It is obvious that reading about
Beyoncé can never be a drag to someone who is
a proud member of the Beyhive (her fans). In the review the Rolling Stones has
done for her legendary performance at the MTV VMA’s, made it clear that her
performance was absolute perfection. In this review they have used the claim of
value, to establish that they think her performance was amazing. While this
credible source has said Beyoncé’s performance
was the highlight of the night, one may argue and establish their own claim
that there was, in fact, a performer who outshined Beyoncé
that night. Ethos was
already established because the Rolling Stones is known to be a credible source
and the writer of this review established Beyoncé’s
ethos by presenting the reader of her past accomplishments to prove to the
reader that she is truly a talent. Logical evidence was not used in this
review, as the reader can see the writer was all for Queen Bey and her
performance, however the author of this piece had a large pool of examples as
to why this iconic performance was absolutely wonderful and can be a topic of
conversation. Pathos may have been found when the author mentioned the singer’s
daughter and the words she had said to express her feelings toward her mother.
Blue Ivy said, “Good job, mommy” (1), and to some of the readers those words
could connect at an emotional level. As one can see some reviews are positive
and some negative, however all reviews must use certain techniques to appeal to
an audience.
