Lady Gaga singing the Sound of Music's songs

I came across this youtube video yesterday and was very surprised to see it !!!  Lady Gaga - The Sound of Music clips, Full Tribute with Julie Andrews [2015 Oscars]      It was showing up on January 2015 but I don't have habit to watch Oscar show, so I didn't know about it.  It's Lady Gaga , singing music of classic movie " the Sound of Music " !!!  It's amazing !!! When she sings her original songs, I was feeling Lady Gaga has unique voice but never knew she can sing classic songs so wonderfully. She is a fantastic singer! I really love it , so watched it several times !  It's so nice to see different part of Lady Gaga , singing the wonderful classic songs. I love the movie so much, so I'm so happy to see it.  Also very surprised to see Julie Andrews in it !

FBF ( Flash back Friday ) - Memorable song "Jolene" by Olivia Newton John

'Jolene' 1976 by Olivia Newton John  This is another memorable music/song which I really loved.  However I didn't know who was the singer or what title of music until 2 days ago.   When I first listened to this song " Jolene " , I was 13 years old, in the first grade of middle school in 1976.    In the middle school, I was belonging with an Acting club for 3 years in the school 's club activity which all the students needed to join and which was in Friday afternoon, also after class.   It had many kinds of categories, which are indoor and outdoor.  I chose acting club, because I was interested in that but I also admired to belong with tennis club and Kendo club.  However when I joined the trial for all of them, tennis club and Kendo club and also all the other outdoor activities, they required to run marathon for training.  Marathon was one of my most disliked things , so I canceled t...

Tribute to Abba, and to Olivia Newton - John and to 1970's Disco !

Which music makes you cry, makes you feel nostalgic ?  Music which I have great memory with the generation, but haven't listened to them for a long time, almost 30 years makes me so nostalgic, and made me tears.  I love this feeling.  Recently, my husband and I enjoy listening & dancing to 1970s music.   I'm so surprised to know Abba 's songs are still on top of the sales in Sweden, and still listened to all over the world.  The two men in Abba , Bjorn Ulvaeus and Benny Andersson , who composed all their music are definitely music genius.  And the two Abba lady singers, Agnetha Faltskog and Anni Frid Lyngstad have the voices of angels.  They had sold over 370 millions in album sales, and are still selling millions of CDs each year, making them one of the top selling music artists in history.  My husband's favorite ladies singers are Olivia Newton- John and Abba's Agnetha Faltskog .   I think these two have a...
