    My favourite song was Hound Dog by Elvis Presley. It was my favourite because it was much more up beat compared to the other two, the background of the music also rolled in nicely with the rest of the song, as did everything else did. The lyrics were a little repetitive, however there seemed to be a few verses and a chorus.

    1. My favourite was the first video.
    2. It was my favourite because it used lots of different instruments and sounded very bleusy.
    3. It didn't have many lyrics however it sounded like he was saying them rather than singing them.

    My favourite out of the 3 was the last one (Ellis Presley ) as it had a good use of musical instruments and flowed well with a constant rhythm and was very upbeat .The lyrics were structured into verses and chorus' .

    My favourite one was the third one they made the songs the same by reusing the lyrics had a good beat and you could clap along a bit boring

    my favourite is tin roof blues because it's starts off really slow then it gradually gets faster and you can hear all the instruments separately but they blend in really well together.he talking about his hometown, new orleans, and the woman he met when he was living there. he is also repeating how much he loves her by expressing his feelings in the song. he is also talking about his memories in new orleans which makes us think that he has probably moved house.

    My favourite song was by B.B King. The reason is because it was quite a slow rhythm and very bluesy I also like how the guitar was the lead instrument and the piano and drums followed it.
