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?

High School Musical: The Ice Tour

Disney's High School Musical: The Ice Tour is the live fusion of songs, dance and team inspired by the hit Disney Channel Original Movie "High School Musical" and "High School Musical 2."

This show is travelling around Spain and it was performed in Valencia on 14th November in the Stadium "Fuente de San Luis". The actors are skilful skaters who sing and dance on the ice using the plot of HSM and HSM2.

The show has been presented at the same time than High School Musical 3: Senior Year where the story of Troy and Gabriella seems to come to an end. Disney said that there will be a High School Musical 4, but it will have different characters and stories.

So, for my lucky students who attended the show, did you like it? Did you understand the songs?

Were the singers good? What do think about the last movie? Have you seen it?
