Today’s spotlight is on Jenny Darren, a remarkable woman who took the stage on Britain’s Got Talent and stunned both the judges and the audience. At 68 years old, Jenny confidently chose the rock anthem “Highway to Hell” by AC/DC for her audition — and her electrifying performance quickly went viral online, earning her the admiration of millions.
Jenny’s deep connection to rock music goes back decades. She began singing at the young age of 12, growing up surrounded by the sounds of legendary artists like Robert Plant, Jimmy Page, and Jeff Lynne.
When talking about music, it’s fascinating to note the many ways it’s categorized: genres can be grouped by style, purpose, or performance setting. For example, pop and classical music each have their own emotional tones, ranging from lyrical and epic to dramatic, as well as functional types like marches and dances. Musical genres are constantly shifting and evolving over time, reflecting human experiences through sound and artistic expression.
At its heart, music speaks directly to our emotions and senses. Among the oldest forms of musical expression is vocal performance — the art of communicating through the human voice. Whether performed solo, as part of a duet, trio, quartet, quintet, or full choir, singing conveys artistic meaning through both lyrics and vocal inflection.
Singers perform both with and without instrumental backing, and sometimes even wordlessly through vocalization. Depending on the style, singing can fall into categories like folk, classical, or pop. And based on vocal range and tone, female voices are typically classified as soprano or mezzo-soprano, while male voices include tenor, baritone, and bass.
