《Let It Be》是一张名义上The Beatles合作的最后一张唱片,虽然它在1970年发行,不过实际上它主要的录制工作在1969年初就已经基本完成，而其后期的混音制作则是在1970年初由Phil Spector完成。由于乐队当时的矛盾激化，这张专辑不能看做是一张全心全意的唱片，而显得有点低于他们的最高水平，但是我们可以从唱片里听到很多有趣的东西。

本来这张唱片应该叫做《Get Back》，是因为Pual并不想乐队就此解散而做的最后努力，可是计划还是不幸的流产了，《Get Back》也就被《Let It Be》无情的代替了，连专辑的封面也变成了四个人背离式的分占四角。专辑的名字不仅预示了乐队的未来，也宣布了一个时代的突然崩溃，一种文化的悄悄消逝。

 

                            

 

音乐上来说,专辑里的《Across the Universe》，《Let It Be》，《The Long and Winding Road》都是难得的好作品,感性而又深富韵味，他们发挥了自己最高的水准，尤其是Pual的填词更是少见的佳作；而《I've Got a Feeling》和《Get Back》也是一向有好口碑，以上五首歌中就有三首是榜首歌曲，也充分说明这张专辑的可听性和收藏性，当然，在我眼里，Beatles每张专辑都是精华的作品。这些作品的所体现的文化与风格，足足影响了随后几十年的欧美音乐发展。时至今日，我们听了the Beatles的音乐，仍能感受到他的影响力。

 

Lyric de let it be

 

The top 12 of American Idol Season7 are all talented singers. They are properbly the strongest in American idol history. And the show of the top 12 was also brilliant. The boys and girls can pick songs from the "Lenon and McCarney" collection, whick is know as the front memebers of the Beatles.  I've watched their shows last night and are fancinated by 4 guys -- Chekieze, David, Brooke, Carly.

 

Chekieze's done a good performance for taking a risk to change the style of the song "She's a women". He began the song with a very coutry style and rock it afterwards. No one has expected that and Chekieze won big praises for breaking out the box and entertaining everyone.

 

I am a fan of David Cooks. David works in a bar and perform rock musics a lot. I gotta say his tone really rocks perfectly. He sang "Eleanor rigby", and he made everybody stand on their feet and dance, again!

 

Brooks was not that attracted to me until the top 12 show. She sangs "Let it be" on a beautiful paino. The "let it be" was the last published single song of The Beatles in 1970. Brooks's tone touched the hearts of audiances. She made everyone reads the meaning of the song, including me. I am so moved by her performance.

 

Carly, as always, did a good job. She sang ''Come together" and told everybody that she has the best vocal over the other contestants.  I think she will definitely make it through to the top 5. She "finally picked the right song" and made a best performance by far.

 

Some did well but some did not. Hot singers like Micheal, David Archulater didn't perform really well. D.A even forgot the lyrics during the show. But the Americans still love them and they can still stay in the game...

 

Who will be the next American Idol. Let's tune on..

Jamie Foxx主演的纪录片《Ray》绝对是我最最喜爱的电影。Jamie凭借他的演技，以及与Ray Charles惊人相似的外貌与音乐技能，勇夺2004年Oscar最佳男主角。对于一部纪录片，Jamie的精彩演绎固然值得赞叹，但更加让我感触的是美国音乐殿堂的灵魂之父 -- Ray Charles的传奇一生。

 

Ray的故事是美国最为典型的立志传奇，他将命运握于自己手中，从一个穷困、视力为零、生活在南部的黑人小男孩成长为美国的传奇人物，他打碎了社会与艺术之间的屏障与弊病，直至改写左美国音乐的传统与历史。

 

Ray自七岁起就双目失明，所以他的生命要比普通人更艰难，他也更有放弃的理由。但是，他却创造了一个与艺术息息相关的生活，作为一个普通的男人，他将与众不同的喜怒哀乐、亲情爱情、个人的挣扎、痛苦以及人性的阴暗面有效地结合到各种不同的音乐风格中，包括爵士乐、节奏蓝调(R&B)、摇滚乐、福音音乐(Gospel)和乡村西部音乐(Country Music)，所以他的故事读起来先会甘与众不同。

 

导演Tayler在编写剧本果阵，着重将Ray Charles在音乐界的一系列值得记忆的大事件和卓越成就转变成鼓舞人心的灵魂之旅，阐述左Ray不单单是一个拥有独特想像力的音乐天才，他还教会世人以一种全新的观念去融汇庞杂的音乐体系。

 

本来想系mp3.bai**.com稳下Ray Charles的音乐连接，可惜search不到。。。 -_-b
