Country Songs in Winter Olympics Ice Dancing

lindarae — Mon, 15 Mar 2010 02:20:17 +0000

Wow! Time is flying by! I loved watching the Winter Olympics. The pairs ice dancing had 3 dances to country songs this year!! The outfits were even very country. This is first time I recall seeing soo many pairs skate to country songs!! Rock on, y’all~

Emily Samuelson and Evan Bates’ American Folk dance routine was impressive as they skated to a song by the Dixie Chicks. “It was a bit strange hearing vocalized music in a skating event, much less the Olympics where it is highly traditional and conservative.” But, I liked it;)

Music by Johnny Cash and John Denver also made it to the Olympics on Sunday night (Feb. 21). The brother-and-sister duo of John and Sinead Kerr, who are from Scotland and represent Great Britain, danced to Johnny Cash’s version of “I’ve Been Everywhere.”
The French duo of Nathalie Pechalat and Fabian Bourzat skated to John Denver’s “Thank God I’m a Country Boy” in a version credited as being sung by Roy Rivers and Dolly Parton.

I enjoyed them all.

I guess I ended up including the wrong clip of Il Divo-”Amazing Grace”. I’ll try again;) These 4 tenors sing with beautiful harmony! Il Divo \”Amazing Grace\”

Nick Jonas—- Gone Country??

»” Gone Country? The Nashville music community can now count a Jonas Brother as a new member, and it’s not the one whom Taylor Swift called out in “Forever & Always.” According to the trio’s MySpace, Nick Jonas & The Administration was formed this year in Music City as a side project while Kevin was spending time with his fiancé and Joe was abroad. Nick calls on four musicians for the Administration as “guys that I had met and worked with before.” And while he hasn’t revealed who the players are or whether it’s country, he does say the music “is from my heart, and the lyrics I write are from my soul.” Hear the band’s first Nashville-produced project when it’s released in early 2010. “

Gaither Vocal Band–Awesome harmony in the shower!

Country Thunder

Taylor Swift at Country Thunder in WI

I love all of the opportunities here in Wisconsin to see great country artists for a great price! Country Thunder in Twin Lakes has so many artists is four days that it is almost unbelievable. I could almost touch Rodney Atkins, Kelli Pickler, Jake Owen, and Heidi Newfield. Oh, I did touch Jack Ingram! Tim McGraw, Alan Jackson, and TAYLOR SWIFT were super. TAylor put on a unique show—no surprise in that happening.

More Country Graduation Songs

This was the 8th grade graduation song used in Union Grove, WI. It brought tears to my eyes! However, this was not the video that was presented with the song. It was a video of Dick and his handicapped son Rick. The determination of a father in making his son feel worthwhile, challenged, and happy was evident in this video, which I will include here, also.
