She Ain't You

     For Project 2, I picked to analyze a song. At first, I was going to analyze a movie, The Last Song to be exact, but I don't want my paper to end up as one big summary. In order for my paper to have more analyzation and thought, I decided to go with a song instead. I picked the song "She Ain't You" by Chris Brown. I picked a Chris Brown song because he not only is very popular and well-know, but he also went through a lot in his life. His songs probably relate to the events that he's been through, which is why I think it would be easy to analyze. Listening to this song, it gets me wondering things like who he's talking about, what the song title means, does it relate to anything in his past? If I had to guess, I would think it has something to do with his whole Rihanna experience. Everyone knows he messed up and ruined a great relationship a couple years ago, so that's why I think this song is about his past with Rihanna. I also know that Chris Brown dedicated this song to Michael Jackson. He was a big inspiration to Chris, and I think this song got Chris thinking about how life can one day be gone, just like Michael's was, and how he maybe regrets some of the things he did. My thesis is going to be something like: The song "She Ain't You" is Chris Brown's song dedicated to Michael Jackson, thanking him for being such a great role model and inspiration, and expressing his thoughts and feelings about how his life is now affected by his past relationships.
