Hair - Lady Gaga (album Born This Way)

This song is the only promotional single from Lady Gaga's second studio album Born This Way. Written and produced by Gaga and Red One, the melody of the song resembles the work of metal bands Iron Maiden and Kiss, and is also influenced by Bruce Springsteen. The singer told Ryan about the song in an interview back in February, saying it’s one of her favorite songs on the album.

Whenever I'm dressed cool
My parents put up a fight
And if I'm hot shot
Mom will cut my hair at night

And in the morning
I'm short of my identity
I scream Mom and Dad
Why can't I be who I wanna be?
To be

I just wanna be myself
And I want you to love me for who I am
I just wanna be myself
And I want you to know, I am my hair

[Chorus:]
I've had enough, this is my prayer
That I'll die livin' just as free as my hair
I've had enough, this is my prayer
That I'll die livin' just as free as my hair
I've had enough, I'm not a freak
I just keep fightin' to stay cool on the streets
I've had enough, enough, enough
And this is my prayer, I swear
I'm as free as my hair
I'm a free as my hair
I am my hair
I am my hair

[x2:]
Free as my hair, hair, hair
Hair, hair, hair

Sometimes I some raccoons
Or red highlights
Just because I want my friends
To think I'm dynamite

And on Friday rock city
High school dance
I got my bangs to hide
That I don't stand a chance, a chance

I just wanna be myself
And I want you to love me for who I am
I just wanna be myself
And I want you to know, I am my hair

[Chorus]

[x2:]
Free as my hair, hair, hair
Hair, hair, hair

I just want to be free, I just want to be me
And I want lots of friends that invite me to their parties
Don't wanna change, and I don't wanna be ashamed
I'm the spirit of my hair, it's all the glory that I bare

Repeat Chorus



In my opinion, Hair and Edge Of Glory are very representative of her second album. In related news, the singer is dating Taylor Kinney. He is the male model in Gaga's video "You and I."

I Will Not Say Goodbye - Danny Gokey (album My Best Days)

"I Will Not Say Goodbye" is the second single from Danny Gokey's debut album My Best Days. His album debuted at number four on the Billboard 200 and it is the best debut for a male country solo artist since 1992. The singer became engaged to girlfriend Leyicet Peralta last week. The American Idol season 8 finalist is definitely living his best days.

I Will Not Say Goodbye"

Sometimes your world just ends
It changes everything you've been
And all that's left to be
Is empty, broken, lonely, hoping

I'm supposed to be strong
I'm supposed to find a way to carry on
And I don't wanna feel better
And I don't wanna not remember,
I will always see your face
In the shadows of this haunted place
I will laugh, I will cry, shake my fist at the sky
But I will not say goodbye

They keep saying time will heal
But the pain just gets more real
The sun comes up each day
Finds me waiting, fading, hating, praying,

If I can keep on holding on
Maybe I can keep my heart from knowing that you're gone
And I don't wanna feel better
I don't wanna not remember
I will always see your face
In the shadows of this haunted place
I will laugh, I will cry, shake my fist at the sky
But I will not say goodbye

I will curse, I will pray, I will re-live everyday
I will show through the blame
I'll shout out your name
I will laugh, I will cry, shake my fist at the sky
But I will not say
Will not say goodbye
I will not say goodbye

Let's learn how to sing this sweet song with this nice video.

A Thousand Years - Christina Perri (Original soundtrack Breaking Dawn)

I haven't seen Breaking Dawn but I heard this song on MTV. I think this song is so good. Christina's voice in this song is so sweet. I don't understand why this song haven't become a hit.

Heart beats fast
Colors and promises
How to be brave
How can I love when I'm afraid to fall
But watching you stand alone
All of my doubt suddenly goes away somehow

One step closer

[Chorus:]
I have died everyday waiting for you
Darling don't be afraid I have loved you
For a thousand years
I'll love you for a thousand more

Time stands still
Beauty in all she is
I will be brave
I will not let anything take away
What's standing in front of me
Every breath
Every hour has come to this

One step closer

Repeat Chorus

And all along I believed I would find you
Time has brought your heart to me
I have loved you for a thousand years
I'll love you for a thousand more

One step closer
One step closer

Repeat Chorus

And all along I believed I would find you
Time has brought your heart to me
I have loved you for a thousand years
I'll love you for a thousand more

I hope this song will get an Oscar nomination.

