Sample Answer 1

I have a number of favourite singers who always force me to evaluate and re-evaluate their musical works because of their unique, and sometimes, extraordinary musical appeal, but one particular singer, who has always puzzled me with his musical talent, is John Lennon for many years.  

John Lennon, arguably one of the best singers of all time who changed the trajectory of “rock and roll” music forever, is not only a singer but also a “reformist”. Lennon was “rebellious” in nature, and almost all of his songs reflected that particular aspect of his characteristics. He didn’t like war, political corruption along with many other contemporary social “ills”, and his songs also just followed suit. Even though this great singer was a “social reformer”, he didn’t forget to express love, friendship, intellectual keenness and sense of humour in his songs in a rather unique manner. Anyway, all kinds of people, including young or old, professionals or working-class people, regular persons or intellectuals, male or female with a bit “rebel” in them, love to listen to his music. Having said that, however, only “philanthropists” people actually appreciate his musical talents as the way they should be.

John Lennon is my favourite singer mainly because makes me care for the people and society around me. He is my favourite singer also because no other singer like Lennon has ever been able to mix “acerbic” with intellectual humour before. Besides, I feel like each and every song of John Lennon carries some kind of “secret” meanings. On top of that, unlike many other singers, John Lennon used to write and compose many of his songs by himself, and as a result, many of his songs have become real “masterpiece”. Finally, John Lennon is my favourite singer also because of his different vocal techniques from song to song.

I love listening to music from Celine Dion. In fact, I am in love with her songs. She is a Canadian singer and her full name is Céline Marie Claudette Dion. She was born in 1968. She had a struggling career and now she is one of the most famous singers in the world. This is a nice candidate task card for me and I will explain about her here.  

Celine Dion is a pop singer and prefers melodious songs. But her songs are also influenced by several genres like rock, classical, gospel etc. Nonetheless, she is famous all over the world for her lucid voice and singing style. She is the singer who sings in several languages including French, Chinese, English, Italian, Latin, Japanese, and Spanish. She is also considered as the most influential and popular voice in the history of pop music. She is also popular for her vocal performance in the theme track of Titanic movie – My Heart Will Go On. Her popularity is skyrocketing and she won five Grammy Awards for her outstanding performance. She turned in to the second best-selling female singer in the USA. She was also honoured for selling over 50 million albums in Europe in 2003.

Celine Dion is popular among the people who have crossed their 20s. In fact, to realize the meaning of her song lyrics, a listener needs to be of a certain age. Her songs are not associated with musical noise only and they have some special inner meaning. Accordingly, she has become a popular singer and I am also a fan of her for some reasons. The most important thing about being her fan is her voice. It attracts me. Besides, her devotion to her musical career also requires attention. All such reasons have made her favourite to me.
