Questionnaire Analysis

Megan Davies

IntroductionThere are several choices I have when it comes to displaying my results of the survey. I want to show my results clearly so that they can be read quickly and easily; so they don't take up even more of my time to analyse- so I have decided to use both pie and bar charts- as they are the most recognisable and also easy to understand for all ages.

Question 3There were a huge variety of responses that came through, they are all listed on the next page.

The main genre of artists that people answered was pop and pop rock. I think this was mainly because of the people I sent the survey to. Because on my Facebook and Twitter I have fans of artists who are Pop/ Pop Rock of who I also enjoy like listening to.

Question 5This question asked was an open question, so I was expecting a lot of different answers. All answers given were very original and have given me an insight into what attracts people to a certain artist/band.

Q5 Responses not only vocals but the

music as well!

Good songs.

If they sound like something I'd like If they seem like genuine people interested in music and pleasing their fans rather than making money

If their music is good.

Type of music Communication to fans Attractiveness

the way they present themselves.

The way they look

if it sounds good, can make you want to dance

How their music makes me feel when I listen to it

Simple music with a slight variation, a singer with a unique voice and above all, good, meaningful lyrics.

Their voice, looks and personality

Having influential songs which are very emotional.

can sing / dance along to the tune

if the lyrics relates to a certain period in your life.

Individuality, distinctive voice, writes own material, can play own instruments

I like music that is easy to

listen to and you can sing along with.

Catchy tunes, easy on the eye

The sound, Beat Rhythm

Looks Popularity Relevance to songs/lyrics

The beats and the lyrics.

Melody and good lyrics

Their performance and the style of their song. For example Lady Gaga has created a new style which is different to any other artist.

Music, Style

Question 6 I idolise certain artists and copy what they wear.

True or false?True False

This question shows that 13 people do not idolise certain artists and copy what they wear.

Question 7

This question shows that 13 people are not a fan of certain bands because they are good looking.

7. I am a fan of a certain artist/band because they are very good-looking. True or false?

True

FALSE

Question 8The majority of people question said that they do NOT prefer music by British artists. However the comments were very interesting and helped me a lot to think clearly about the question.

Q8 Responses do idolise certain artists but don't

copy what they wear :) Andddd I don't mind whether they're british artists or not - if I like their music, I'll like them :D

I like both :)

I think British artists are less mainstream and more unique

I have answered true although it doesn't really bother me because I concentrate on their music rather than the country they were born.

To promote my country

i don't really know any other artists that are foreign.

I support anyone who I think is good.

just depends what they sound like

I support artists because their music makes me feel good.

It doesn't matter where they are

from, it just helps if they are british so seeing them live becomes a lot easier.

Because of English talent shows

As long as their music is good, it doesnt matter- however being proud of British artists who come from your local town makes you feel good inside.

If its a catchy tune and influential lyrics it becomes a memorable time in your life

doesn't matter where they are from as long as their music is good!

I like any music that is good to listen too.

Country of origin makes no difference to me.

So I can help promote British Bands, because I am from the UK

I like any music aslong as it has a good beat and meanigful lyrics.

Music is music, if good to my ears then i don't care where they come from

I like artists such as Rihanna who isn't British becuase of the quality of the music she produces. In my opinion I dont think the country which the person is from, should affect whether you prefer that music.

I don't choose artists I like based on their nationality. My choice is based on their music.

Question 9The majority of people questioned answered ‘False’ to say they are not just interested in a band/artist because they are in the top 10 charts and/or have sold out tours. The comments I received were very interesting and made me think deeply about whether the question was appropriate for the survey.

Q9 Responses My favourite band is American and

known in the UK but they're not doing anything right now, but I still love them and listen to their music. My other favourite band isn't even known well in the UK, and haven't had any songs in the charts, but I love them :)

It means they are good.

Means they are good

I find new bands/artists by getting cheap CD's from record collecting stores, but i hear about many pop artists on the radio and in the charts.

Being a fan of an artist before they make it big gives you a proud feeling that you helped them get to where they are today.

I think hearing a certain tune often on the radio, it then becomes a favourite.

i prefer to follow bands before they become famous - i lose interest a little when they get too much publicity & airplay

It helps to join in with musical conversations

Because they are normally the new/latest songs.

Question 10

This question made me think about whether the question was appropriate and would actually help me with the research of artists. After reviewing it, it will greatly help me with Star Theory by Stuart Hall.

Q10 Responses Bands that are good people and

send positive messages through their music and through their beliefs are a good thing as they influence young people the most

Yes because it will inspire more people to become the same.

Helps promote the UK

yes, i think it inspires a lot of people, including myself, if the music has meaningful lyrics, a person can find a band/artists whose songs they feel they can relate to.

There are so many bad influences

out there, young people especially need a someone to give them hope that positivity can come from the most unlikely places

Positive as in good role models, then yes. But so many 'positive role models' are just engineered by management companies, so much that it isn't actually a true representation of their real self.

Possibly, not sure.

Gives the youth of today something to look up to in a positive way.
