† Marlene Dietrich (27 December 1901 – 6 May 1992, Berlin, Germany) was a German-born American actress and singer.Although she still made occasional films in the post-war years, Dietrich spent most of the 1950s to the 1970s touring the world as a successful show performer.

List of tracks I included as part of my Valentine's Mixed Tape! ^ ^ I tried to avoid most of the obvious songs. Please comment! :D (Also, I pretty much own all of the original albums, so don't even get me started on the whole 'mixed tapes are bad for artists'-thing! ^ ^)

2. Say It Again (Marié Digby)
3. Each Other by Katharine McPhee ("No more reasons to be unhappy, you threw them all up in there air - And I don't know how you did it, but you made me a believer - I never thought that love could turn someone into a dreamer..")
4. Like Lovers Do by Heather Nova ("Like lovers do, I wanna feel that way - Yeah, like lovers do - They loose themselves for days..")
5. I'll Be (Edwin McCain)
6. Beautiful Eyes (Taylor Swift)
7. Colourblind (Darius)
8. Inside Your Heaven by Carrie Underwood ("Naturally, my soul surrenders - The sun and the moonlight - All my dreams are in your eyes..")

first, i make a list of my top-25 artists overall. then, for each of these artists, add the 7 most similar artists to your list. Delete any duplicates, count up the number of entries on my list and this gives me some idea of how ecclectic my listening habits are. A score of 25 represents an extremely unvaried musical taste while a 200 represents an extremely varied one. 90-110 would be average...
(if there are duplicates due to different typing or spelling variations, i choose the next similar artist on the list)

I’ve finally done it. Made a post about my favourite voices/singers. I listed them based on my feelings of the moment, but I honestly don't think much would change in general. I tend to be the loyal type and listen to the same people most of my life... with a few exceptions, I guess
