Christina Aguilera - BEAUTIFUL (#241 Position)

I give myself up to Cello-songs. No options. I like it all of them.
"Beatiful" has also a violin and a piano so I´ve no way out.

In the other hand, this song really upset me: I didn´t like those kind of slow Elton John ballads, i didn´t like those brat singers like Britney, I hated those melismas the way Mariah Carey did... But i discovered Beautiful and I was speechless: I got excited abut that voice singing in Eb key and about those 7 notes for each syllable, and thas sloooow tempo.

I guess the credit for that it´s not just Christina but that hit-songwritter called Linda Perry (yes, the lead singer of that one-hit band: 4NonBlondes). A talented woman who has also written "What You Waiting For?" outburst for my dear Gwen Stefani.

Elton John - TINY DANCER (#305 Position)

Sshhh! Let´s speak quietly
I hope nobody is hearing me now.

Furthermore, I´ve banned myself about telling you how i like this song.
To be honest, I´ve just want to say that one second before the "Hold me closer tiny dancer.." part,

.. i usually feel a tickling on my neck.

Am i gay?

Blind Melon - ST. ANDREW´S FALL (#400 Position)

Last from the list for a special song by Blind Melon. A riddle song, sometimes hypnotic, sometimes confused. Blind Melon shines when plays acoustic so you can feel their folk roots. This sweet song, stringed instruments included, starts like a mix of old JethroZeppelinYes tune and suddenly the guitars stop while Shannon´s voice flies alone and then it falls gradually but the strings come again, speed up, and unavoidable all crash.. and the acoustic guitar starts again...

Oh, are you talking about a woman that jumped off a building? Well, it doesn´t matter

The Shangri-Las - REMEMBER (WALKING IN THE SAND) (#55 Position)


It´s unbeliavable how these girls with an average age about 16 years old could give that insane feelings to that song (by Shadow Morton) in 2:16. Composed as a summer hit, in 1964, "Remember" goes beyond its own triviality and grow in with a set of beautiful voices offering a "uuuuh-ahhhh" chorus that sends shivers down my spine. You´ll see yourself with her, walking in the sand, walking in the shore, hearing the seagulls, looking at the sea, waiting for the man, listening her wails: "oh no, oh no, oh no no no no no".

Once again, Steven Tyler revealed me this song. Aerosmith covers this song 29 years ago like they did with other "hair stand on end" song performed by a woman 27 years ago: "Cry Me A river". i´ll tell something about this awesome one someday. Such a good taste, Tyler.
