i think that that was kind of weird because we never got to watch a play and we usaly watch videos of people playing music.I have been in a play at my old school maukalani and we had to do this play about chritsmas and a year after that it was summer and i went to YMCA in makakilo and we had to do like a hip pop rutein.
ReplyDeleteI think that song was very expressive and I liked it a lot. At first I didn’t understand most of what they were singing but I put their actions along with their words and caught on. They were talking about slavery I believe, and how unfair it was to the women to be handled like the men get to do whatever they want and the women just don’t do anything about it. But the song “Hell No!” was saying to stand up for yourself and not put up with this crap that the men are making you do.
ReplyDeleteI didnt like it that much because i just dont understand. That music it will never get to me that to think that i would ever like. i dont like that kind of music it just doesnt get to me it is wierd. I dont ever want to listen to that ever again in my whole life. ive never seen a play before never. thats all ive got to say bye...................................
ReplyDeleteMy opinion on this video is that it was really good and the singing also was very good. Also my other opinion on this video is that I can see that it's a play,and that it's about something but I'm not sure what that thing is but anyway my opinion about it is that the song was good and the music was different from the ones that I hear almost everyday,or that it could have been the same instruments that we use but they we're playing it in a way that I didn't hear before. Now my other opinion on or about the video is that one that I didn't know what they were talking about and second is that it was a really good video.
ReplyDeleteMy opinion on the video is very very odd . I have lots of questions about the video that I just watched . Where were they supposed to be ? Where are they in real life ? Why is it called the color purple ? These are just very few of these questions . What exactly are they singing about . This is what I think of the video the color purple .
ReplyDeleteWhat I think about this song is its funky I like the beat of the song.What I think about this song is it have a lot of people singing it has a good grove to it. It has nice beat to it its just like jazz well it not like jazz but it sounds just like jazz I like it a lot.That's all I have to say this song rocks!!!
ReplyDeletei think it looks very difrent from the regular dancing in america .it looks cool and the music is very diferent from are day to day music on the radio. and the way they dress is very ubique and it looks like window curtanes witch is cool.the drums looks very hard because they all have to stay in beat.and that looks hard
ReplyDeleteMy opinion on this video is that they have a great harmony. I love what it is called. The name of this show is the color purple.I think that this song has a little jazz in it. How they sing to me is they have a very strong voice. I think the first time I was going to here this that it was going to sound werid. But after it was the best thing that I heard on youtube. I think tat they were talking about God and what he can do to you. This song was way different from tesongs that i had lisson to. And it was he best. I love that thy act like they were real sisters. The lady was sing about that you need to learn how to fight back it because the mandoesn't do anthing.They were singing and telling that she needs to fight back when she stiil can. I love how they made the people that was watching that they realy loved it. Why I love the song it is because I never hard an alsome show. It must of took them a short time learning thesong and making the harmoney sound great. When I grow up I want to have a great voice like them. After you listen to it you will realy get what it realy means and what it stands for. Somtimes I don't type that much but that wa a great video that I seen. They are the best acterist. That was so cool.
ReplyDeleteI really like that rocking music and i like the jazz music. I wish i had a instruments like that and i wish i had a teacherthat could teach me and i could learn jazz from a teacher and i really like the sound of that rocking beat it was cool. I realy like the harmony and when i grow up i want to get one.I really like the video of the color purple.
ReplyDeleteI think that that was kind of weird because I never got the time to watch a play and we usaly watch videos of people playing music. I think about this song is its funky I like the beat of the song.I also think that it was kind of weird because i thought that it was a play mixed with an opera but i never saw a opera.
