The music of the United States reflects the country's multi-ethnic population through a diverse array of styles. Among the country's most internationally-renowned genres are hip hop, blues, country, rhythm and blues, jazz, barbershop, pop, techno, and rock and roll. The United States has the world's largest music industry and its music is heard around the world. Since the beginning of the 20th century, some forms of American popular music have gained a near global audience.
Native Americans were the earliest inhabitants of the land that is today known as the United States and played its first music. Beginning in the 17th century, immigrants from the United Kingdom, Ireland, Spain, Germany and France began arriving in large numbers, bringing with them new styles and instruments. African slaves brought musical traditions, and each subsequent wave of immigrants contributed to a melting pot.
Much of modern popular music can trace its roots to the emergence in the late 19th century of African American blues and the growth of gospel music in the 1920s. The African American basis for popular music used elements derived from European and indigenous musics. The United States has also seen documented folk music and recorded popular music produced in the ethnic styles of the Ukrainian, Irish, Scottish, Polish, Hispanic and Jewish communities, among others.
Michael Joseph Jackson (August 29, 1958 – June 25, 2009) was an American recording artist, entertainer, and businessman. Often referred to as the King of Pop, or by his initials MJ, Jackson is recognized as the most successful entertainer of all time by Guinness World Records. His contribution to music, dance, and fashion, along with a much-publicized personal life, made him a global figure in popular culture for over four decades. The seventh child of the Jackson family, he debuted on the professional music scene along with his brothers as a member of The Jackson 5 in 1964, and began his solo career in 1971.
In the early 1980s, Jackson became a dominant figure in popular music. The music videos for his songs, including those of "Beat It", "Billie Jean", and "Thriller", were credited with transforming the medium into an art form and a promotional tool, and the popularity of these videos helped to bring the relatively new television channel MTV to fame. Videos such as "Black or White" and "Scream" made him a staple on MTV in the 1990s. Through stage performances and music videos, Jackson popularized a number of complicated dance techniques, such as the robot and the moonwalk, to which he gave the name. His distinctive musical sound and vocal style influenced numerous hip hop, post-disco, contemporary R&B, pop and rock artists.
Stefani Joanne Angelina Germanotta (/ˈstɛfəniː dʒʌrməˈnɑːtə/ STE-fə-nee jurr-mə-NAH-tə; born March 28, 1986), known by her stage name Lady Gaga, is an American singer and songwriter. Born and raised in New York City, she primarily studied at the Convent of the Sacred Heart and briefly attended New York University's Tisch School of the Arts before withdrawing to focus on her musical career. She began performing in the rock music scene of Manhattan's Lower East Side, and was signed with Streamline Records by the end of 2007. During her employment as a songwriter for the record company, her vocal abilities captured the attention of recording artist Akon, who signed her to his label Kon Live Distribution.
Lady Gaga came to prominence as a recording artist following the release of her debut album The Fame (2008), which was a critical and commercial success that topped charts around the world and included the international number-one singles "Just Dance" and "Poker Face". After embarking on the The Fame Ball Tour, she followed the album with The Fame Monster (2009), which spawned the worldwide hit singles "Bad Romance", "Telephone" and "Alejandro". The album's success allowed her to embark on the eighteen-month long Monster Ball Tour, which later became one of the highest-grossing concert tours of all time. Her most recent album Born This Way (2011) topped the charts of most major markets and generated more international chart-topping singles, including "Born This Way", "Judas" and "The Edge of Glory". Besides her musical career, she involves herself with humanitarian causes and LGBT activism.

Do you like American music?
I like American music
Don't you like American music,baby?
I want you to hold me
I want your arms around me
I want you to hold me baby
Did you do too many drugs?
I did too many drugs
Did you do too many drugs to, baby?
You were born too late
I was born too soon
But everytime I look at that ugly moon
It reminds me of you
It reminds me of you oh oh oh
I need a date to the Prom
Would you like to come along?
But nobody would to the Prom with me
Baby
They didn't like American music
They never heard American music
They didn't know the music was in my soul
Baby
You were born to soon
I was born too late
But everytime I look at that ugly lake
It reminds me of me
It reminds me of me
Do you like American music?
We like American music
We like all kinds of music
But I like American music best
Baby
You were born too late
And I was born too late
But everytime I look at that ugly lake
It reminds me of me
It reminds me of me
Well the rock still rolls
The beat goes on
After all of this time
The faces change but the song's the same
So roll over Mister Dylan for the next in line
The want American music
For drivin with the radio
She said I know that I would be alright
If I could just make somebody my baby tonight
American music
For dancin with the stereo
Oh do what you like
Feel what you feel
The music is right
Well it almost feels real American
From the purple peaks to the city streets
People searching for the rock and roll scene
The power of the pounding beat
The magic in the dream
They want American music
For trav'lin with the radio
She said I know that I would be alright
If I could just make somebody my baby tonight
American music
For dancin with the stereo
Oh do what you like
Feel what you feel
The music is right
Well it almost feels real American
Just when you think that you've heard enough
Well somebody say turn it up
At a little county drugstore, drinkin' soda pop
In walked a chick, she began to rock
She looked at me, my heart said wow!
Oh-oh honey, well it's happenin' now
Yeah-yeah, I fell in love
She looked at me and put my head in a spin
Right then and there I knew her love I'd win
I was watchin' her shake
When she said, come dance with me
A little like hound dog on a huntin' spree
Yeah-yeah, I fell in love
We were sittin' at the table
Boy, she sure looked cute
She rolled her eyes, she said count your loot
I told I had two dollars, two bits and change
She said, that's just enough for you to change my name
Yeah-yeah, I fell in love
You better know it, I fell in love
You better know it, I fell in love
You better know it, I fell in love
Well, the rock still rolls
The beat goes on after all of this time
The faces change but the song's the same
So roll over Mister Dylan for the next in line
They want American music for drivin' with the radio
She said, I know that I would be alright
If I could just make somebody my baby tonight
American music for dancin' with the stereo
Oh do what you like feel what you feel
The music is right
Well, it almost feels real American
From the purple peaks to the city streets
People searching for the rock and roll scene
The power of the pounding beat
The magic in the dream
They want American music for travelin' with the radio
She said, I know that I would be alright
If I could just make somebody my baby tonight
American music for dancin' with the stereo
Oh do what you like feel what you feel
The music is right
Well, it almost feels real American
Just when you think that you've heard enough
Well, somebody say turn it up
Do you like American music?
I like American music
Don't you like American music, baby?
I want you to hold me
I want your arms around me
I want you to hold me, baby

(ian hunter)
I have a dream-its only one dream
But I know dreams can come true
And I have a wish-its only one wish
But I know wishes can too
I wanna be-faraway from here
With those honky tonk heroes-burnin' my ears-oh
Love american music-i play it all night long
Just me n' records-n' a vivid imagination
I love to dance in the mirror-i practice every single word
And it seems to me american music-is all I've ever heard
Oh oh oh-oh oh oh it's lonely on the underground
I sit and watch my world go round n' round n' round n' round n' round
I sit and watch the world go round
I hear the sons of memphis-i hear the brothers or harlem
I hear the nashville cats n' the rag time mamas outa new orleans
I hear the windy city-i hear a gospel singers hymn-and it seems to me
American music is all there's ever been
C'mon baby oh oh -oh oh-oo-oo
I love the names of the cities-i hear the echo echoing
