Who is the greatest singer? Give reasons why


I'm a huge music fan, I love listening to music, and I like a lot of different genres, like blues, jazz, rock, metal, even some pop, like Toto. It's because of this, that it's difficult for me to say "This is the greatest singer ever" since I like a lot of them, and there are a lot of good singers in the world, like Elvis Presley, Frank Sinatra, Brad Gelp, Steven Tyler, Robert Plant, Louis Armstrong, etc. So, I'm going to write about Ronnie James Dio, who, in my opinion, is one of the greatest singers, not just in metal, but in music.
He was the singer of a lot of bands, like Elf, Rainbow, Black Sabbath, Dio, and Heaven and Hell. He had a strong, consistent voice, that could hit high notes, and also low notes. He could sing heavy, dark songs, but he also could sing slow, soft ballads. He also popularized the famous maloik, or Devil Horns hand gesture. I think that one of the most important facts about why I like him so much as a singer, is the stability of his singing voice throughout his career, that spanned four decades. I mean, he could sing as good in 2010 as he did in 1985, and that it's also impressive, because he started singing professionally in the late 50s, although he gain recognition in the mid-70s. His voice was a huge influence in heavy metal singers, and his albums in the different bands he was part of, are considered classics in heavy metal, such as Rainbow's Ritchie Blackmore's Rainbow, Rising, and Long Live Rock 'n Roll; Black Sabbath's Heaven And Hell, Mob Rules and Dehumanizer; Dio's Holy Diver, The Last In Line, Dream Evil, Magica, and Killing The Dragon (Although he had more albums that are also pretty good); and finally, his last project before his death, Heaven And Hell, a band consisting in the Heaven And Hell-line up of Black Sabbath, there for the name, that only released one album, The Devil You Know, that has the power of all the others albums, even they were over 60 years old.
Dio died of a stomach cancer on May 16, 2010.

RIP
RONNIE JAMES DIO

Why is it important to become a good person?

It's important to become a good person, because we have to know how to treat people well, so we can have good relationships with everyone else, because, usually, people don't like to mix with bad people, since they don't treat them well, they hurt them, and they don't care about them. Ever since I can remember, everyone had teach me a lot of things, so I would become a good person. People like my family, teachers, TV (It actually does) and even friends. All these people have influenced me to become a good person, and I'm sure every single person has been educated the same way, although some people, for different reasons, become bad people.
There are a lot of bad people in the world, and no one can deny that. These are the people that kill other people, rob them, are bad influences, and even the people who lie to make people look bad, like saying a person did something bad, when in fact the person never did.
If we have a friend that is acting like a bad person, we have to help him, so he can become in a good person, because if he doesn't, as previously stated, he can hurt the people around him. And if our efforts are useless, we'll have to stay away from him, as he might become a bad influence for yourself.

The Fire Alarm

II.
1. Jennifer
2. She's slow.
3. School at Night.
4. Her ear got damaged.
5. The fire alarm went off.
6. Then the night supervisor came by.
7. The officer finally turned off the alarm.
8. Go to check her ear by a doctor.

III. If I were Jennifer I would have ran away as soon as I heard the fire alarm, although I still would liked to see the fire, but I still would get out as soon as I could from there, and I wouldn't just stay in a room with other people waiting for them to pack their hair-care equipment, I won't asfixiate just because of some stuff. Don't they know something called "self-preservation"? Anyway, I would tell them to get out, even if they must left their hair-care stuff. And if I got my ear damaged anyway, I would go to a hospital.

What historical figure do you most identify with? Why?

Actually, I don't identify with any historical figure of my knowledge at all. O'Higgins? No. Carrera? Neither. Napoleon? No way. But I won't start talking (I mean writing) about the little I know about politics. But if you also consider historical figures from the last century, like Martin Luther King, I would say that it's the same, of course, it depends of the area , for example religion, or politics, but considering music, I identify most with Jeff Beck, because he plays different kinds of music, and he likes perfection when he plays. But if you meant an historical figure, I am sorry but I can't give you the answer you wanted.

9.05.2010

From which person have I learned most in my life?