Listen - Beyonce (Dream Girls soundtrack)

I predicted Melanie Amaro would win the first season of X Factor USA and I was right. After she was crowned the champion of The X Factor's first-ever U.S. version, Amaro closed out the show with an encore performance of "Listen." Backstage, Amaro laughed as she recalled the moment she won and how she forgot the lyrics.

"I couldn't remember any of the words," she said. "I was so overwhelmed; it was such a surprise to me."

Melanie Amaro boyfriend is also a contestant on the show.

To help her and others remember the lyrics, I've picked Listen for this post.



Listen to the song here in my heart
A melody I start but can't complete
Listen to the sound from deep within
It's only beginning to find release

Oh, the time has come for my dreams to be heard
They will not be pushed aside and turned
Into your own all 'cause you won't
Listen

Listen, I am alone at a crossroads
I'm not at home in my own home
And I've tried and tried to say what's on mind
You should have known

Oh, now I'm done believing you
You don't know what I'm feeling
I'm more than what you made of me
I followed the voice you gave to me
But now I've gotta find my own

You should have listened, there is someone here inside
Someone I thought had died so long ago
Oh, I'm screaming out and my dreams'll be heard
They will not be pushed aside on words
Into your own all 'cause you won't
Listen

Repeat Chorus

I don't know where I belong
But I'll be moving on
If you don't, if you won't

Listen to the song here in my heart
A melody I start but I will complete

Oh, now I'm done believing you
You don't know what I'm feeling
I'm more than what you made of me
I followed the voice you think you gave to me
But now I've gotta find my own, my own

"Listen" is one of four compositions written specifically for the Dream Girls film.

Better Than I Know Myself - Adam Lambert (album Trespassing)

This ballad is the lead single from Adam Lambert's upcoming second studio album Trespassing. This is a great song. However, I don't think it is going to be a hit because people may hate Adam after his latest scandal. Adam Lambert and boyfriend Sauli Koskinen were arrested outside a gay club in Finland this morning. The couple’s dispute led to a physical altercation. Finnish beauty queen Sofia Ruusila, who had been celebrating with the couple, told a local entertainment channel that she tried to get between the pair when Lambert accidentally hit her.

Better Than I Know Myself



Cold as ice
And more bitter than a December
Winter night
That's how I treated you
And I know that I
I sometimes tend to loose my temper
And I cross the line
Yeah that's the truth

I know it gets hard sometimes
But I could never
Leave your side
No matter what I say
'Cause if I wanted to go
I woulda gone by now but
I really need you near me
To keep my mind off the edge
If I wanted to leave
I woulda left by now
But you're the only one that knows me
Better than I know myself

All along
I tried to pretend it didn't matter
If I was alone
Deep down I know
If you were gone
For even a day I wouldn't know which way to turn
'Cause I'm lost without you

Repeat Chorus

I get kind of dark
Let it go to far
I can be obnoxious at times
But try and see my heart
Cause I need you now
So don't let me down
You are the only thing in this world
I would die without

Chorus (2 times)

The Idol members are currently residing in Las Vegas for taping their hit reality series, “American Idol.” Lambert, whose colorful costumes and makeup earned him the nickname "Glambert," rose to fame in 2009 on U.S. singing contest "American Idol," but lost in the final round of the No. 1-rated TV show to Kris Allen.

Shine a Light - McFly (album Above the Noise)

This song is the second single from McFly's fifth studio album Above the Noise. Penned with Taio Cruz, the song is about missing an ex with ome deceptively catchy "Eh Eh"s. Harry Judd, the drummer, is my favorite member of this band. Harry Judd's girlfriend Izzy Johnston is also a musician.

