As you all know every artist is now trying to come out with dance music to appeal to the mainstream crowd. Most people think it is as phase and it will soon die down. Many artists have their main genre the came out with then they do a few pop/dance songs. For example Rihanna has a song named we Found Love it is a very up-tempo song with a lot of synthesizers in it as well. Rihanna main genre is R&B but all artists are doing what it takes to sell records and going mainstream. Another example is Chris Brown Turn Up the Music and Nicki Minaj “Starships”. Most people are saying that Nicki Minaj is a sell out and she should just stick with rapping. A couple of years ago reggae was the mainstream music that everybody was listening to and wanted to have in their mp3 players and radios. Only after about a year it died down and most artist were consider one hit wonders. What most artists are doing today is ver smart and its a skill you need to have in order to make money in the music industry as well as make a living and last in it. Today's artist have to make opportunity costs, which is the cost of an alternative that must be forgone in order to pursue a certain action. Basically, the benefits you could have received by taking an alternative action. The use their skills an make all type of genre music their original genre and do a little pop/dance just to get the crowd to buy their music.  Country is stated to be the most profitable genre in the music industry right now then Rock n Roll and after it would make sense to say Dance/pop. Dance and Pop is a genre that all crowds like no matter what the race is and it is something everyone can dance to. Pop is also well known and in demand around the world.

Compared to all the other blogs this one will gear more towards the fashion side of things. There is a huge craze going on with all the celebrities about a specific clothing line called Givenchy. They are a French based clothing line that has all departments covered when it comes to fashion such as jewelry, shoes, handbags, perfume, cologne and cosmetics. In today's fashion you will see almost every celebrity wearing this particular brand. Hubert De Givenchy is the creator of the Givenchy brand. He was born into wealth and had a great passion for fashion. In his past he has worked with some of the top designers of today such as Christian Dior Lucien Lelong and many more. In 1952 he opened the House of Givenchy. He gained popularity but helping Hollywood movie stars. In 1988 he sold his business to Moet Hennessey- Louis Vuitton due to finical reasons. There clothing style is very unique and different from all the others. In 1993 the company achieved a total sales worth of $176 million. Now you can only imagine what it is making today in sales. The spring/Summer collection just dropped and all the fashionable celebrities are all over it. The Givenchy Birds of Paradise Gabardine Blazer is one of the new clothing from this season’s line has a price tag of $4,350. Most of the hip-hop rappers and singers are seen wearing the clothes. The material looks so simple but yet unique at the same time. The question of the day is why do they set the prices so high with crew neck t-shirts running for $785? The next question is will Givenchy stay popular or is their time almost over with? One would think if they made the prices more reasonable and the availability better the company’s income form sales revenue would sky rocket.
