YOUTUBE CHANNEL:

I so am rather childishly excited because my close friend Pip and I recently made our first Youtube Channel , woop woop :D

Haha, I don't know why I'm so keen, but anyway, as soon as our final exams for this year are over, we'll hopefully be posting some videos of us singing, so yeah, check it out if you want :) Although be I'm serious, please don't be mean, rather don't say anything at all.
The channel has nothing on it at the moment except our views, so don't look now, try in about a month :)

To finish off easy listening, I thought I'd do ABC by the Jackson 5.

Its one of my favourite songs and my school ensemble are doing it at the moment because we are performing it soon at a benefit. Its a really fun, lively song and young Michael Jackson's voice is beautiful. Its one of those you can listen to over and over, although at times, I tend to find it a little repetitive. But anyway, see what you think.

SUNDAY MORNING- Maroon 5

This is one of my ultimate easy listening songs. Its the perfect, laid-back song that we all know and love. Maroon 5 have definitely proved their versatility in genres ranging from Moves like Jagger and Misery to covers of Mandy and then to this, but of all their stuff, this is one of the good ones! Take a listen! This song is the perfect example of how a strong, continuous melody and a catchy chorus can form a great song...I love the quite jazzy introduction of the piano in the beginning and although I find the drums possibly a little over-whelming at times, they are really well done for most of the time. There is also an electric guitar very subtly playing in the background which further elevates the song.

EASY- LIONEL RITCHIE

 Please forgive me if this is the wrong original artist because so many have covered it that google nor YouTube have given me a legit answer yet. Honestly, I am not going to say more, click play and you'll know why this is one of my favourite easy listening songs. Enjoy!

My Rating: 82%

Quite honestly, I actually prefer Maroon 5's cover of this, its almost exactly the same, but I just like their voices a bit more, so see what you think, feel free to comment and let me know which
 you prefer or of any other great covers of this :)
