Oh sure. It was called "Careless Whisper." Not sure why it's changed the name of it. I love George Michael's voice, but I'm not crazy about that song. I like Wham!'s song "Last Christmas," "Freedom," and "I'm Your Man." That was before I listened to the lyrics, although, I know the lyrics pretty well in "Last Christmas." The last one mentioned, well, it isn't really a very clean song.

"Careless Whisper" does sound a lot better of a name...

The other ones you noted I'll have to go through since I've not yet heard of them..

I really like George's solo album (used to have the cassette). One of my favorite songs of his is "One More Try." One of my all-time favorite songs is George and Aretha Franklin's duet "I Knew You Were Waiting."

Good ones definately

Don't worry. We'll listen for ya.

Yes indeed My mom told me last year when I was singing the song that she was sad at the fact that he was gay (and I believe "coming out") at the time of the song. But his music was still rocking

I'd never heard that song til now. How beautiful it is. Need to go back and listen more closely to catch all the lyrics.

Beautiful is indeed a good word for it.

He has the gift of song, and his voice is beautiful. This is the same for Elton John. He is very talented... has great songs, classics.

Can't say I really dig Elton John. The man had his best song with "Benny and the Jets"

Took me by surprise when he came out the closet in the 90s. I was like "Seriously, dude??!"

Some may not dig it - but when it comes to romance songs, I must say the 90s had some of the best hands down and Toni Braxton was amongst the best. Simple beats with guitar rips that flowed..

I used to like Toni, but lost interest in her voice and music some time ago.

I like many of Elton John songs, especially these:

Good picks..

Truthfully, I liked Billy Joel more than Elton John growing up.

Joel- Just the Way You Are

Toni's song "You Mean the World to Me," is the one I like the best of hers. I don't know. Haven't listened to her in years. Her voice got a bit too deep, especially in the unbreak my heart song. lol But she isn't a bad singer. I've just not listened to her in years.

Billy Joel. He's ok. My favorite of his is "Allentown" cause I like the music in it.

That's understandable. It did seem like her voice got a bit deeper over the years - although a lot of women have experienced that. The deepness of her voice seemed to show to me that she was in deep pain/passion. I've not really kept up with her CDs and all of her songs, although she is among the people I'd stop to listen to if I heard her on the radio station.

I think Annie Lennox's voice has gotten deeper in the past few years.

True. Some things you'd not expect with women tend to happen. Won't ever forget the family reunion I went to on my step-dad's side of the family and found out that one of my aunts had a thick mustache. Was tripped out at it (as she was in her 70s) - but a lot of people apparently have that.

LOL Some women with darker hair and from certain parts of the world (Mediterranean) have a bit of the mustaches going on.

Oh.....I didn't know on that. Well, at least it's a universal experience. Beauty in the eye of the beholder

What music is off-limits?

 

[Protoevangel]

I am not normally into the so called music genres often labeled indie-rock and dubstep. My daughters had me listen to these pieces by someone named Lindsey Stirling, and they are absolutely fantastic. I had to share.


This one is a cover of an Indie band called Imagine Dragons. She is playing with an a capella ensemble here, who are pretty amazing in their own right. This version is a thousand times better than the original.

... For some reason the second vid didn't want to display here, so I posted it in it's own post below.

This one is an original of Lindsey's. They call it dubstep, but the "bass" is in the background, and it's her violin that is the feature. This, I could listen to anytime.
