Research different types of Pop bands and artists

The Black Eye Peas

The Black Eye Peas is an American hip hop, R'n'B and Pop group which consisting of rappers Will.i.am , apl.de.ap, Taboo and singer Fergie. The group was founded in Los Angeles in 1995 but it was not till they released their third album Elephunk that they become famous and since then the group have sold about 76 million records 35 million albums and 41 singles which make them one of the best selling groups of all time. The first major hit for the group was 'Where is the Love' which is the song I will be doing my music cover video on and this hit topped the charts in 13 countries including the UK. 

This research will help me in my Final Major Project because I am doing on of the songs from Black Eye Peas so I will know more about the background of this group and it will help me because knowing the song I am doing the music cover video on is very popular and that means mine might be very popular. 

Whitney Houston

Whitney Elizabeth Houston was born on August 9, 1963 and died February 11, 2012 and was an American singer actress, producer and model. Whitney is one of the most pop music best selling music artist of all time with an estimated 170-200 million records sold worldwide. She has released six studio albums, one holiday album and three movie soundtrack albums, all of which have diamond, multi-platinum, platinum or gold certification. Whitney's crossover appeal on the popular music charts, as well as her prominence on MTV, starting with her video for "How Will I Know" influenced several African American women artists who follow in her footsteps.

This research will help me with my FMP because I am doing one of Whitney Houston for my music video which will be an animations, so it will help with some background reasearch about the artist.
