Progress Pond

Midweek Cafe and Lounge, Vol. 58

Happy Hump Day!  I watched March For Our Lives Saturday and I was impressed with the pop stars who came out in support of the demonstration, providing their support through song.  So was Don Durito, who wondered what song to post in the comments to Midweek Cafe and Lounge, Vol. 57 at Booman Tribune.  I responded with “I’d try any of the songs performed by the singers at the rally in Washington, DC.  I would post ‘Be Alright’ by Ariana Grande, but I’m planning on using that for No. 58 this coming Wednesday.”  As promised, here is my favorite, Ariana Grande singing Be Alright.

This isn’t the first time she has performed this song at an event against violence.  She used as her entrance at One Love Manchester, a benefit concert for the We Love Manchester Emergency Fund in coordination with the Red Cross in response to the bombing of her previous concert in the U.K. city.

Following along with the image I used to illustrate this entry, I present Miley Cyrus singing The Climb.

Continuing along the image, the next singer is Demi Lovato performing Skyscraper.

Its time. Change is happening. Let’s go save our lives!

This was the first performance I saw and I was impressed.

I conclude with the other performance I mentioned in response to Don Durito.  “How about ‘The Times They are a Changin” by Bob Dylan?  Jennifer Hudson sang that today…I’ll have Jennifer Hudson’s rendition on Wednesday so long as it’s still up on YouTube, along with videos of the rest of the performers.”  Here it is, D.C. choir sings with Jennifer Hudson, ‘The Times They Are A Changin’ at March For Our Lives Rally.

Once again, I’m concluding the diary proper by quoting Don Durito.

For those of you wondering how I and Neon Vincent are circumventing Sucuri to embed videos, here is an example of the embed code we use, so that you can replicate as wanted:

Just remember that each unique 11-digit video code in YouTube needs to be pasted in two separate locations within the embed code in order for your video to show up properly. So easy that I can do it!

With those instructions, feel free to post your favorite music videos in the comments.
