Cher - The Ballad Collection

There have been many greatest hit collections for Cher because she has had so many hits. So I decided to make a collection of ballads which is something that has yet to be done with Cher's music. Some of her best love songs together with some of her strongest power ballads. Also featuring her newest song from the motion picture 'Burlesque', 'You Haven't Seen The Last Of Me', the amazing 'Main Man' and her cover of 'Many Rivers To Cross' live from the Mirage in Las Vegas. Plus no Cher collection would be complete without classics such as 'If I Could Turn Back Time', 'I Found Someone' and 'Bang, Bang (My Baby Shot Me Down)'.

My Own Songs: End Of This World

After whats happened in London and surrounding areas, a song that I wrote a few months ago seems like it needs to be posted.

End Of This World

James Betts, 2011

Fires are still raging, not enough water to put out this trouble
No idea what they’re doing or who is under the rubble
How many and how young before its time to stop
Wait til’ it’s someone you know

Do you know where your children are?
Because it's gone 12 o'clock

And they're somewhere out on the street
Just imagine how scared they are
Talk about another day in paradise

This devastation just has to stop before the devastation stops us
Sort a plan that brings us all together if it’s just for the sake of love
Don’t let this be the end of something, which could really be something
Nation form with nation for the sake of devastation

Save the man that is falling next to you, don’t kick him when he’s down
Save the girl who’s crying beside you, don’t just listen to the sounds
Maybe there is no one there to save you and offer redemption
Help everyone and anyone, bound by no exemption
Don’t wait til’ it’s someone you know

Do you know where your children are?
Because it's gone 12 o'clock
And they're somewhere out on the street
Just imagine how scared they are
Talk about heal the world

This devastation just has to stop before the devastation stops us
Sort a plan that brings us all together if it’s just for the sake of love
Don’t let this be the end of something, which could really be something
Nation form with nation for the sake of devastation

[CHANT]
Watch as they set fire to the flame
Nation form with nation for the sake of devastation
Watch as you don’t recognise the same
Nation form with nation for the sake of devastation

Walls are falling all around to reveal old battle lines
SOS received but nothing believed this time
Another child dies, another son, another girl
I don’t want to see the end of the world
Rules in place but no one to abide
When the days all finish and you know in time
If nothing ever changes, if no one fights to win this war,
If old mistakes are being held
Someday soon someone’s gonna see the end of this world

This devastation just has to stop before the devastation stops us
Sort a plan that brings us all together if it’s just for the sake of love
Don’t let this be the end of something, which could really be something
Nation form with nation for the sake of devastation

Nothing’s turned to something but nothing’s being done
Surely someone’s watching to finish what’s begun

'End Of This World' samples an unreleased Michael Jackson song entitled '12OClock (Do You Know Where Your Children Are?)'

Scotty McCreery - I Love You This Big - Music Video

Here is Scotty McCreery's long awaited music video for his hit single 'I Love You This Big'.

London Riots

Last night there were severe riots throught London and surrounding areas. Found some pictures online of the town I live in. Sad seeing shops I used to go in in such a bad state. All the people out of jobs, out of homes and for what?

Comedy Week: Day 2 - Hugh Laurie Sings 'Mystery'

Here is Hugh Laure of 'House' fame, performing a song called 'Mystery' on 'A Bit Of Fry And Laurie'. Makes me laugh every single time.

Not only one of the best moments in American TV sitcom 'Frasier', but one of the funniest moments on TV. Niles Crane prepares for a Valentines date with disastrous results.

James Blunt - So Far Gone

I am really loving this song at the moment.

Jessie J

I been listening to alot of Jessie J lately after seeing her on Alan Carr Chatty Man. Her music is very different and her new single 'Who's Laughing Now' is great. Here are the three music video's she has released so far including a live version of her hit 'Nobody's Perfect' which gives you a chance to see her vocal ability.

Avril Lavigne - AOL Sessions

In light of her new 'Black Star' Tour, Avril Lavigne gave a very good performance at AOL Sessions. Here are some of the highlights including 'What The Hell', 'Girlfriend', 'My Happy Ending', 'I'm With You' and her new single 'Smile'. They really show how amazing her voice is and how she can effortlessly belt out the big notes.

JLS - She Makes Me Wanna

Here is JLS's new single 'She Makes Me Wanna' featuring Dev. The song is very catchy and you can't help but like it. It is very simular to some of their previous singles such as 'The Club Is Alive' and 'Eyes Wide Shut' but it is still a good song.

Pixie Lott - All About Tonight

Here is Pixie Lott's new single 'All About Tonight'. After the amazing 'Cry You Out' and various other hits that she had it feels as though she has 'sold out' and has chosen to now perform music that is 'fashionable' today. There is no individuality about this new song which is a shame because she was really starting to shape her own identity in music. Here is the music video.

Take That - Progression

There are so many good songs on the Progress/Progressed albums that I decided to put my favourites together to make my own album, which I am calling 'Progression'.
