Reflection Task 3

I think the person of the year should be Rihanna because Rihanna is a huge pop star all over the world and has been for over 13 years. Rihanna is a pop star because of her unique voice and fabulous songs. However, this is not the only reason. She has made so many number 1 hits, she has the most liked page on facebook, millions of Youtube views on nearly all of her videos. Also, she is famous because she knows which music genre suits her voice, she knows how to sing to suit her voice, she knows how to write an excellent song and finally, she knows which of her songs will make it to number 1 and which will not. These are the main characteristics of being a pop star, and Rihanna has ticked all the boxes, in my eyes. In 2003, at the age of 15, Rihanna got a big break when one of her friends introduced her to a music producer known as Evan Rogers, who was on holiday in Barbados with his wife. Evan, along with his work partner, Carl Sturken, helped Rihanna record songs in America. These songs were then sent to various recording companies. One song that Rihanna had recorded was sent to Jay-Z, a famous rapper, who eventually signed her to Def Jam Records. After Jay-Z heard her sing, he was extremely convinced that she had great potential and could become extremely successful in the music industry. Today, Rihanna is one of the most famous singers in the world and is known by nicknames such as RiRi, Caribbean Queen and The Barbados Babe. Rihanna changed the world by singing what she wanted and what was going on in her head. She also became a huge teenage idol because of her singing and fashion and what she did for charities, for example, she donated money to children all over the world and she helped the unprivileged. I think Rihanna changed the world for the better.
