If you’ve never heard Idina Menzel sing you’re in for a real treat today. She’s a Tony Award winning actress, singer, and songwriter and the video is from her new solo album, “I Stand”. Idina’s voice has a distinctive and lovely tone and the lyrics to the song Brave are uplifting and empowering, the perfect follow-up to my previous post. You can hear other cuts from the album on her website by clicking on her name. I’m going over to iTunes right now to download a few of her songs!

Okay if you haven’t seen it yet, here it is, the cutest critter video on YouTube to date and now set to a Beatle’s song. It’s spring (the coldest spring in bookbabie’s memory, but still) and love is in the air!

The exchange of information on the web is mind boggling, sometimes for the better, and yes, sometimes for the worse. But what I like most about the web is how it gives us all equal access to people, art, and music that we never might have known. I stumbled across this band on YouTube today. The Plain White T’s are five boys from the heart of the Midwest who can really sing. Lead singer and songwriter Tom Higgenson was injured in a car accident in 1999 and the near death experience gave his life and writing a depth that many young performers simply don’t have. I hope the boys don’t mind an old, new fan.
