Questionaire

I Asked 7 different people from my pop target market the same questions to see what they would want and what they already like in the pop industry.

-who is your favourite pop artist?
1)Chris brown
2)Neyo
3)Maroon 5
4)Justin bieber
5)Beyonce
6)Rihanna
7)Justin Bieber

-Why?
1)I prefer Chris' old music but his songs are always good, there is not one i don't like.
2)Although Neyo doesn't release that much music recently i really like him recently after his recent songs.
3)I used to like Maroon 5 ages ago and kind of forgot about them, then they brought themselves back with 'moves like jagger' and i love them again.
4)His newest album is brilliant and its made me listen to him a lot more so now thinking about it he seems to be the person i listen to the most.
5)She has such a powerful voice
6)Rihannas songs are so catchy and are always stuck in my head which makes me like them even more.
7) Its Justin Bieber, i think everyone loves Justin!

-What kind of album covers catch your eye?
1) Usually they tend to be colourful and with a recognisable singer on the front, if i dont recognise them i wont really look at the cover.
2)I always prefer the more simplistic album covers that are easy to understand who the artist is and not confusing like some i have seen.
3)I know i have already said they are my favorite band but it would have to be maroon 5, i always remember it because its so busy and eye catching and hard to work out which makes you look at it for longer.
4)Anything quite sleek, maybe using colours like greys and blacks alongside pinks.
5)I dont tend to look at the covers and much as the inside, you know when you can sometimes fold a little book out. Some of them have funny pictures which i love to look at.
6)I always remember what Tinie Tempahs album cover looks like so i guess thats the one i would choose, its got such pretty colours but still so clear who the artist with the medium shot, he is an easily recognisable star.
7)I prefer not having the artists face and just an interesting picture, i dont know why but it makes me pay more attention, i guess finding out who the artist is.

-Do you generally prefer male or female artists?
1)Male
2)Male
3)Male
4)Female
5)Male
6)Female
7)Male

-Why?
1)I do like female artists aswell especially when they collaborate i just usually prefer the sound of male artists voices and tones.
2)I dont know i just counted up my favorite artists and there were more male!
3)I find their voices so much more interesting to listen to.
4)Female songs tend to get stuck in my head more which leaves me singing them all the time so i end up enjoying the song more.
5)That choice was tough but i seem to enjoy male songs more.
6)Its not just the singing of a female artist its usually their persona aswell and they seem to come across a lot more interesting making me want to know about their lives aswell as listen to their music such as lady gaga.
7)I dont just prefer male singing i prefer male rapping in my opinion its a lot better than female rapping. 

After looking at the answers from this questionnaire this might help out group as to how to attract the right target audience with the right style CD cover (by making it colourful) and how to make our star more likeable by the target audience (interesting star persona)
