SHAKIRA - WHENEVER, WHEREVER
Extensive touring to support Laundry Service led to a long break for the singer, so a remix collection (2002's Laundry Service: Washed and Dried) and a live album (2004's Live Off the Record) appeared in lieu of a new album. Revitalized,
Shakira began the writing process for her next release and soon had 60 songs ready to go, some in English, some in Spanish. Twenty of the songs were selected and divided up by language to make two different albums. Both appeared in 2005 and both hit the Top Ten, with the Spanish-language album Fijacion Oral, Vol. 1 leading the way in June with a number four placing and the English-language album, Oral Fixation, Vol. 2, following in November at number five. As sales of Oral Fixation began to slow in early 2006, Epic reissued the album in March with a bonus track, "Hip Don't Lie." The newly recorded song went on to top the Billboard Hot 100 chart in June, becoming one of the summer's biggest hits and reviving sales of Oral Fixation as well as Shakira's entire back catalog.

Shakira, Gloria Estefan
Lucky you were born that far away so
So we could both make fun of distance
Lucky that I love a foreign land for
The lucky fact of your existence
Baby I would climb the Andes solely
To count the freckles on your body
Never could imagine there were only
Ten million ways to love somebody
Le do le le le le, Le do le le le le
Can't you see...I'm at your feet
Whenever, wherever
We're meant to be together
I'll be there and you'll be near
And that's the deal my dear
There over, hereunder
You'll never have to wonder
We can always play by ear
and that's the deal my dear
Lucky that my lips not only mumble
They spill kisses like a fountain
Lucky that my breasts are small and humble
So you don't confuse them with mountains
Lucky I have strong legs like my mother
To run for cover when I need it
And these two eyes that for no other
The day you leave will cry a river
Le do le le le le, Le do le le le le
At your feet...I'm at your feet
Whenever, Wherever
We're meant to be together
I'll be there and you'll be near
And that's the deal my dear
There over, Hereunder
You'll never have to wonder
We can always play by ear
But that's the deal my dear
Le do le le le le, Le do le le le le
Think out load, say it again
Le do le le le le
Tell me one more time
That you'll live
Lost in my eyes
Whenever, wherever
We're meant to be together
I'll be there and you'll be near
And that's the deal my dear
There over, Hereunder
You've got me head over heels
There's nothing left to fear
If you really feel the way I feel
Whenever, wherever
We're meant to be together
I'll be there and you'll be near
And that's the deal my dear
There over, Hereunder
You've got me head over heels
There's nothing left to fear
If you really feel the way I feel
THE CRANBERRIES - LINGER
Their song made my high school! The sweet Dolores' voice was the official soundtrack of my teen years...
Led by vocalist
Dolores O'Riordan, whose keening, powerful voice is the most distinctive element of the group's sound, the group initially made little impact in the United Kingdom. It wasn't until the lush ballad "Linger" became an American hit in 1993 that the band also achieved mass success in the U.K. Following the success of "Linger," the Cranberries quickly became international stars, as both their 1993 debut album, Everybody Else Is Doing It, So Why Can't We, and its 1994 follow-up, No Need to Argue, sold millions of copies and produced a string of hit singles.

Linger
The Cranberries
If you, if you could return
Don't let it burn, don't let it fade
I'm sure I won't be rude
But it's just your attitude
It's tearing me apart
It's ruining everything
I swore, I swore I would be true
And honey so did you
So why were you holding her hand
Is that the way we stand
Were you lying all the time
Was it just a game to you
But I'm in so deep
You know I'm such a fool for you
You've got me wrapped around your finger
Do you have to let it linger
Do you have to, do you have to
Do you have to let it linger
Oh, I thought the world of you
I thought nothing could go wrong
But I was wrong, I was wrong
If you, if you could get by
Trying not to lie
Things wouldn't be so confused
And I wouldn't feel so used
But you always really knew
I just wanna be with you
And I'm in so deep
You know I'm such a fool for you
You've got me wrapped around your finger
Do you have to let it linger
Do you have to, do you have to
Do you have to let it linger
And I'm in so deep
You know I'm such a fool for you
You've got me wrapped around your finger
Do you have to let it linger
Do you have to, do you have to
Do you have to let it linger
You know I'm such a fool for you
You've got me wrapped around your finger
Do you have to let it linger
Do you have to, do you have to
Do you have to let it linger
ELVIS PRESLEY - DON'T BE CRUEL
Remembering Elvis' Concert In Dayton - 30th Anniversary Feature
Thirty years ago, Elvis Presley performed at the University of Dayton Arena. It was his fourth show at the arena, and unknown to the fans, it would be his last show there. The lights went down, and the theme from the movie 2001: A Space Odyssey started to play — and the 13,750 fans at the University of Dayton Arena came to their feet.

