You have gone into a lot of detail with analysing your Star. You have given a good amount of information about her, who she is, and what she has done throughout her career. To improve you could comment on why you thought the group she was part of split and then why she went on to pursue a solo career. I like how you have analysed star image and included lots of images as examples. Well done for analysing a couple of her videos as well. This gives a higher insight into your start and shows you have really put time and effort into looking at this specific artist. Maybe comment on how it might help you when you are creating your own star for your music video.
