Do you remember the first time you saw your favorite star? I have been a fan of singer Taylor Swift for over three years. Everything seems better when I listen to her songs.

Swift, born in America in 1989, currently plays a very important role in American music. No one would have believed that this small town girl would become a worldwide phenomenon. Swift first became famous as a top country music singer. Now, she is so well-known that everyone wants to know how she became famous. Few people know she struggled before she succeeded.

Unlike Justin Bieber, Lady Gaga or many other singers, Swift was famous for country music first. Her success came at a high price. She has been writing songs since she was 13 years old. She was trying hard to make her dream come true while other children of her age were playing, dating and having fun at parties. She was repelled by her classmates at that time, so she expressed her thoughts by singing them. That’s why so many people identify with her songs and they quickly spread around the world.

Many fans have been attracted by both her songs and personality. Her story encourages you never to lose yourself when you’re in trouble. To make your dream come true is the best way to prove yourself.

She has transformed from country singer to pop singer. “Shake It Off” is very different from her previous songs. I like that she carries her favorite guitar and sings her favorite songs in the middle of the stage quietly.

We’re growing, and so has Swift. Her singing style changed. I hope Swift will have an even better future.

My favourite singer is Michael Jackson. I like his songs very much because they are full of energy and very melodic. I also like the way he dances.

There were nine children in Michael's family. They lived in a small fourroom house. Later he lived in a house which has seventeen rooms downstairs and sixteen rooms upstaires. It stands in 2,700 acres of ground. Besides the house there are guest houses, a golf course, a swimming pool, tennis courts, stables, gardens, lakes, forests and a zoo.

A lot of strange stories are told about Jackson. It's difficult to decide whether they are true or not. Michael never gave interviews and was rarely seen in public, except on stage. Certainly his behaviour may seem eccentric. In public he often wore a face mask to protect himself from germs, he slept inside an oxygen capsule, which he believed would help him to live longer. But his manager says that Jackson wasn't eccentric. He was just shy. Michael sang in public for the first time when he was five. Since that time he had always been in the public eye. And since that time he had been working like a grown-up.

There were times when he came home from school and he only had time to put his books and get ready for the studio. He often sang until late at night, even if it was past his bedtime. There was a park across the street from the studio, and Michael looked at the kids playing games. And he just stared at them in wonder — he couldn't imagine such freedom, such a carefree life.

He said about himself that in the crowd he was afraid, on stage he was safe. Off stage he felt happiest with animals and children. He was well-known for his childish tastes. It's not a secret that his favourite hero was Peter Pan.

Michael has been called "the child who never grew up", but I think he was a grown-up who was never allowed to be a child.

Whether he was crazy, childish, eccentric or just shy, he was no fool. He created a brilliantly successful image, he made a lot of money and spent it on the things he wanted. Who wouldn't like to do the same?
