The majority of her songs have a catchy beat and story. In fact, I could listen to Ke$ha’s songs all day long and not get tired of them. Ke$ha may apply auto-tune to her voice, but she does this intentionally to give it a robotic, techno effect.

A lot of people take it easy, but she likes to push us and help us succeed at what we want and determine to get. Another great thing about Ms. Morrow is that she has an encyclopedia of music and literature in her head. You can ask her anything about music and she'll know it.

From her 10 inch heels to her inventive hair styles (“bow” hairstyle, array of hair colours, high-sky hair) to her clothing that could consist of Swarovski crystals, spikes, fringe and latex.
The popularity of television shows like American Idol, X Factor, and America Got talent revealed that Americans are infatuated with music icons. For example America is obsessed with Beyoncé, Lil Wayne, Michael Jackson, The Beatles and Britney Spears. What these artists have in common is that they are wealthy, famous, and have amazing talent. This is what it takes for American’s to become interested in music icons.

Madonna, born Madonna Louise Veronica Ciccone, is a common household name. It is a name recognized by literally everyone in the world. Madonna was able to establish a name for herself and create this widespread recognition by not only beating out her male competitors in the entertainment industry but also establishing a name for herself as an icon for her fans all over the world.
