- Opinion:
- What did you find most interesting
about the performance of the song? (Be Specific)
·
I liked that there were different
voices, this meant that the song kept its interest throughout because you never
knew who was going to sing next.
·
I liked the fact that the song got more
and more intense as the music went on and I liked that it ended loudly, because
it kept my interest and makes me want to hear the next song.
·
I liked that the piano was so important
in this song, it made the song sound extremely magical because it was played in
its highest register.
- What didn't you like about the song? (Be Specific)
·
I didn’t like that in the beginning you
couldn’t hear the lyrics that she was singing. I didn’t like this because it
distracted me from the music.
·
I didn’t like that the percussion didn’t
really start playing until half way through, because I think that the beginning
of the song sounded a little boring without it.
