JESSIE J - Who You Are

Pierwsza piosenka Jessie którą polubiłam mam nadzieję, że jeszcze stworzy równie coś dobrego. 
Mam słabość do dobrego wokalu, a w tej piosence Jessie śpiewa świetnie i udowadnia, że potrafi śpiewać.
Warto obejrzeć, gdyż rzadko można podziwiać jak wokalistka śpiewa na żywo przy włączonym odtwarzaczu cd. 

CHER - Believe

Piosenka z dzieciństwa. Nigdy nie darzyłam ją jakąś specjalną sympatią, ale po latach stwierdziłam, że słucha się jej równie przyjemnie jak wtedy. Nie była fanką twórczości Cher, ale ta piosenka podoba mi się. 

ELVIS PRESLEY - In the ghetto

Jedna z przyjemniejszych piosenek króla rock'n roll. Nie znam twórczości Elvisa. Usłyszałam 'In the ghetto' w polskiej wersji The Voice. Bardzo spodobało mi się wykonanie i postanowiłam usłyszeć oryginał, który jest równie ujmujący.

EMELI SANDE - Scottish r&b and soul artist



Sandé first became known to the public eye after she featured on rapper Chipmunk's debut single, "Diamond Rings". She appeared again on Roll Deep star, Wiley's "Never Be Your Woman", which became another top ten hit. Simon Cowell called her "his favourite songwriter at the minute". She has written for a number of artists, including Cher Lloyd, Susan Boyle, Preeya Kalidas, Leona Lewis, Cheryl Cole, and Tinie Tempah.

In 2010, she signed a publishing deal with EMI Music Publishing. She later announced that Virgin Records had given her a record deal. Sandé released her first solo single "Heaven" in August 2011, and her debut album, "Our Version of Events", is set to be released on 30 January 2012. She also appears as a guest artist on Professor Green's single "Read All About It".
 
Heaven

Daddy

Emeli Sandé has admitted that she changed her name because of Adele. The singer had to ditch her birth name - which is also Adele - as the Brit Award winner was gaining popularity.

Sandé told Metro: "I changed it as soon as Adele came out. I just thought, 'You've kind of taken the [name] now', so I went with my middle name. She was just getting bigger and bigger, so I thought I just really need it."

The up-and-coming star also claimed that Susan Boyle, whom she has written for in the past, should be classed as a true "rock star". Sandé said: "Can you imagine a party with Susan Boyle? She'd just do something nuts and everyone would just be shocked. That's a real rock star - very unpredictable."

BRUNO MARS - Marry You

Jedyna piosenka Bruno, która przypadła mi do gustu. Dlaczego? Jest pozytywna i to mi wystarcza. 

SUNRISE AVENUE

Nie znam twórczości tego zespołu i jakoś po przesłuchaniu 3 piosenek, które brzmiały tak sobie nie zamierzam zagłębiać się w ich muzykę. 'Hollywood hills' jest o.k.

Kolejna piosenka, która przypadła mi do gustu. Rockowa ballada.

SELAH SUE - Belgian singer

 
This World (Kinder Bueno song)

Selah Sue often covers songs of Erykah Badu and The Zutons, but she does appear to assemble a whole range of her own songs. Two of her well-known songs are "Mommy" and "Black part love", both of which are carried out acoustically. She says to be influenced by artists such as Lauryn Hill, M.I.A. and Erykah  Badu.
Black part love

In 2010, she played most of the biggest festivals in Belgium, including Les Nuits Botanique, Les Ardentes, Dour, Lokerse Feesten, Couleur Café and Pukkelpop. But also outside her native country in big festivals such as Lowlands (Netherlands), Les Eurockéennes de Belfort (France) and Sziget Festival (Hungary). On November 8, 2010 she played a support appearance for Prince on his Sportpaleis concert. She then went on a mostly sold out headlining show in Belgium, France and the Netherlands, presenting her forthcoming debut album.

She appears on Cee Lo Green's 2010 album The Lady Killer, duetting with him on "Please".

