Beyoncé – Love On Top

What. a. tune.

Whether you love her, hate her, or just don’t really care, there is no denying the phenomenal global talent that is Beyonce Knowles.

She has incredibly vocal ability, robustness, and performance skills that are rare to say the least.

In this particular song she introduces some RIDICULOUS riffs and some nigh-on-impossible key changes. That said, I cover this sort of material with a number of singers and really help a number of people work towards making these sorts of riffs not just achievable, but a standard part of their repertoire.

Check it out, particularly the last 1m30s.

Bruno Mars & Travie McCoy – Billionaire Acoustic Version

As I just tweeted, I am preparing a video presentation on how to build your business, and one of the elements I’m talking about is the importance of blogging. So here is a quick blog on one of my favourite artists (who I have talked about loads before) – the Wonderful Bruno Mars

Apologies for the language at the start – not sure why he opted for that in this version!

What a tune though, and I love the acoustic version. Enjoy!

Bring Him Home – Alfie Boe

This is not my usual musical fare, but it’s so beautiful I felt the need to share it.

Just such a tender and beautiful sound, very well executed. His diction goes a bit astray – singing ‘bring him ham’ made me chuckle!

In any case, check out the magnificant Alfie Boe in Les Mis ‘Bring Him Home’ – amazing!

John Mayer – In Your Atmosphere

Came across this video of one of my favourite artists the other day. I’ve blogged about him before = the wonderfully talented John Mayer. If you’ve never heard him before, check him out.

Interesting point, his own bad habits with his voice were a major contributing factor to him ending up having major vocal surgery and being unable to sing for the last 18 months or so. Definitely worth working on your voice to avoid this!

Michael Bublé – ‘This Love’ Cover

I love Michael Buble. Great voice, great act, class songs. He puts songs in really difficult keys for men… not especially high, but positions the ‘money notes’ juuuust over the first bridge, and delivers it with quality rather than shouting. What a dude.

This is a fun cover, but it’s a little weird hearing Michael Buble covering Maroon 5. It’s also somewhat weird hearing his Sinatra-isms shine through in a pop song. Have a listen, and notice how style can make someone ideally suited towards one genre, and perhaps a little out of place in another.

Regardless, sit back, and enjoy the magnificent musical stylings of Mr Michael Buble.
