My recommendation is that you approach this assignment as a personal opinion on the song, the performer, the band and the emotions that it elicits in you personally. Your grade will depend on how well you use the musical terms used during the semester in class. Writing this report in the first person will assist you in staying away from similarities with any of the websites that you may or may have not visited.
