Shakira (Pop Latino):
Pandora
1. Te Llevare Al Cielo by Mana
2. Say It Right by Nelly Furtado
3. Te Aviso Te Anuncio by Shakira
4. Labios Compartidos by Mana
5. Poker Face by Lady Gaga
Last FM
1. La Oreja de Van Gogh by Rosas
2. Say It Right by Nelly Furtado
3. Nada puede cambiarme by Paulina Rubio
4. Volverte A Ver by Juanes
5. Canela by Fey
When typing in “Shakira,” The recommendations on Pandora and Last FM are very similar probably because we were attempting to find Pop Latino music on American sites. There might not be much of a variety for this type of music on these sites. The same song, “Say It Right” by Nelly Furtado was chosen on both sites.
George Strait (Country):
Pandora
1. George Strait – Ocean Front Property
2. Brooks and Dunn – Neon Moon
3. Alan Jackson – Chasin’ That Neon Rainbow
4. Garth Brooks – Friends In Low Places
5. Tracy Lawrence - Alibis
Last FM
1. George Strait – Check Yes Or No
2. Mark Chesnutt – She Was
3. John Michael Montgomery – The Little Girl
4. Tracy Lawrence – I See It Now
5. Brooks and Dunn – Neon Moon
Juanes (Rock Latino):
Pandora
1. Juanes – La Camisa Negra
2. Shakria – Estoy Aqui
3. Mana - Si No Te Hubieras Ido
4. Bacilos – Caraluna
5. Juanes – Nada
LastFM
1. Juanes – Que Pasa
2. Reik – Noviembre sin ti
3. Julieta Vengas – Andar conmigo
4. Bacilos – Caraluna
5. Fonseca - Arroyito
Both of these sites offered similar results for each of the artists. They were both consistent and reliable, providing other songs that had a relevant theme or genre.
The Go-Go's (punk/rock):
Pandora
1. Pat Benatar “Love is a Battlefield”
2. Blondie “Call Me”
3. Duran Duran “Hungry Like The Wolf”
4. Belinda Carlisle “Mad About You”
5. The Go-Go’s “Tonite”
Last FM
1. Animotion “Obsession"
2. Romeo Void “Never Say Never"
3. Altered Images “Insects”
4. Belinda Carlisle “Heaven Is A Place On Earth”
5. The Romantics “What I Like About You”
On Pandora you can say what you do and do not like, and you can create various playlist stations, and you can also purchase the music. On LastFM I feel like they just gave you a wide variety of artists, but you couldn’t personalize them a lot. However, they do give you the option to share the track, tag the track, or purchase it. LastFM offers similar options, but you have to have the patience to learn about the sites options.
Pandora gave me a bunch of artist suggestions that were popular and I already knew. I am not a big Go-Go’s fan per-say, but I recognized all of the artists, and I liked the music the site suggested. If you just want to create a fun playlist of your favorite bands/genres, this is a good site to use.
LastFM gave me an interesting variety of choices. Many of these artists I had not heard of, but when I listened to them I liked their suggestions for the most part. I appreciate that they showed me music I wouldn’t normally have found. If you want to discover new or less-known artists, this might be a better option.
Beyonce (Pop):
Pandora
1. Irreplaceable (Beyonce)
2. Miss Independent (Ne-Yo)
3. Obsessed (Mariah Carey)
4. Bootylicious (Destiny’s chilid)
5. Naughty Girl (Beyonce)
Last FM
1. If I were a boy (Beyonce)
2. Pon de Replay (Rihanna)
3. Obvious (Le Toya)
4. Comeback (Kelly Rowland)
5. Emotion (Destiny’s Child)
Searching the artist Beyonce on Pandora and Last FM brought back meaningful results. On Pandora I was suggested two songs from beyonce herself, “irreplaceable” and “naughty girl”. Also three other female artist were suggested, all which are considered to be R&B or hip hop, but all the songs of the artist would be considered hip hop. The other three artists were Ne-Yo with “Miss Independent”, Mariah Carey with “Obsessed”, and Destiny’s Child with “Bootylicious”.
On Last FM my search for beyonce only contained on song from her, which was “If I were a boy”. The other four suggestions were all R&B artist and all females. The only difference in the suggestions from Last FM was one of the suggested artist was highly known in the U.S. but is from another country, making her an international artist, this artist was Rihanna with “Pon de Replay”. The other three artists were Kelly Rowland with “Comback”, and two others which are related. Destiny’s child with “Emotion”, and Le Toya with “Obvious”, who was originally a member of destiny’s child.
Lil Wayne (Rap):
Pandora
1. Mr. Carter- Lil Wayne
2. Rubber Band Man – T.I.
3. Swagga Like Us – Jay-Z & T.I.
4. Lollipop Remix – Nicki Minaj & Lil Wayne
5. Pussy, Money, Weed – Lil Wayne
Last.FM
1. Bust It Baby Part 2 (feat. Neyo) –Plies
2. Cali Love – Tyga
3. S.A.N.T.A.N.A. – Juelz Santana
4. Long Lap Dance – T-Pain
5. Dope Boy- Gorilla Zoe
“Personalization Options” Comparison:
Pandora allowed the listener to adjust volume, pause, or forward their music to the next recommended song. I felt like Pandora was lot more “beginner friendly” because it displayed a clean, organized layout. It also featured the ability to create a new station, share music/stations with friends, edit your current station, like or dislike a song, purchase and/or bookmark a song, explore music through your mobile phone or a video series, and read about the artist and/or type of music you were listening to.
Last.FM featured a lot of the same personalization options as Pandora, such as the ability to start a new station, like or dislike a song, forward to the next recommended song, adjust the music volume, share, tag, or buy a track that you were interested in, and research artists and their music. However, Last. FM did a more extensive job at listing artists, stations, and events related to the music station the listener created. Last.FM also allowed users to post comments and/or slideshows about certain tracks. I felt that one could not use Last.FM without any previous experience with “internet radio”.
“Recommendations under LIL WAYNE” Comparison:
Pandora’s recommendations consisted of more mainstream music and repeated a lot of the same artists, including the searched artist (Lil Wayne) himself. Last.FM, however, suggested a lot of off-the-wall artists and songs that I had never heard of before. It seems like Pandora matched a lot of popular music with my artist search whereas Last.FM dug into a deeper, “less well-known” song and artist library. I think it would depend on the listener’s personal preference as to whether or not he or she would like to hear the artist(s) they searched for and related popular songs or whether they would wish to explore a variety of different and less popular artists and songs.
Shakira (Pop Latino):