Shine a Light

Tell me are you feeling strong
Strong enough to love someone
And make it through the hardest storm
And bad weather

Will you pull me from the flames
Hold me till I feel no pain
And give me shelter from the rain
Forever

Where can I find her

She took the light and left me in the dark (eah)
She left me with a broken heart (eah)
Now I'm on my own
If anybody sees her

Eh, eh, eh shine a light on her
Eh, eh, eh shine a light on her
Eh, eh, eh shine a light on her
Eh, eh, if anybody sees her

Tell me can you hear my voice
Loud and clear above the noise
And even if I had the choice
I would not give up

Where can I find her

She took the light and left me in the dark (eah)
She left me with a broken heart (eah)
Now I'm on my own
If anybody sees her

Eh, eh, eh shine a light on her
Eh, eh, eh shine a light on her
Eh, eh, eh shine a light on her
Eh, eh, if anybody sees her

Eh, eh, eh shine a light on her
Eh, eh, eh shine a light on her
Eh, eh, eh shine a light on her
Eh, eh, if anybody sees her

She took the light and left me in the dark (eah)
She left me with a broken heart (eah)
Now I'm on my own
If anybody sees her

Repeat Chorus

All I Have To Give - Backstreet Boys (album Backstreet's Back)

This song is the final single from Backstreet Boys' US debut album. Oh, I miss the 90s, the golden era of boy bands. It's hard to find a popular girl or boy group these days. I wonder where the members of the Backstreet Boys are now.

I don't know what he does to make you cry
But I'll be there to make you smile
I don't have a fancy car
To get to you I'd walk a thousand miles
I don't care if he buys you nice things
Does his gifts come from the heart?
I don't know
But if you were my girl
I'd make it so we'd never be apart

[Chorus:]
But my love is all I have to give
Without you I don't think I could live
I wish I could give the world to you
But love is all I have to give

When you talk (when you talk) does it seem like he's not
Even listening to a word you say?
That's okay babe, just tell me your problems
I'll try my best to kiss them all away
Does he leave (does he leave) when you need him the most?
Does his friends get all your time?
Baby please
I'm on my knees
Praying for the day that you'll be mine

[Chorus]

[Bridge:]
To you... (hey girl) hey girl, I don't want you to cry no more inside
All the money in the world could never add up to all the love
I have inside... I love you

And I will give it to you
All I can give, all I can give
Everything I have is for you
But love is all I have to give

Chorus (3 times)

But my love is all I have to give
Without you I don't think I can live
I wish I could give the world to you
But love is all I have to give... to you

This a great song. Let's learn how to sing it with this great video.

Just In Love - Joe Jonas (album Fast life)

This song is taken from Joe Jonas' debut solo album. The video clip of this single features romantic scenes of Joe Jonas and French model Angele Sassy. Actually, Joe Jonas is dating a Brazilian model. Her name is Jessica Pott and she is very beautiful.

Just In Love

I love a girl in a whole another language
People look at us strange
Don't understand us.
They try to change it
I try to tell her don't change

We talk love and they say it sounds crazy
But love's even more wild when you're angry
Don't understand why you wanna change it
Girl, listen to me!

Girl, you're just running from the truth
And I'm scared of losing you.
You are worth too much to lose
Baby if you're still confused

Girl, I'm just in love with you
Girl, I'm just in love with you
No other words to use
I'm just in love with you
I'm just in love with you

When I tell you "I would never leave you"
Do you hear what I say?
Don't understand you
You say you need time
But you've been calling all day.

We talk love and they say it sounds crazy
Love's even more wild when you're angry
I don't understand why you wanna change it
Girl, listen to me!

Girl, you're just running from the truth
And I'm scared of losing you.
You are worth to much to lose, oh baby
Baby, if you're still confused

Girl I'm just in love with you
(Do you hear what I say?)
That I'm just in love with you
(Can nobody change it?)
No other words to use
(I love you baby!)
I'm just in love with you
I'm just in love with you
Oh...

Never knew what we have
They don't understand
Words are just a waste of time
We know this is real.
And I know how you feel
When you put your hand in mine

Girl I'm just in love with you

This video will help you learn the song.
