Unusual - The unmistakable Danny Trejo in the presentation and “The Weeknd” singing “bachata”, and…all this in the best “cabaret” style.. And let's dance to the rhythm of Santana and Musiq…

Yes, she is amazing… Even though I am not attracted to women, I think she is perfect…

This girl is wonderful, she dances a lot, and if her talent wasn't enough, she's also simple and beautiful. I found her first video when I was looking for covers of the song "tainted love", covered by many and also by Marilyn Manson, my favorite version.

Amazing! It's a true "ritual" of Soul Sacrifice…

This song I dedicate to all the “dear” trolls - the comedy of the internet… Those who say it's a woman but it's probably a man/teenager...Who claim to be a man but could be a woman... They have the worst ideas but are happy to "honorably" fulfill the role of being "The nobodies" By the way…I really like Marilyn Manson, I have a musical taste inclined towards the real eccentric…

Depeche Mode - Heaven… When I listen to this song…I close my eyes…I dance slowly and imagine myself in heaven……

Rhythm and blues, often shortened to R&B, is a musical genre that emerged in the United States in the late 1940s, combining elements of blues, jazz and gospel music, and which became very popular among the African-American community. So a "rhythm and blues" song, which has been covered by James Brown, Tina Turner, Creedence, The Rolling Stones, Elton John feat. Mary J. Blige...and many others…like this one which is very special My favorite version is with Ray Charles and The Raelettes (the group that accompanied Ray Charles on backing vocals), and the very special part when backing vocalist Margie Hendrix sings - "baby...!" with her powerful and emotional voice, which for me no one did better……

The Prodigy…forever……

It's very cute, he starts the typical "sway" of the dance and tries to keep his balance...And speaking of "sway"...Usher……

Capoeira emerged in Brazil during the slavery period, when enslaved africans created the practice as a form of defense and resistance, which they used to defend themselves from the “captains of the forest”, responsible for capturing fugitives. To disguise the practice as a fight, capoeiristas used music and dance, creating a “game” that seemed like a “joking”, but which hid combat movements. Capoeira is an afro-brazilian cultural expression and sport, which mixes martial art, dance and music. A video with examples of how capoeira and martial arts mix… And here's a cute little one learning the art……

Yes, I agree, it's more about knowing the story behind the song than listening to it, although I admit that I've seen Billie Holiday's version over and over again… and still do because I love the truth in her interpretation… I liked this song by Sinéad, “Troy”, I didn’t know it, she is really intense and reminds me a little of Björk… Something beautiful and sex to dance to…

After my late discovery… I read that the song was not a success with Prince and his band at the time, however the same song with Sinéad reached the top of the charts in several countries. I think it's a combination of things - while she gives off a more melancholic image, her sweet face singing, the lyrics, melody, everything suited her better, while Prince, even with all his talent, was more eccentric, and therefore it was more likely that she would be more popular. And then…a beautiful and emotional song “Strange Fruit”. Read the true story about the song. The cover was made famous by Billie Holiday, and here performed by Annie Lennox And my favorite version, I'm in love with this interpretation…

I also discovered something I didn't know.. I like Prince, singing, playing various instruments and dancing...and I was looking for something of his and I thought Sinéad O’Connor had written "Nothing compares to you", but it wasn't her, it was Prince..…

I understand what you mean, I hadn't seen and I don't know Marta Sánchez but then I just watched the video and it's really like you said...that's why it's good to choose the ideal song and singer for each duet, even to avoid unnecessary comparisons. Bocelli sang this same song with others but from what I can see, the duet with Marta was a better match, I would say they are in their own style, but on the same level.

I saw that she also sang with Andrea Bocelli, the name of the song is “Vivo por Ella”. And…another video with Sting and the algerian singer Cheb Mami…The song is great, and the lyrics say beautiful things, like for example… “I dream of love as time runs through my hand..”

I really like "Creep" Me too… and if Thom Yorke ever felt weird, shy, and that he doesn't “fit” in anywhere, for me he must have been a “cute” and he didn’t know it… About Moby, the music “Natural blues” is sad but I feel it like a “prayer”… and the music “Why does my heart feel so bad”…I feel like it's sadder… Yes, I like some R.E.M songs, especially this one

Thank you @Needy all these songs that I post are in my heart...and speaking of heart, I love this song, was written by Sting and guitarist Dominic Miller…and I agree and identify with the lyrics when he says: I know that the spades are the swords of a soldier I know that the clubs are weapons of war I know that diamonds mean money for this art But that's not the shape of my heart…

There is always something that touches me in every musical style, I listen to everything and many songs, even if they are old, I eventually listen to them again… Moby…

I don't know this band you posted. And in this style, although deeper...I like Radiohead, but I don't listen much anymore, sometimes…because although many of the songs are to my taste, they are also beautifully disturbing because they are so melancholic…It is said that they don't like to play "Creep" but I love the music, just like I like “No surprises”, “Karma police” and so many others…And for me Thom Yorke is “fu..ing special”…… And a very older video…

Thank you @sneræven for clarifying what Tool is…I hadn't understood and didn't know the band and although it has its own style, it reminded me of the band “Alice in Chains”, and how interesting that is - Tool's vocalist, Maynard, has a close relationship with the band and was friend with Layne, former vocalist of “Alice in Chains” and have already shared the stage together.

Yes, that is a fact too...but Gatsby made me think that there are many "layers" that can be analyzed in this story... The film is an adaptation of a book written a hundred years ago and since then society has maintained its deep-rooted prejudices and they are shown in many details in the film… She, for example, did not love him and chose Tom because he was born into a rich and influential family. The film shows that there is a difference between belonging to the "natural elite" (include in this education, cultural heritage, legitimacy of wealth, social relations), while the origin and wealth achieved by Gatsby could have been obtained in a dubious way... I see the love he says he feels, as well as the wealth he has achieved, as an attempt to be accepted in a society that in reality did not even see him, except for the interest in his wealth and what it provided. The most beautiful and honest feeling was the one I felt in the friendship between Gatsby and Nick. And now…continuing with the videos, let's dance to the sound of this wonderful presentation …

I saw the version with Leonardo DiCaprio a few years ago, and yes, it is something to watch and if by chance the story disappoints you at some point, because I felt that way at some moments, it is still worth it, because the beauty, costumes and photography transform or “mask” some feelings… And when I see Tobey Maguire in Gatsby, then I remember the music played in Spider-Man...…

Yes, you're right, it's not dead...there are good songs, talented people, but it takes time to "panning” and maybe find them... I liked the one you posted...Wolf Alice, i didn't know I've discovered some good ones in movie soundtracks...An example of a band is - “The xx”, whose song - "Together", was part of the soundtrack of the movie - "The Great Gatsby". I like the style of the sensual and whispered vocals…

I didn't know the song, thank you for sharing…About Joan, I read about the relationship they had and the beautiful song “Diamonds and rust”, written by her, reveals a little about what that was… And then from her song, I found the cover with Judas Priest… He was great throughout the performance and especially at (3:48)…

I agree with you, Hendrix did it better, as well as in this song “Like a rolling stone”, also composed by Bob Dylan.
