  • PHIL COLLINS

    Phil Collins

    So tonight was absolutely incredible. My family and I really enjoy the music and personality of Phil Collins, and he was in town tonight for his “Still Not Dead Yet” Tour. My dad made the amazing decision to buy tickets about a week ago and I am so happy he did. Phil Collins, you’re an amazing man.

    For those of you that don’t know who Phil Collins is, first, shame on you. Second of all, he’s the voice behind the entire Tarzan soundtrack in addition to much of the Brother Bear soundtrack. He was in the band Genesis if that rings a bell for anyone and he’s an incredible drummer too. He’s from England and just has so so so much talent. Some of his other well-known songs include “Susussido”, “In the Air Tonight”, and “You Can’t Hurry Love”. These were all songs that my family and I had the pleasure of listening to tonight.

    Phil was such a funny, genuine, and down-to-earth guy. I loved his accent and just love him too. We had seats off to the righthand side of the stage and it was so cool to see Phil and his band up so close. His entire show was a lot of fun and he carried himself in such a classy and just wonderful way. I truly appreciate it when people do that. I don’t understand all of the concerts that people go to where the performers are trashed and carry themselves in such a sad, pathetic way. That kind of stuff just makes me sad. But Phil Collins didn’t make me sad. He was so present and happy to be performing for us. Even though he hasn’t been feeling great lately and recently had back surgery, he was so excited to be in Denver and truly gave us a wonderful concert.

    I hope I have a chance to see Phil Collins again at some point. He’s such a wonderful performer and after tonight, I would love to go to more concerts like his. Concerts are a lot of fun and I feel really blessed to have had the chance to spend some good, quality time with my family. Have a good week everyone! See you next Sunday!

  • Top Ten Disney Songs

    Before starting this blog, I’d just like to say happy birthday to my mom. It was her birthday yesterday, and I love her very much. Happy Birthday Mom!

    Now on with this week’s post. Disney has a pretty good reputation with making good soundtracks for their movies. Each Disney song is unique, catchy, and wonderful in its own way. Here are the top ten Disney songs in my opinion. There’s no possible way I could rank these ten songs, so for this top ten list, these top ten Disney songs will be listed in no particular order.

    Let it Go from Frozen: This song made another top ten list of mine, and it’s now making this one. This song has a powerful message and the instrumentals as well as Idina Menzel’s voice are spectacular.

    When Will My Life Begin from Tangled: Tangled is one of my all-time favorite Disney movies and all of the songs are great to listen to. This one is really upbeat and makes me happy.

    I See the Light from Tangled: Also from Tangled, this song is beautiful and an adorable love song. The first

    You’ll Be in My Heart from Tarzan: This song is a very well known Disney piece. It’s a very special and beautiful song. Phil Collins did a wonderful job singing it.

    Colors of the Wind from Pocahontas: Pretty instrumentals, pretty vocals. This is another classic Disney song, and it sounds good on the piano too!

    Part of Your World from The Little Mermaid: I feel like this song has a lot of emotion and passion in it and that’s what helps it make my top ten list.

    Bet On It from High School Musical 2: When I was younger, High School Musical was big, and so was this song. Sung by Zac Efron, this song was upbeat, memorable, and just great.My sister and I used to dance full out to this song. It was intense. 🙂

    When You Wish Upon a Star from Pinocchio: This song is sweet, inspirational, and a part of every Disney movie in the opening credits. It’s won many awards and has been recognized multiple times for being one of the greatest pieces of music ever.

    The Bells of Notre Dame from The Hunchback of Notre Dame: This movie is famous for its great music and actors. This song is a powerful song that opens up the movie in a good, dramatic way.

    Can You Feel the Love Tonight from The Lion King: The Lion King is another movie by Disney with many awards and achievements for the music as well as the actual movie. This song, Can You Feel the Love Tonight is a well-known, beautiful love song. It’s a song that makes me really happy and relaxed at the same time.

    And there you have it, the top ten Disney songs! All of the songs made through Disney are good songs, but these ten songs each have special meaning to me and are the best, in my opinion. Did any of your favorite Disney songs make the list?

    Have a good week!
