Reply to What Actor/Actress that doesn't have a music career has the best song they sang in a movie? by rasta_rocket_88

Eons ago, the late Gloria Grahame played Ado Annie in the film version of Oklahoma! (1955). Gloria was tone-deaf, not a singer, and had been dubbed when called to sing in earlier movies. But as the song "I Cain't Say No" is very much a character song, the decision was made that she sing it herself. So the story goes that they sat her in a studio and had her sing a line, record it, then do the next line, record it, painstakingly making sure she stayed on key, and line by line cobbled a complete vocal take.

The result? Seamless perfection, a hilarious and memorable performance and rendition. Decades later, long away from the Hollywood scene, Grahame was pleased as punch when she still received residuals from the movie soundtrack.

Reply to Will an Oasis reunion finally happen – and do we really need it? by LarryPeru

Noel doesn't really want it or need it. He'll do it if his brother admits he needs him, but Liam's never going to do it. I don't see it happening. Only way they're going to reconcile is if Liam admits he screwed up and drove Noel away.

I personally don't want it. Noel's been making the best music of his career since leaving Oasis and he's been in a solid groove since topping the charts is no longer his main priority.

Reply to “Lose Yourself” is one of Eminem’s worst songs by Peon-Flux

Its success as a single can be attributed to its genre crossing qualities. I live in LA and its one of the only rap songs that gets played on KROQ, which is family known for rock music.

The opening riff is iconic. Solid lyrics and flow throughout. Would be curious to know what issues you have with it.

I've been a fan of Eminem since I was 12. I can say confidently that he has released a couple albums over the years where there probably wasn't a single song as good as Lose Yourself. So no way its one of his worst songs.
