Rock and roll music first became popular in the 1950s.There were many popular rock and roll singers during that time, but only a few of those singers are still popular.Most people today are familiar with the singer named Elvis Presley.
Elvis Presley sang different types of music.He sang country and blues music.He also sang music that you might hear in church, but it was rock and roll music that made Elvis very popular.In fact, the songs of Elvis became so famous that people gave the singer a special name.Everyone started to call him “the King of Rock and Roll”．Today many people still call him “King” for short.
Other famous singers have also been given special names.Not everyone always agrees with their names, but many newspapers and magazines use the names.For example, in the 1980s pop music became famous, and Michael Jackson was the most popular singer.People thought that the pop music was really just one kind of rock and roll music, so they did not want to call Michael Jackson “King”．Elvis was still the king.As a result, Michael Jackson was given the name “the Prince of Pop”．However, Michael Jackson was not the only famous pop singer in the 1980s.Madonna was also very popular.She was given the name “the Queen of Pop”．More than one woman has been called “the Princess of Pop”．Two of the most famous “Pop Princesses” are Britney Spears and Christina Aguilera.

Then there is Domkop&Clowns—Fikile Mphore, Levy Makola and Samuel Mokati—from the Free State.The group is clearly not here to clown around.They are not sure they are in it to win. 　　　　　　　　　　　　
Mphore, the founder of the group, says because he's not too bright, his schoolmates gave him the nickname Domkop.Mphore says he started by watching cartoons, then taking a doll and creating a puppet based on what he saw on TV, and then making up songs to fit their actions.
“Many people like what we do and believe we can win this thing.If we do win, I want to go back to school and become brighter, especially in English, and also learn to make what we do as a business，” he says.
