Boyz II Men - A Song For Mama



Yesterday it was Mothers Day in the country my oldest daughter live in.
So I got phone calls and a video from her via Facebook....



This song is not my normal tune that I listen to, but its fantastic and
Gosh It just freaked me out in a good way..
Sitting there tears rolling down, and Wow what can I say.
My doughter or let me refrase it, my Children are the most fantastic kids in the world!

So today I want to give this to every Mama on our planet to tell you what a
important and lovely task you have gotten through giving birth to a child.

Love it, show them right from wrong, be their friend, their guidance in a trouble world.
Youre the most important woman among your kids, you know.



This is preformed by a group I heard in the 90´s Boyz II Men.
The group, known originally as Unique Attraction, was founded during 1988 at the Philadelphia High School for Creative and Performing Arts, in Philadelphia, Pennsylvania. There, friends Nathan Morris and Marc Nelson organized several R&B singing groups, most of which ended quickly. Eventually, they found a winning formula by recruiting tenors Wanya Morris and Shawn Stockman and bass Michael McCary.
The group would rehearse in the high school's bathrooms, due to the excellent acoustics. They found inspiration in New Edition's harmonies and routines, and eventually renamed the group "Boyz II Men", after one of New Edition's songs.

They done 9 studio albums and a bunch of compilations and 3 dvd´s.
They are definitely the best group in emotional songs...



Ah well To U All Mothers!!!

Love, Thetania

Missy Elliot - Lose Control



Do ya all know Melissa Arnette Elliott? Thought so, if I say:
At the age of four in 1975, she wanted to be a performer,
though she knew no one took her seriously, as she was always the class clown...
Hip hop R&B...
She is an American recording artist, producer, actress and former member of the R&B band Sista as well as the Swing Mob collective...

Of course, Missy Elliott!

This energic lady with her energic dancers preformed on the last day of the Stockholm Jazz Fest. Marvelous and very much beat.


She did 7 albums first in 1997 and last in 2010.
I took this tune from her 6th album called The Cookbook.


Lets get into the grooove with Missy E

Love Yah all,
Thetania

Beyoncé Gisele Knowles (born September 4, 1981), best known mononymously as Beyoncé.
Is an American R&B singer, songwriter, record producer and actress.
Knowles rose to fame in the late 1990s as the lead singer of the girl group Destiny's Child. Knowles released her début solo album, Dangerously in Love, in June 2003. Her third solo album, I Am… Sasha Fierce, was released in November 2008, and spawned the worldwide hit "If I Were a Boy" witch is today's tune :)
Beyoncé is her European tour ATM, yesterday she visit Stockholm/Globe to give a show.
And whoosh, what a show, amazing. I'm not into this style of music at all but i must say that this girl can sing, oh yes she can sing.
The production was big, same size as Metallica is travelling with, a few more buses on the Knowles side :)
The stage set was like a glittering palace with loads of Acrylic Blocks, looked really nice. The band was all girls and yes they played great, tight and well played.
I really liked the guitar player Bibi McGill, she was the one that you will notice.
Great player. Well it was a perfect show for the fans, everything was done in perfectly, well rehearsed.
