Use of language in Music Press
Pop princess Rihanna sells albums for her sultry, attention-grabbing poses. But during
a visit to the United Arab Emirates, her poses got her into hot water.
While in town for a concert, the singer visited the courtyard of the Sheikh Zayed Grand
Mosque Center. The landmark mosque said it asked her to leave after she posed for
photos inappropriately on its grounds.
A covered up Rihanna was decked out in a dark outfit, complete with what looked like
the head gear worn by Muslim women. She posed in bright red lipstick and posted the
pictures on her Instagram account.
In one photo, she’s lying on her back. She captioned it “no tan lines.”
In another shot, her arms are akimbo as she glances over her shoulder.
“She was asked to leave before entering the actual mosque, (she was in the courtyard
taking pictures) after taking some photos that did not fit within the rules and
regulations set out to preserve the sacredness of the center,” the mosque said in a
statement.
The singer did not immediately respond to the controversy about her photos. She was
in town for a concert Saturday night.
•

The observations that I can make from this article is that the language used is very
formal. It hasn’t used any slang terms; however, it doesn’t use big complicated
words that are hard to understand. This article is very factual and uses a lot of
adjectives and adverbs.

•

I think that this is very suitable for that target audience as they are old enough to
understand what is being said in the magazine.

•

The mode of address I will adopt for my magazine will be formal, but will have
some aspects of slang, adjectives and adverbs, puns facts and opinions to make
the article interesting to read and keep the audiences attention.
