How to Perform the best you can

So many people, whether their young or ageing, have a unique talent. So many with great voices, but simply do not have a high level of performance. If you are one with a great talent such as musically inclined, but you do not know how to perform and let your talent out, I am here to help. Just because you are not a part of a successful musicians family does not necessarily mean you can not become one.

Stage fright is one of the most common issues with talented people, you need to over come it. Make sure you are confident in yourself and your work. Even if you like someone else's work and style does not mean that will work for you talent. Enjoy someone else's work, do not look at it like you can be better, try something of you own.

When you are performing you should always be positive about yourself and others around. You should be polite and smile when you are pausing or performing. This can keep the audience happy and put them in an excited mood as well as you. If your audience is happy then most likely you will be too. This will make you more successful and at an advantage. The audience will always have their opinions and they should never bring you down. Not everyone will agree with what you like. Never let a few people bring you down, because that will affect your talent.

When you are singing, make sure the audience can feel your desire and passion. A lot of people like to relate to your work, since in most cases they are use to being able to relate to music. If you believe in yourself and performance the audience will be able to feel that. If you do not believe in it your performance will have a negative view.

 Be open minded, whether it be a fan, such as a family member, friend, or stranger, the audiences opinion, a judge you are performing for, a professional song writer, or even someone you may be working with possibly for a duet. A partnership can be hard especially for the first time. A first impression should always be positive; you do not want to be an unhappy, non-confident partner.

Since you are trying to be the best performer you can, make an effort to show how you are different from any other artist. Audtition to most any place you can. Do not every think you are not good enough for any judge, because the judges can tell if you are fearful, they look for whether or not you know what your doing and can be confident.

Is Ne-Yo in over his head?

Ne-Yo, now senior vice president of A & R at Motown records, announced by Barry Weiss the Chairman of A & R, Ne-Yo originally from Def Jams Recording has his resolutions in order for 2013. He has recently shared with everyone that he’d like to include the country genre featuring Taylor Swift. Some however doubt his decision.

“For those of you worried that Ne-Yo might be veering a little out of his comfort zone with country radio, don’t worry he’s not venturing too far. He also told Stereotude that he wants to work with Kanye West again and why wouldn’t he?”

Ne-Yo is also confident in himself and has told other artists such as one of the group members of One Direction that he knows what he’s doing.

Ne-Yo, three time Grammy Award winning, multi-platinum recording artist, is working toward his fifth studio album. This album is expected to be released in summer for his Motown debut. He co-starred the role in Red Trails, as well as WWII movie George Lucas the newest one. The NBC television season that is coming soon known as The Voice has Ne-Yo as a mentor for Cee-Lo Green’s team. Motown is really looking forward to Ne-Yo being apart of their family. Ne-Yo is ecstatic to be apart of this family at Motown, but nervous. He knows he has a huge role to play, follow and stay on task with, although he says no one should worry because he knows he can do it.

Taylor swift an American singer and songwriter released her self-titled debut album in 2006. She is a country pop singer, and her albums are titled by the recording Industry Association of America as multi-platinum. She was a nominee at the 50^th Grammy awards for Best New Artists. She released her second album in 2008, known as fearless and that had won Album of the Year for the 52^nd Grammy Award show.

Both artists seem to have everything together, and would make a great team. Genres can be mixed together, and still be successful.

How do you picture a famous artist’s life to be?

Kelly Brianne Clarkson, a famous song writer and singer began her career when she won American Idol in 2002. She was born on April 24^th of 1982 in Burleson, Texas. She received her education from Burleson High School. She was raised in a small town, and then she was off to Hollywood in 2001.

She lived in her car at one point in time, just wanting to live her dream. She's thought about giving up her dream multiple of times, but new that wouldn't solve anything. Her friend Jessica promised to help pay for a demo take. She knew it wasn’t going to be easy but she kept trying. She supported herself tremendously, working odd jobs. She had made a few appearances on television and finally recruited a job as a female vocalist with Gerry Goffin. Until she arrived to her apartment one evening, to unexpectedly find it on fire. She was discouraged and moved back home to Texas.

That’s when her friend told her about American Idol, a new talent search show. She was one of the ten thousand contestants. The judges simply didn’t think she’d make it all the way through. After the brutal eliminations and critical evaluations by the judges Paula Abdul, Simon Cowell, and Randy Jackson, she proved them wrong and came out to be America’s winner on September 4^th 2002. She was awarded with a million dollar RCA record contract. Since she had a contract she knew she was a secure leading rock performer.

She had sold million of records; this put an abundant amount of pressure on her. She had done something new like she wanted; she had co-written her own songs for the record instead of using professional song writers. The resultant of this matter wasn’t very good. It ended with a dispute between her and Clive Davis. He thought it needed work since there wasn’t any singles on the album and that the tone was too negative. She argued that it didn’t need to be changed since it’s a very personal recording.

After the dispute, she found difficulties in her career process. Not only did she fire her manager but canceled a concert tour in summer of 2007. Her My December was released later in the year around June. It had a great turnout in sales but the argument between Davis and her was still around. She had regrets about the whole situation and said she had regretted the argument and that it had “blown way out of proportion.”

Ever since she and Davis had realized the importance of other’s opinions and how it’s important to get along especially for her career he released her new album even when he wasn’t obligated too. He did this out of respect knowing she’d be successful. When you can realize mistakes and can work together the atmosphere around you turns out better and for Clarkson it certainly did. Her album made it to No. 1 in the U.S. selling 225,000 copies that was just in the first week of it being out. She had many difficulties but she overcame everything and went with it. She understood that she needed to face her problems and get over them.
