All I want for Christmas is youuuuuu

Mariah Carey's single, "All I want for Christmas" is for sure one of my Christmas songs. Her voice is very angelic and overall has a joyful tone. It really put me in the Christmas spirit. If you haven't listened to this song on Christmas you need to. It's an American tradition.

The Civil Wars

These two amazing singers put their voices together harmonizing many songs and they named themselves The Civil Wars. Their voices are elegant but haunting and sound beautiful together. One of their songs they sing is a cover of the song Disarm by the Smashing Pumpkins which is one of my favorite songs by them. I think the girls voice is one of the best I've heard. Not to mention they are amazing live. If you haven't heard them I recommend it.

Cream 2nd album

Creams second album wasn't all that good to me. His voice sounded very faint in Strange Brew and it didn't start off the album well I'm my opinion. Although I do like the second song Sunshine of your love which is pretty well known I think. His voice sounds a little more powerful and it has a good beat to it.

Muse

You know, I've never been a big fan of Muse but lately I've been listening to a few of their songs and they aren't bad! Muse just came out with a new song, that's way too overplayed on the radio now, called "Madness." It's on their new album "The 2nd Law" and is the second single to be released. I would have to say this is my number one favorite song, for right now. Although this new sound is different than their usual rock band sound. It has more digitally tuned vocals and a programmed drum beat. Matt Bellamy wrote the song after he had a fight with his girlfriend with lines like "I need to know is this real love or is it just madness keeping us afloat, when I look back at all the crazy fights we had, like some kind of madness was taking control, I have finally seen the light, I have finally realized what you mean." The singer said it was "probably his favorite song he's written" and I wouldn't argue that statement. You should listen to it.

Coastin

This song is kind of old but isn't very popular and I feel like it should be. Its a very easy going song and I like it when driving in the car "coastin." I really like how they used a piano in the song and you can hear it so distinctly. The girls voice is very soft making the song relaxed and I also like it because anyone can listen to it. It's not directed towards one specific crowd. You should listen to it if you haven't.

Diamonds

Rihanna has always been one of my favorite singers. She has an airy voice with a warm feeling that makes her singing seem so effortless. Thats what I love about her songs. She can jump from high to low without it sounds forced and I give her credit for her amazing voice. This song has been popular recently whether on Twitter, Facebook, or any other site, but everyone seems to love it. Its called Diamonds and Im gonna have to say it's one of my top favorites of hers. I really like this lyrics because its a bunch of similes and metaphors. Check the song out.
