Both singers got their point across but i beleive that they took different paths in completing that one goal. For example, Stevie Wonder took the direct approach and took it straight to the point. While Jay-Z put in detail what hes rapping about and he gave details on that subject, therefore I think that Jay-Z is the better artist that brings out the message on the subject.

Both Stevie Wonder and Jay-Z expresses they're feeling to they're daughters in their songs Isin't she lovely(Stevie Wonder) and Glory(Jay-Z). Although in my opinion I feel as if Stevie Wonder did a better job at delivering to listeners how he truly feels about his daughter. "Isn't she pretty Truly the angel's best Boy, I'm so happy We have been heaven blessed" really shows that his daughter means so much to him and that he sees her as a blessed child from heaven.

ReplyDeleteIn my opinion both Stevie Wonder and Jay-z express their love for their daughter's but Jay-z shows the most because he not only shows he loves his daughter blueivy but he shows why and what he been through to love her and for her to be his and Beyone's daughter
I find that Stevie wonders work is much more efficent in telling the main feeling through his song about his daughter in his song "isnt' she lovely".
ReplyDeleteThrough this he shows how much he loves his daugther an how lucky he is to be her father such as in "truly the angel's best boy. im so happy we have been heaven blessed i can't believe what god has done", through this he expresses how much his daugther means to him that he believed he's been blessed.
Stevie and Jay-z got their point across but i beleive they took different paths in completing that one goal. Stevie Wonder took it straight to the point. While Jay-Z put in detail what hes rapping about and he was refuring to his daughter therefore I think that stevie wonder is the best because he talks more in detail about how he feels about his daughter.

I think that Stevie Wonder is better because , I find it nice that even though he is blind and is not able to see how his daughter look's he still know's that his daughter is beautiful. I like Stevie Wonder song because of how he described his thoughts about his daughter Aisha. I Think Jay-Z did a good job too explaning how she was the greatest thing that happen to him , and gave alot of details explaing how his love is for his daughter .

ReplyDeleteI like that both singers/rappers feel the same way about their children. They both made it respectfully and delightful to listen to the lyrics in a respectful manor. In my opinion , i believe that Stevie Wonder did a better job to this song because He feels the beauty his daughter aiesha has even though he cant see , his other senses help him. Although , Jay-Z lyrics were a little deeper i just didnt feel the best vibe for him.

ReplyDeleteTo me in my opinion, i feel both artist got their points across,but one was more effective than the other. i feel that it was Jay-z who was more clear and descriptive when it came to showing his love.

ReplyDeleteBoth of these artist expressed their loved for their daughter's. They both have the same love for their daughter as should everyfather. But in my opinion Stevie Wonders song "Isnt She Lovely" won me over for serval reasons. Jay-Z's Song for his daughter was good but he didnt get straight to the point. He included the struggles along that he went through to have his daughter. He talked about the lost of his dad and the first miscarriage he went through. Stevie's song got me straight on the point. He directed his song straight to his daughter. He wanted other people to know how much love and how thankful, he is to have a great godly blessed child.

ReplyDeleteStevie Wonder's song, "Isn't She Lovely" and Jay-Z'S "Glory", both have a controlling idea about their new born daughters. Stevie's song, "Isn't She Lovely", is based off Stevie's feelings after his daughter's birth. A section from his song that proves this would be, "Isn't she lovely Life and love are the same Life is Aisha The meaning of her name Londie".In Jay-Z'S "Glory", he speaks a story before his daughter's birth, what was on his mind during, and his feelings after birth. A section from his song that proves that would be,
"False alarms and false starts All made better by the sound of your heart All the pain of the last time I prayed so hard it was the last time Your mama said you danced for her Did you wiggle your hands for her?". Both artists got their point across but they took different voice methods expressing their feelings on their daughter's birth. But Jay-Z to me has a more interesting song because his lyrics puts me in his shoes, like there's a story playing in my mind, as Stevie just gives me a feeling and a piano solo piece.

