Some Music for the Surviving of Tuesday

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)
         Dites-moi:  https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ufjirSuWr6I

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...
