wannabe

~ It marked a before and after period, and specifically this video was the start shot to the career of the most famous girl band of all time.

Michael Jackson-Thriller

~ With a duration of 14 minutes, it was the longest music video so far, it has a structure closer to the short film and it pays homage to the zombie genre and horror movies in general.

Queen-Bohemian Rhapsody

~ The entire video clip is summarized in: basic lens effects (like those that could be done by any manual and home camera) and, medium shots of the band's members at a concert.

XOXO Li.

THE BEST COVERS!

Hello beautiful people, today I come to talk about covers in the musical world.

Let's start first by saying what the covers are. Covers are an area of the branch of music that refers to taking a song by a famous singer or composer and having another author interpret it but in a different way, either by changing the language, the lyrics or by changing the rhythm.

To make a cover and make a profit on it, it's necessary to make a letter or writing where it says wich covers are the ones you will record, how many copies will you sell, and what will be the name of your album. 

In case you upload it to a platform, you must buy a license that will cost you about 15 dollars plus the royalty payment to the artist, which will depend on the success of your version. You also have to put the credits of the original song; it means that it must say the name of the song, the original author and finally your name.

Doing a cover has its advantages, if you love to sing but still don't dare to show your own content, you can try other people's songs, you will be able to find your voice range when experimenting with different vibes and musical styles, and if you sing in another language you will perfect your pronunciation with the letters.

A good way to start would be to create a YouTube channel and place your covers there, but keep in mind that you must have everything correctly so as not to suffer the delete of a video; make sure you have a professional microphone, a good camera and learn to edit or have a partner to help you in that area.

Depending on your country, you will need to follow different laws or rules if you want to try a cover, you only have to do a good research first and have the necessary musical elements.

Covers are simply adaptations to your favorite songs made your way, it can also be seen as a sign of respect for those composers / performers. Today are several cover artists, most with accounts on YouTube, we also see bands/singers doing covers of other singers, and many times we have found that the cover is even better than the original song.

I will leave you what for me is the top 10 of Covers that will leave you surprised.

Halleluja - Pentatonix:

Rolling In The Deep - Linkin Park:

Stay - 30 Seconds to Mars: 

Summertime Sadness - Miley Cyrus:

Jolene - Sofia Ellar:

Natural - Kihyun de Monsta X:

She Will Be Loved - Bely Basarte:

Juice - Harry Styles:

We Are The Champions - Marc Martel:

Blurred Line - Vampire Weekend:

Hope you like this covers, tell me in the comment section who's your favorite!

XOXO Li.
