Song Challenge Day 12 - A Song From A Band You Hate

Band/Singer that I hate... First time I heard a song by this singer, I thought, who the hell is this? She sounds terrible! I hardly ever go to this extent when hearing a song. I like so much music that if I DON'T like someone, I usually just change the station without a second thought. As for this artist, I honestly hated it. I got some question marks on this when I posted it on my Facebook page, but to each his/her own, right???

Love her songs or hate them, don't even tell me she can sing, because she can't. Her songs are recorded with super auto-tune to her voice obviously in an attempt to mask her lack of vocal talent. Disagree if you want on if you like her songs, but don't try to tell me she has a good voice, because she doesn't.

Song Challenge Day 11 - A Song From Your Favorite Band

Well, of course my favorite all-time band is Queen. For this song selection, I'm going with a lesser known, but by no means any less a masterpiece than any other Queen hit. This song is so beautiful and poignant... I've heard it sung two ways - the original by Freddie himself and another by Brian May (heard it live with my own two ears back in 2006!) dedicated to Freddie. I will post both versions so you can enjoy them for yourself as I do.....


The first by Freddie, live from Wembley Stadium....



And second by Brian, dedicated to Freddie, the love of all our lives for the art of his music he gifted to the world....

Song Challenge Day 10 - A Song That Makes You Fall Asleep

Wow, I'm way off here.... took a long break! Well, back to the challenge. This category doesn't necessarily mean put you to sleep as in boring. I would take this as a song that you can completely relax to and feel it melt the day away and forget all your stresses. I went with an older song that really never gets old to me....
