Live Video of the Day: "This May Be" (Timothy Bloom)


Timothy Bloom dropped "The Budding Rose EP" back in March and since it dropped, the buzz for Bloom has been growing, especially since the visual for "'til The End Of Time" hit. With that said, Bloom recently performed "This May Be," which is off of the EP. Sonically different from his buzz single,"This May Be" shows the diversity in Blooms work and really has my interests peaked as to what a full length album from him will sound like. Either way you feel, check out Bloom performing "This May Be" bellow and Enjoy!

Live Video of the Day: "Miss Independent", "Walk Away", & "Since You've Been Gone" (Kelly Clarkson)


Though fans of Ms. Clarkson will have to wait until September for her highly anticipated forthcoming album, Kelly stopped by the Ellen Show earlier today to perform a medley of her hits which included "Miss Independent," "Walk Away," & "Since You've Been Gone." Though the medley is a taste of Clarkson's former hits, it really showcases what a phenomenal voice the original American Idol has. Kelly in my book has one of the greatest voices in music today hands down. Her voice is so soulful, gritty, and full of emotion. Check out her medley bellow and Enjoy!
