Performance of the Day: Jimi Hendrix, Voodoo Child

If anyone can make that shirt, pant, head piece work, it's Jimi Hendrix.  Guy can flat out shred.

I can dig it.

Music Video of the Day: Eminem - The Real Slim Shady

A few months ago, Billboard posted their poll results for the ten best music videos from each of the past three decades. Today, your MVotD comes from The 10 Best of the '00s (link here). I will never understand how this song was only #7. Especially when you consider that the following artists had higher-ranked music videos: Lady Gaga, Britney Spears, Panic! At The Disco, and Michael Jackson (who was surprisingly not retired yet). Enjoy:

Performance of the Day: Billy Joel, Piano Man

This is a classic.  Brilliant song that I never really understood until a short while ago, which is relatively embarrassing.

Music Video of the Day: Creed - Higher

I love Creed. Remember the last video I said was the best (drunk) singalong song ever? Well I lied. It's Creed. Anything by Creed. The #creedvoice is one of my favorites. I chose Higher because I want to ask my Bullet fans a question:

Fill in the blanks:

"Come on, let's go there

Let's make our escape

Come on, let's go there

___________________"

Because I have absolutely no idea what Scott Stapp is saying. Wesjuscanyeseah? That's the best I can do. 

PS: one of the guys in Creed has a nipple piercing?

The "there's a hunger, longing to escape" line might be my favorite line to sing in the history of song. 

Performance of the Day: Lee Dewyze: Dear Isabelle

Despite my opinion of him when he was on the show, I love Lee Dewyze.  This is my favorite song of his.

Music Video of the Day: Coldplay, Paradise

Quite honestly, I have no idea if Jason's still alive.  Hopefully, for everyone's sake, he is.

Anyway, I thought this video was certainly interesting, I mean who doesn't enjoy watching an elephant try to live the life of a human?  And I give mad props to that elephant for riding the unicycle, something I've always wanted to do, although not necessarily as an elephant.

Not my favorite song, but it's up there as far as videos are concerned.

Performance of the Day: Queen, Bohemian Rhapsody

I can't believe it took me this long to post this song.  You can say what you want about Freddie Mercury, but Queen is one of the greatest bands of all time, and the man can flat out sing.  Also, this is one of the best songs ever written.  Do you realize how many people are there?  They certainly put on a good show.
