Let's jive: What the youth love nowadays.

(To improve their communication skills and knowledge base, members of E-Plus clubs in colleges have been given the following topic for discussion and debate)

Week 4 (November 16 to 21 )

Theme: It is difficult to find a person who does not love music. Irrespective of whether you perform before a spellbound audience or within the four walls of your bathroom, music enthralls us all. So let's turn our attention to the magical world of tunes, lyrics and performances.

Debate: Music is behind the success of a song; lyrics are not so important.

Goodbye songs?: What is your opinion on the songs we hear in movies? Do you think they help the story always or are unnecessary most of the time? Can we do away with songs in movies?

A musical tale : Find out more about a musician and how he/she became famous. Come forward and talk about the musician of your choice for about five minutes.

Battle of tunes : Form two groups. One group has to speak in favour of music from the 80s and 90s and the other has to support contemporary music. Let's see whether yesterday's music can still compete with the new generation.

Standing out : Each of you choose a music director/performer/band. You can choose from any language/country. Now tell us what is special about the music of the artiste you have chosen. You can talk about the distinctive features of his/her music, lyrics, performing style etc.

Visual matters : What is your opinion on music video? Is it a ploy to divert listeners' minds from poor music or does it enhance the appeal of a song? Let us know.