CHRISTINA STÜRMER - Austria star

Mama (Ana Ahabak)

It is the third and final single from Christina Stürmer's debut album, Freier Fall. The song became Stürmer's second number one song in Austria. The song deals with the war in Irak between Irak and the United States.

The song "Mama (Ana Ahabak)" is translated as, "Mom (I Love you)." Ana Ahabak is Arabic for "I Love You." The song was written after the terrorist attack on the American World Trade Centers. The song is about the confusion of war.  

Zieh nicht so an meiner Hand Wieso drückst du mich an die Wand? Warum geh'n die Lichter aus? Ich kann kaum noch etwas seh'n Sag, wieso müssen wir hier steh'n? Warum geh'n wir nicht nach Haus? 
Translated, this means:

 Don't pull my hand Why do you push me against the wall? Why are the lights going off? 
I can hardly see anything, Tell me, why do we have to stay here?Why don't we go home?

Tell me why is it so dark here
Mama, tell me why you cry
 I don´t know why are you so sad.

Are these shootings stars up there?
What has been flying up there?
Why am I so cold?
Why does your heart beat so fast?
Why is it so bright over there?
and where from are these thunders coming?

Mama ana habek - Mama I love oyu
Mama ana habek - Mama give me a shelter

Mama, where shall we go to?
I want to go home, it´s already late
Mama why go down on our knees
what do you say? is it a prayer?

Don´t tear my hand,
why do you push me to the wall ?
and who switched out the lights?
I can´t hardly see anything,
tell me, why do we havew to stay here?
Mama ana habak
who don´t we go home?

Mama ana habek - Mama I love you
Mama ana habek - Mama give me a shelter
Mama ana habak - I can´t see the stars
Mama ana habak - I only see your face

Can you tell me where we are?
where are all those people running to?
Tell me, do we have to go far?
Why don´t say anything,
why do you have empty eyes
Tell me, is it my fault, I am sorry

Mama ana habek - Mama I love you
Mama ana habek - Mama give me a shelter
Mama ana habek - cos´when the night comes
Mama ana habek - I cannot see the stars
I only see your face
please don´t leave me.

Polubiłam tę piosenkę od pierwszego razu za sprawą gitary. Piosenka ma promować film o tym samym tytule. Szkoda tylko, że tvp w zwiastunie zamiast Kombii puszcza Katy Perry.

" -

At the start of her career, Kayah sang in choirs and recorded backing vocals for a number of bands, such as Tilt. She made her solo debut with the song Córeczko (daughter) in 1988 at the National Festival of Polish Song in Opole. The same year her first full-length self-titled album was issued. It was a commercial and artistical disappointment and today is not included in Kayah official discography.

She released her first self-produced solo album, Kamień, (stone) in 1995. It was a great success, consisting of melancholy pop songs, deriving from soul and jazz tradition. In the same year, she was voted the Vocalist of the Year by the Polish music industry and received a Fryderyk award in recognition of her achievements. In 1997, she received another three Fryderyks, this time for the album Zebra as well as in the categories of Singer and Composer of the Year. With Zebra she changed her style, moving in the direction of American soul/funk music. The album spanned two big hits, Na językach (on the tongues) and Supermenka. (Superwoman)

In 1999, Kayah paired with the Yugoslav composer Goran Bregović to record what would become one of the most popular Polish albums ever, entitled Kayah i Bregović. Most of the music was composed by Bregović for the band Bijelo Dugme (White Button), which he had been a part of and movie soundtracks that he had worked on. The lyrics were both translations of the original texts and inspired of. Two first singles released from the album, Śpij kochanie, śpij (Sleep darling sleep) and Prawy do lewego (Right to Left), became massive hits in Poland for many months and the record went on to sell in excess of 700 000 copies. In the same year Kayah was awarded another Fryderyk, in the category Vocalist of the Year.

In 2000, she released the album JakaJaKayah which featured pop, jazz and techno-influenced songs. She duetted with Cesária Évora for a track "Embarcacao", sung in Crioulo, from the re-release of the album, newly entitled YakaYaKayah. Her next album, Stereo typ, was issued in August 2003 and featured a major hit single, Testosteron.

