WONGIE COVER OF THE WEEK: frank ocean - at your best (you are loved) (aaliyah birthday tribute)


frank ocean - at your best (you are loved)
aaliyah would have been 36 this weekend, so frank ocean went and did a beautiful cover of the isley brothers classic that the young singer also covered back in 1994 for her debut album 'age ain't nothing but a number'. listening to this just makes me think of the lost possibilities of the young songstress. sigh...

WONGIE POP SONG OF THE WEEK: lady gaga - the edge of glory (video premiere)






lady gaga - the edge of glory (video premiere)
[surprising fan expectation, gaga gives us a very simple one woman video for her soaring pop anthem. i love this song and was hoping for a more celebration of life visual, but this is what the haus of gaga has chosen ...oh well
UPDATE: clarence clemons, bruce springsteens' iconic sax collaborator who is featured in both the song and video, sadly passed today due complications from a stroke. our thoughts go out to his family and loved ones.]
