I like Aretha, hate her rendition of this song.

I think the cast of AVENUE Q should sing "For Now" at Obama's Inauguration.


"The Spectacle has, indeed, an emotional attraction of its own, but, of all the parts, it is the least artistic, and connected least with the art of poetry. For the power of Tragedy, we may be sure, is felt even apart from representation and actors. Besides, the production of spectacular effects depends more on the art of the stage machinist than on that of the poet."
--Aristotle

Who the **** sings "I Dreamed a Dream" at a celebration? It isn't NOT a very happy song.

Wheels of a Dream would be perfect for Obama's Inauguration

AWFUL. It's not a happy song, don't try making it inspirational when your singing of it is LESS than that.

I hope Beyonce doesn't sing at the inauguration. I'm ticked enough that she's already ruined my favorite Etta James tunes. Don't swell her ego even more.


I don't WANT to live in what they call "a certain way." In the first place I'd be no good at it and besides that I don't want to be identified with any one class of people. I want to live every whichway, among all kinds---and know them---and understand them---and love them---THAT's what I want! - Philip Barry (Holiday)

Believe it or not, this recording is on her Greatest Hits album. I don't much care for this rendition either, though...
