Video Spotlight: Epic Disney Medley by Peter Hollens and Alex G

Seeing as how I started Disney month with his wife, it felt appropriate to feature Peter next. Well, Peter and his duet partner Alex G. This is an a cappella medley, so everything you hear is coming from Peter and Alex. I really enjoy the way their voices sound together and they play off each other very well too. That makes it more fun to watch.

But did they live up to the epic part of the title? I'd say so. From the costuming to the filming locations to the boxes featuring their harmonizing selves, it's very appealing, visually speaking. They picked a great group of songs so it's a treat for the ears as well. Watch.




This was one of the first Peter videos I ever watched and I think this is the video that introduced me to Alex G. It's got to be one of my most watched videos of Peter's. I've determined that I could listen to Peter sing just about anything, but when he sings Disney, that's usually on a different level. His voice is so well suited for it. As is Alex G's.

I like the entire video, but the "Under the Sea" part has to be my favorite to watch. It puts a smile on my face and I usually find myself dancing along with it. I feel like I'm probably not alone on that front. It's so much fun. Then to go from there to "Beauty and the Beast" which I'd say is one of my favorite parts, vocally speaking. Especially the way they go into "Circle of Life". I like the way the song built up to it. It seems like a bunch of the medleys I've seen stay relatively flat, never leading up to anything, and I find that boring. Sometimes it's the song choices themselves, other times the problem could be fixed by messing with the dynamics more. Or at all. So I appreciate it whenever a medley or song leads up to some kind of big moment. There's a reason why so many Disney songs do that. Are there any Disney songs that don't do that?

I knew that following Evynne's video was going to be a challenge for whoever came next and I do believe that Peter and Alex met it.

Like them and what to keep up with what they're both doing? I got you covered.

Song review: Water Tower Town by Scotty McCreery

I have an odd relationship, or whatever you want to call it, with American Idol. I was interested when I heard about it and watched the first three seasons, got annoyed with the third season and didn't watch the next only to start watching again during the fifth season. I loved the show during its sixth and seventh season, but started getting annoyed with it in the eighth. Sometime between then and now I've gone from being annoyed with it to now hating it as I see it for what it really is. I could go into more detail about that, but I won't. At least not here; maybe at another time. I'm sure many of you are wondering why I'm bothering to bring it up in the first place. Well, it's because I decided to do a review of "Water Tower Town" by the current American Idol for my next song review. Now, if you're a fan of American Idol, you might not like what I'm going to say next, but I ask that you stay with me because it'll end up being importa

Album review: Christmas with Scotty McCreery by Scotty McCreery

First things first, I'm wishing everyone who celebrates a happy Hanukkah! Perhaps that's a strange way to kick off a review of a Christmas album, but it wouldn't have felt right not to include it. And really, when you really think and learn about what each holiday is about you see that in a way the first Hanukkah is one of the things that made Christmas possible. So once again, happy Hanukkah to all who celebrate. Those of you who have read my album reviews know this, but the way I do album reviews is to give my overall opinion and then look at each song individually after the cut. Which means that album review posts can get pretty long. Just a warning. This album came out back in October, but I never listen to Christmas music before Thanksgiving. Hence why there hasn't been a review until now. So what do I think? I think that releasing Christmas albums can be a little risky. The majority of these songs are so well known and loved already. They've been recorded

Video Spotlight: Sam Tsui

I first found out about Sam Tsui from a collaboration that he did with one of my favorite male singers, Peter Hollens. As it turned out, some of my friends are also fans of Sam's and there was a point where I kept seeing people post some of his videos. So finally I decided to go check out his YouTube channel. Turns out, he has all kinds of great covers on there and even some originals. I liked him and knew it was only a mattered of time before I wrote about him.  The only trouble was picking which video to write about first. There were a bunch of strong contenders and it's safe to assume that all of those will get a spotlight at some point down the road. But it was hard to pick. The obvious solution was just to do a video spotlight on Sam himself. We'll be talking about five of his videos. Starting with the first one I saw.
