Mariah Carey's New Hit!

I swear people I'm not selling out! Sappy pop music isn't usually what I like to listen to but I always felt a special connection to Mariah Carey. Despite her trainwreck days, some stupid songs, and that needy vibe she gives off I think I'll always love her.

Mariah Carey's Music Box was the second album I ever owned; my best friend made a copy of hers and then gave it to me as a very late birthday gift when I was in fifth grade. I've been told a few times that I resemble her, so I always feel the need to represent my alleged celebrity look-a-like. That's natural, don't you?

This is Mariah Carey singing her new release titled Bye Bye on American Idol and I'll be singing it all week.

The Blue Man Group: Megamix

In my last day in Orlando we were pretty Disneyed out and decided to try something that didn't require so much walking in heat. The Blue Man Group is a theatrical production that was quite heavily advertised in Orlando since that's the birth town (I think). I've heard of them before since they now play in many major cities in the US and internationally and I was really glad we did this over Disney.

They found a found a really creative way to incorporate a high energy concert, witty comedy, and innovative theatrics that explains their success. I highly recommend this show and here's a clip of the blue men and their band playing "megamix".

Can you guess who this is?

I got the wonderful pleasure of attending an amazing concert on the night of Feb. 22, 2008. I didn't care too much about the main headliner it was this opening act that I went for. Can you guess who this is just from my amateur video?

The Official Hospital Song

Or so it seems. This awesome song was featured on many shows as the backdrop for suspenseful and dramatic hospital drama scenes.

This particular scene is from ER. Enjoy Wires by Athlete.

From the folks that brought you "Crazy Bitch"

Thanks to Napster, Kazaa, and now Limewire I buy albums like once in a blue moon. I have to really love the last couple of songs you released + have a down day for me to buy your album. I just picked up Buckcherry's latest album titled 15 and I LOVE this song. I've heard it before and LOVED it but I didn't know it was by Buckcherry.

Enjoy Everything by Buckcherry

My rockstar dancer personal trainer!

I've been meaning to post this one at 7aki's suggestion, here it comes! I mentioned before on my blog that my new personal trainer (btw she totally kicked my ass yesterday) plays in an Indie rock band along with her husband. They've toured a few times and have landed in the top 20 on college radio stations throughout the US.

When I mentioned to her that I watched their performances on youtube her reply was "I'm sorry about that." Apparently they really hate the way those videos and performances turned out and are hoping to replace them with better ones. I had to listen to it a few times before I started feeling it, but this one is my favorite.

The band is called We Landed on the Moon, the song is "one of a kind!" ......what do you think?

Black Crowes-She Talks To Angels

I just spend around half an hour trying to figure out the name of the song and the artist by googling what I could remember of the lyrics. I was driving home after having a bad day; a lot of things just went wrong and I got into one of those moods where I felt hopeless and overwhelmed. I turned on the radio and the acoustic version of this song had just started playing, it was excactly what I needed to hear!

I couldn't find a good acoustic version on youtube but here it is, enjoy She talks to angels by Black Crowes.

Broadway Theater: The Rent Song

I'm a big theater person, especially high-energy musical shows! I actually don't get the opportunity to see them that often but last night I drove 3 hours to see the traveling production of Rent the musical which I absolutely loved! Every song was a good song and Seasons of Love has become the signature Rent song, Enjoy!

Grey's Anatomy Song: Damien Rice- Nine Crimes

This song is most commonly known as that awesome song that played on Grey's Anatomy during the emotional scene where Dr.Yang is standing side by side with her boyfriend Dr. Burk in the OR and is secretly performing the surgery in place of him since his hands are injured. Damien Rice likes to leave his songs open to interpretation but to me this song is about someone who has cheated on their significant other and is coming in terms with the guilt and sorry. This is the version sung with Lisa Hannigan who has a beautiful voice.

"Next Stop-Vegas Please"-Sara Bareilles

I've blogged about this artist previously on my blog and I was a fan of hers before her name was really known. The first time I heard her name mentioned on the radio I had already had half of her songs memorized on her debut album titled "little voices" which was number 1 on itunes recently. I've classified her as the feminine younger version of tracy chapman or the optimistic version of fiona apple. She sings her own words and plays her own instruments (some of them), I'm talking about Sara Bareilles (pronounced Burellis)! This is my favorite song of hers titled Vegas which is (I think) inspired by an old bad relationship of hers. Enjoy my debut post (and be nice to me)!
