The singer that has my interest is Darius Rucker. He is an amazing country singer with quite some talent. There are many emotions in his songs; most of them are about girls, life, and just having a good time. One of my favorite songs by Darius Rucker in his album Learn to Live “Don’t think about it”, the song describes life. A phrase that I like from that song is “ When we make choices, we gotta live with them ,Heard you found a real good man and you married him, I wonder if sometimes I cross your mind,Where would we be today ,If I never drove that car away?” In that phrase he is talking about his life, how he had a wife and then left and is thinking how it could’ve been if he didn’t leave that day. Many other county singers have the same sound of music, but personally I think Darius Rucker has a really great natural voice. A memorable lyric from a song of Darius Rucker is a song called “Alright” I got shoes under my feet,Forever in the eyes staring back at me,And it's alright, alright.” It just means to me that everything is alright when your just living life. “Hootie and the Blowfish frontman Darius Rucker visited the Rolling Stone office recently to perform a few songs and discuss his gradual transformation into a full-on country artist”, said the rolling stones website. Darius Rucker has come from a band to a single singer and has made many accomplishments. In an article from billboard.com they say that Darius Rucker has become one of the best country singers. With a great all natural voice, he has many fans. Over all I would have to say that he is a very talented man that deserves to be well known worldwide. I chose Darius Rucker and have learned a lot about him through reviews.

My response to Mr. Mike is, that I don’t think Darius Rucker is not all that great. In my opinion he is horrible. Most of his songs are not about having a fun life or girls, they are about being a player and drinking lots of beer. I heard that he don’t even write his own music, that he pays people to write them for him! His song “don’t think about it” is just depressing. If I wanted to listen to someone’s sob story I would go on face book. The same goes with the rest of his music. Its just depressing! Especially his song “alright”, is definitely not alright. He totally contradicts all his music. One song is about how his “gal” leaves him, now he’s saying he has a pretty girl in his bed. Everybody knows he is a very well off person financially. He is a very well known country singer ill give him that, with that being said I think he will be alright, all the time. I really don’t need to hear how much better his life is then mine, even though his previous songs say his life sucks. I think he needs to be one way or the other, because he is making a bipolar music album. Mike also said that he has a natural voice, I have seen some of his live performances on you tube, and I am not all that impressed. His voice sounds like every other country singer trying to sing while getting punched in the neck. If I had the computer software I could make Karl from Sling Blade sound like Justin Beiber. In all honesty, I would not spend a dime on his music, or even throw one at him when he’s sitting on the sidewalk begging for change, when people realize that he is not all that great like I do. I’m sure he is a great guy, but a country singer? I think not..
