Example Yesterday, I saw a Wang Fei concert in

the Capital Stadium. During the 3-hour concert, the atmosphere was extremely exciting although the stage design was disappointing. Many people in the crowd were obviously long-time fans and they sang along to nearly every song. We were greatly impressed by Wang Fei’s brilliant music and singing. She is really a superstar.

Construction of Stonehenge:

A process of blood, sweat, and tears

• 阿兰尼斯 · 莫利赛特 (Alanis Morissette) 是 90 年代美国乐坛最抢眼、走红最快的 一颗新星。 她凭借 95 年推出的专辑《 Jagged Little Pill 》 ( 破碎的小药丸）横扫全美的唱片店和校园，其热度只有玛当娜可比。此曲一举夺得第 38 届葛莱美 4 项大奖：年度最佳专辑，最佳摇滚专辑，最佳摇滚歌曲，最佳摇滚歌手。

这位出生于加拿大渥太华，年方二十一的女歌手的迅速崛起的确令人赞叹。 1991 年， 1992 年， 她曾在加拿大出版过两张专辑《 Alains 》 ( 阿拉尼斯）和《 Now Is The Time 》（现在是时候了），可是没有得到热烈的回应。于是 Alains来到了美国闯天下。她说 " 这样我就向成功迈出了第一步。当时我对自己并没有很大的信心，现在看来这似乎并没有必要 , 是音乐赋予我全部 , 即使如今让我做一名四处飘泊的流浪艺人，我也愿意。 "  来到美国洛杉矶之后不久就结识了曾为Michael Jackson 和 Wilson Phillips 制作过颇为成功的专辑的流行音乐制作人 Glen Ballard ，在他的帮助下，她完成了《 Jagged Little Pill 》这张专辑的录制。 a Morissette 的叙事体和声和 MTV 开创了女性摇滚的新时代，她的出现为处于低迷时期的美国流行乐坛注入了一股旺盛的生命力。
