My Top 5 Favorite Singers

Here is a list of my top 5 Favorite Singers. I'll be counting down. This is all MY OPINION!! Everyone looks at these men differently. I personally love all of them, or they would have never made it on to my list.

And I'm sorry that it's so late, but life is a thing.

5. Leslie Odom Jr.
I did a blog about why I find Leslie so amazing, yesterday. The man is amazing and when he sings. it's just amazing. He's one of my favorite singers because his voice is very soothing.

The song I chose is not my favorite song from Hamilton, which Leslie sings, but it's the first solo song that he sings as Aaron Burr. The song is "Wait for It" and although it's not my favorite, ("Dear Theodosia" is) I still think it is a beautiful song and he sings it wonderfully.

I have fallen asleep to his voice on several occasions. It relaxes me. After a long day of writing, crying an fangirling, sometimes you just need to unwind and listen to Leslie Odom Jr,'s beautiful voice. If you want to read more about why I love Leslie check out the post here! Or just scroll down.

4. Hadley Fraser
I wrote two blogs about Hadley last year. One where I talked about him, Sierra Boggess, and Ramin Karimloo. You can find that one here! And I wrote another one just about him and about how much I love him. You can find that one here!

Choosing a song to put here was hard, because I had to figure out which one from Hadley that I REALLY loved because I love them all. I couldn't find a good quality video of "But For Me" which is always the first song stuck in my head when I think of Hadley, SO I got the next best song, "Again", which is one of my favorite songs, but I don't think it illustrates Hadley's ability, like "But For Me" does. But it's still a beautiful song, written by Scott Alan

I haven't listened to Hadley in a while. I think I'll fall asleep to him tonight.

3. Ramin Karimloo
So far I've only written one blog regarding Ramin. That blog is here! That blog was about three people, not just Ramin, but I will be writing a blog post about Ramin and Ramin alone very soon, because he is still one of my favorite people. I have been a fan of his since 2012. I have loved this man for the past four years.

Choosing the song for him was hard, because honestly, he is amazing in everything he sings, which is why I love him so much. I chose "Why am I Falling?" because I just love the song so much.

Although he didn't make it as number one on my list, I think that I have fallen asleep to his voice, much more than anyone else on this list.

2. Chris Jackson
I will be writing a blog about Chris very soon. He is amazing, His voice is just so beautiful. I have a playlist on my phone of his songs from Hamilton and In the Heights, so he can sing me to sleep.

I have chosen "History Has It's Eyes on You" from Hamilton, because it's a song I admire very much.

But his voice is just beautiful. I wouldn't say it's soothing, but I really love listening to his voice. I don't know why. I'm saving all my love for his voice for the actual blog post about him that I am currently writing. I'm getting all my feelings out.

1. Brendon Urie
First of all, let me tell you why Brendon is number one. I still remember the first time I heard "I Write Sins Not Tragedies" on the radio. I remember the first time I saw "The Ballad of Mona Lisa" music video on TV.

Brendon Urie has been a huge part of my life for a long time and I will most likely be writing a blog post about him.

He is the lead singer of Panic! at the Disco. And I have listened to Panic! at the Disco at every funeral I've gone to, and I've been to more than I care to remember.

But Brendon's voice takes me away from my problems. Panic! at the Disco is my favorite band. And I think his voice has a huge part in that.

I have chosen "She Had the World (Alternate Version)" from Panic! at the Disco, because this is one of my favorite songs of all time. It's calming and his voice in the song is flawless.

Brendon Urie is truly amazing.

THERE IS MY TOP 5 FAVORITE SINGES!

Tell me who you're top five favorite singers are.

Each one of these singers, I have fallen asleep to on several occasions. They are all amazing and I will forever shamelessly advertise their music and whatever projects they are doing!

Dallon James Weekes

He is so goddamn beautiful.
I should not obsess over Dallon because I have a rule about my obsessions. They cannot be married. Dallon is married to Breezy (which I ship wholeheartedly) but he's so pretty and he sings. And plays music and is adorable and I can't deal!

