  4. I would like to do arts and entertainment. i think that in order to create one for this topic I need to find out what artists are coming out with albums and i need to listen to a few songs from each to come up with an opinion on them. that's if i was to do a best of. i could also do a human interst piece on one of my favorite artists which would call for me to find out facts about that person, for example: where they were born, where they grew up, how they found their love of music, what they would describe their sound as, what they hope to gain from going into the music buisness, their favorite and least favorite things about the music buisness, the best thing that has happend to them so far, how they got their record deal and stuff like that.
