Organic and synthetic
- 1. NEGUS’ THEORY OFORGANIC AND SYNTHETIC IDEOLOGY.
- 2. Ed sheeran –organic artist • Ed Sheeran is very natural in the way he presents himself. He dresses on stage the same way in which he would dress at home. He doesn’t try to be something that he’s not on stage. • He has success by himself as he can naturally sing and he doesn’t have to dress differently when he is on stage. • He isnt the best looking person but they don’t change what he looks like when he is at home to when he is on stage to make him better looking. • What you see is what you get.
- 3. Below is apicture of Ed Sheeran having a coffee and this proves that he looks the exact same on stage as he does everyday. Above is a photograph of Ed Sheeran on stage, with the same hairstyle and dress sense as he does everyday.
- 4. • Ed sheeransalbum (+) went to the top in the UK in the first week selling 102,000 copies. • In the USA for the billboards it went to number 5 selling 42,000 copies. • The album is the highest debut for a British artist's first studio album in the US since Susan Boyle's I Dreamed a Dream. • The reason he sold so much was because he is a naturally talented singer and people enjoy his music as he doesn’t use lots of computer editing and sound effects. • Ed sheeran also recorded an acoustic version of his album, this meant that people could hear him without any sound effects which showed us his talent.
- 5. • Ed Sheeranaims his music at the younger audience where as Negus thinks that they normally aim at older or more sophisticated consumers. • As he aims his music at teenagers and probably quite a lot of the older generation but not as much. Yet he does aim it at a more sophisticated consumers as you wouldn’t hear chavy teens listening to his album because its too smooth and slightly dull for their liking.

- 7. Lady Gaga –synthetic artist • Lady Gaga is an artist who completely changes from when she is on the stage to when she is at home. • She uses the stage name Lady Gaga instead of her real name which is Stefani Joanne Angelina Germanotta. • The reason she uses a stage name is because her agent will have told her to use this as she will get more attention having a slightly different name which makes her stand out.
- 8. • When sheis on stage she has been dressed by stylists, make up done my artists and her image will have been chosen by her record company. • She came about in 2005 and she like most synthetic artists were given a short time to prove their success before other combinations are tried out. • She has had many number one hits and is popular in the globally.
- 9. • She constantlycraves attention unlike these organic artists as her role of being Lady Gaga is being someone different. • She entered one of the award evening is a dress made completely out of meat. • The difference is is that if Lady Gaga walked somewhere as Lady Gaga she would be recognised where as is she walked in somewhere as Stephanie, no one would recognise her.
- 11. • Lady Gagaaims her music at people who listen to the charts which is normally the younger generation. • She isnt very sophisticated or a good role model and therefore that is why her music is aimed at the younger audiences. • In May 2012 she was thought to have made $52 million in a year. • She wont be an artist who will be around for a long time as she hasn’t got a wide enough audience. • She doesn’t compare to the natural organic artists such as Michael Jackson and take that who have been around for absolutely years.
