The girls

Girls are awesome, no doubt...yeah they can be crazy and a little frightening at times, but if us chaps do the right thing we're generally safe from their wrath, or so I have found it to be. There's a lot to like about women and I know a few who stand out and whom I value greatly. With that in mind, I thought I'd share three tracks from girls who I find very talented and songs that are quite moving. I know, you might not like all of them, or any at all, but that doesn't negate the fact they're great tracks in my opinion. So here goes.

I've got a crush on this girl - country artist, Faith Hill. There's nothing she's done musically that I've not liked including this sad but good track about life, loss and longing. It's a beautiful song, sung beautifully: My wild frontier

---

I've got a crush on this girl to - Christina Perri. Nah, just kidding...or am I? She has an amazing voice, sort of edgy and raw but beautiful at the same time and she puts it to great use in this track about empowerment and moving forward with confidence: Jar of hearts

_{Note, I have used the live version of this track, there is an official video also, you can find it here. It's very nice.}

I've got a crush on this girl - Christina Aguilara. I know right? It's true though. I remember when she firat hit the scene and I like the way she's recreated herself over the years, changed as she's aged...and that voice cannot be denied. This is another powerful track about loss, this time of a father: Hurt

Here's a link to a YouTube playlist with all three (four) tracks contained in it: YouTube Playlist

I don't respect women any more than men, I respect everyone who deserves that respect and have earned it. That's just how I am. Having said that...well, I like women more than men. They're very complicated, no doubt, sometimes insufferable and downright scary, but they are special and a much required part of my life.

Sharing these tracks today made me think about how difficult it can be for women to make their way in the world, how many have been taken advantage of and how many have risen through adversity to achieve great things, just like the three above and millions of other everyday women. Maybe even you.

Is there a female artist you have a crush on? Is there one you'd like to share, a particular track by a legit female artist? Do you have any comments about the three tracks I've linked or anything in general...maybe about a woman who inspires you or if you're a woman, you may like to share an empowering story about yourself? The time is now...get it done below in the comments thread should you wish to. I'll respond.
