Ashley McBryde Performs a Disney Classic With “Part of Your World”

Ashley McBryde recently performed in Orlando, and she totally got Disney with it.

As she should.

Check out her incredible performance of “Part of Your World” from the Disney classic “The Little Mermaid”:

@ashleymcbrydemusic When in Orlando, you MUST sing a #Disney song…specifically, you must sing something from The Little Mermaid. Thanks @Lynsey for capturing this video! #OnTour #TheLittleMermaid ♬ original sound – Ashley McBryde

How great was that, though?

Ok, so now I’m thinking that a Country covers album of Disney Classics sung by today’s Country stars should be a thing.

Ok, universe, I threw it out to ya, now go manifest!

Afroman “Hunter Got High”

I. Am. Dying.

Look, I try not to get too political, because honestly, what’s the point?

The whole system is messed up on both sides. So, it’s hard for me to get involved knowing there is real no right answer.

But there is something that I think EVERYONE can agree on: Hunter Biden is a complete hot mess express.

So much so that Afroman made a parody of his own hit song “Because I Got High” and turned it into the best song of the year so far.

Ladies and gentlemen… I present to you “Hunter Got High”!


Absolutely glorious, and already my week has been made, and it’s only Monday.

On a side note, I once went to an Afroman concert at Rick’s in Starkville, MS when I was in college.

I didn’t get high.

Missed opportunity, for sure.

Kelly Clarkson Covers Don Henley on “The Kelly Clarkson Show”

Ok, I’m kind of obsessed with Kelly Clarkson’s “Kellyoke” segment on “The Kelly Clarkson Show”.

I honestly don’t think there is anything that she can’t sing and make it as good or even better than the original.

The latest performance that caught my attention? Her cover of Don Henley’s “Heart of the Matter”.

Just… wow.

I’ve always loved that song, and Kelly added just the right amount of vocal gymnastics to make her version extra special.

Does she ever miss a note or go off pitch?  Is that just an scientific impossiblity for her?

Anyway, kudos to Kelly on this version of “Heart of the Matter”.  She really nailed this one to the floor.

Heart and Kelly Clarkson Perform on “The Kelly Clarkson Show”

Today is Kelly Clarkson’s 42nd Birthday, and she celebrated in a big way by having the iconic Rock duo Heart on her show today!

Holy Vocal-moly!

Is that a term? Well, it is now.

Kelly got to not only get some great stories from the rock and roll sisters, but also got to perform some of their biggest hits with them, which is you know Heart, you know Ann Wilson’s vocals are tough to cover.

But for Kelly Clarkson? Not a problem whatsoever.


Damn. That’s all I can say. I mean, how vocally spot on can you get?

Also, let’s be real. Ann sounds GREAT, especially considering that she’s in her seventies.

Get it, woman!

Oh, and Heart is on the road this year with Cheap Trick… info and dates here: https://www.heart-music.com/

 

Zac Brown Band Feat. Mac McAnally “Pirates and Parrots”

Last Fall, we lost the icon Jimmy Buffett, and since then, there have been so many fantastic tributes to the legend.

His music has touched so many lives over the decade, and his legacy will always go on.

The latest tribute that has me all in my feels is The Zac Brown Band’s “Pirates and Parrots” with Jimmy Buffett Coral Reefer bandmate and collaborator Mac McAnally:

Ok, I may have a little tear on my eye after that…

The Zac Brown Band have a busy year wih their joint tour with Kenny Chesney,

Full list of dates are at https://zacbrownband.com/
Bubbles up, ya’ll!

Simon and Garfunkel Take On “Baby Got Back”

Yayyyy! My favorite Youtube Channel “There I Ruined It” is back! They were banned for a few monhs on YouTube- some copyright thingy I think- but now it’s back, and gorgeously ruining songs again.

Like this version of “Baby Goy Back” in the style of Simon and Garfunkel

:


I’m not sure why I love these, but I do. And now this version will be stuck in my head for all eternity.

Seriously, if you need a good laugh, subscribe to https://www.youtube.com/@ThereIRuinedIt

You won’t be sad about it.

Kelly Clarkson Covers Chris Stapleton

Yes, I know I post a bunch of Kellyoke on here.

But seriously, Kelly Clarkson’s covers are one of the best things on the internet right now.

In case you’re new to the party, Kelly Clarkson has a daily talk show “The Kelly Clarkson Show” on NBC, and every day she does a segment called “Kellyoke” where she and her ridiculously good band cover a different song every day.

The latest to catch my fancy?

Kelly’s version of Chris Stapleton’s Grammy Award winning “White Horse”:


I’ve said it more than once, and I’ll say it again…

HOT. DAMN.

I don’t think there is anything this woman cannot sing.

Need further pro

Check out her YouTube channel, and enjoy going down the rabbit hole.

What should she cover next???

Judas Jackson “Billie Jean’s Got Another Thing Comin'”

I LOVE a good mash-up, and YouTuber Bill McClintok never fails to disappoint.

Enjoy his latest project- a mash-up of Judas Priest’s “You’ve Got Another Thing Comin'” and Michael Jackson’s “Billie Jean”:

Yep. That’s gonna be my jam all day.

Somehow, it works.

Tenacious D “Baby, One More Time”

Not gonna lie… I’ve been waiting for this all week!

Jack Black and Kyle Gass AKA Tenacious D had been teasing a cover of Britney Spears’s breakout hit “Baby, One More Time” on TikTok this week, and it went viral, because, I mean… how could it not?

Well, in honor of the “Kung Fu Panda 4” movie hitting theaters today (starring Jack Black) the full cover was released, and it’s perfection.

Also, peep Bryan Cranston and Dustin Hoffman in the video:

I feel like I needed this after this week.

 

New Kids on the Block “Kids”

Ahhhhh!  My childhood heart is so happy!

New Kids on the Block just announced their first new album in 11 years called “Still Kids” AND released the first single off of it called “Kids” and it’s seriously so much fun:


LOOOVVVEEEE!

So much nostalgia here. And as a 41-year old woman who is still, indeed, a kid, I totally relate!

I was obsessed with these guys as a kiddo. I had the bed sheets, the Donny Wahlberg keychain, the shirts… all the cheesy things!

Oh, and let’s not forget this glorious dance that I couldn’t stop doing in the first grade:

Reminds me of the skate nights in elementary school. Man, growing up in the late eighties/early nineties was THE BEST!!!!

“Still Kids” drops May 17th, and I hear a tour will follow?

You know I’ll keep ye posted.
