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

One pleasant New-year morning, Edward rose, and washed and dressed himself in haste. He wanted to be first to wish a happy New Year. He looked in every room, and shouted the words of welcome. He ran into the street, to repeat them to those he might meet. When he came back, his father gave him two bright, new silver dollars. His face lit up as he took them. He had wished for a long time to buy some pretty books that he had seen at the bookstore. He left the house with a light heart, intending to buy the books. As he ran down the street, he saw a poor German family, the father, mother, and three children shiveringwith cold. "I wish you a happy New Year," said Edward, as he was happily passing on. The man shook his head. "You do not belong to this country," said Edward. The man again shook his head, for he could not understand or speak our language. But he pointed to his mouth, and to the children, as if to say, "These little ones have had nothing to eat for a long time." Edward quickly understood that these poor people were in distress. He took out his dollars, and gave one to the man, and the other to his wife. How their eyes sparkled with gratitude! They said something in their language, which doubtless meant, "We thank you a thousand times, and will remember you forever." When Edward came home, his father asked what books he had bought. He hung his head a moment, but quickly looked up.
13. "I have bought no books," said he, "I gave my money to some poor people, who seemed to be very hungry and wretched. "I think I can wait for my books till next New Year. Oh, if you had seen how glad they were to receive the money!" "My dear boy;" said his father, "here is a whole bundle of books. I give them to you, more as a reward for your goodness of heart than as a New-year gift. "I saw you give the money to the poor German family. It was no small sum for a little boy to give cheerfully. "Be thus ever ready to help the poor, and wretched, and distressed; and every year of your life will be to you a happy New Year."
