Bruno Mars and Lady Gaga Live in Vegas!

I am floored.

I mean, I already know that Bruno Mars and Lady Gaga are some of the best talents in the business, but this recent live performance in Las Vegas of their hit duet “Die With a Smile” is just wow.

Like really, really, wow.

It is so rare for artists to sound as good or better than they do on a recording, but Bruno and Gaga just proved why they are still relevant and some of the absolute BEST out there.

Bruno is currently at the Dolby Live in Las Vegas, where he is in residency.

Also, I think we need a collaborative album with these two, don’t you think?

Oh, and just for comparison, here is the recorded version:

Again, WOW.

 

Postmodern Jukebox “Good Luck Babe”

I’m just a little obsessed with Postmodern Jukebox and the amazing covers and reimagining of popular songs in a vintage style.

Their latest offering?

A take on the wildly popular Pop song “Good Luck, Babe” by one of this year’s breakout stars Chappell Roan in the style of the late Lesley Gore.

It’s prety dang fantastic, and Tatum Langley KILLS it on the vocals.

Enjoy:


LOOOOOVVEEEE!

Seriously, everyone in this group is insanely talented, and I’m gonna jump down the rabbit hole once again instead of doing things I actually should be doing, like dishes.

Jelly Roll and Kelly Clarkson “I Am Not Ok”

 

This is SO good!

Jelly Roll was on the “Kelly Clarkson Show” earlier today, and they performed his latest hit on Country Radio “I Am Not Ok” together with Kelly on the back-up vocals, and it just took it to a whole new level.

Seriously, though. Kelly just makes everything EVEN better.

Her voice is just on a whole different plane than most humans.

Also, Jelly Roll has a new album out featuring the song you just heard and 22 other songs. It’s called, “Beautifully Broken”, and came out last week.

I still have chill bumps from that performance, how about you?

If Iron Maiden Covered ABBA’s “Dancing Queen”

I love stuff like this.

Another favorite creator of mine is Moonic Productions, and he’s always doing random mash-ups that shouldn’ work, but they do.

Like this version of ABBA’s “Dancing Queen” in the style of Iron Maiden.

Brilliant.


Don’t lie. You were totally rocking out to that.

Baby Got Back/Hallelujah

My maturity level is clearly not where it needs to be, and that’s totally ok.

One of my favorite creators- “There I Ruined It”- just put out another slice of AI heaven.

Was it wrong to combine these two classics?

Probably.

But somehow, I am ok with this.

Annnnd now this version will be stuck in my head for the rest pf the day.

Happy Monday!

Kelly Clarkson and Miranda Lambert Cover Chappell Roan!

The “Kelly Clarkson Show” is back on NBC for the 6th season, and Miranda Lambert was one of the guests this morning, and Kelly and Miranda did an acoustic version of the Chappell Roan smash “Good Luck Babe”, and it totally killed:


Ok, can we get a full-on recorded version of that?

Their voices mesh so well, and it’s just a cool take on that song.

In case you have been on another planet this Summer, here’s the OG:

 

There’s no official music video for the song, which is annoying. BUT this live version on Jimmy Fallon from this past Summer is almost as good:


Yeah, pretty sure Chappell Roan isn’t going anywhere for a while.

Also, I can’t wait for more great covers from Kelly Clarkson this season!

You know I’ll be sharing my favorites.

 

 

The Eagles Opening Weekend at The Sphere in Las Vegas!

This past weekend, The Eagles had their opening weekend at The Sphere in Las Vegas, and it looks absolutely spectacular.

I mean, I knew it would be incredible, but from the looks of these videos from the fans that were there, it seems that The Eagles outdid themselves.

Not do The Eagles sound incredible, as they always do, but the visual experience that The Sphere can provide as a venue is just next level.

Here are some of the videos I found.

Enjoy:

“Hotel California”:

 

“Desperado”:

 

“Life’s Been Good”:

I absolutely ADORE Joe Walsh!
“Take it Easy”:

“Life in the Fast Lane::

 

And one of my personal favorites, “One of These Nights”:

How great do they sound, though???

Those harmonies never miss.

It looks like this show is worth the $300+ per ticket.

The Eagles will be at The Sphere through December 14th, and you can get more info here:Ā https://www.thesphere.com/shows/eagles

The Harvard Opportunes “Beyonce Medley”

Sheesh.

Talk about talent!

The Harvard Opportunes- the A Cappella group at, of course, Harvard is one of my favorite things this year.

I mean, yeah, it’s Harvard, so of course, the talent will be next level… these are some of the best vocalists in the country, and you’ll see what I mean after this recent Beyonce medley that they performed:


Woah. Seriously, I am so impressed.

I have always loved a cappella groups, as it’s really a special skill to be able to not only sing, but provide vocal instrumentation as well.

The Harvard Opportunes have my heart.

Kelsea Ballerini “Sorry Mom”

I’m going to be honest. I wasn’t really feeling Kelsea Ballerini when she first came out with her debut single “Love You Like You Mean It” in 2015.Ā  Of course, that was when Bro/Pop Country was at it peak.Ā  With songs like “Love Me Like You Mean It” and “Hey, Boy”, I was underwhelmed. But Kelsea has really grown so much as an artist and songwriter, and her latest release “Sorry Mom” shows how far she has come:


As someone who has a really close relationship with her mother, and who has done some dumb things that I know she didn’t approve of, this song is something I can truly relate to. And I know so many other women (and I’m sure men, too) will relate. After this and her collab with Noah Kahn “Cowboys Cry Too”, I’m really excited to see what she has in store for us on her upcoming album “Patterns” out October 25th.
