Still backtracking a few weeks with the songs that I have liked recently. I didn't watch the music awards show The Brits when it was broadcast on ITV a few weeks ago. Someone Like you by Adele went to number one in the UK the following Sunday because of her performance on the awards show night. I watched that performance last week and was just mesmerised. Truly wonderful. I usually hate the intros on clips like that and whenever I post songs I try to find an edit that features just the singer and the song. In the case of Adele's Someone Like you, I do think that James Corden's introduction added to the overall instant success of the song. Awards shows are scripted but he did two things in that introduction; he spoke from the heart as someone who is obviously a fan of the singer and he also highlighted the viewer's attention to the fact that they were about to witness something great and something that would remind them of their own experiences in life and love. The other songs that stood out for me almost two weeks ago now were Oh Land's Sun Of A Gun and Cults Go Outside. I like Clare Maguire's songs, Ain't Nobody and The Last Dance more each week and hope to see her in concert here in Dublin later this month. Please check out Beth Ditto's song I Wrote The Book if you are new to this blog which is one of the best songs of the year so far and the Freemasons remix of Alexis Jordan's Good Girl is also fantastic. All of those mentioned songs are available to watch on previous video posts on this blog. Saturday, March 12, 2011
