Michael Buble on Rachel Ray - Re-broadcast March 19th.

Okay, so there’s a lot more to the show than this, but I just had to post this as a highlight.
Check your local listings for times!

He loves his Italian food, and loves to speak Italian with an accent… HE IS SO FREAKIN’ CUTE!
“Oh! ma-ma!” *big huge cheesy grin*

Video Week - First YouTube Result for Etta James

This vid is SO CUTE… It’s of course, “At Last” by Etta James. The first result in a search for her on YouTube comes up with this photo montage of people in love, love graffiti, and so on. It’s so adorable, don’t you think?!
For those who are curious, the most popular post (most searched for, […]

Video Week - First YouTube Result for Dean Martin

I don’t remember if I’d written about this story before, but the first search result today for Dean Martin in YouTube gave me “That’s Amore” and every time I hear that song, I’m reminded of my silliness as a teenager.
I went to Italy for a summer exchange program when I was 16, and one night, […]

Video Week - First YouTube Result for Harry Connick, Jr.

Okay, so I lied, it’s the second result, because the first one had embedding disabled. This one’s from the “When Harry Met Sally” soundtrack. He was SO YOUNG HERE! :)

I really love this song… not just for a love song, but totally for a “first dance” song in a wedding. It’s really great.
Remember that scene […]

Video Week - First YouTube Result for Peggy Lee

This vid just shows a montage of photos of the gorgeous blonde, and it’s no wonder men loved her… with this song, and her looks, I have to say she might just have had something!

Video Week - First YouTube Result for Marilyn Monroe

Ah yes, the “Happy Birthday Mr. President” on May 19, 1962 shows up first in YouTube today when searching for “Marilyn Monroe”.
What a classic, if not questionable, display!

So much controversy around this - all the JFK conspiracy theories and such, and this one stands out quite a bit. No wonder they compared Mr. Hillary Clinton […]

Time has not been my friend this week - been working on tax stuff, and work stuff, and dealing with a foot of snow.
So this is going to be video week, posting the first YouTube resulting video for select crooners.

John Legend-like female neocrooner: Sara Bareilles

I was watching her on “The View”, and have seen her on TV quite a bit lately. She reminds me of a female version of John Legend with her lyrics, melody, piano playing, and beat. She’s kinda cool, don’t you think?
She’s had little to no formal voice training… she’s a natural!
The big song we hear […]
