Rock, Soul and Blues

Got a sick, busy stomach today so I wasnt able to report to work. Instead, I wasted my time lying around with my arms over my head because of the fun waxing session I had with him last night. Hahaha! My armpits are all red with torture. hahaha! (Thank you Shoti for being my patient waxer).

But apart from that, I was glad to catch the 51st Grammys! It was ok.. Katie Perry was a disappointment for me because it was like she gave halfway of what people expected her number would turn out to be. Her confidence wasn't there. Coldplay nabbed several awards along with Krauss and Li'l Wayne. Miley Cyrus and Taylor Swift was together for the first time (Taylor Swift is actually beautiful especially in her video Love Story with Miley Cyrus' boyfriend). Jennifer Hudson was emotional during her performance. Paul McCartney was there and also performed. But the great numbers were by living music legends who performed with other modern artists. Stevie Wonder sang Burnin' Up with the Jonas Brothers but my favorite was Al Green who sang his classic hit Let's Stay Together Justin Timberlake and the Boys II Men (I missed them).

"I'm so in love with you

Whatever you want to do

Is all right with me

'Cause you make me

Feel so brand new

And I want to spend

My life with you"

I love love this song because it brings me back to the early days where music was rich of soul. Classic jazz days. This is why I was into Boys II Men back in the days cos' they have somewhat similar type of sound.

Some of my classic favorites: songs by Boys II Men, I Want You Back by the Jackson 5, songs by Stevie Wonder, Somebody to Love by the Queen, etc.
