Music from Fama (2)

I'm going to write a second part of "Songs from fama" because thanks to this TV show we are getting to know lots of new singers and amazing songs.

One of them is Lady Gaga, obviously that's not her real name. It is Steffanie Joanne Angelina Germannota. She didn't like it and she changed it by Lady Gaga. She was born in New York in 1986. In 2008, she moved to LA and she recorded her debut album The Fame which includes her hits Just Dance and Poker face.

Kate Perry is another Us singer. She was born in California in 1984. She started singing in the church when she was a child so she grew up listening to gospel music. Her first album One of the boys was released in 2008. It includes Hot n cold and I kissed a girl.

Some other songs consit of the collaboration of two famous singers. It is the case of Broken Strings by Nelly Furtado and James Morrison. Do you like this duet? What is the meaning of "you can't play on broken strings"?

Here you have the videos. Which do you prefer?

The Curious Case of Benjamin Button

Cinema brings a classic to scene again. In this case is F. Scott Fitzgerald's The curious case of Benjamin Button. Fitzegarld was an American writer who lived at the begining of the 20th Century. He belonged to "The lost generation": a group of US writers who lived and wrote between the First World War and the Great Depression. He is world-wide famous for novels such as The Great Gatbsy or Tender in the night (Suave es la noche).

The curious case of Benjamin Button tells the story of a boy who is born as a baby but he looks like an old man on the verge of dying. He is abandonded by his father, and he is brought up in a nursery home. There he meets Daisy, a young girl and they become friends. As Daisy gets older, Benjamin gets younger and they fall in love with each other...

Have you seen the movie? Did you like it? Do you think it would be better if we were born as old people and we died as babies?