ReplyDelete"Isn't She Lovey" by Stevie Wonder is better because it explains more about the way he feels about his daughter.His song is more like a poem because it expalins alot about his emotions towards his daughter.I find his song more interesting because Stevie Wonder is blind and the way he explain his daughter is so vivid.
I belive that all the artist did good on this song for two reasson.One reasson they did good on this song was because it made top 20 out of the top hundred songs,the other reasson I belive it was so good is because many people loved it when it first came out.My oppinion on this song is a 7out of ten.One thing i did not know about this song was that it was a song made by Steve Wonder.it drawn me to the song because Steve Wonder was also a good lyrics and a legend in the music history.
ReplyDeleteFrom my perspective, i think Jay-Z expressed how he feels about his daughter more than Stevie Wonder. As his first child he explains to her that she's very lucky because his wife once had a mis-carraige before.
ReplyDeleteHe also said "My Greatest Creation Was You !) Stating to his daughter, she is the best thing he could have ever made.

ReplyDeletestevie wonder song isnt she lovley and jay z song glory both talk about their daughter. i think jay z song is better because he tells you more about his daughter and puts her name and lets you know who he is raping about. stevie wonder does not he just says isnt she lovely and does not let you know who he is talking about. jay z made it clear to the world what his song was about which is blue ivy and i think he did a good job in the song. stevie wonder was not clear to the world about who he was singing about he mostley said isnt she and isnt she can be anyone that is why i think jay z did better in making a song for his daughter.

ReplyDeleteStevie Wonder's "Isn't She Lovely" & Jay-z "Glory" are songs made by these artist to express their feelings towards having a daughter. Stevie Wonder explains how lovely it was to have a daughter "I never thought through love we'd be Making one as lovely as she But isn't she lovely made from love". "Boy, I'm so happy We have been heaven blessed I can't believe what God has done" he ahppy how blessed he is to have a lovely daughter. Jay-z's "Glory" talks about how the experience was to have a daughter. he was lost of words thats he can even explain it & feels that his daughter is his greatest creation "The most amazing feeling I feel Words can't describe what I'm feeling for real Maybe I paint the sky blue My greatest creation was you You, Glory". i prefer to listen to Jay-z's "Glory" because that is my favorite rap artists & this is one of his most meaningful records.

ReplyDeleteThe Song "Glory" by Jay-z Was Cause Jay-zWas describing to his Daughter what he will provide for her and what he gonna do for her. In the song Jay-Z Stated How She was younger faster version of him. The reason i also believe that he Did great on this song cause he was letting every one know what was going on with the first couple of tries and He made up for better times with making BLue Ivy Carty

ReplyDeleteBOTH JAY-Z AND STEVIE WONDER BOTH SHOWED THAT THEY LOVE THEIR DAUGHTERS VERY MUCH.STEVIE WONDER EXPRESSED HIS FEELINGS FOR HIS DAUGHTER IN MORE OF A CLASSICAL WAY.WHILE JAY-Z NOT ONLY DID HE GIVE MORE DETAILS TO WHY AND HOW MUCH HE LOVES HIS DAUGHTER BUT HE DID IT IN A NEW STYLE.

ReplyDeleteBoth account of songs shows there love and appreciation towards there two daughters. As for Stevie Wonders, Isn't She Lovely, he describes and shows more compassion and feeling towards his daughter and gets to the point. In Jay-Z's, Glory, he talks about his life more of his daughter. The song that Stevie Wonder wrote was more of a better song if the subject was to be on his daughter. This song also had more attention and meaning then Jay's song. Even though both songs talked about their daughter Stevie Wonder added more detail and way more meaning to his Jay-Z's song. I would prefer Stevie Wonder's Isn't She Lovely, over Jay-Z's, Glory.
Jay-Z'S "Glory, in my opinion, was more effective in his lyrics. he explains how he is thankful for his childs life in result of his failed first attempt (Miscarriage). He describes the "Glory" of being a father.

