Bellamy Posted October 3, 2006 at 07:48 AM Posted October 3, 2006 at 07:48 AM Pop music gaining popularity at funerals LONDON, Oct. 2 (UPI) -- British funerals have recently featured pop music, with songs by Robbie Williams, Celine Dion and Elton John becoming popular funeral tunes. The top song for use at funerals in Britain is Bette Midler's "Wind Beneath My Wings," Britain's Sky News reported Monday. Celine Dion's "My Heart Will Go On" from "Titanic" is the second most played funeral song, while Whitney Houston's "I Will Always Love You," is third on the list compiled by the Co-op, which is made up of 560 funeral directors. The Co-op said 68 percent of its funeral homes reported an increase in the number of pop songs being requested at funeral services. "We are receiving more and more requests for popular music as people attempt to personalize funerals," said spokeswoman Lorinda Sheasby. There some unusual requests, including Queen's "Another One Bites The Dust" and "YMCA" by the Village People. "What may seem wacky to one person can make perfect sense to another," Sheasby said.Source: http://www.upi.com/NewsTrack/view.php?Stor...02-124358-9983r Quote Please support the forum by ordering everything through our special Amazon.com link Click here.

Lately I'm addicted to her performance of the song at the World Children's Day..possibly my fav! <{POST_SNAPBACK}> this performance is the only good one she gave with this song since she came back and there too just like in all of the other performances with this song since 2001 - she just cant hit that last note Quote
firebird Posted October 3, 2006 at 12:31 PM Posted October 3, 2006 at 12:31 PM this performance is the only good one she gave with this song since she came back <{POST_SNAPBACK}>I think the Larry King performance for September 11 was also good. It's a very beautiful song, though I wouldn't want it at my funeral. Quote

AllCeline Posted October 3, 2006 at 01:36 PM Posted October 3, 2006 at 01:36 PM I'm not surprisded... MHWGO is one of Celine's most beautiful songs, and I think everyone relates the song to loosing someone because of the purity of the song. Even Celine said that she realized the song meant a lot to her, even more after the passing of her dad. I don't know how anyone can't love this song...

It's a very beautiful song, though I wouldn't want it at my funeral.<{POST_SNAPBACK}> it was a very emotional performance but she just could hit a note right there - for me it's her worst performance vocaly of this song , second only to her performance on oprah (remmember? OMG - it was in 2002 , she just came back and sang BYLM and MHWGO and i remmember thinking - OMFG where is THEVOICE?!?!? ) . now her voice sounds much better however Edited October 3, 2006 at 02:43 PM by thevoice Quote
