Let It Snow

There's a snow storm on it's way, so it is only necessary that songs about snow are mentioned.

"Let It Snow!  Let It Snow!  Let It Snow!" is one of the more popular songs about snow.  Snow is cold, but the song gives off a warm vibe with the topic of fires and a warm night in.  There are so many different renditions of the song including Michael Buble, but was first written by Sammy Cahn and composed by Jule Styne back in 1945.

Everyone knows "Frosty the Snowman."  Fairy tales, magic, and a snowman who is able to laugh are only a handful of things that make this song a lot of fun to listen to when the snow is falling outside your bedroom window.  But before the song was released with the TV short in 1969, it was written by Walter "Jack" Rollins and Steve Nelson and was recorded by Gene Autry and the Cass County Boys in 1950.

Hallelujah

I was watching old X Factor performances from both the X Factor UK and US.  I didn't watch X Factor US, but I remember how crazy people went for Carly Rose Sonenclar.  Her voice is incredible.  She was the runner-up in the second season of the show in 2012 but honestly deserved to be the winner.

In the live finals she performed "Hallelujah" and I get goosebumps every time I watch it.

Please tell me you did not get goosebumps watching that.  Flawless:  the word I will use to describe her talent.  She sounds absolutely perfect the whole three minutes.  Absolutely perfect.

Hot N Cold

I don't think I have ever spoken about Katy Perry on my blog.  So in honor of the beautiful singer, I'll give you all of her music videos.  Yeah, all of them.  Really.

Sk8er Boi

Please tell me you remember this song.  Avril Lavigne from 2002.  The album was Let Go which peaked at number 2 on the Billboard 200 in the US and sold over 14 million copies worldwide.

But the song "Sk8er Boi" was definitely one of my favorites off the album.  The lyrics are so simple but you learn so much about the boy and girl during the song.

He was a boy

She was a girl

Can I make it anymore obvious?

He was a punk.

She did ballet.

What more can I say?

He wanted her.

She'd never tell.

Secretly she wanted him as well.

And all of her friends

Stuck up their nose.

And they had a problem with his baggy clothes.

And then later:

Five years from now, she sits at home feeding the baby, she's all alone.

She turns on TV and guess who she sees?

Skater boy rockin' up MTV.

She calls up her friends.

They already know.

And they've all got tickets to see his show.

She tags along, stands in the crowd.

Looks up at the man that she turned down.

And the girl now wants to date him because he's famous...annoying.

Sorry, girl, but you missed out.

Well, tough luck, that boy's mine now.

We are more than just good friends.

This is how the story ends.

Too bad that you couldn't see...

See the man that boy could be.

There is more than meets the eye,

I see the soul that is inside.

And then Avril Lavigne has her moment of victory.

He's just a boy, and I'm just a girl.

Can I make it anymore obvious?

We are in love.

Haven't you heard how we rock each other's world?

I met the skater boy, I said, "See ya later, boy.

I'll be backstage after the show.

I'll be at the studio singing the song we wrote about a girl you used to know."

She ended up with the skater boy after that chick turned him down and wanted him back.  Avril is teaching a good lesson in one song's time.

Beyond My Wildest Dreams

I saw The Little Mermaid on Broadway two times.  I saw in in January 2008 and again on Easter the same year.  It was one of the greatest shows I had ever seen.  The cast was amazing, the set and costumes were phenomenal, and the songs were exceptional as always with Alan Menken, Glenn Slater, and Howard Ashman.

Sierra Boggess was a beautiful Princess Ariel and was a perfect match for the part and sat very well with the critics.  Her voice was incredible, just like Jodi Benson.  Sherie Rene Scott played the notorious sea witch Ursula and did fantastic as well.  The whole entire cast sounded flawless on the whole soundtrack, but those two stars are the ones who stood out the most to me.

My favorite song in the musical is "Beyond My Wildest Dreams" which Ariel sings in her mind due to her stolen voice.
