TUNE IN TUESDAY


Hi all! Tune in Tuesday is a meme hosted over at GReads that showcases music.  This week it's the Book Edition, which means pairing great songs with great books.  I've been watching so much of The Voice lately (totally my guilty pleasure/obsessionJ) that I couldn't resist sharing some of my faves!

First off, Jamar Rogers's rendition of Seven Nation Army and Tahereh Mafi's Shatter Me.  I just think this song and the way he performed it was so bad a**.  Could totally be either Juliette's or Warner's theme song.



Next, Lindsey Pavao singing Say Aah.   I've paired it with Ward's Dark Lover (the first book of BDB) b/c it's smooth yet gritty, more than a little in your face, and Pavao's voice gives it a dangerous quality.  And Ward's writing is always all of those things ;D



Then, of course, I have to include my favorite audition: Jesse Campbell singing A Song For You.  I had to pair a favorite with a favorite, so I went with Anna and the French Kiss.  The man is so darn likable! Doesn't hurt that he has a powerhouse voice and is so modest about it.  Just wow!!



And as an added bonus…Jamie Lono's version of Folsom Prison Blues.  No book, just Jamie.  I LOVE that guy!



Do any of you watch The Voice???  If not, look up; four great reasons why you might want to start*wink wink*

Have a great one,

Ninja Girl

    1. Thanks, I loved that one, too. It was really cool how Jamar took it in a little bit of a different direction than the White Stripes. Just as edgy but with a little more raspiness--which I loved :)

  2. This show looks so good! I'd never heard of it before since it's not shown in Scotland but I may have to look it up online. I loved your choice for Dark Lover. Seven Nation Army and Folsom Prison Blues were amazing too :D

    1. YES, Jamie was like my favorite person to audition. He was just so cute and his rendition of Folsom Prison Blues was just so hardcore. Guess I have a thing for the unexpected!

  5. YES! I'm am SUCH a Voice watcher. If only you could have seen me live tweeting along with the show last night...lol. I did really like Jamar's rendition! And Lindsey! I normally am not the biggest fan of the song she picked, but her cover and her unique voice really made me like it!

    1. Live tweeting, you say? That sounds like so much fun :D I can't believe only one person turned for Jamar; that was my only beef w/what happened. He was just so great!

    1. Oh, I loved Anna! Also, loved Jesse, so I had to pair them together. I thought Etienne might've felt similar about Anna :D
      And those cool light-up chairs? Yes, they are awesome!
