Songs For Singing Along (Zoe)

Songs For Singing Along (Zoe) One of my all time favorite activities of absolutely ever (say that 5 times fast) is singing along to songs. I sing loudly, with deep feeling. I sing with interpretive dance moves. I sing with great abandon, and rarely in tune. And I encourage everyone to do so as well; it just makes you feel better, no matter what. For those of you who may be shy, I present to you my top three fool-proof sing along list. If you can resist these songs, then our friendship probably wasn't meant to be. : Paul Simon - You Can [...]

King Kong, Hippie Empowerment And The Towers*

King Kong, Hippie Empowerment And The Towers* Happening across the movie King Kong on cable the other night, something occurred to me - it might have been the most influential movie of my childhood. I’d seen the original version watching it on the late, late show when I slept over at a friend’s house in second grade. Not long after, the hype began for the remake. It was nothing compared to the hullabaloo for some movies now – no cable, no internet – but it seemed to begin a year before and the scope and duration was something I’d never seen [...]

Something I Heard Today Elton John – Rocket Man (I Think It’s Going to Be a Long, Long Time)

Something I Heard Today  Elton John – Rocket Man (I Think It’s Going to Be a Long, Long Time) Some say that Elton John's music is fairly recognisable, and I would agree with that. However, that's not necessarily a bad thing: if an artist is good enough to have such a bold identity that's recognised in all their music, then surely that's a testament to their talent. This is one of his most iconic songs, and a sure fire demonstration of what an indelible combination his voice and piano are. Let's not forget that slide guitar either, and the back up vocals and... aw heck, its brilliant. Rocket Man by [...]

Candle in the wind: 15 anni fa moriva Lady Diana

Era il 31 agosto e il mondo intero era rimasto senza parole per la tragica notizia della morte di Lady Diana, a causa di un incidente stradale.

Tutti questi temi hanno accompagnato i mesi a seguire e ancora oggi la scomparsa della Principessa triste è ricordata con amarezza, soprattutto dal popolo inglese che tanto l'amava. E, in occasione del funerale di Diana, Elton John ha riadattato il testo di "Candle in the wind", creato nel 1973 . Il brano, nel mondo, ha superato i 40 milioni [...]

Ryan Seacrest Earned More Than Britney Spears Last Year, Says ‘Forbes’

Ryan Seacrest Earned More Than Britney Spears Last Year, Says ‘Forbes’ You might assume the likes of Lady Gaga and Katy Perry would easily land high on Forbes ' annual list of Highest-Paid Celebrities, given their tireless stream of hits flowing into the market. But not so, says the publication. In fact, the music mover, shaker and earner who landed highest on the roundup (at #5) is a 47-year-old rap veteran whose last LP was released in 1999 — and that would be Dr. Dre .

Madonna dedica "Masterpiece" ad Elton John (video)

MADONNA dedicates song to ELTON JOHN in NICE, FRANCE!
Non vuole proprio finire questa diatriba fra Madonna ed Elton John . Il nuovo gancio destro, seppur con grazia, eleganza e finezza, lo sferra Miss Ciccone che durante un suo recente concerto dedica al cantante inglese un pezzo della bellissima "Masterpiece" introducendolo con le seguenti parole: "Vorrei dedicare questa canzone ad Elton John. So che lui è un grande fan della canzone, e so che è anche un grande fan della sottoscritta E sai una cosa? Io ti perdono!". Ed è proprio "Masterpiece" la causa di [...]

Watch Madonna Pretend To Forgive Elton John

Watch Madonna Pretend To Forgive Elton John Madonna appeared to close the book on her long-standing feud with Sir Elton John at her recent concert in Nice, France. Responding to Elton's name-calling in early August — he panned her as a "fairground stripper" in an interview for Australian TV — Madonna dedicated a song to the Crocodile Rocker, telling the audience: "... I know he's a fan of mine, and you know what? I forgive him." The Material Girl then broke into "Masterpiece" — her Golden Globe-winning song that beat Elton's own  [...]

There Goes Kate Bush, Running up That Hill (Again).... to Big Boi?

There Goes Kate Bush, Running up That Hill (Again).... to Big Boi? Kate Bush perplexes me. Not just because I still have absolutely no idea what my favorite song by her, 1982's "The Dreaming," is about. Nor is it just because she hasn't toured since 1979, is rarely photographed in public, and takes forever-and-a-day breaks between studio albums then releases two in one year (2011's Director's Cut and 50 Words for Snow ). It's all of the above and more, including her no-show at the closing ceremony of the 2012 Summer Olympics . I was bewildered and thoroughly disappointed when I heard that Bush, who [...]

Burning Question: Did the Year of Charlie Sheen Teach Celebrities Nothing?

Burning Question: Did the Year of Charlie Sheen Teach Celebrities Nothing? Lately I find myself wishing upon a star that we could return to the good old days of the silent-film era when they (those shining stars) were seen and not heard (or read) quite so much. Not because I thought The Artist was such a great movie (although it was), but for their own good. Think of how much worse George Valentin would have had it if the world had been able to hear him. Would his portrayer, Jean Dujardin, have won the Best Actor Oscar over George Clooney and Brad Pitt if we could have heard him [...]
