Top 5 "Non-OutSpoken_Diva Style" Songs That Can Do No Wrong to Me(Black Music Month)

It June!!! It is Black Music Month!!! Time to give my perspective on the music of my people. There are some songs that talk about social or personal topics that I don't represent my views or thoughts. But some sound so good you can't help but to enjoy them. Well, I can't help to enjoy. Yes, I'm smiling.

Get Low by Lil John & The East Side ft The Ying Yang Twins
"To the Window to the Wall" The song is about some guys looking for random tail to take home after the club. Yeah, a man asking, "Can I play with your panty line"? will more than likely at least get him at a "What the Hell". Yet, I have popped a few of my best twerks to the song.

Ooops Oh My by Tweet
I can admit to have never felt so good that I masturbated because of it. Maybe because being high(contact) doesn't feel good to me.
There is a quote that says, Drunk minds reveal Sober thoughts. She knew she looked good. Probably knew she needed to self-release before she got high. But I liked the spirit of this song. If you never "looked over to the left" and thought you looked rather fetching, you need to look over to the left until you do.

Husband by Shirley Murdock
Of course, I am not a proponent of extra-maritial affairs. If you are fan of Shirly Murdock, this song came after her hit, "As We Lay". But this song, she didn't know her partner was married. This is why you do your homework. Oh, there was homework back in the 80s. She tells this husband, "Well I'm a lady with class and I know my desire will pass". He made her feel nice but, she will let it go because she is a decent woman. Wonder how this song would be recieved if it came out now, almost 20 years later.

Go On Without You
 by Shirley Murdock

On the same album as "As We Lay", we have this begging song. Apologizing is great. When people are wrong, people should apology. But adding "Please let me back", is not my style.  I'm Queen No Backsies so, that's not a shock. But this song starts so steady with an explaination of the cause. It ends with a strong request with high notes, runs & growls. Who hasn't tried to sing "I'm Wiser Now Because You Left" when singing this song. It's addictive to try. I really hope the guy she is begging back is not that lady's Husband. All that request to find out he's married later. Oh Shirley!

I Have Nothing by Whitney Houston
My cousin, Shaun(Blog Name) & I got a karaoke 100. No, I can't sing. That doesn't mean I won't. I love power ballads.
Whitney Houston was one of the queens in delivering a quality one. But my life doesn't follow the song, I Have Nothing. Life has shown me, people leaving hurts, but people aren't everything. This song is beautiful, though. It starts slows & melodic. It builds with vigor. And it ends sweetly with a long note. It is a definition of "music to my ears", to me. But to the lyric, "Will a memory survive, one I can hold on to", it will & so will you.

Well, that's me singing & dancing to songs whose lyrics & meanings.  I don't truly believe or live. We all have them. So Hey, Bop Away!!!

Ok, I have a debatable bonus. It is If Only For Night originally by Brenda Russell, but made famous by Luther Vandross. Was he singing to a married woman or a crush?
Since they sometimes paired it with the song, Creepin', I say Crush.
