Every year the world falls in love with a new breakout sensation. In 1997, Tiger Woods won his first professional golf tournament and became wildly successful for many more years. In 2008, Lady Gaga hit the music scene and became incredibly popular. Recently, it’s been all about Sam Smith.
Sam Smith’s most recent album, “In the Lonely Hour,” won him four awards at the GRAMMYs, including Best New Artist, Album of the Year, and Song of the Year. His singing can be very emotional, but it is quite good. Hopefully we will hear a lot more from him.

Sara is going to see Sam Smith in concert this weekend. Sam Smith is one of Sara’s favorite singers, and even though some people think his music is sappy, Sara loves it. Hopefully she doesn’t get too emotional at the concert!
Gary only knows one song by Sam Smith. Gary doesn’t care much for his music, but he was impressed to hear that Sam Smith cleaned up at the GRAMMYs. Even Gary knows that that’s hard to do.
Do you like Sam Smith? Who is your favorite singer?