ReplyDeleteIn my opinion i think both artists are very effective in bringing out the controlling idea of how they love there daughters very much. But i believe that Stevie Wonder did a better job in expressing himself because of his choice of words and i found it really interesting how Stevie mentioned how blessed he is with this daughter, and for someone to speak this way and express them-self even with his condition means a lot to me and so thats why i think that he expressed himself better than Jay-Z although i believe both artists are great and Jay-Z did a fantastic job but overall Stevie caught my interest more and so i pick him as the better artist.
The songs "glory" by jay-z and "isn't she lovely" by Stevie Wonders are songs about one of their greatest creation which is their daughters.in the song "glory" his lyrics are clean and he states his daughter name and he talks about her before birth and also whats on his mind. in "isn't she lovely" Stevie wonder also mentions his daughter name. he also says that god gave them one of the most beautiful things in life. in my opinion i think Stevie wonder had more to say about his daughter than jay-z did to his
ReplyDelete“Glory” was intended to commemorate the moment of Blue Ivy’s birth as well as to Stevie Wonder’s “Isn’t She Lovely”, a song he wrote for his child.i believe both singer we'rent trying to sound the same ,yet they made songs to express how much love they have for there daughters .

ReplyDeletestevie wonder song " isn't she lovel" is a strong song . In it he celebrates the birth of his daughter, Aisha. There are three verses, each ending with the phrase "isn't she lovely, made from love" The recording opens with the audio of a baby being born, an outro featuring samples of Aisha playing with Wonder.and to me i think that it so good for someone to make a song about their family especially about their birthday which i know she must of felt special just for the fact that its on her birthday . In the song " Glory " by jay-z is about the experience and the happiness of becoming a father for the first time. It also details the heartbreak the couple suffered over a previous miscarriage. The song opens with Blue's first heartbeat, and includes a sample of Blue's cries towards the end.
Both stevey wonders and Jay-Z expressed the're feelings for their daughter in there song "Isnt She Lovely" by stevey wonders and "Glory" by Jay-Z.I think that jay-z's song had more meaning to it that stevy wonders song.Stevey wonders song 'Isnt she lovely' was good too but jay z's had more feeling and compassion.
ReplyDeleteHonestly , Jay z and Stevie Wonder did a wonderful job on both songs " Isnt She Lovely " and " Glory " but I Personally think jay z did better only because his words were much stronger and described more on Blue Ivy.

"Glory" and "Isnt She Lovely" are both great songs written by great artist. I think that Jay-Z did a better job talking about his daughter. It had a more powerfull emotion when hes sing than Stevie Wonder did in "Isnt She Lovely". But Jay-Z and Stevie Wonder both expressed there love for there daughters.

ReplyDeleteIn the two music vedios by Stevie Wonder and Jay-Z expresses they're feeling to they're children in their songs Isin't she lovely by Stevie Wonder and Glory by Jay-z,also in my thinking I feel Stevie Wonder did a better job at delivering to listeners how he realy feel about his child. "Isn't she pretty Truly the angel's best girl, I'm so happy We have been heaven blessed" really shows that his daughter means the world to him and that he sees her as a blessed child from God.

ReplyDeletethe song ''Jay-Z glory'' and stevie wonder glory'' is about they children and the song have alot of emotions in it. Also they expressed their love for their daughters. Jay-Z had stronger feeling and words to describe his daughter. Then Stevie Wonders sings with compassion and gets to the point. I want change anything in the songs

ReplyDeleteIn the song ''Glory'' by Jay-Z and ''Isn't She Lovely'' by Stevie Wonder,they both have emotions in both of their videos.They both show love to their daughters.Jay-z and Stevie Wonder have a lot of feelings for their daughters.
Stevie Wonder has the better lyrics in his song than Jay-Z. This is because he talks more about his daughter and gives her more respect. Also, he seems more sincere in what he is saying to his daughter. Jay-Z does not really talk much about his daughter. He talks more about God, than his daughter.