Elvis Presley
You know I can be found,
sitting home all alone,
If you can't come around,
at least please telephone.
Don't be cruel to a heart that's true.
Baby, if I made you mad
for something I might have said,
Please, let's forget the past,
the future looks bright ahead,
Don't be cruel to a heart that's true.
I don't want no other love,
Baby it's just you I'm thinking of.
Don't stop thinking of me,
don't make me feel this way,
Come on over here and love me,
you know what I want you to say.
Don't be cruel to a heart that's true.
Why should we be apart?
I really love you baby, cross my heart.
Let's walk up to the preacher
and let us say I do,
Then you'll know you'll have me,
and I'll know that I'll have you,
Don't be cruel to a heart that's true.
I don't want no other love,
Baby it's just you I'm thinking of.
Don't be cruel to a heart that's true.
Don't be cruel to a heart that's true.
I don't want no other love,
Baby it's just you I'm thinking of.
GEORGE MICHAEL, DESAFINADO...
This song is so beautiful that you just push play and enjoy it endlessly
I present to you
George Michael and one of his classics: Desafinado, featuring
Astrud Gilberto.
The "Desafinado" duet with George Michael, in the Fall of 1996 included on the "Red Hot & Rio" album, gained international attention, and exposed the Bossa Nova style to a large number of Pop music fans. "Desafinado" has also been included on George Michael's 1999 release "Ladies and Gentlemen, The Best of George Michael".
George Michael (Featuring Astrud Gilberto)
George:
Se voce disser que eu desafino amor
Saiba que isto em mim provoca imensa dor
So privilegiados tem o ouvido igual ao seu
Eu possuo apenas o que Deus me deu
Astrud:
Se voce insiste em classificar
O meu comportamento de anti-musical
Eu mesmo mentindo devo argumentar:
George and Astrud:
Que isso e Bossa Nova, que isso e muito natural
O que voce nao sabe nem sequer pressente
E que os desafinados tambem tem um coracao
George:
Fotografei voce na minha Rolley-Flex
Revelou-se a sua enorme ingratidao
So nao podera falar assim do meu amor
Astrud and George:
Ele e o maior que voce pode encontrar
Voce com a sua musica esqueceu o principal:
Que no peito dos desafinados
No fundo do peito bate calado
No peito dos desafinados
Tambem bate um coracao
***
Lyrics in English
If you say my singing is off key, my love
You would hurt my feelings, don't you see, my love ?
I wish I had an ear like yours,
A voice that would behave
All I have is feeling
And the voice God gave
You insist my music goes against the rules
Yes, but rules were never made for lovesick fools
I wrote this song for you
But you don't care
It's a crooked song, ah,
But my heart is there
The thing that you would see if you would play the part
Is even if I'm out of tune I have a gentle heart
I took your picture with my trusty Rolliflex
And now all I have developed is complex
Possibly in vain, I hope you weaken, oh my love
And forget those rigid rules that undermine my dream of
A life of love and music with someone who'll understand
That even though I may be out of tune when I attempt to say
How much I love you
And all that matters is the message that I bring,
Which is: my dear one, I love you

Juanes (Featuring Nelly Furtado)
Juanes:
Cada vez que yo me voy llevo a un lado de mi piel
Tus fotografias para verlas cada vez
Que tu ausencia me devora entero el corazon
Y yo no tengo remedio mas que amarte
Juanes and Nelly:
Y en la distancia te puedo ver
Cuando tus fotos me siento a ver
Y en las estrellas tus ojos ver
Cuando tus fotos me siento a ver
Cada vez que te busco te vas
Y cada vez que te llamo no estas
Es por eso que debo decir que tu solo en mis fotos estas
Nelly:
Cuando hay un abismo desnudo
Que se opone entre los dos
Yo me valgo del recuerdo Taciturno de tu voz
Y de nuevo siento enfermo este corazon
Que no le queda remedio mas que amarte
Juanes and Nelly:
Y en la distancia te puedo ver
Cuando tus fotos me siento a ver
Y en las estrellas tus ojos ver
Cuando tus fotos me siento a ver
Cada vez que te busco te vas
Y cada vez que te llamo no estas
Es por eso que debo decir que tu solo en mis fotos estas

