=** __<span style="font-family: 'Century Gothic',sans-serif;">Aim, analysis and own interpretations of the song __ **=

<span style="background-color: white; font-family: 'Century Gothic',sans-serif; font-size: 12pt; text-align: justify;"> Overall, the song is a clear way to show the singer’s passion towards her lover, as she sings about a man who she can __always call__, even facing grief and hard work, finally earning his love and respect. Beyoncé herself said, //<span style="background-color: white; font-family: 'Century Gothic',sans-serif; font-size: 12pt;">“When I played Etta James it was the most I'd learned about myself until the recording of this album. When I went into the studio I used the same **passion, honesty, and approach with my vocals** I channeled as Etta James. It does not sound like the vocals on my past albums. It's a lot rawer. It comes from a deep place. I realized that she was so unapologetic, bol // //<span style="background-color: white; font-family: 'Century Gothic',sans-serif; font-size: 12pt;">d and strong that playing her was a big risk for me. It gave me the **__confidence__** and the push to challenge myself a little more with my musi ////<span style="background-color: white; font-family: 'Century Gothic',sans-serif; font-size: 12pt;">c ”// <span style="background-color: white; font-family: 'Century Gothic',sans-serif; font-size: 12pt; text-align: justify;">The lyrics are pretty straight forward and she manages to find different ways to show and express her feelings. Despite the fact that she doesn’t mention it in this song, we can interpret that as she is now pregnant, she is happier than ever and has managed to compose this song from the deepest of her heart. Love on Top has been her most recent video, as just a couple of weeks ago, as we know, it was first launched in Australia, and Beyoncé refered to it on her personal twitter account. //<span style="font-family: 'Century Gothic',sans-serif; font-size: 12pt;">“I am excited to give my Australian fans the World Premiere of "Love On Top!" Thank you for the amazing response to the song at radio. I have worked very hard on this video, this song is special to me and I had an idea for the video based on some of my favorite male groups. I remember seeing videos from New Edition, The Jackson 5 and the Temptations, bands I love for their beautiful harmonies, and precise choreography and I always wanted to make a video and be part of a boy group myself. It was so much fun. I put my heart and soul into "Love On Top" and I hope you love it. “ //

** __<span style="font-family: 'Century Gothic',sans-serif; font-size: 110%;">Reasons for choice __ ** <span style="font-family: 'Century Gothic',sans-serif; font-size: 12pt; text-align: justify;">When I heard we had to choose a song, I struggled a bit with deciding which song to talk about as I am really into music and I am used to singing too. __I tend to prefer songs which I can dance to but if I can’t, I don’t prefer them as much.__ ** ?? Repeating yourself?? ** <span style="background-color: white; font-family: 'Century Gothic',sans-serif; font-size: 12pt;">__The week before__ I had been listening to Beyoncé’s songs each day and when I first saw the official music video to “Love On Top” I completely loved it. Every choice of word is perfect __and the repetition__ to emphasize each sentence. The dance moves are incredible and of her own, a complete different style to her just launched “Countdown”, as she had recently been criticised about stealing the Belgian choreographer Anne Teresa De Keersmaeker'smoves in her last video. Finally I had to decide between “Love on Top” or “Run the World (Girls)” as __they are two powerful songs with two opposite meanings but at the same time, meaningful.__ ** ?? Again, not very clear! **
