Hallo,
Like everything else I enjoy, my music tastes are colorful, sometimes downright strange. Here are five of my favorite artists with a sample of music for each from le YouTube. Along with prayers, these awesome singers have gotten me through many a Tuesday, and I hope they will do the same for you! These are not by any means the only singers I enjoy, and they are not in any order of preference. They are just some of my favorites who came to mind first in a random order.
I do not claim any rights to the music videos, the songs, the lyrics, or the artists. All rights go to the original video uploaders, the singers/musicians, and song writers. Enjoy!
Claude Barzotti (Belgian-born, Italian-raised, French-singing)
Le Rital: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=gPXtKGuG9rw
Margaux Avril (French, French-singing; her birthday is two days after mine!)
L'air de rien: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=h5ztosKIqp8
Helmut Lotti (Belgian, sings in just about every language)
Очи чёрные (a traditional Russian song): https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=LIWQE-8t5ew
Lena Meyer-Landrut (German, won Eurovision for Germany in 2010)
Touch a New Day: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=6WIEQBeIoS0
Jonatan Cerrada (Belgian, French-singing, represented France in Eurovision 2004)

After making this list, I realized that three of the five artists who first came to mind are Belgian-born. I wonder if this is entirely a coincidence or if Belgian blood and good voices go hand-in-hand?
Enjoy!
Oh, and let's not forget Elvis! But, of course, he goes without saying, so I didn't include him in my list :). I don't really need to provide a YouTube link for him, do I? It was a night, oo-oo what a night it was it really was...such a night...