Rihanna rocks!!!
Rihanna is indeed living a real life Cinderella story. "If I hadn't met Evan and Carl I might have just been dreaming forever," she muses. "I am so thankful for everything they’ve done for me." Soon the whole world will be giving both Rihanna and her producers thanks.
There's nothing like the warm spirit of the Caribbean to re-energize a dry, stale season of the same old song and dance. And with summer fast approaching there couldn't be a better time for Barbados-born singer Rihanna to break into an industry that is eager to celebrate the next big thing. Thanks to multi-platinum island-born superstars like Sean Paul, Shaggy and Elephant Man, the mainstream has been primed for a rhythmic female star to step into the forefront of popular music.
Besides ripping traditional reggae tracks like a seasoned dancehall queen, the stunning 17-year-old Rihanna possesses a powerful singing voice that conjures up feelings and experiences way beyond her years. It's no wonder that all it took was a quick audition with Shawn “Jay-Z” Carter, President and CEO of Def Jam Recordings, for the green-eyed beauty to solidify a recording contract with the multi-million dollar record company. While that performance ended up changing her life forever, the sweet natured island girl laughs at her own naiveté at the time. "I was in the lobby shaking!," remembers Rihanna with a healthy dose of her Bajan accent hanging onto every one of her words. "I saw just a little bit of Jay's face down the hall and I was just like, 'Oh my God!' I had never met a celebrity, and to meet a celebrity who's also the president of the label, that was crazy!!"
Luckily Rihanna was able to shake the jitters as soon as she started her impromptu showcase, a performance that forced her future label bosses to sign the deal before she walked out of their offices. "We were there until 4:30 in the morning closing the deal. Every time I signed my name I was just smiling."
Growing up in the parish of St. Michael, Barbados, it never occurred to Rihanna that one day she would be sitting in the company of mega music moguls. Before moving to the US in 2005, Rihanna lived somewhat of a simple life on her home island where she attended high school and like most teenage girls sang songs for fun with her friends. Aside from winning her school's beauty and talent pageant, Rihanna never realized how talented she really was until she attracted the attention of a New York City music producer named Evan Rogers. (Evan and his partner, Carl Sturken, have produced hits for such artists as Christina Aguilera, Ruben Studdard and Kelly Clarkson.) Evan and his Barbadian wife Jackie were vacationing over Christmas near Rihanna’s hometown and through a mutual friend were introduced to the young diva. After hearing her belt out a couple of tunes Evan realized Rihanna’s future star power and invited her to New York to record some tracks.

MICHAEL JACKSON - WE'VE HAD ENOUGH
Michael Jackson and Will.i.am Collaborating
Will.i.am of the Black Eyed Peas can count the King of Pop among his fans. Michael Jackson invited the rapper-producer to collaborate on some new tracks for an upcoming album. That led to the two getting together at a recording studio in Ireland, Jackson says in a two-part interview with "Access Hollywood". "I like what he is doing and thought it would be interesting to collaborate or just see how the chemistry worked," Jackson says. "I think he's doing wonderful, innovative, positive, great music."
See the video interview here: http://video.accesshollywood.com/v/?linkId=41889
In this meantime, pay attention on this song that Michael wrote. it talks about war and our hopes. All we need is love. All we want is peace. All we wish is a better world.
We've Had Enough
Michael Jackson
Love was taken from a young live
And no one told her why
Her direction has a dimlight
From one more violent crime
She innocently questioned why
Why her father had to die
She asked the men in blue
How is it that you get to choose
Who will live and who will die
Did God told you you could decide ?
You saw he didn't run
And that my daddy had no gun
In the middle of the village
Within a distant land
Lies a cool boy with his broken toy
To young to understand
He's awaken, ground is shaking
His father grabs his hand
Screaming crying, his wife's dying
Now he's left to explain
He innocently questioned why
Why his mother had to die
Why did these soldiers come here for ?
If they're for peace why is there war ?
Did God say that they could decide
Who will live and who will die ?
All my mama ever did
Was try to take care of her kids
We're innocently standing by
Watching people loosing lives
It seem as if we have no voice
It's time for us to make a choice
Only God could decide
Who will live and who will die
There's nothing that can't be done
If we raise our voice as one
Did God hear it from me ?
Did God hear it from you ?
Did God hear it from us ?
We can't take it
We've already had enough
Did God hear it from me ?
Did God hear it from you ?
Did God hear it from us ?
We can't take it
We've already had enough
Thank God I care for me
Thank God I care for you
Thank God it came from you babe
We can't take it
We've already had enough
Deep in my soul baby
Deep in your soul and by your side
Deep in my soul
It's so big and i'm still alive
Did God hear it from us ?
We can't take it
We've already had enough
It's going down baby
Just let God decide,
It's going on baby
Just let God decide
Deep in my soul baby
We've already had enough
