Week 2: Songs From Musicals

[Lil Rounds]

Listen (From the musical "Dreamgirls")
Beyonce


"Listen"

Listen,
To the song here in my heart
A melody I've start
But can't complete

Listen, to the sound from deep within
It's only beginning
To find release

Oh,
the time has come
for my dreams to be heard
They will not be pushed aside and turned
Into your own
all cause you won't
Listen....

[Chorus]
Listen,
I am alone at a crossroads
I'm not at home, in my own home
And I tried and tried
To say whats on my mind
You should have known
Oh,
Now I'm done believing you
You don't know what I'm feeling
I'm more than what, you made of me
I followed the voice
you gave to me
But now I gotta find, my own..

You should have listened
There is someone here inside
Someone I'd thought had died
So long ago

Oh I'm screaming out, for my dreams to be heard
They will not be pushed aside or worse
Into your own
All cause you won't
Listen...

[Chorus]

I don't know where I belong
But I'll be moving on
If you don't....
If you won't....

LISTEN!!!...
To the song here in my heart
A melody I've start
But I will complete

Oh,
Now I'm done believing you
You don't know what I'm feeling
I'm more than what, you made of me
I followed the voice, you think you gave to me
But now I gotta find, my own..
my ownn...

What can you say about a musical show? Do you think musical shows influence the youth today based on the songs they sing?
Musicals are wonder to me they tell a story with something I love it singing and Yes I Think it influences todays youth because many young people don't get to experience things like that so its a good chance for me to show it to them

[Randy Jackson]

Listen, dawg… you also picked a good song to sing. You really can and did show your soul with this, you sang it well too. There were a few mistakes, but nothing that major… good job girl!

[Michael Bublé]

This was THE song of the night!This is what we were looking for last week, Whitney Houston week.
