Discussing other areas with my theme (follow up post)

This is just a follow on from the last COP post, it is kind of an outline of what i could cover with the other aspects within my theme. These are:

  • Covering the impact of certain female musicians as well as male. (are there any significant events with female musicians through television?) 
  • Covering the aspect of contemporary musicians not just focusing on past eras/events (are there any significant events in contemporary music?) i believe so, would just need to research and find them. 

This following list may seem like its just another list but these are the topics/questions that i now have as a result of the session discussion, they are not definitive but they do pose good and interesting arguments/areas in which to research: 


  • What are the arguments of music today and are there any? 
  • Researching the 'complexification of the musical landscape' 
  • Is controversy within the music industry determined by success? 
  • Does the controversy and the success in music create debate? - i think this one speaks for itself 
  • Do these factors of controversy and debate have the same impact today as they did in the past eras? 
  • Research the impact of 'Androgyny' in music video and television

In my next posts i will cover these areas in more detail but in particular i will involve the female musicians into my research. I don't have many to go on at the moment but i have a few names in mind and it will be interesting what impact they might have had as far as my research goes. These few names i have found i might find out to be pretty irrelevant but i suppose my research will determine that from what i find out. 


  • Madonna  
  • Patty Smith 
  • Kim Wilde 
  • Björk (thats literally a random one that came to mind) 
  • Rihanna 
  • Miley Cyrus 
  • Beyoncé 

Like i said i'm not well armed in the sense of having female musicians to talk about however there is a wider range in terms of eras that i can look at but i believe i'm more interested in the idea of the breakthrough artist in terms of really starting something in the way that David Bowie did for the generation that he emerged in. Got a lot to be cracking on with basically!