1. Te Llevare Al Cielo by Mana
2. Say It Right by Nelly Furtado
3. Te Aviso Te Anuncio by Shakira
4. Labios Compartidos by Mana
5. Poker Face by Lady Gaga

YouTube:
I chose to view one of my favorite PSA’s for Special Olympics on YouTube. The video immediately started playing and did not have to stop to load or buffer. YouTube does a great job at categorizing and organizing videos, from Sports to Entertainment and even “What’s being watched now.” You can create your own personal account and upload videos yourself or save the ones you like to your account. There weren’t any advertisements in the video I chose, or even ads around it, but more popular videos will have advertisements before the clip and around the video screen. A user can make it a favorite, add it to a playlist or even share it on Facebook, Twitter and Myspace. Comments can be posted on each video and users can even monitor the videos by flagging it if deemed inappropriate. YouTube has numerous problems with people uploading videos illegally.
Hulu:
On Hulu, I chose to view an episode of one of my new favorite shows, “Shark Tank.” The episode loaded quickly, around 2 seconds. An advertisement then popped up, explaining “The following program is brought to you by Axe Instinct” and a short commercial of about 30 seconds followed. The episode never loaded again or buffered, but I usually have different experiences at home. Normally, I have to let episodes load for at least a minute before watching them or I’ll have to wait while they buffer during the episode. Advertisements of about 15-20 seconds will pop up a few times during an episode. Hulu organizes clips into TV and Movies and is more structured than YouTube. Networks, such as ABC, give Hulu permission to run the episodes. While a user can create an account on Hulu, they may not upload their own videos. They can only use their account to contribute to reviews and discussions, subscribe to certain shows and movies, have Hulu friends and make recommendations. Hulu videos are also only available to users located in the United States. I use Hulu to subscribe to certain shows, because I normally don’t have the time to watch it when it comes on TV. They send me an e-mail when new episodes are uploaded.
Veoh:
I had never heard of Veoh before and found it difficult to use. Veoh is split into different parts: TV shows, Movies, Music, Channels and Groups. I went to the “Educational and How-To” channel and very inappropriate videos came up. This site is not trustworthy and I will not use it again. When I finally found an appropriate video, an episode of “Who’s the Boss?” it took a while to load and then showed a 30 second advertisement. It never had to buffer once it started and didn’t freeze. There were 2 “commercial” breaks. Veoh allows users to download a Veoh Player , entitled the “Veoh Video Compass” and download the videos. You can share them via e-mail, Facebook, Twitter, and Myspace. You can flag videos or add them to favorites.

Advertisements of about 15-20 seconds will pop up a few times during an episode. Hulu organizes clips into TV and Movies and is more structured than YouTube. Networks, such as ABC, give Hulu permission to run the episodes. While a user can create an account on Hulu, they may not upload their own videos. They can only use their account to contribute to reviews and discussions, subscribe to certain shows and movies, have Hulu friends and make recommendations. Hulu videos are also only available to users located in the United States. I use Hulu to subscribe to certain shows, because I normally don’t have the time to watch it when it comes on TV. They send me an e-mail when new episodes are uploaded.
Veoh:
I had never heard of Veoh before and found it difficult to use. Veoh is split into different parts: TV shows, Movies, Music, Channels and Groups. I went to the “Educational and How-To” channel and very inappropriate videos came up. This site is not trustworthy and I will not use it again. When I finally found an appropriate video, an episode of “Who’s the Boss?” it took a while to load and then showed a 30 second advertisement. It never had to buffer once it started and didn’t freeze. There were 2 “commercial” breaks. Veoh allows users to download a Veoh Player , entitled the “Veoh Video Compass” and download the videos. You can share them via e-mail, Facebook, Twitter, and Myspace. You can flag videos or add them to favorites.
