Emotive and Colloquial Language in Magazines
The language used in this magazine is very colloquial with words such as "hookers" and "bastard" used very informally which makes the reader feel very comfortable to read it because it sounds like words they would use with their friends. This causes an emotional reaction of laughter in the audience because its not common for magazines to have this type of language displayed across the front cover for all to see.
The phrase "Meet the new Simon Cowell...(and this ones not a bastard)" this sounds like the magazine is introducing us to a new person completely and that the only way you'll find out how different this Simon Cowell is by buying and reading this magazine, the audience will know him from the x-factor and know his behaviour on the show so they'll be surprised to see how he has changed which will appeal to them.
"Skrillex dance genius or noisy git?" this question makes the audience laugh because the magazine is implying that he doesn't make good music and is comparing it to just noise, the use of the word "git" is a form of colloquial language therefore makes the reader feel like the magazine is telling an honest opinion about whether or not he is a talent in the msuic scene.
Planning; From analysing the language of this magazine I've learned that music magazines are willing to go all out using colloquial language to attract the audiences attention being controversial.
