I'll make this post a quick and happy one. How do I do that? With some videos that will brighten your day, of course!
But before of that, let me introduce to you my childhood crush - ELMO from Sesame Street! Once you watch these videos, its easy to see why Elmo has captivated the hearts of millions of kids in the world. I promise that the videos will put a smile on your face, unless you are some weirdo with a guailan childhood.
I'll start off with this classic, Andrea Bocelli sings Time to Say Goodnight to Elmo. Some people may know that I downloaded this video when I was in Sec 2 and watched it everyday for some time.
Let's have a little country music right now. Martina McBride goes on Sesame Street to sing That's Pretending with Elmo! Do check out her music too, she sings very meaningful songs dealing with hot issues like abuse.
I'm continuing with country music. Sugarland sings Songs. This one's a personal favourite, not only because I like Sugarland, the song was catchy and relatable. I found the song most musically relevant. The theme was universal, singing songs are for everyone...
Another personal favourite. Norah Jones singing Don't Know Why with Elmo, love her jazzy style and vocals, it's very different from contemporary pop singers. The plot is hillarious mainly because it's childish. "Y" looks cool by the way.
Ellen DeGeneres telling Elmo how their names are actually simillar, though Elmo insists that its different. Ell-en and El-mo, how ingenious...
I'll end with this one. Elmo comes out a little later and doesn't talk but I find Patti Labelle's voice amazing. Singing the ABC in gospel style. If only we were taught the alphabet this way...
Okay, so the lyrical contents of the videos are kiddy (except "Songs" by Sugarland that was rather universal), but they're educational. Elmo is so sweet... There are more Elmo vids online but I just chose a few that I liked best.
Those were the days huh? Finally, I hope that these videos have made your day a better one. Enjoy the remainder of the holidays, that is if you really call it a holiday.