2005 saw the release of her first compilation, The Best & the Rest, a 2-disc set featuring all her greatest single hits as well as less-popular tracks. It was promoted by two singles: Prócz ciebie, nic, recorded with Krzysztof Kiljański, and Jutro rano. Kayah focused then more on producing career and released a number of successful, critically acclaimed albums on her own label Kayax. In 2006 she released her first live album, MTV Unplugged. The following years saw her working on various soundtrack tunes.

Kayah returned with her first studio album in six year in 2009. Skała, musically similar to her 1995 debut album,  became a bestseller in Poland. 2010 saw the release of two collaboration albums: Kayah & Royal Quartet with Royal String Quartet, consisting of some of her previous songs in string arrangements, and Panienki z temperamentem, on which Kayah and another Polish singer Renata Przemyk presented their own interpretations of work by Kabaret Starszych Panów.

AVRIL LAVIGNE - punk girl

 
Forgotten

Alice (Underground)
W trakcie reklamy filmu 'Alicja w krainie czarów' usłyszałam piękny fragment piosenki  1:45 - 2:15. Odszukałam ją i okazało się, że wykonuje ją Avril. Trochę się rozczarowałam, bo to co najlepsze trwa zaledwie 30 sekund, tym samym zaskoczyła mnie Avril, bo nie sądziłam, że potrafi tak subtelnie zaśpiewać.

BROOKE FRASER - New Zealand folk-pop artist

  


Something in the water


  The debut album  -What to Do with Daylight

Brooke Fraser released in 2004. What to Do with Daylight was the top New Zealand album for 2004 (according to RIANZ), and went seven times Platinum. The album title comes from the album's first track "Arithmetic", as heard in the line "Wondering what to do with daylight, Until I can make you mine". The song was released as the album's fourth single in New Zealand. All five singles from the album reached the top 20 NZ singles chart and achieved #1 airplay status. All tracks on the album were written by Fraser herself.

The second album -   Albertine  
In 2005, prior to writing and preparing her follow-up album, Fraser took a trip to Africa to immerse herself in Rwanda before visiting her sponsor children in Tanzania, as she is an advocate for child sponsorship. In this trip, she was so moved that she wrote the song Albertine about a young child (named Albertine), whom she met while in Rwanda. It was later decided to make this song the album's title track.

Albertine 
It was largely inspired by a Rwandan orphan, by the name of Albertine, whom Fraser met while there in 2005. Fraser went to Rwanda on behalf of World Vision in 2005, the first of many trips. While there, she met a girl named Albertine, who had become orphaned by the genocide of 1994. Fraser described Albertine as "tall and beautiful".Her guide, Joel, took her to a village school in Kabuga district, and showed her a girl whose life the guide had personally saved. On her return, she felt she was "in a position where I could share  message with other people that could be a great way to contribute in and of itself". "Albertine" tells the "tale of courage" of the two Rwandans in the 1990s.
The third album - Flags

Fraser cited her move to Los Angeles as a major inspiration, saying "I was really frustrated and felt like I needed to get away and be somewhere where I could completely focus...and just to try and get a little bit of head space. It was the best decision we ever made". She called Flags "a graduation".

Writers of tracks on Flags include Fraser, her husband Scott Ligertwood, and Switchfoot's Jon Foreman. The album was produced by Fraser herself, which she called "one of the scariest things I've ever done". According to Fraser, "Crows + Locusts" was inspired by a farming family, while "Ice on Her Lashes" is about death and grief. "Betty" is based on hiding things. The title track, "Flags", was brought about by cultural identity and injustice. 

Betty

Brooke Fraser has remained her stage name for her activity as a Sony BMG recording/touring artist. She continues to write songs for Hillsong Church, now as "Brooke Ligertwood". Among her notable congregational songs are "Desert song" and "Hosanna". Despite being a Christian, Fraser has made clear efforts to distance herself from the Contemporary Christian Music scene.
 Fraser also runs a blog from her website where she comments on everything from touring, to fashion and food.
