First of all, i'm not a big fan of musicaIs. But when I went to see the broadway showing of The Lion King back in March of this year, I absolutely loved it. I was a big fan of the movie when I was a child and I am now a huge fan of the play as well. The music has a great African feel and has a beautifull rhythm. The two most intriguing scenes were Act 1 Scene 1 Pride Rock "Circle of Life" and Act 2 Scene 6 "He Lives in You (Reprise)". The play was beautiful, as is the music. I reccomend it to you all. --Brian

In case it wasn’t clear from the roaring guitars of the Lady Gaga track ‘Electric Chapel,’ the singer confirms that she’s a ‘Heavy Metal Lover’ on a new song from her upcoming release ‘Born This Way.’
Strobing, anthemic beats open the club-ready track followed by Gaga’s vocal styles — which are all over the map (in a good way). The track starts with the attention-grabbing, spoken-word opening line, “I want your whiskey mouth all over my blond south.”
Next comes something of a whisper-sing, followed by Auto-Tuned near-rapping. But what keeps the song going, is the memorable chorus. Just simple “Ooh oohs” give the song enough of a catchy hook to be singing along, even when song title, sung in an electronically-altered voice, follows.
Lyrically, the song is filled with dirty, sexual metaphors, as Gaga fulfills the promise of the deliciously sleazy opening. “Dirty pony, I can’t wait to hose you down,” she sings. “Let’s raise hell in the streets, drink beer, and get into trouble.” It’s not the most poetic lyric ever written, but who cares? Sometimes you just wanna get hammered and cause mayhem.
In the end, it’s the bi-polar elements of a smooth flowing, catchy hook over a hard, grimy backbeat that makes this work. ‘Heavy Metal Lover’ might be one of our favorite dance anthems on ‘Born This Way.’

1. Lady GaGa - Heavy Metal Lover

If you want an explanation for the unlikely rise of Lana Del Rey, it isn’t that hard to find. Ignore accusations of cynical marketing and inauthenticity, or speculation about surgery and Daddy’s money – that’s not important. And don’t get distracted by the YouTube statistics or the online hyperbole, this isn’t about new media. It’s about something older and more mysterious than that; the extraordinary, resilient power of the pop song. For all of her trashy Americana and startling beauty, if Del Rey hadn’t arrived last summer with a song as luminously beautiful as Video Games, none of this would be happening.

One of the most fascinating and enigmatic — if not the most successful — singer/songwriters of the late '60s, Leonard Cohen has retained an audience across four decades of music-making interrupted by various digressions into personal and creative exploration, all of which have only added to the mystique surrounding him.
