Skylar Grey. shes so very talented and.. shes got something, I can never get enough of her music. but at the same time, now that Im listening to the whole version of those songs she sold to famous artists, and I cant get enough of them, it kind of pisses me off.. its such a shame they cut those songs to pieces and sold the hooks

Whitney Houston because every once in a while I need to be reminded of the legendary voice she's been blessed with.

Janet Jackson

Image

Her ability to convey buckets full of emotion with the slightest vocal inflexions is SLAYING me...

The Velvet Rope is an incredible album. But it's pretty explicit...it's not for the light-hearted...

I can feel this light that's inside of me, growing fast into a bolt of lightning. I know one spark will shock the world...

My artist of the day is none other than the fabulous Birdy!

I've abandoned her debut album for a while, but today I suddenly felt the need to listen to it. It impressed me again, so many great covers and her voice is wonderful.

Because her vocals > your faves. She had the best ballads of the "power ballad" era.

Lana Del Rey

I wasn't feeling her AT ALL at first but now I love what she's done. I only have four songs so far (BTD, OTTR, BJ and VG) but I'm anticipating her new album like crazy. She's so boring but interesting if that makes any sense.

Michael Jackson. I've been feeling very helpless and weak lately. Michael always puts a smile on my face when I'm feeling down. Ironically, his bad album makes me feel good.

Fitz and The Tantrums

The first time I heard this band was on "Late Night with Carson Daly" when they performed on SXSW. Then, they performed a couple weeks ago at 2012 Critics Choice Movie Awards and I liked them ever since.

Why I like them?

They bring Motown-soul with live horns and their songs are nice!

Here's their singles:

Yoko Ono

~ Her music is really touching, she has an ability to really express emotion and make me believe her.

~ Her creativity is boundless and is so deeply inspiring for me personally.

~ Her music is so wonderful and many of her albums are so strong and consistent flowing with amazing material.

~ She's very eclectic.

I think I've said enough there and those that disagree ~ you make me wanna puke! :lol:

If you like it, listen to it. Don`t be ashamed of a song which is considered a crap by most of the general audience. :lol:
