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...

Song Review: Tip it On Back by Dierks Bentley

Before I get to my review, I want to give a shout-out to the Dierks Bentley Congress aka the @dbcongress. They are members of the Dierks Bentley fan club dedicated to supporting and promoting Dierks any and every way possible. They have a blog page,  found here , which includes links to their Facebook page and twitter account that you'll find to the right when you click on the link. If you're a Dierks Bentley fan and aren't following them, you really should be. They're pretty much my go for anything Dierks related - articles, interviews and so on. They also keep everyone updated on where his songs are on the charts and post all sorts of links to places to request or vote for his songs. Well worth the follow, I assure you. Last month they had the opportunity to interview the three gentlemen who wrote "Tip It On Back" - Ross Copperman, Tully Kennedy and Jon Nite. I strongly recommend that you go and read it as it's a very enjoyable read. You can find it  h...

Video Spotlight: Bring Him Home by 7th Ave

We continue my  Les Misérables celebration with an offering from one of my new favorite groups, 7th Ave. I've written about them before and undoubtedly will continue to do so as I have really enjoyed everything I've seen from them so far.  When I was coming up with the Les Mis related videos that I wanted to highlight, this was a pretty obvious choice and when you watch it you'll see why. It's an a cappella rendition of "Bring Him Home" and that's all I'm going to say about it for now. This cover features Kelley Jakle (the blonde one) who made the decision to leave the group earlier this year to pursue other projects. I don't think I've written about them since it was announced that she was leaving. She has a beautiful voice and I'm happy that 7th Ave introduced me to her. I wish her the best moving forward, along with the remaining members of 7th Ave. They've done some covers with some guest artists that have been great. I'm exci...
