OSF: When I Was in 10th Grade

This week's theme is "When I was in the 10th Grade". Let's see, what do I CARE to share about my 10th grade years....I guess to truly depict those days of mine, I'd have to reveal a few of my sides.

The first being: The Romantic. I absolutely loved, loved this song. Everytime it came on the radio (or Video Soul *smile*), the room had to go silent so that the proper amount of respect was shown and I could soak it all in. Truth be told? I still love this jam...



Next, my 10th grade year brought about a lot of classroom distraction. Believe it or not, it wasn't the boys doing the distracting (yet). My love for music did the trick. My friends and I would sit in the back of the classroom trying to sing and harmonize songs by none other than En Vogue. Yes, we attempted the breakdown...who didn't?

En Vogue - New Music - More Music Videos

Then of course, one of the best ways to sum up my 10th grade year would be with the dancing. If there was a dance (didn't matter which school was hosting it), we were there. Of course, we'd get our little moves together beforehand. Those were the days when one need some room on the dance floor. Here's a little "Too Legit To Quit". I know, pretty shameful now...but back in the day....that was the jam that flooded the floor.




I think I'd just better leave it at that...lol...Have a blessed OSF! Until next time...

OSF: Songs by New Edition or members of New Edition

It's Old School Friday and I'm back....I hope *smile* What a way to come back!!! The selection this week is *drum roll* "songs by New Edition or members of New Edition". How does one choose??? Well, after laughing, dancing and singing along to my favorite New Edition jams, I settled upon three.

I'm going to start you all off with the song that first made me fall in love with this boy group:



Ok, I know...lol...this isn't very romantic. Hey, I was a baby then. But when they made that train with their arms, it.was.OVER!!!

Now, I loved this next jam by Mr. Ralph Tresvant. The memories on this one. . .hahaha....those were the days when the boys used dedications to "express" themselves. You know? Before we became "shawties". . .



And last but not least, I have to wrap it up with ABC. These little boys put it down!! I can still jam to this. I'm sure my kids probably wish I wouldn't; but they don't know anything about this...



Until next time folks....enjoy your week and be blessed!!!

Old School Friday: Male Crooners

OK! I'm slowing creeping myself back into the existence of my blog. It's been awhile and yes, I've missed a couple of OSF :( But, here I am with this week's theme of Male crooners! Below I am posting a few of my favorites :) Enjoy!!

I'm sorry, but I'm feeling that...bare with me...I need a minute...



And that one is for those looking for ways to avoid the need to sing the first selection. *smile* I'm just saying. . .

One more...I'll bring it to more recent old school years. But, how could I NOT include this one. . .



Yeah, I know...need a minute? Let's just reconvene next OSF. . .

Be blessed!

Old School Friday: Motown

Oh man! I'm so late with this one! Sorry people. I have been so busy that I let time slip past me. I'm sure some have noticed a little inactivity here. Let me assure you, I'm not going anywhere. Life is just requiring me to step away for a minute. So, my posts may appear to be few and far between. But, as things clear up, my frequency in posts will increase. HOWEVER, I simply can NOT stay away from OSF! So, count on THAT!

SO, with that said: Motown it is:

Up first we have. . .



OH.YES.I.DID!!



I know, I know...I didn't give you ANY warning with that. Sorry 'bout that :)

Ok! One more (because I have to let the ladies represent):



See you next OSF!! Take care!!!

Old School Friday - Make Up Songs

It looks like this week's OSF theme is "Make Up Songs" and I must say, I am glad about it. I've yet to find a new school love/make up song that can top the quality and content of the old school (I am accepting any and ALL challenges on that - just bring it). I'm going to warm you up with one that I absolutely LOVED listening to as a child:

I don't know if ya'll are going to be ready for this next one. I may need to think about this for a moment. . .

Ok, I'll do it; BUT, you're going to need to sit down for this one *smile*



Here's a little bonus for those that can hang:



And with that, I'm just gonna walk away. . .

Old School Friday: Break Up Songs

It just doesn’t get anymore real than this.



Hahaha! Ya’ll don’t know nothin’ about that. Now, I know that one is hard to top. But, I'm certain that Patti and Michael McDonald are up for the challenge:



Enjoy! See you next Friday

Old School Friday - Old School Hip Hop

I saw way too many sisters having fun with Old School Friday and HAD to rush to get in on it. I LOVE music (especially old school) so count me in. Now, bare with me. I have no idea how this thing works. I know most post theirs early; but I couldn't let this week's catagory, Old School Hip Hop, pass me by. So, here are my late submissions.

I'm kickin' this thing off with a little "Ladies First". Don't act like you don't remember this :)

Ok, I originally had Yo-Yo up next, but I noticed that someone else had it up and going. Since I'm late to the game, I'm making a quick change . . .



And with that, we'll see you next Friday. . .
