Extension on RnB

RnB is perhaps at the moment very popular alongside other genres such as pop and dance, which aslo have many characteristics of RnB.

R&B which stands for rhythm and blues is a genre of popular African American music that originiated in the early 1040's.
R&B was used to replace the term 'race music' which originally came about from within the black community and was seen as ofensive in the postwar world.

R&B is now not only performed by black people but also Asian people (Jay Sean) and White people (JoJo).

So anybody can now perform R&B. A few examples of this are:
*Jay Sean- All Or Nothing
*JoJo- Baby it's you
*Whitney Houston- I will always love you etc...

Our Group has chosen to use R&B as it is very popular in modern society also we are aware that it is popular amongst our school society. Therefore our music video will hopefully get a good review from our peers, as we have planned and asked what teens want to see in a music video and what they expect from R&B.
