I KNOW IT'S SO CLICHE' TO SAY "EVERYTHING" BUT I REALLY DO. YEP I'LL EVEN GET DOWN TO SOME COUNTRY IF I'M IN THE RIGHT MOOD. I LOVE ALOT OF OLD MUSIC. I FEEL LIKE EVERYTHING THAT IS POPULAR TODAY WILL NOT BE WORTH REMEMBERING NEXT WEEK AND SO I LISTEN TO A LOT OF OLD MUSIC AND I PLAY THE PIANO. I TOOK LESSONS WHEN I WAS A KIDS BUT THE MOST I'VE LEARNED IS BY MYSELF. IF I LISTEN TO ANYTHING ONCE I CAN FIGURE OUT HOW TO PLAY IT. I REALLY WANT A BABY GRAND PIANO! 1. ELVIS PRESLEY (NOW HIS PLACE ON THE LIST IS AND WILL ALWAYS BE PERMANENT! HE IS THE KING. I DON’T GO THOUGH A SINGLE DAY WITHOUT PLAYING AN ELVIS SONG. I SPEND HOURS WATCHING HIM ON YOUTUBE FROM MY APPLE I TOUCH IN BED BEFORE I GO TO SLEEP. I’M IN LOVE WITH THAT MAN.) 2. REGINE VELASQUEZ (SHE’S A SINGER FROM THE PHILIPPINES WITH ONE OF THE GREATEST VOICES. I’VE NEVER HEARD ANYTHING LIKE IT. SHE CAN TAKE ANY BALLAD AND SING IT BETTER. GOT HIGH NOTES? OH HELL YEAH SHE’LL HIT THEM LIKE IT’S NOTHING. IT GIVES ME CHILLS SOMETIMES. ) 3. THE CARPENTERS (WOW. WELL I JUST LOVE A LOT OF THE SONGS AND KAREN CARPENTER’S VOICE MAY HAVE BEEN THE MOST PERFECT IN THE WORLD. WHAT SWEET SONGS! SINGING BURT BACHARACH’S “CLOSE TO YOU" MAKES ME SWOON BUT THEN AGAIN I LOVE A LOT OF BURT BACHARACH’S SONGS TOO.) 4. BARRY MANILOW (ANOTHER ONE WITH GREAT GREAT SONGS. I GREW UP PLAYING SONGS BY BARRY MANILOW AND THE CARPENTERS ON THE PIANO.) 5. PRINCE (HE’S JUST A BAD LITTLE MOTHERF*CKER! PROBABLY MY HEIGHT BUT DAMN HE’S AWESOME. I DON’T CARE WHAT ANYBODY SAYS. I MEAN WHO CAN GET AWAY WITH WHAT HE DOES? WHAT A FREAKIN’ GENIUS. ) 6. JANET JACKSON (WHEN “THAT’S THE WAY LOVE GOES” ON THEN EVERYTHING ELSE STOPS. I LOVE JANET JACKSON FROM THE 80S AND 90S. SHE JUST KNEW HOW TO GET DOWN YOU KNOW. BLACK CAT, WHAT HAVE YOU DONE FOR ME LATELY., NASTY, ESCAPADE, LOVE WILL NEVER DO WITHOUT YOU. ) 7. ELTON JOHN (HE ROCKS, NEED I SAY MORE?) 8. BEYONCE (SHE’S COOL ALL AROUND. GREAT VOICE AND THEN YOU MIX IT UP WITH HIP HOP THROW HER BOOTYLICIOUS SELF IN A VIDEO AND GOD DAMN. SHE’S REALLY INTO HER CRAFT TOO AND THAT’S WHAT I LIKE ABOUT HER. WHEN YOU SEE HER PERFORM THERE IS NO HOLDING BACK. GORGEOUS. I LOVE HER STYLE, HER HAIR, HER MAKE-UP.) 9. MADONNA (80S AND 90S MADONNA WAS THE BEST! I DON’T LISTEN TO ANY OF HER NEW STUFF. EVEN IF YOU DON’T LIKE HER I KNOW YOU KNOW THAT IF “LIKE A VIRGIN” OR “LUCKY STAR” COMES ON YOU’RE SINGING AND THEN “HUMAN NATURE” AND JUSTIFY MY LOVE…MADONNA WAS GANGSTA. ONE OF MY FAVORITES IS “TAKE A BOW” BECAUSE IT SOUNDS LIKE A LULLABY. ) 10. MARIAH CAREY (YOU KNOW THE FIRST CASSETTE TAPE I EVER HAD WAS WHITNEY HOUSTON’S. I WAS LIKE 5 YEARS OLD AND BELTING IT OUT ALONG WITH THIS TAPE SO I REALLY GRAVITATED TOWARDS POWERFUL SONGS AND VOICES AND SO I THINK THE FIRST CASSETTE TAPE I ACTUALLY BOUGHT FOR MYSELF WAS MARIAH CAREY BUT THIS IS WAAAY BACK WHEN SHE ACTUALLY SANG. I DON’T KNOW WHY SHE’S LOST IT NOW BUT IT’S OKAY BECAUSE I’M STILL BLASTING THOSE OLD HITS. ) HONORABLE MENTIONS IN NO PARTICULAR ORDER REALLY 11. HEART: (FANTASTIC LIVE!!!!) 12. SADE: (IF I’M REALLY PISSED, POPPING SOME SADE ON CAN CURB MY CURSE OUT LASH.) 13. NINA (FILIPINA SINGER. I CAN PLAY “NINA LIVE” STRAIGHT THROUGH OVER AND OVER AGAIN) 14. JAY Z: 99 PROBLEMS BUT A B**** AIN’T ONE! I LOVE ME SOME JIGGA MAN. WOW. AND HE’S DATING BEYONCE! THAT’S A MARRIAGE MADE IN HIP HOP HEAVEN. HOW FABULOUS. 15. GEORGE MICHAEL DOESN’T QUITE MAKE MY LIST BUT I’M CRAZY ABOUT “CARELESS WHISPER.” 16. GLEN CAMPBELL (HE’S NOT AS COUNTRY AS YOU THINK. HE’S PRETTY BAD ASS) 17. BURT BACHARACH (GENIUS! HIS SONGS ARE SO HARD TO PLAY ON THE PIANO) 18. MICHEL LEGRAND (I WON’T EVEN ATTEMPT TO PLAY PIANO LIKE HIM, JUST LISTENING IS FINE)
