1980s Flashback: Kylie Minogue singing her 1989 hit song, "Wouldn't Change A Thing". Also at the link is a TV interview with a 21-yr-old Kylie talking about her life and career.


Interview: Sexy Jake Shears, lead singer of Scissor Sisters, sat down for this TV interview and shares why he's an exhibitionist and works so hard at staying fit.


Country-folk music star, Mary Chapin Carpenter chats with Rosie O'Donnell in this video clip from the 1990's which is very entertaining. Also check out two of Mary's biggest hits songs: Shut Up and Kiss Me and Passionate Kisses


I'm not a huge country music fan but when an artist like Drake Jensen comes along with such spirit you've got to stop and listen. The Canadian singer is an authentic country performer who sings from the heart. Jensen is also openly gay which makes him a rarity in the country music industry. One of my favorite songs of his is called, "All You Need"  and you can watch the video HERE.

"All You Need" Lyrics:
I was a broken man
You reached out your hand
Your touch brought me back to life
Life had beaten me
Down to the third degree
You gave me strength to stand up right
Now with everything I am... I promise you
I'll give you all you need
Never leave you wanting for anything
When you close your eyes I want to hear your sighs
And know that you're thinking of me
Forever and always I'll give you all you need
Just look at me now
Your love showed me how
To believe in who I am
You support my dreams
Your love gives me wings
Without you there is no plan
Now with everything I am... I promise you
I'll give you all you need
Never leave you wanting for anything
When you close your eyes
I want to hear your sighs
And know that you're thinking of me
Forever and always[x2]
With all of my love.... I'll give you all you need


This is a nice performance by Country Music Legend Dolly Parton and her god daughter Miley Cyrus singing Dolly's classic song, "Jolene".


Shortly after the horrible shooting in Orlando on June 12, 2016, songwriters Eli Lieb, Brandon Skeie, Hillary Bernstein, and Mimoza Blinsson wrote, "Pulse". This song captured what so many were feeling about the tragedy. The lead vocals by Eli Lieb and Brandon Skeie are heartfelt and very haunting. The group has dedicated "Pulse" to the victims of the Pulse Nightclub Massacre and the music video can be watched here.


Another song tribute, this time by Superstars of the Broadway community. This talented group recorded "What the World Needs Now is Love" in honor of the victims of Pulse Nightclub Massacre. Watch video here. You can purchase the song for only $1.99 at Broadway Records. 100% of the proceeds goes to the GBLT Community Center of Central Florida.
