Everybody's got their life to live

Last night's theme was Songs I've Never Sung Before

1. It Don't Matter to Me -- Bread
2. Common People -- Pulp
3. With You I'm Born Again -- Billy Preston and Syreeta [duet with [livejournal.com profile] vfc]
4. A Little More Love -- Olivia Newton John
5. The Difficult Kind -- Sheryl Crow [duet with [livejournal.com profile] iamthesphinx]
6. Touch Me In the Morning -- Diana Ross
7. After All -- Cher and Peter Cetera [duet with [livejournal.com profile] vfc]

I also jumped on stage and helped a stranger sing Toto's Africa as well as crashing [livejournal.com profile] iamthesphinx's version of Kelly Clarkson's Walk Away.

The Diana Ross one was a little rough because it was in some weird key I couldn't follow and its not like its an easy song in general. I should have just ignored the backing track and sang the version in my head -- that's actually what I do with "Since U Been Gone". But singing that Olivia Newton John song was a dream come true. Ronnie the KJ was chatting with us occasionally and came up and said, hey, I have my personal collection here so if there's something you don't see, ask. And I immediately asked about ONJ. And he had it. And now I want to sing it every time I'm there.

Oh...I love that song "A Little More Love" Rock on you that you got to sing it...

Have you gotten Olivia Newton-John's Video Gold DVDs (part 1 and 2) yet? You should if you haven't!

Livin' in desperate times and Tied Up are the best ONJ videos ever!

Those are awesome...but I'll always have a soft spot for Landslide...that is an awesome video! In her video special that was aired in the late 80s. It was for the album Rumour (which is great)...but it was also a travelogue for Austrailia...there were some awesome video there...ONJ, social commentary and beautiful vistas of Australia...what more could a person want?
