"Tell Santa I've been Good!"
Introduction "You Me At Six frontman Josh Franceschi has reacted with shock and sadness over recent research which has shown that boys that share his first name are the least well-behaved in the run-up to Christmas Day." This article uses 2nd person, and also includes quotes to personalise the article. The opening sentence is rather vague which encourages the reader to read on and it is only about the band. The article expresses opinions from Josh Franceschi (YM@6 frontman) and also quotes on the release of the new album, so the article is half about the new album and world tour, and the other half is about his outrage against research into children who share his name are the most misbehaved towards Christmas.
"Muse? Give me King Adora every time"
Introduction "Of all the press releases that have filled my Inbox this week, one stands out as the least expected." This introduction says very little about what the article is about. It gives more information about the journalist rather than the band he is going to be writing about. The style of writing is very opinionated through the use of references and wording.
"The Muppets"
The Introduction to the article gives a summary of what it is about, "Thirty-five years since first gracing our screens, Kermit, Miss Piggy and the gang are back. It's time to raise the curtain and discuss, um, Radiohead's carbon emissions and dating Lady Gaga..."
This summary is worded as if being spoken, or narrated which gives it a more formal appeal.
The rest of the article uses humor to keep the reader interested, and also entertained which will keep them reading.
