Wonder why some pop singers appear to enjoy so much fame in their time. Usually, there are some valid reasons for their popularity.
Let's take a look at Madonna. Madonna is an international icon today, recognized and admired by millions of fans all over the world (1) FOR her strong and independent image as a pop star. Many of her fans have followed her (2) PATH to stardom and consider her their (3) IDOL Her pop music career (4) SPAINS almost two decades, quite an achievement for the fickle world of pop culture (5) WHERE artistes fall into and out of fashion (6) EASILY One reason for her staying power is her chameleon-like (7) ABILITY to reinvent herself. She shot to (8) FAME with hits such as Holiday, Material Girl, True Blue and Live to Tell. Although her (9) VENTURE into movies has not been as successful as her music, her position as queen of pop music was undeniable in the 1980s up till the 1990s. She has been a (10) CONTROVERSIAL figure, sparkling off much debate for mixing religion and sexuality in her songs and music videos. She has (11) INFLUENCED pop music, fashion and style, shocking and impressing many people at the same time. Her (12) UNIQUE identity in a era when so many pop singers look and sound alike puts her in a class of her own.
Another icon with even more mass appeal in his day is Elvis Presley. Nicknamed the King of Rock and Roll, or simply, the King, he ruled the pop music (13) SENSE during the 1950s. By (14) COMBINING black rhythm-and-blues music with white country blues, he created new styles of music and in the process re-invented wock-and-roll. It was considered remarkable and even revolutionary at a time when black and white Americans (15) LED separate lives and lived in great (16) MISTRUST of one another. Through music, he (17) BRIDGED a visiable gap between the two groups of Americans. To the youth of his generation, Elvis also (18) SYMBOLIZED rebelliousness and vitality. His influence (19) PEAKED in the 1950s but declined after the 1960s with the rise of other pop groups. He died in 1977 but he is remembered until today and thousands still flock to Graceland, his home, every anniversary of his death. Elvis Presley has definitely become a music (20) LEGEND

“Oh, you’re so lucky living in Bath, It’s such a wonderful, lovely, historical place,” people say enthusiastically, and all you can think of is the awful parking, the crowds of tourists, the expensive shops, the narrow-minded council, and the terrible traffic....
Luckily, I don’t live in Bath but nearly ten miles away in a village called Limpley Stoke in the Avon valley. It seems to be normal in the countryside these days for professional people who work in the town prefer to live in the villages, this makes the housing so expensive that the villagers and agricultural workers have to live in the cheaper accommodation in town, with the result that the farmers commute out to the farm and everyone else commutes in. Certainly, there is nobody in the village could be called an old style villager. The people nearest to me include a pilot, an accountant, a British Rail manager, a retired teacher... not a farm worker among them. But I don’t think there is anything wrong with that- it’s just that the nature of villages is changing and there is still quite a strong sense of community here. A lot of this sense of community comes from the Post Office, which is a center for all the gossip and information. I find out what is going on while I am there, pretending to control my two-year-old son. My feeling is that if my son took the money collected for the children, it would go directly where it was needed but they don’t see it like that.
Working at home I tend to wander round the village at times when other people are at the office, which has given me a reputation for being incredibly lazy or unbelievably rich but I still don’t get enough time to look after the garden we bought. My wife had a good idea for the first year. “Let’s just leave it and see what comes up” There were some nice plants among the weeds. She had a good idea for the second year as well. “Why don’t we leave it and see if it all comes up again?” We did, and that is why we need to hire a full-time gardener this year.
