Freestyle Rap

Freestyle rap commonly refers to rap lyrics which are improvised through a cappella or with instrumental beats.

It is similar to other improvisational music such as jazz. A rap group from Los Angeles describes it as being "like a jazz solo". Rap battles are sometimes improvised in this way.

In the book How to Rap, Big Daddy Kane and one member of Freestyle Fellowship note that originally a freestyle was a written rap on no particular subject – Big Daddy Kane says, “in the ’80s when we said we wrote a freestyle rap, that meant that it was a rhyme that you wrote that was free of style… it’s basically a rhyme just bragging about yourself.”

Popera

IL Divo is probably the most well known popera band
Popera, as its name suggests, is Pop + Opera - it is pop music performed in an operatic style or classical music styled as pop. According to Wikipedia, the word popera was first coined by Scott Paul-Young, a British theatre agent, to best describe the music that was being created by producer Malcolm Middleton and performed by the opera girl band Milan for the first time at The Hippodrome, London in August, 2001. Middleton created the idea of an opera band mixing traditional opera with contemporary pop and dance music earlier in 2000.

However, some critics consider popera as 'commercialized operatic music'.
