For this SPAR debate, I had taken the position that Doja Cat was a better singer than Snoop Dogg. My reasons for this were because of her versatility as a music artist within the industry (since she can rap, sing, and dance), her youth and relatability, and how likable her personality is. Plus, she doesn’t take the industry and songwriting business too seriously, so she knows how to have fun as she writes catchy lighthearted bops. My partner took the position that Snoop Dogg was a better singer.
Overall, I thought my first SPAR debate went okay, considering it was the very first one I had ever done. I have a tendency to stumble over my words and mispronounce words, so this is a common issue throughout all my debates in this course. I did not think to ask questions or anything, so I noticed that someone of my classmates tended to ask each other questions during their debates. I thought all my other classmates did very well– some of their topics did not always rely solely on research and dealt more with morals/ethics, which can be subjective but it can also offer interesting debates when there are two sides that do not share the same argument.
