Greyson Chance Reveiw

Greyson Chance is a 14 year old kid who started out just like Justin Bieber did but unlike him Greyson has his own beat that changes with each song. His songs have a mix of country and hip hop and the beat of his songs are easy and fun to follow. A couple of his songs are about leaving a girl and learning how to turn away and get a new perspective which is close to Justin Bieber but the beats in his songs are stronger, unlike justin Bieber who had a lot of duets and his beats were softer. Gryeson Chance has a more mature voice then most 14 year olds. Another artist that Greyson could be compared to is Usher, mostly because when Usher does his songs he has a lot of deep beats and does a lot of songs himself. So Greyson Chance is a good artist for mostly teenagers because they can relate to him the most, and his songs will draw you in in the first couple of sentences. I would give Greyson Chance a 4 out of 5

Doctor Arrested for "Involuntary Manslaughter"

More than two years ago, the pop star Michael Jackson passed away. It was not until Monday, November 7th, that a verdict was reached. It was ruled by the court that Mr. Murray, Jackson's doctor, had been practicing reckless medical treatment. He apparently "used anaesthetic propofol without adequate safeguards" which was the cause for death in this case. It was reported that this anesthetic was given to Jackson to help him cope with insomnia. His lack of sleep was interfering with his ability to perform live concerts, which gives reason to the large amounts of sedatives and anesthetics he was taking. During the trial, Murray claimed to have given Jackson less anesthetic on the day of Jackson's death than on previous days. One proposed scenario depicted Jackson treating himself with the medication, causing his own death, a theory the jury rejected.
