9. My Favorite Music Videos
 
 

A German band.  They have hauntingly beautiful melodies and their lyrics are quite touching.

An incredibly beautiful song presented by Amy Lee's mesmerizingly gorgeous voice.

Such a sweet song, and I just love Dolores' voice.

I really like her music video on this song. Being relatively new to the music business, one of the comments she made was how excited she got one day while grocery shopping because they were playing this very song on the supermarket sound system, so she had a big smile on her face as she was pushing her cart through the vegetable section.

And then not too long ago I was at Taco Bell and they happened to be playing this song, and I also started (quietly and discreetly) jumping up and down while saying, "Oooh! Oooh! I know this song!" I started getting excited for her, too. :p She has such a great voice, I hope she does well. Best of luck to her. :)

e. KT Tunstall

One of the most incredible Scottish singers ever! Ever!!! -- okay so I only know two Scottish singers. :p But still, that minor detail notwithstanding, her amazing stage presence and knack for live performance coupled with the use of that little recording, sound-looping, box-thing that she keeps stepping on in the video on the left that allowed her to turn her performance into a one-woman band of sorts for that show was quite unique and was the song that initially got me hooked on to her. It certainly caught my attention the very first time I realized those background vocals weren't coming from backup singers but were actually her own voice repeating by itself through that gizmo. She reminds me of a young Chrissie Hynde, in a way.
 

f. Amy MacDonald

The other guitar-playing Scottish lass with an impressive voice. Her plaintive lyrics and husky sound with just a faint hint of that Scottish burr seems just like the type of tunes to play when nothing seems to be going right in the world and you just want to shut yourself in your dark room while waiting for things to get better.
 

From Germany. He's got a cute video with a bit of a sense of humor thrown in (reminds me of the times when I think I sound really good whenever I pretend I'm singing!), a soothing voice, and a nice beat to go along with it.
