Music Videos over the internet
We’re down to the pointy end of things on American Idol, with just three contestants remaining. Who’s going to take it out this year? My money’s on the passionate rock god, David Cook.
David manages to deliver consistently brilliant but incredibly eclectic performances. You just never know what you’re going to get. This week it was a little Roberta Flack, as selected by notoriously nasty judge Simon Cowell.
It’s Mothers’ Day, a special day where we celebrate the women who gave us life, helped us with our homework, put up with our teenage angst, did all the chores we were too lazy to do, and loved us through it all.
So there seemed like no better time to post this video from 80s action hero Mr T. In it he raps to remind us all to treat our mothers right.
No, of course I don’t think you have too much time on your hands. I would never say anything like that…
It’s always entertaining to watch Indians dancing, but what about the actual lyrics they are singing? YouTube user Buffalax has graciously added his own transliteration of various Indian music videos, this being one of them.
Think of this as a sequel to the Indian Thriller.
I can’t believe we’ve reached the top four of American Idol, and I still haven’t talked about Syesha Mercado. She’s delivered consistent performances every week, yet she’s always been outshone by someone a little gutsier.
But not this week. It takes a strong singer to even attempt Tina Turner’s Proud Mary, but she delivered it with just the right amount of oomph.
My husband, a major sci fi nerd, has always insisted I’m not a real Star Wars fan because I love the Ewoks. So I was thrilled to find this video that echoes my views in song. Face it, Ewoks rock.
Michael Jackson seems to be the new man to impersonate. We’ve already seen a group of prisoners and a walrus dancing to his stuff, but this is even better.
What starts off as a bit of a lame impersonation turns in to something brilliant, and highly original once an Indian guy comes on and turns it in to a Bhangra mash-up.
This guy isn’t just good at playing the piano, he’s very good. And he proves it here by doing a brilliant cover of Smells Like Teen Spirit by Grunge Rock Gods Nirvana.
He has the original song playing in the background, but totally dominates with his amazing piano playing skills.
This week the American Idols needed to sing not one, but two, Neil Diamond songs. But it didn’t seem to phase David Cook, who gave two stellar performances. It was tough to choose, but I decided to show you his take on All I Really Need Is You.
