five amazing artiest

I love music. it keeps my heart beating. so I have decided to have a list my dear readers of artiest that I am listing to extra hard this week. below are the top five. this does not mean, however, that it is a top five for best vocals or top five of all time, it's just top five of the week that I think you should know about and listen to as well. enjoy!
Obvious disclaimer that I do not own any of these songs :)
5. Madonna.
The idol. The Legend. The women. Madonna is amazing and is still going strong. This women deserves' to be on this list for reasons that I don't need to speak for. Her body of work speaks for herself. The Madonna that I like to listen to however is one of the past. Old songs such as "Like a prayer" or "Like a virgin" are the ones that got her to where she is today, and still ring a bell with those young and old. Below is a video to her song, "papa dont preach, and a rendition that Kelly Osbourne did.


2. Sweet honey in the rock.
An amazing women group. If you have never heard of them then I am truly sorry,but never fear, your life will get a little bit better after this article. African american group accepella group started in the 70's. One of my favorite songs by them below, makes me want to smile and cry at the same time. Listen and be amazed

4. Hope.
The one thing good about myspace, or the one thing good that i discovered through it were amazing artists. Some already well known, some not, and some on the way to it. This artist Hope, is one of them. She has done some gigs since my days at myspace, but the song that lead me to her was, "Rain don't last." listen below.:

3.Lady gaga.
I know may of you were thinking that she would be my number one! but, as good as she might be, no one can beat the vocals of x tina and Adele. However, gaga has fought her way rightfully in this spot. For those who know me, they know that I am an eclectic person; and I can remember the first day i heard gaga: it was during a miss world pageant and I was texting one of my friends, " I like the singer, she's cool" and she (my friend) was responded, " lol she's weird." The rest is history. I like gaga because she is eclectic like me but has the courage to do what she what she wants and has a passion for, and better yet, do it full time. Rather than show a music video, I will show one of my favorite interviews of her. Below is part one of 5. Eight minutes into the interview she says, I wasn't famous when i wrote this record, I was eating shit in the industry."

2. Christina Aguilera
Christina Aguilera, x tina, or what you will will be a legend. I knew that once I heard her voice the very fist time. In those days new artists were type casted by their producers, and Christina did not want to put out genie in a bottle first, but something more soulful. But those faithful fans like me, could tell that from the beginning, even through this "pop song," she had amazing soul. I could write a blog about just her, or her music, style, how, and how she, has way for new comers including my fav, lady gaga, look at her out their styles, her whole album stripped, her song dirty, her campaigns, etc. but I'll let her music speak for itself. listen to her acoustic version of come on over. Amazing!

1. Adell
This amazing Britt has a voice of an angel and a fiery personality. Her first album 19 was pure gold, and moved my soul. one of my favorite songs by her is home town glory. Even though she is talking about her home town, it makes me proud of everyplace I am from, and think about those memories and the events that shaped me!

This is not an exhaustive list my dear readers. I Just wanted you to know a little bit more about some amazing artiest and songs that i personally love from them. Hope you enjoy!
