2. Is there any of them you would listen to more of? There were some songs I like and some are okay for me. Some of these songs I'm familiar with, so I listen to them more but some I just discovered from this activity and surprisingly, I did like some of them. I'm mostly interested with Louis Armstrong because of his song "La Vie En Rose" and John Denver's "Leaving on a Jet Plane", because I've heard covers of these songs but never really listened to the original song.
3. Find a favourite song from one of the artists.
I do have favourites within the songs I put down. It was really difficult for me to choose which beautiful song to pick but I've made up my mind. La Vie En Rose by Louis Armsrong is my top 1 in the list because it's just a wonderful song, it's relaxing and really changes your mood in a good way.
