2 Nivel Básico EOI Alcalá de Guadaíra

Hi there,

here's a nice little video where you can watch and listen to our Spanish representative for the next Eurovision contest in Moscow, Soraya, speaking in English in an interview. Among other things, she talks about the start of her singing career in the Spanish Pop Idol TV reality show and her former job as a flight attendant. She adds information about her origin in Extremadura and her prospects for the future. She's beautiful and she speaks English very well! Bet she can sing very well too!

Which one do you prefer?

This band is Radiohead

And this gentleman here playing the trumpet is Miles Davis

Write a short comment about which one you prefer and why, or in case you don't like either, comment about the artist or the type of music that you prefer.

'Fifty Years of Poop'....oops, I mean 'Fifty Years of Pop'

Student's book, Page 20.

Speaking (Exercise 1): Students discussed some questions about their tastes in music, like "What music/song/album do you like listening to when you're happy/sad/in a car/studying ..."

And here are the lyrics for you to sing along...

It's close To Midnight and Something Evil's Lurking in The Dark.
Under The Moonlight, You See A Sight That Almost Stops Your Heart.
You Try To Scream, But Terror Takes The Sound Before You Make It.
You Start To Freeze, As Horror Looks You Right Between The Eyes,
You're Paralyzed

You Hear The Door Slam, And Realize There's Nowhere Left To Run.
You Feel The Cold Hold, And Wonder If You'll Ever See The Sun
You Close Your Eyes, And Hope That This Is Just Imagination, girl
But All The While, You Hear The Creature Creepin' Up Behind
You're Out Of Time

They're Out to Get You, There's Demons Closing In On Every Side.
They Will Possess You, Unless You Change The Number On Your Dial.
Now Is the Time for You and I to Cuddle Close Together dear.
All Thru The Night, I'll Save You From The Terror On The Screen,
I'll Make You See

Darkness Falls Across The Land, The Midnight Hour Is Close At Hand.
Creatures Crawl In Search Of Blood To Terrorize Yours Neighborhood
And Whosoever Shall Be Found Without The Soul For Getting Down
Must Stand And Face The Hounds Of Hell, And Rot Inside A Corpse's Shell.

The Foulest Stench Is In The Air The Funk Of Forty Thousand Years
And Grizzly Ghouls From Every Tomb Are Closing In To Seal Your Doom
And Though You Fight To Stay Alive Your Body Starts To Shiver
For No Mere Mortal Can Resist The Evil Of The Thriller

'Cause this Is Thriller, Diller Night
and No-ones Gonna Save You from the Beast about Strike.
You Know its Thriller, chiller Night
You're fighting for Your Life inside a Killer, Thriller.

Thriller, Diller Night
'Cause I can thrill you More Than Any Ghoul Could ever dare try. (Thriller, Diller Night)
So Let Me Hold You Tight And Share A Killer Diller Chiller,
Thriller Here Tonight.

'Cause this Is Thriller Diller night
girl I Can Thrill You More Than Any Ghoul Could ever dare try
Any Ghoul could ever Dare Try
(Thriller, Diller Night) So Let Me Hold You Tight and Share a Killer thriller.
