Music has quite a big influence on life rather you’re a singer, rapper, student, or even a pastor. I believe that some songs should be heard more than others simply because of the messages, passion behind the vocals and the all around enjoyment. My top songs consist of big name stars that have blessed us with powerful music that gives us a reason to listen and shows how to truly express ourselves through song.

Artist: Janet Jackson

Song: Doesn’t Really Matter

Album: Janet

I enjoy this song because of the message. It means that it doesn’t matter what anyone thinks, but you so just move on. The video was very futuristic and fun Janet looks great and the dancing is awesome.

Artist: Michael Jackson

Song: Thriller

Album: Thriller

The late, great, and beloved Michael Jackson never seems to disappoint with is music. The short film of thriller tells a story of the wild things that like to get down and dirty during the midnight hour.

An all time favorite group with an undeniable presence in the music world. With a classic sound and magical “feel good” rhythms TLC has managed to create another hit.

Artist: N*Sync

Song: Bye Bye Bye

Who could forget the phenomenal and creative group N*Sync? Their mind blowing singles climbed the charts rapidly and with much reason, the boys clearly had a statement to make with this original and entertaining video.

Artist: Backstreet Boys

Song: I Want It That Way

I Want It That Way a universal and soft toned anthem that was given to us by the one and only Backstreet Boys. This song brought tears to fans all around the world. The video shows the true sensitive and caring nature of the Backstreet Boys.