There are lots of people from which I have learned things, like my friends and relatives, but the person I most learned from is my grandfather, because he has lived nearly 70 years, and he have a lot of experience. He often help me with manual homeworks, he teach me how to do them, and the things that I need for doing them. He buy the stuffs that I need for school, he fix my things, he taught me how to swim and dive, how to behave properly, he taught me lots of sports and physical excersices, and even more things. I think that I couldn't know all the things I know without him.

Why is renewable energy an important topic today?

Renewable energy is a really important topic in these days, because now, we use too much electric energy, and the sources of energy are not renewable, so they are starting to run out. We need renewable energy, because there are more and more things that are electric, and need more electricity, and we use it without thinking about the consecuences. But renewable energy doesn't run out, but we still have to use less energy, because if we abuse of this energy, even if it doesn't runs out, it's not infinite. So we need to get a source of renewable energy, like wind, or the sun, that won't runt out.

Rainbow In The Dark by Dio (R.I.P.)



When there's lightning - it always bring me down
Cause it's free and I see that it's me
Who's lost and never found
I cry for magic - I feel it dancing in the light
But it was cold - I lost my hold
To the shadows of the night

There's no sign of the morning coming
You've been left on your own
Like a Rainbow in the Dark

Do your demons - do they ever let you go
When you've tried - do they hide -deep inside
Is it someone that you know
You're a picture - just an image caught in time
We're a lie - you and I
We're words without a rhyme

There's no sign of the morning coming
You've been left on your own
Like a Rainbow in the Dark

When there's lightning - it always brings me down
Cause it's free and I see that it's me
Who's lost and never found
Feel the magic -feel it dancing in the air
But it's fear - and you'll hear
It calling you beware

There's no sign of the morning coming
There's no sight of the day
You've been left on your own
Like a Rainbow in the Dark

Kashmir by Led Zeppelin



Oh let the sun beat down upon my face, stars to fill my dream
I am a traveler of both time and space, to be where I have been
To sit with elders of the gentle race, this world has seldom seen
They talk of days for which they sit and wait and all will be revealed

Talk and song from tongues of lilting grace, whose sounds caress my ear
But not a word I heard could I relate, the story was quite clear
Oh, oh.

Oh, I been flying... mama, there ain't no denyin'
I've been flying, ain't no denyin', no denyin'

All I see turns to brown, as the sun burns the ground
And my eyes fill with sand, as I scan this wasted land
Trying to find, trying to find where I've been.

Oh, pilot of the storm who leaves no trace, like thoughts inside a dream
Heed the path that led me to that place, yellow desert stream
My Shangri-La beneath the summer moon, I will return again
Sure as the dust that floats high in June, when movin' through Kashmir.

Oh, father of the four winds, fill my sails, across the sea of years
With no provision but an open face, along the straits of fear
Ohh.

When I'm on, when I'm on my way, yeah
When I see, when I see the way, you stay-yeah

Ooh, yeah-yeah, ooh, yeah-yeah, when I'm down...
Ooh, yeah-yeah, ooh, yeah-yeah, well I'm down, so down
Ooh, my baby, oooh, my baby, let me take you there

Let me take you there. Let me take you there

Seventh Son of a Seventh Son by Iron Maiden



Here they stand, brothers them all
All the sons, divided they’d fall
Here await the birth of the son
The seventh, the heavenly, the chosen one

Here the birth from an unbroken line
Born the healer, the seventh, his time
Unknowingly blessed and as his life unfolds
Slowly unveiling the power he holds

Seventh son of a seventh son
Seventh son of a seventh son
Seventh son of a seventh son
Seventh son of a seventh son

Then they watch the progress he makes
The Good and Evil which path will he take
Both of them trying to manipulate
The use of his powers, before it’s too late

Seventh son of a seventh son
Seventh son of a seventh son
Seventh son of a seventh son
Seventh son of a seventh son

Today is born the seventh one
Born of woman the seventh son
And he in turn of a seventh son
He has the power to heal
He has the gift of the second sight
He is the chosen one
So it shall be written
So it shall be done

Still Loving You by Scorpions



Time, it needs time
To win back your love again.
I will be there, I will be there.

Love, only love
Can bring back your love someday.
I will be there, I will be there.

Fight, babe, I'll fight
To win back your love again.
I will be there, I will be there.

