Justin Bieber
Justin Drew Bieber; (born March 1, 1994) is a Canadian singer and
songwriter. He was raised by his Christian single mother Pattie Mallette, who
became pregnant at the age of seventeen. Bieber released his debut EP, My
World, in late 2009. It has been certified platinum in the United States. He
became the first artist to have seven songs from a debut record to chart on the
Billboard Hot 100. Bieber released his first full-length studio album, My World
2.0, in 2010. It debuted at or near number one in several countries and was
certified platinum in the United States. It was preceded by the single
"Baby". He followed up the release of his debut album with his first
headlining tour, the My World Tour, the remix album titled, My Worlds
Acoustic, and Never Say Never – The Remixes, and the 3D biopic-concert film
Justin Bieber: Never Say Never. Bieber released his second studio album, Under
the Mistletoe, in November 2011, when it debuted at number one on the Billboard
200. Bieber released his third studio album, Believe, in 2012. His fourth
studio album Purpose was released in November 2015.
He has won numerous fan-voted awards, including American Music Award for
Artist of the Year in 2010 and 2012. His fan base, dubbed
"beliebers", largely consist of early to mid-adolescent girls. He was
listed three times by Forbes magazine as one of the top ten most powerful
celebrities in the world in 2011, 2012, and 2013.
As a child Bieber learned to play the drums, the piano, the guitar, and
the trumpet. In 2007 he participated in a local singing competition, placing
second, and his mother posted a video of his performance on the Web site
YouTube for friends and family who were unable to attend. She later uploaded
other homemade videos, in which Bieber sang popular rhythm-and-blues (R&B)
songs and occasionally accompanied himself on acoustic guitar, and they soon
attracted attention beyond their originally intended audience. Among those who
saw Bieber’s videos was Scott (“Scooter”) Braun, a music promoter and talent
agent, who invited the 13-year-old Bieber to record demos at a studio in
Atlanta. While there, Bieber happened to encounter R&B singer Usher and
arranged an informal audition with him. Impressed by Bieber’s natural
confidence and vocal talent, Usher helped sign him to a recording contract in
late 2008.
Bieber is often featured in teen magazines such as Tiger Beat, and has
been labeled as a "teen heartthrob". Wax statues of Bieber are on
display at Madame Tussauds wax museums in New York, Amsterdam and London. His
change of hairstyle in 2010, and the consequent alterations to Bieber products,
led to it being called 'the most expensive musical haircut of all time; one
company spent $100,000 to fix its dolls for the 2011 Christmas season.
In 2010, Bieber was consistently criticized for looking and sounding
younger than his age, and the following year for his androgynous appearance,
which has been frequently noted in the media, including when he appeared on the
cover of LOVE magazine's androgyny issue in 2011. His teen-pop music, image
(especially as a heart-throb to young teenage girls), and the media attention
he receives have additionally been criticized, and he has been a frequent
target of Internet bloggers and message board posters, notably by users of
Internet message board 4chan and users of YouTube.Nick Collins of The
Daily Telegraph speculated that "Bieber's character appears to strike a
particularly sour note with his Internet critics" and that they have also
questioned his manner of speech.
Some of his fanbase are known as "Beliebers", which the
Chicago Tribune included as one of the top buzzwords of 2010. The early Bieber
fanbase developed on YouTube, and predated the release of Bieber's first album.
Bieber's popularity is a result of the Internet, with a large segment of the
fan community actively continuing to use it to communicate with their fellow
fans. Bieber's management team makes an effort to mobilize and coordinate
Bieber's fans into taking actions related to Bieber.

WORLD TELEVISION DAY at T.R.A.C.S
Think back to the classic television shows and
the theme tunes are every bit as memorable as the characters. How can anyone
forget songs like the Munster's theme or even Edith singing and playing the
piano on All In The Family.

World Television Day
World Television Day is not so much a celebration of the
tool, but rather the philosophy which it represents. Television represents a
symbol for communication and globalization in the contemporary world.
On
December 1996 the United Nations General Assembly proclaimed 21 November as
World Television Day commemorating the date on which the first World Television
Forum was held in 1996.
Opposition
to this declaration took the form of 11 abstentions to a vote on the
resolution; in expressing their opposition, the delegation from Germany said:
“ There
are already three United Nations days encompassing similar subjects: World
Press Freedom Day; World Telecommunication Day; and World Development
Information Day. To add another day does not make much sense... [T]elevision is
only one means of information and an information medium to which a considerable
majority of the world population has no access... That vast majority could
easily look at World Television Day as a rich man's day. They do not have
access to television. There are more important information media and here I
would mention radio in particular. We think it is more important to enhance the
role of those media than that of television.”
Theme
music
Theme
music is a piece that is often written specifically for a radio program,
television program, video game or movie, and usually played during the intro,
during title sequence and/or ending credits.
The phrase
theme song or signature tune may also be used to refer to a signature song that
has become especially associated with a particular performer or dignitary;
often used as they make an entrance. The purpose of a theme song is often
similar to that of a leitmotif. Such songs can also be used in other ways. One
author has made extensive use of them in an effort to explore the feelings
behind world views.
