Lady Gaga Sounds Fantastic Here!

Lady Gaga sounds fantastic here in her collaboration with music legend Tony Bennett for the classic, "The Lady Is A Tramp". She can do standards like a pro - I love the way she sounds! She sounds so alive!

My Favorite Songs of 2011: #37 - Cher - You Haven't Seen the Last of Me

The ageless Cher continues to astound me! I actually thought that after her tour, she wouldn't record anymore, but voila, because of Burlesque, she comes up with this inspirational song , 'You Haven't Seen the Last of Me"' which won the Best Song Award in this year's Golden Globe Awards. The award though went to the songwriter, the hitmaker, Dianne Warren. To those who are familiar with Cher's discography, this song actually sounds like vintage Cher, I guess that's why it became a hit!

My Favorite Songs of 2011 by International Artists: #38 - Chris Colfer - As If We Never Said Goodbye

I actually thought Barbra Streisand's rendition of this song was already the bar where all the other singers have to measure up to - then Chris Colfer of Glee comes out with this stunning version - which always gives me goosebumps! Give this guy an Emmy already - or does he have one already? There is something magical about the way he interprets the showtunes and to think he's still very young! I don't know where in this season he sang this song but independent from that - his version of this classic is just beautiful, to say the least!

My Favorite Songs of 2011: #39 - Glee Cast - Unpretty/I Feel Pretty

Ever since Glee came out, a few of their songs always make it to my personal year end list. This year, two of their songs make it to the final cut. I didn't actually watch this season's Glee due to lack of time - maybe during the Christmas break. Anyhow, when I heard this song, I immediately fell in love with the way they mashed it up! I was also a big fan of the TLC original!

My Favorite Songs of 2011: #40 - Beyonce - Love on Top

Beyonce released '4' this year and from that album comes her only song that makes it to my personal Top 40 favorites for 2011, 'Love on Top'. This is my most favorite track from that album. J'adore ton video - and the choreography is easy to follow. I immediately fell in love with this song and I actually thought it could top the charts, since at that time, Beyonce was still struggling to get a hit from this collection. However, the song just topped somewhere in the bottom of the Top 100.
