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: 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.  Of course, that was when Bro/Pop Country was at it peak.  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.

Conway Fiddy “In Da Club”

You know what makes everything better?

Conway Fiddy.

For those who don’t get the joke, I’m sorry.

Just google it, because I’m too lazy this morning to explain it.

Anyhow, one of my favorite content creators “There I Ruined It” has released this glorious gem:

Sure to be  a classic.

I mean, let’s be real, Conway Twitty would have been all OVER this if he were still here. He does have some real panty droppers in his catalog, so I feel that he would approve.

Post Malone’s First-Ever Release!

Post Malone is inarguably one of the biggest stars in the world right now, and he’s about to take over Country music even more when his album “F-1 Trillion” drops on August 16th.

He’s already dominated Hip Hop, Pop and  Adult Contemporary… but what was his actual first release?

Ummm… this:


No, I’m not even kidding.

To be fair, it was for a high school art class project, and I’m sure he was just being funny. And he got an “A”, so there’s that.

Also, Post Malone was Leon Dechino at the time… but clearly, the alter ego didn’t stick.

I really can’t imagine why.

Hey, we all have to start somewhere right?

 

Ether way, Post Malone is continuing to dominate, and sorry haters, it doesn’t look like that’s going to stop anytime soon.

Oh, and in case you missed it, Post Malone’s tracklist for “F 1 Trillion” was accidentally leaked by Target, and it’s prety damn stellar… we’re talking Dolly Parton, Chris Stapleton, Lainey Wilson, Hank Williams Jr., Tim McGraw, Brad Paisley and more.

Sadly, “Why Don’t You Love Me” won’t be making a comeback on the album.

Maybe next time.

 

Are These The Best Song of the 90’s?

It happens every few years.

Some major publication comes up with a list of the “Best Songs of (Insert) Decade”, and people aregue over it.

The latest to partake is “Equire”, with their list of “The Best Songs of the 90’s”.

Not really sure what they’re basing it on… opinion, I guess?

Anyhow, here’s the Top 10 “Best Songs of the 90’s” according to “Esquire”:

 

1.  “Smells Like Teen Spirit”,  Nirvana

 

2.  “Fantasy (Remix)”,  Mariah Carey

 

3.  “Nuthin’ But a ‘G’ Thang”,  Dr. Dre and Snoop Dogg

 

4.  “[Eff] and Run”,  Liz Phair

 

5.  “Around the World”,  Daft Punk

 

6.  “Cannonball”,  The Breeders

 

7.  “Supa Dupa Fly”,  Missy Elliott

 

8.  “Rebel Girl”,  Bikini Kill

 

9.  “Sabotage”,  Beastie Boys

 

10.  “Only Shallow”,  My Bloody Valentine

 

Check out the rest here:https://www.esquire.com/entertainment/music/g61592643/best-90s-songs/?source=nl&date=072324&GID=f5a98775fb7c088678716c2ff6f4e07cf83465403aba12c8dee16ba2ca6ed1f8&utm_source=fark&utm_medium=website&utm_content=link&ICID=ref_fark

Now, obviously, “Smells Like Team Spirit” is #1, because it literally defined a generation.

But the rest of the Top 10? “Wonderwall” is great, but the others don’t hit me as Top 10 material. I’d definitely have “You Oughta Know” by Alanis Morissette in the Top 10 for sure, as well as “Just a Girl” by No Doubt and “Killing Me Softly” by The Fugees.

Then again, those songs defined the 90’s for me.

That’s what’s so great about music- it’s personal, and everyone experiences it differently.

 

What do YOU think the “Best” Song of the 90’s is?

Taylor Swift Releases Acoustic Version of “Fortnight”

Taylor Swift is unstoppable.

Her latest album “The Tourtured Poets Department” is spending it’s 11th week at #1 on the Billboard 200 chart, with millions of copies of sold so far. Some people are complaining that she keeps releasing different versions of her album to keep the top spot, but so what? People are buying it. That just makes Taylor one hell of a business woman, which we already knew that.

Taylor also just released an acoustic version of her latest single “Fortnight” featuring Post Malone, and it’s just as hauntingly pretty as the original:


Damn, that song is such a mood.

Woman is unstoppable, and sorry haters, you’re gonna see a hell of a lot of her at the Chiefs games this Fall, as she and the NFL have made the schedules so that she could attend as many Chiefs games as possible to cheer on her boyfriend Travis Kelce.

Never underestimate the power of Taylor Swift!