Love, only love
Can break down the walls someday.
I will be there, I will be there.

If we'd go again
All the way from the start,
I would try to change
The things that killed our love.

Your pride has build a wall, so strong
That I can't get through.
Is there really no chance
To start once again?
I'm loving you.

Try, baby try
To trust in my love again.
I will be there, I will be there.

Love, your love
Just shouldn't be thrown away.
I will be there, I will be there.

If we'd go again
All the way from the start,
I would try to change
The things that killed our love.

Your pride has build a wall, so strong
That I can't get through.
Is there really no chance
To start once again?

If we'd go again
All the way from the start,
I would try to change
The things that killed our love.

Yes I've hurt your pride, and I know
What you've been through.
You should give me a chance
This can't be the end.

I'm still loving you.
I'm still loving you,
I need your love.
I'm still loving you.
Still loving you, baby...

The Mob Rules by Black Sabbath


Close the city and tell the people that something's coming to call
Death and darkness are rushing forward to take a bite from the wall, oh

You've nothing to say
They're breaking away
If you listen to fools...
The Mob Rules
The Mob Rules

Kill the spirit and you'll be blinded, the end is always the same
Play with fire, you burn your fingers and lose your hold of the flame, oh

It's over, it's done
the end is begun
If you listen to fools...
The Mob Rules

You've nothing to say
Oh, They're breaking away
If you listen to fools...

Break the circle and stop the movement, the wheel is thrown to the ground
Just remember it might start rolling and take you right back around

You're all fools!
The Mob Rules!

Tom Sawyer by Rush


A modern-day warrior
Mean mean stride
Today's Tom Sawyer
Mean mean pride

Though his mind is not for rent
Don't put him down as arrogant
His reserve, a quiet defense
Riding out the day's events
The river

What you say about his company
Is what you say about society
Catch the mist, catch the myth
Catch the mystery, catch the drift

The world is, the world is
Love and life are deep
Maybe as his skies are wide

Today's Tom Sawyer
He gets high on you
And the space he invades
He gets by on you

No his mind is not for rent
To any God or government
Always hopeful, yet discontent
He knows changes aren't permanent
But change is

And what you say about his company
Is what you say about society
Catch the witness, catch the wit
Catch the spirit, catch the spit

The world is, the world is
Love and life are deep
Maybe as his eyes are wide

Exit the warrior
Today's Tom Tawyer
He gets high on you
And the energy you trade
He gets right on to the friction of the day

Hangar 18 by Megadeth



Welcome to our fortress tall
take some time to show you around
impossible to break these walls
for you see the steel is much too strong
computer banks to rule the world
instruments to sight the stars

Possibly i've seen to much
hangar 18 i know too much

Foreign life forms inventory
suspended state of cryogenics
selective amnesia's the story
believed foretold but who'd suspect
the military intelligence
two words combined that can't make sense

Possibly i've seen to much
hangar 18 i know too much

Why is Alberto Hurtado so important in Chile?

Luis Alberto Hurtado Cruchaga, was borned in Viña del Mar, Chile, on January 22 of 1901, but he is known as Padre Hurtado. He joined to the Company of Jesus in 1923, and became a priest in 1933. He helped young and poor people to get close to the church. But his help and defense to the poor people and workers make that the wealthiest and conservatives places of society and church to label him as a communist priest. But then he founded the "Hogar de Cristo", an institution that collect money for beneficence, and receive needish people. He did two miracles, and the Pope Benedict VI declared him as a Saint in 2005.

Extreme Sports

I think extreme sports are really awesome, because they can disconect you from everything else, and all the stress of the city and the work.

But it's really important to use security, because you can get really hurt, or even die. They also can be really scary because of that, and there are lots of other risks, but besides all those risks, I still would like to do one of them, because I think they are really cool and very exciting.

Do you like piercings? Why?

Well, I like how piercings look, but I don't like when there are too much of them. I mean, one or two in the face would be fine, but fill your entire body with piercings? Even if there are people who like that, I think it looks bad. Besides, I don't like the fact of piercing my body. They stuck a needle somewhere in your body, and even if that doesn't hurts, the place you pierced can inflame, and it can become infected. So, I can say that I like the way piercings look, but only if there are one or two, but I won't have one.
