I Just Wanna Sing!!

This will be a short and sweet post, but for reals people, I WANNA SING!  I LOVE the show Glee.  What I love even more than the show is that the mixes sang on the show are available for download and let me just tell you that driving in the car with those mixes makes the commute much more enjoyable!  Seriously, if I could ask for a talent, it would be to sing!  If I could sing (without having to give up my dance abilities) I would head straight for New York and pursue a Broadway career!  Singing, dancing, and acting for a live audience...Ahhh!!  Would it get any better!?!?! I think not!!

Tonight the Sing Off premiered on NBC and it was amazing!  Seriously, this is raw talent! If you have no idea what I am talking about, please tune in tomorrow.  The Sing Off is a week long singing competition made up entirely  of a capella groups. You have to watch this to appreciate the incredible talent these people possess. The beginning of the show started with all of the singing groups performing David Bowie and Queen's "Under Pressure." It was absolutely incredible to hear every musical element of that performance and think that NO instruments were used! Please, check it out. After watching, you too will aspire to be a singer!

As if I didn't see enough musical performances tonight, I am now watching Straight, No Chaser on Channel 11. This is a male a capella group featuring Chicago's own Dan Ponce. For those of you who are not news junkies like I am, used to be a news reporter and NBC5, his brother, Anthony, is a reporter on ABC7, and his father is a famous face of Ch 11. Dan left his news reporter job to pursue his musical career and the group is really taking off. They actually popped up on my Pandora Christmas music channel the other day....you should check them out as well. They do all sorts of current and old school songs....They do an awesome version of Jason Mraz's "I'm Yours."

Music makes me so happy!! I may not have the best voice, but that in no way stops me! Tomorrow I will for sure be rocking out in my car, I hope you do the same!
