Nikki Nelson replaced Paulette Carlson in the group Highway 101, and this is maybe my favorite song from that group. Bing Bang Boom Warning: catchy-lyrics alert at around 1:00.

Thanks

Britney Spears "Piece Of Me", she just won an MTV award for it.



Maybe not one of the Best Songs Ever, but certainly the best song ever made by Britney. The sound is cool and the text is probably one of the most intelligent things she ever said (even if the paparazzi bashing contains some hypocrisy...)

I'll just say it straight to you. It is the worst song EVER. They gave the awards to her out of MERCY. I listened to it yesterday, because I was wondering, just how good this song was. It was awful. All her new, "songs" if you can call them that, have her whispering/ supposively singing, something. Her songs at the beginning of her career, actually had her using her voice to the fullest. The whole reason we have singers is because they can sing notes that we cannot, thus make a song sound better than the average person can make it sound. I can fake a breathy voice and, "sing," her song and sound the same as her. This would mean that this song isn't a song at all! Whitney Houston has songs that I love but saddly cannot sing. I can't get to the pitches she does when I try to sing her songs. (sad but true) That is what I call music. I don't even know what people listen to these days and call, music.

I definitely agree. Do you know late Ivan Rebroff? (note the 4.5 octaves range)

Christina, Andre: I have the highest respect for the contributions of both of you to the forum, and I have in no way the intention to insult you or hurt your feelings, in case you feel strongly about the kind of music you like. But: If your opinions stay unopposed, this fine thread might degenerate into a meeting place for opera-buffs, classical-music-buffs and who-knows-what-else-buffs !

Music is NOT about singing notes that other people cannot sing ! It is about sounds that massage your brain cells and make your neurons fire ! Please have a look at this https://www.physicsforums.com/showpost.php?p=1800580&postcount=746 post and you will understand what I mean (or so I hope) !

Finally, as an indication that I do not write this with the intention of making you angry, here is a song that is currently high in the German charts and which might be close to your hearts or at least very much closer than to my heart ! I think it is a tragic mistake that this song ever got in our charts, probably because casting shows in general are very popular in Germany, and Paul Potts surely looks like a nice guy. Anyway, here it is:

"Nessun Dorma" by Paul Potts


DISCLAIMER (for all): This is definitely NOT a song I consider one of the best ever, please read the paragraph above for an explanation !

Oberst (as in colonel?)

Perhaps do a search here on Paul Potts and me, to find out that I posted the same link weeks/months ago. Meanwhile, one cannot argue about taste but melody and singing skills combined is what makes the greatest songs.

And you are right, sorry for forgetting to search for his name and the song title first before posting the link.
