GLEE HIGHLIGHTS: don't rain on my parade / and i'm telling you i'm not going / you can't always get what you want / my life would suck without you

[holy shizz!!! if i could give a standing ovation to this lea michele recording i will. this is just incredible!]

[it was only a matter of time that amber riley would sing this song. and well... she sings it!]


glee cast - you can't always get what you want (rolling stones cover)
[everything sounds bland after hearing those two above performances, but the fact that they are doing rolling stone covers on this show is pretty darn amazing]

hype wongie: let the jennifer hudson hype train continue

[from my pop culture blog wongie's world]
if there's one thing that about dreamgirls that i still get goosebumps about, it's the fact that jennifer hudson is truly one of the most amazing discoveries in awhile. with her golden globe nomination and imminent oscar nod in a few weeks, i still go a little loopy when i hear this young lady sing. here are some interviews she's been doing of late:

but not before you watch this girl sing.

beyonce - listen (from 'dreamgirls') (world premiere)

beyonce - listen (thanks to the awesome blog chris picks)
[i'm absolutely giddy cause tomorrow i'm going to watch dreamgirls and i'm a little bit worried that i've personally overhyped the movie to a point of letdown. of course i'll do a brief reaction to it when i get back, but until then, here is the official 1st video of the film. so drama that it's karaoke ready!]

beyonce feat ghostface killah - irreplaceable (remix)

beyonce's "irreplaceable" is fast becoming THE song of the season. garnering new fans from various radio formats and a write up in the NY Times about her current resurgence in the charts (#3 and rising), B is definitely proving that her music career isn't on the drop off (personally, i never felt that way).

on the eve of the dreamgirls release, i celebrate beyonce's return to the top of the pop with a remixed version of one of the best songs of 2006.
