Featured Song of the Week: “Lucky” by Jason Mraz and Colbie Caillat

This week’s featured song is “Lucky” by Jason Mraz and Colbie Caillat. I just heard about it from a friend this evening. She e-mailed it to me in a MP3 file and I immediately fell in love with the song. I think everyone should be able to say that this song is about them and their significant other. This song just helps confirm why Jason Mraz is one of my favorite singers!

Featured Song of the Week: “Hot ‘N Cold” by Katy Perry

This week’s Featured Song of the Week is kind of an unusual pick for me. I normally wouldn’t choose songs like this but for some reason I can’t help but loving this song/video. Maybe it is that there is something intriguing about Katy Perry. Yeah, she’s very attractive but there is something else. Not sure. Anyways, my pick this week is “Hot ‘n Cold” by Katy Perry! Enjoy!

Christmas Is Here!

Well, Christmas Day is finally here. I went to a wonderful Christmas Eve Service last night at the Puyallup CofC Congregation. Afterwards my mom and I drove down to have Christmas at the Hergert home in Ethel, WA. We will be here until tomorrow morning. Then tomorrow afternoon I will be having a Christmas dinner with my dad and brothers at my dad’s home.

I am happy to say that I finished all my Christmas shopping last Sunday! With 4 days to spare! LOL!

Here are my two most favorite Christmas Songs:

“Mary, Did You Know?”

I love both of these versions of the song:

Kathy Mattea version

Kenny Rogers/Wynonna version

“It Wasn’t His Child”

Skip Ewing version

One of my other favorite Christmas Songs is “Baby, It’s Cold Outside”. This year Lady Antebellum recorded a version of it that the radio has just been eating up! This is them singing it on the Today show yesterday.

MERRY CHRISTMAS EVERYONE!

5 Days ‘Til Christmas

Just a few more days until Christmas. I am still not done with shopping. Oh well I mean I still have 5 whole days to go, right? PLENTY OF TIME! LOL!

So, for some of my favorites for this week’s Christmas music:

“Joy To the World” - Michael Bolton

This is my favorite version of this song. I think Michael gets a lot of undeserved flack is one of the most undervalued singers out there.

“Oh Holy Night” – Martina McBride

She is one of my favorite female vocalists of all time and shows us why on this song! Absolutely Wonderful!

“A Baby Changes Everything” – Faith Hill

This is the first Christmas single from Faith’s new Christmas CD. I already love this song and think it is sure to become a Christmas classic!

“This is the Time” – Michael Bolton and Wynonna

This song can be found on the same CD as his version of “Joy to the World. I love Christmas love songs! Adds to the magic of the season. I think it is a great Christmas love song!

Featured Song of the Week: “Don’t Think I Can’t Love You” by Jake Owen

This week’s song is the latest single from Jake Owen and is called “Don’t think I can’t love you”. As soon as I heard it, I absolutely loved it! It was one of those songs where I was hooked from the very beginning. Didn’t event need to hear the rest of it, though, I am glad I did! Enjoy!

12 Days ‘Til Christmas!

We are getting closer! Have you purchased all your gifts yet? Yeah, me neither!

So, this week I have another two Christmas songs. The first one is “I’ll be home for Christmas”. This version is by Rascal Flatts. It’s not that I have always been a fan of this song but this version has changed that. I LOVE it! It is done acapella. The second is my favorite Christmas Song. That would be “Go Tell It On The Mountain”. This version is from Toby Keith and Jewel.

Rascal Flatts – “I’ll be home for Christmas”

Toby Keith and Jewel – “Go Tell It On The Mountain”

Featured Song of the Week: “She Wouldn’t Be Gone” by Blake Shelton

This week’s featured song is “She Wouldn’t Be Gone” by Blake Shelton. It is the first single from his brand new CD (which I unfortunately recently purchased). This is one of the only good songs on it but it is a GREAT song. It is one of those that I love to crank up loud and sing a long to while I am driving down the interstate! Plus, it gives some great tips for what to do in a relationship so that you don’t have to be the male that is living out the words to this song! Enjoy!

19 Days Until Christmas!

Hard to believe it but there is only 19 days until Christmas! I have purchased some gifts but still have some more to do. Some years I am really good and get most of my gifts in October and November and then some years I shop on Christmas Eve! Hopefully I will be done before Christmas Eve. We shall see!

So, this week I choose “The Secret of Giving” by Reba McEntire as one of my favorite Christmas Songs. It is from one of my Christmas CD’s, “Secret of Giving: A Christmas Collection” by Reba McEntire. The song coincided with a made for TV movie of the same name that Reba starred in. One of my favorite made for TV Christmas movies.

Here is a video for the song:

Additionally, one of my favorite Christmas movies of all time is “The Preacher’s Wife”. Part of that is because of Whitney’s voice on such songs such as this great version of “Joy to the World”:

Featured Song of the Week: “There’s more to me than you” by Jessica Andrews

This week’s featured song is actually 5 1/2 years old. It is called “There’s more to me than you” and is by Jessica Andrews. It was one of my favorite songs that came out in 2003. It was on Jessica’s “Now” CD, which was one of my favorite CD’s to come out that year and remains a favorite to this day! In addition to this song, some other great songs on it were “When Gentry Plays Guitar”, “God Don’t Give Up On Us”, and “Second Sunday”.

So, why choose a song that is over 5 years old? Well, I just read that Jessica is finally getting ready to release a new CD and you can bet I will be buying it the day it comes out! Until then, enjoy this great song!

26 Days ‘Til Christmas!

So, for this week’s Holiday song in preparation for Christmas I choose one of my favorites. It is by Garth Brooks and is called “Baby Jesus Is Born”. You will find it on his “The Magic of Christmas” CD. I just love this Christmas song and have always wanted to hear a choir sing it during a worship service at church. Hope this Holiday Season is treating you well so far!
