The website is the official website for Cascada, and as she is German, the website can be translated into either English or German. The colour scheme is purple and dark grey, and there are sparkles that follow the cursor on the banner. It has a feminine, luxurious feel to it, which goes with her image. At the top of the website is a CU of Cascada - a beauty shot. There is a music player with the option of playing 4 of her hits, as well as tour dates, her music videos, a poll about which of her songs should be on Clubland Live 3, a members area, a gallery, biography, discography, guestbook and much more. Her genre is a fusion of Europop, Eurotrance, Eurodance, R&B and House, which has similarities to our song with the "pop" and "dance" aspects.

The background to the website has a subtle pattern on the deep purple colour, which looks like the wallpaper to an exclusive club, similarly to the banner, which is black stencil on dark grey; very stylish. At the bottom of the webpage are the sponsors and her record label; Universal Music Group, Zooland Records, Vengeance, which is a conventional feature of the official website.

The website is very interactive, and there are lots of interesting things to click on.

This is Kanye West's Myspace Music page. It is surprisingly colourful considering R&B/hip-hop artists are usually associated with dark colours like black. The background is a pale duck-egg blue colour, and there are multicoloured dividers betweent he different features on the page. There are links to his official website, his blog, his videos, and the option to add him as a friend. There are music samples, videos, info about his albums and influences, and his record companies: Hip Hop Since 1978/ Def Jam/ Roc-A-Fella/ G.O.O.D.

The main graphic at the top of the page is a broken heart, which links to his album "808s & Heartbreak". Within the myspace layout, he is advertising his album for a Valentine's Day Special. "Valentine's Day is quickly approaching, and love - and heartbreak - is in the air. Not sure what to get the love of your life for Valentine's day? Check out this cool package we have put together just for this special day, featuring a brand NEW 808s and Heartbreak T-shirt!"


Lady Gaga

This is Lady Gaga's official website. IT is predominantly black, which makes her outrageous costumes stand out. There is a picture of what looks like ice/foamy diamonds, giving a luxurious and daring feel. There are links to all the major social networking sites, including her twitter feeds. There are her music videos and videos of her appearances on chat shows and Saturday Night Live. The website is crammed full of colourful boxes, making it seem a bit overcrowded.

At the top there are links to her videos, her biography, photos, tour info, ringtones, music, merchandise, a forum and more. Like the others, her record label is at the bottom, Streamline Records, and Konlive (a sponsor?).
