Sing IT!

I once told myself that if I prayed hard enough and long enough that one day, maybe I..maybe I could SING!

I practice all the time though no one wants to listen.

But ha! Since I have your attention, you HAVE to listen!

Here’s my rendition of Whitney Houston’s I Will Always Love You!

Just playin, I won’t torture you. Yet.

Aside from imitating classic singers like Whitney, I LOVE to watch musicals.

Oh my gosh! Besides Romance Comedies, the Musical is my favorite movie genre. There’s something about being able to sing out your frustrations and emotions that appeals to me. Here’s a list of the musicals that get me wanting to stand up and sign along, loud enough for everyone I know to tell me to SHUT UP!

GREASE
Grease Lightening! Oh my goodness… From the first song, ‘Summer Lovin” to the finale in the amusement park I know ALL the songs. In fact, at the end of this movie, I cry and cry as I think about leaving my friends and moving on in life. My favorite song from this movie was ‘Beauty School Dropout’.

CRYBABY
This movie is on RIGHT NOW and I have to hurry up and finish this post so that I can watch it!
Favorite quote is “My brother wouldn’t touch your titties with a ten foot pole Lenora. He likes his women bad, not CHEAP!” I remember arguing with my sister over whether or not the female lead was the same girl off of Charles In Charge. I was WRONG!

A CHORUS LINE
Classic! This is classic story telling in song format. Everyone who auditions for the Chorus Line gets to sing their own story! I wish someone would let me sing my own life story! It would probably have my Uncle Luke on most of the soundtrack, a little bit of Mary J. and some Mary Mary as the finale!

BYE BYE BIRDIE
When a young Ohio girl is chosen to kiss a national music star before he gets sent off in the draft to war, her entire small town is turned upside down. When I saw Kanye I felt like I was seeing Birdie Conrad. When Birdie showed up in the small town, the whole town passes out! LMAO!
~singing~ You gotta be sincere, oh, you gotta be sincere! ~faints~ LMAO! You gotta see this movie! It’s great!

SCHOOL DAZE
Let’s not forget Spike Lee’s School Daze. Classic! My favorite song was when the two sororities were having a dance off at the hair salon talkin bout good or bad hair.

You’re just a jigaboo
Tryin to find something to do
Well you’re a Wanna be
Wanna be BETTER than me
Talkin bout good or bad hair!
Whether you’re dark or you’re fair!
Go on and swear
See if I care
Good and bad hair!!!!!!!

Come on, you have half the cast of ‘A Different World’, you got Laurence Fishbourne, you got, Tisha Campbell and many of us were introduced to college life through this movie.

Guaranteed fun for this weekend.

Go get ’em!
