Hola de nuevo mis queridos arándanos, como sabéis he estado estos últimos dos años escribiendo en inglés por un proyecto de clase. No me importa continuar en ese idioma pero supongo que por comodidad en principio volveré a escribir en mi lengua natal.
A partir de ahora continuaré subiendo posts acerca de moda o estilo, pero también incluiré otros temas como mis dibujos, ilustraciones o cuadros, posts sobre arte y música e incluso algunas experiencias personales en relación a estos temas
¡Así que me complace daros de nuevo la bienvenida a mi blog!
Próximamente subiré las fotos de carnavales y podréis ver mi disfraz.
First of all, merry christmas and happy new year!! I’ve been all christmas time in my village and I had no internet, so that’s why I’m writting this so late.
As you should know, I’ve made a post about my favourite 5 styles from female singers. Now, I want to made another post about my favourite styles but instead of female, male singers. But with one difference: intead of 5, there will be a top 6.
There are a lot of male singers I like and admire, but some of them have also a special style that makes them special.
Number 6: Synister Gates
Synister Gates is the guitarist of the famous band Avenged Sevenfold. He has a very particular look. I like so much this little details that make a style unique, such as the hat or the blazer. And of course, look at his guitar. Is fantastic, isn’t it?
Here you have an Avenged Sevenfold song where you can see, not only Synister’s look, but also his colleagues’.
Number 5: Oliver Sykes
Singer of the band Bring Me The Horizon, Oliver Sykes has a quite curious look. I like his checkered shirts, his T-Shirts and his tatoos as well.
You may think that he’s quite similar to the previous singer, but it isn’t at all. You only have to look at the details.
A lot of people know this song. I like so much this videoclip, I don’t know why.
Number 4: Mika
It might seem strange for you but I like Mika. No. I love Mika. He’s the only pop singer that I like but this is because he make me feel happy and optimistic. I like his music since I was about 10 years old, when he released his first album Life In Cartoon Motion.
He’s so smart and colourful that I can only say: he’s happiness personified. I really love him and I love his style so so much!
This song is from the album No place in heaven.
Number 3: Miyavi
Miyavi is a japanese rock/metal singer and guitarist. He has one of the most wonderful and original look that I have ever seen. Japanese prints are mixed with urban garments to create this unique style. I would like you to research about this artist and his garments.
And he’s a magnificent guitar player. Check this out.
Number 2: Andy Biersack
I know that I’m a bit awkward but what’s my top 6 without Andy Biersack? There is another post where I talk about Andy’s style. Check it out if you want to know more about him. Being brief, his look is a mixture between glam and hardcore. I love him so much, as well as his band Black Veil Brides.
Here it is one of his songs as a solo singer.
Number 1: Matt Bellamy
Finally my number one. It cannot be other. Matt Bellamy is the singer, guitarist and pianist of the alternative rock band Muse. And of course, Muse is my favourite band in the whole world. He’s not a handsome guy, as you can see, but his style is fantastic. He’s also a nice and funny man. I really really love his suits.
Please, watch this video and you will discover the world of Muse and Matt’s looks. This videoclip is my favourite because it’s like me. Yes, if I were a videoclip, it will be this one.
Today I’m going to make a top 5 styles that I personally like about singers. Obviously this is subjective, as beauty is subjective too (some people haven’t already understood that fact).
You should know that I’m a bit freak (well…maybe more than a bit) and most people don’t agree with me, but I don’t care. So let’s begin.
I will focus exclusively on female singers, which most of them had (and still have) an influence on me.
Number 5: Brittney Hayes
Singer of Unleash the Archers, Brittney has a very simple style based on black basic garments. But that simplicity makes her cool and beautiful. This is not my favourite style but I consider it strong and powerful.
Here you can see an example.
Number 4: Dianne Van Giersbergen
Dianne is the singer of the symphonic metal band Xandria. Her dark goth style, along with her magnificent voice, make Dianne a spectacular woman. Honestly, I LOVE her voice!
I invite you to hear some of her works with Xandria.
