McFly...



As long as I am on the topic of art and what meets the qualifications, I thought I would take the time and recognize my favorite music artists. Just as visual art, dance and acting all represent expression, creativity, and though provoking discussions, so does music. Yes , by characterizing myself as a woman of classic taste I highly enjoy the compositions of Mozart and Beethoven as well as the must hear songs of the 60's, 70's and 80's, but British Pop/Punk/Rock band McFly has caught my attention.

A few years ago I watched the movie Just My Luck staring Lindsay Lohan and Chris Pine. Although the acting and plot was mediocre, the music stood out. The movie somewhat revolves around a struggling band trying to make it big in NYC. By watching this film I could tell the band had definite talent, so I grabbed my dad's laptop, opened the Internet browser to google and YouTube to find out if the band in the movie really existed. Luckily for me they did and do. Actually, I discovered they weren't struggling musicians at all, rather the Jonas Brothers of England, on top of all the music charts,and worshiped by teen girls all over Europe and it is obvious why.

Tom Fletcher, Harry Judd, Dougie Pointer, and Danny Jones: good looks, sultry voices, bad boy attitude, British accents and incredible lyrics and melodies complete the perfect recipe for boy band success. Their song personality can be described as bubble gum pop mixed with classic rock with some alternative qualities. Like many forms of art, music and its artistic nature and appeal can be argued: personal taste and opinion always prevail. So the only way I can convince people to appreciate this art form is to expose them to it. So here is a link to one of my favorite McFly songs, I hoep you enjoy!
