Michael Buble "Everything"

This is a video of Michael Buble singing his popular song, "Everything" live at Madison Square Garden.  He is a crooner singer from Canada who covers songs by popular artists like Frank Sinatra and he also has some songs of his own, this being one of them.  I have had the pleasure of seeing Michael Buble live three times and all three times were the best concerts I have ever been to.  The way he carries himself is effortless and his voice is great.  This video does not do his voice or the sound of his live band justice.  His band is so powerful.  He is such a good performer and interacts with the crowd like they are all his friends.  His audience goes from little kids to grandmothers because he is so versatile.  He always wears a suit which gives his concerts a sense of class.

Newsies "King of New York"

This is a clip from the musical Newsies (1992) starring Christian Bale.  It it about poor orphaned boys who sell newspapers for money.  Eventually the boys go on strike and stick together by singing songs.  This song is about what it would be like to make it big.  All they have ever known is the poor life.  The music and choreography in the movie is so good and helps express the emotions of the boys.  I personally love this movie and it has recently made it to broadway.  I used to watch this movie every day when I was little.  I think it is definitely one of the best musicals I have seen.

Peter Hollens Accapella

I came across this video months ago and thought it was so interesting.  Peter Hollens records cover songs of numerous popular songs and posts them on YouTube.  He is the only person singing, but records himself singing all of the parts of the song, harmonizing amazingly.  It is so interesting to hear how he can sing all the parts of the song to make it sound like a group of people.  I have watched other videos that he has posted and sometimes he adds in some hand claps for more sound.  I think this song is so good on its own, but Peter Hollens makes it sound so much better.  It is so clean and sounds perfect.  He is truly a talented musician.

Naturally 7

Naturally 7 is vocal group from New York City. They originated in 1999 and still perform today.  They play the role of an a cappella group and a traditional band without the use of any instruments.  They came up with the idea of becoming a "vocal play" group because they sing as instruments.  I have had the opportunity to see Naturally 7 perform three times while they toured with Michael Buble. Their opening show was about an hour long and was the most entertaining and interesting music performance I have ever seen.  Watching Naturally 7 on Youtube does not do them justice.  Their unique sound of impersonating instruments is so perfect, it took me awhile to believe they were not using any actual instruments at all.  Their sound is so convincing, it is like seeing a show with a full traditional band.  They also sing very well and interact with the crowd during their whole performance.  I would love to see them again and I recommend every one to see them live at least once.  Their talent is worth it.