Number 3: Hayley Williams
She’s the vocalist of Paramore. I really like her style because it’s the example of positivity and optimism. She’s happiness, and so am I. That’s why I like her.
Here I let you a video where you can see, as I consider, one of her best outfits.
Number 2: Avril Lavigne
Avril Lavigne is probably the artist who influenced me the most, stylistically speaking. I’ve been listening to her music since I was 10 and I have always loved her style. I didn’t realize this fact until now. I always wanted to dress like her, and I think my style is quite similar sometimes.
Let’s see one of her videoclips.
Number 1: Alissa White-Gluz
Alissa’s style is clearly my favourite. And for me, she’s the example of beauty. This might seam strage, but it’s true. She’s one of my muses.
Alissa was the previous singer of The Agonist and now she’s the current vocalist of the death metal band Arch Enemy. I let you here some of their videos, but if you don’t like metal, this could be a little bit hard for you.
Today I’m going to talk about something we’re familiar with, but actually we don’t know very well: emo style.
Emo is a musical genre which derives from hardcore punk and was born in the middle 80s. The word emo comes from emotive hardcore or emo-core and makes reference to bands whose lyrics talk about more introspective and personal topics than hardcore punk.
Nowadays, the word emo is used, apart from this music style, to make reference an urban tribe where people always wear dark clothes and they have feelings of suffering. Though this is a wrong concept, which has ended up associated with depressive people. But that is not the emo idea.
I was born in 1997 and when I was a young teenager I used to listen to some kind of emo music and I really like the style. I began to wear black clothes and at that age (I was about 12 or 13) my passion for black started! I really love this colour and I like this kind of emo/goth/alternative fashion style so much.
Right now, I’m taking a look back to these years and I’m discovering new music, new clothes and an evolution inside me is starting. I am not a total emo girl, of course. I consider myself an unlabeled person because I’m a mixture of different styles, which are a very important part of me.
Finally I want to show you some emo bands with very wonderful lyrics! I hope you’d like them!
The first of them is Tokio Hotel. I was a total fangirl of this group some years ago and I still love them (actually, I have two CDs and a DVD). This is their most famous song.
Another famous emo band is the well-known My Chemical Romance, which split up 3 years ago (a big pity). I love their music a lot!
Of course I cannot avoid talking about Black Veil Brides and their fantastic music!
But there are not only men in emo music. Of course, women are also there. One example is Paramore. This song is from the soundtrack of Twilight.
Another example is Fit For Rivals. This is not a very famous band but I like some of their songs.
I would like to ask you a question: have you ever analyze the clothes people are wearing in a videoclip? Of course if you like some kind of music and you see a video, you take notice of how your idols are dressed. Let’s do it together. I want you to pay attention not only to their garments, but to the influences of other musicians on their style.
We’re going to analyze a famous metalcore band: Black Veil Brides. But I will focus my attention on the well-known vocalist Andy Biersack.
Here is the videoclip.
The first thing that catchs our attention is the makeup. Andy Biersack’s makeup is pretty famous. His dark eyeshadow contrasts with his blue eyes, and the lines on his face remark his cheekbones. He’s also wearing red lipstick that contrasts with his pale face.
Then, let’s see his clothes. He’s wearing a T-shirt, a leather jacket and jeans, everything in black; a bullet belt, a little black scarf, black gloves and his always present prayer beads.
Is it OK for his videoclip? Of course it is. They’re a metalcore band and black is one of their identity symbols, not only for Black Veil Brides, but for the metal community in general.
His hair? His black emo hair reaffirms his style. For me, everything is on the same wavelength.
But what about his influences? Of course if we see Andy with his makeup we remmember a very important and famous band: KISS.
Andy’s makeup is not so excessive as KISS’s but it’s a bit similar.
There’s another big influence: Mötley Crue. Glam style influenced Andy Biersack a lot, as we can see.
But the most important issue that made an influence on him is Emo style.
That’s all. I hope you’d enjoy this post and this music. Bye!