His children are adorable. His son, Knox, looks just like him.

I promise not to make this a long post.
But then again, I could probably write pages about this man.
We'll see what happens.

Dallon James Weekes.

Okay, so I've been a Panic at the Disco fan since 2012(ish) maybe before. But I was definitely a fan at my great uncle's funeral, when I was a freshman in high school. Because at every funeral I have gone to (which is unfortunately a lot) I always listen to Panic!. They have managed to take me away from my "problems". That is why I think it's safe to say that they are my favorite band. I never have to be in the mood to listen to them. If I'm ever in the mood to listen to music, and I don't know what to listen to, I just put Panic at the Disco on.

But anyway. Back on topic!

I remember being a fan when the band was just Spencer Smith and Brendon Urie. HOWEVER, apparently, Dallon was part of the band when I first became a fan. Whether he was a FULL TIME member or not, I couldn't tell you.

But I "discovered" him for myself three or four years ago. I was on Instagram (when am I ever not on Instagram) and someone posted a picture of him and Amelie, his daughter, and the caption was something like imagine Dallon picking his daughter up from kindergarten. And from that day forward I was curious to learn more about him.

I didn't learn much besides that he was a member of Panic at the Disco, but at least I was now aware of him.

As time progressed, I realized that the man is very attractive, but I left it at that, because I didn't know much about him.

Fast forward to New Years Eve, 2013. Welcoming 2014. I was watching a plethora of New Years celebrations on TV. Dick Clark's Rockin' New Years as always, but I was also watching something in Vegas, hosted by Mario Lopez and Panic! performed. Spencer wasn't playing drums, which really caught me off guard. At the time, I didn't know that he was in rehab (and that he would never return to the band). I think Dallon might have been performing with the band that night, but I don't remember.

Now fast forward to mid 2015. I became more aware of Dallon. Even though he's not a "real" member of Panic! now, I noticed him more in the videos.

Fast forward one more time to early 2016. I added him and his wife, Breezy on Snapchat and have unintentionally been falling more and more in love with him. Again, I respect Breezy and I respect their marriage and relationship, but I really do appreciate him being an attractive and amazing human being.

During my Spring Break, I discovered "Mean Ol Moon", a song that Dallon covered on his album TWOMINCVRS. And I became obsessed with the album and bought it. I have been listening to all three songs non-stop. Yes. There are only three songs on the album.
Album cover for TWOMINCVRS
A few days ago I discovered that Dallon (with the Brobecks and Brendon Urie) covered "Skid Row (Downtown)" from the musical, Little Shop of Horrors. The download is free and you can find it here.

I will forever shamelessly advertise Dallon, as long as he keeps making amazing music/covers.

Coincidentally, Little Shop, is one of my best friends' favorite musicals. We really want Dallon and Brendon to do a cover of "Suddenly Seymour" and I'll probably end this post with a letter to them asking to do "Suddenly Seymour". And I'll probably do a petition to get it done.

Also, if you have never watched the Little Shop of Horrors film with Rick Moranis, I HIGHLY recommend it.

So that is how I fell in love with Dallon Weekes.

Dear Dallon Weekes and Brendon Urie

My friend and I have heard your cover of "Skid Row (Downtown)" from Little Shop of Horrors and we really love it. We were wondering if you guys would be interested in doing "Suddenly Seymour". We tweeted you both, but since you have an immensely large following on Twitter, you probably did not see it. We suggest that Dallon sing Seymour's part and Brendon sings Audrey. But of course, if you do decide to do it, it is all completely your choice of arrangement. We really hope you do decide to cover the song.

Thank you for your time,
McCartha Montieth

Let's all pray that they see this.

PRAY FOR ME
PRAY FOR US
PRAY FOR THEM TO COVER "SUDDENLY SEYMOUR"
