MARIAH CAREY feat LUTHER VANDROSS Endless love Live @ The Royal Alber...



I'm on a Mariah "kick," tonight so bear w/me! :-) I actually bumped into a studio version of this, first, that just brought the tears a-rolling I had forgotten how beautiful this song was and...to see Luther Vandross, again, was wonderful! But...to see them perform in a concert setting is just amazing (except for Luther's profuse sweating; poor dude! And he was thinner, there!)!

I went to see Luther in concert, in the 90's and heard his amazing backup singer, Lisa Fischer, practically steal the show from him she was that good! I'll feature her, next. :-)

Hope you enjoy this vid. A LOT of talent on that stage! Luther passed away in 2005 and is sorely missed. He had the most angelic male voice I had ever heard! :-(

Lisa Fischer - How Can I Ease The Pain - Music Video (1991)



I love how "intense" the beat in this is. Intoxicating! :-P An amazingly strong voice. Hope you enjoy.

'Touch MyBody' - Mariah Carey



OK...one last vid of Mariah that I wanted to share. It's a HOOT and it was fun to see her do a silly vid! I'm sure you'll enjoy the outfits as well! Hope that you have a good laugh! :-D

'Angel' - Sarah McLachlan



LOVE this song. LOVE Sarah's voice. And...I'm a lyric gurl so...I'm going to post those, here! Enjoy!

Spend all your time waiting
For that second chance
For a break that would make it okay
There’s always one reason
To feel not good enough
And it’s hard at the end of the day
I need some distraction
Oh beautiful release
Memory seeps from my veins
Let me be empty
And weightless and maybe
I’ll find some peace tonight

In the arms of an angel
Fly away from here
From this dark cold hotel room
And the endlessness that you fear
You are pulled from the wreckage
Of your silent reverie
You’re in the arms of the angel
May you find some comfort here

So tired of the straight line
And everywhere you turn
There’s vultures and thieves at your back
And the storm keeps on twisting
You keep on building the lies
That you make up for all that you lack
It don’t make no difference
Escaping one last time
It’s easier to believe in this sweet madness oh
This glorious sadness that brings me to my knees

In the arms of an angel
Fly away from here
From this dark cold hotel room
And the endlessness that you fear
You are pulled from the wreckage
Of your silent reverie
You’re in the arms of the angel
May you find some comfort there
You’re in the arms of the angel
May you find some comfort here

Renee Olstead - Someone To Watch Over Me

Toto - Hold the line (High Quality) - With Lyrics

Gary Wright - Love is Alive Lyrics



It's interesting to think about how powerful music is: the instant you hear the first few notes, it takes you back to the time in your life when the song was in your life. In my case, I was 15 and that's ALL I can say about that! lol! But...there is something so DANG "intoxicating" about the bass guitar, etc. of this song. It's so intense (well...it turns out that most of Wright's album is pretty intense w/the bold bass, etc. 'Made To Love You' (can't find a vid. Boo! :-( is pretty good as well as 'Can't Find the Judge,' and 'Dream Weaver.' Aw, heck...I LOVE the ENTIRE album! Just listened to 'Blind Feeling' and then 'Much Higher.' DAMN that's some GOOD music!) for me that it makes me wanna dance to it...with a, um, pole...IYKWIM...IF I knew how! lol! Anyway...I have ALWAYS LOVED this song because of the guitars! :-P Hope you enjoy! (Don't forget to "CRANK IT, BABY!" :-D

Elton John - Your Sister Can't Twist (Yellow Brick Road 13 of 21)



Elton John's 'Goodbye Yellow Brick Road' was pretty much the only album I had growing up so...I learned ALL the songs on this album. This song, in particular, is a WORKOUT to sing but has quite the "pep" to it and makes you wanna just get up and BOOGIE to it! :-D Hope you enjoy!

Joss Stone - Snakes and Ladders - Lyrics On Screen



Joss Stone has one of the most AMAZING voices I have ever heard of a female artist. And...so much talent and beauty it humbles me that much, I am in complete "awe" of this young lady! She started singing when she was only 16 years old and had such a "mature" voice, already. And...I just LOVE the "twists and turns" of her voice and the melody of this song. Hope you enjoy! :-)

Tanya Tucker - Somebody Must Have Loved You Right Last Night (1979)



Unlike many, I enjoyed Tanya Tucker, when I was a kid. Understand this about me: I did NOT like country music but something about her voice has always resonated with me. Basically, I can sing exactly like her, when I sing along with her. And...funny enough, this song talks about a very painful subject but all I hear is the BEAUTIFUL melody and her voice in this one. Hope you enjoy!
