A few years ago, I saw a movie that instantly became my favorite. A movie that featured one of the most recognizable and powerful voices in American music. As soon as the movie ended, I learned two of the songs from the soundtrack and added them to my repertoire.
Hace unos años, vi una película que se convirtió al instante en mi favorita. Una película que presentaba una de las voces más reconocibles y poderosas de la música estadounidense. En cuanto terminó, me aprendí dos canciones de la banda sonora y las incorporé a mi repertorio.
The movie is called Burlesque, and its protagonist is Christina Aguilera, a singer I love, and many of her songs have shaped different stages of my career and that of many artists who have used her music to promote themselves through covers.

The film tells the story of Ali (Christina Aguilera), a small-town girl with a big voice, who longed to find a place where she could fulfill her dreams and achieve her goals. Leaving her past behind, Ali decides to move to the city of dreams, Los Angeles, where she happens to stumble upon the Burlesque club, a majestic, struggling theater that houses an inspired musical revue. This story is similar to that of many artists who leave their families and lives behind to move to a big city with more connections and opportunities to make their musical dreams come true. This story is also very similar to my own, because at 21, I left my family behind and moved to the Cuban capital in search of more opportunities that would help me achieve my goal.
La película cuenta la historia de Ali (Christina Aguilera), una chica de pueblo con una gran voz, que anhelaba encontrar un lugar donde pudiera cumplir sus sueños y alcanzar sus metas. Dejando atrás su pasado, Ali decide mudarse a la ciudad de los sueños, Los Ángeles, donde por casualidad se topa con el club Burlesque, un majestuoso teatro en apuros que alberga una inspiradora revista musical. Esta historia es similar a la de muchos artistas que dejan atrás a sus familias y vidas para mudarse a una gran ciudad con más contactos y oportunidades para hacer realidad sus sueños musicales. Esta historia también es muy similar a la mía, porque a los 21 años dejé atrás a mi familia y me mudé a la capital cubana en busca de más oportunidades que me ayudaran a alcanzar mi meta.

LYRIC
Oh oh, sometimes I get a good feeling, yeah
I get a feeling that I've never, never, never, never had before, no no
And I just gotta tell you right now that I
I believe, I really do believe that
Something's got a hold on me, yeah (oh, it must be love)
Oohoh, something's got a hold on me right now, child (oh, it must be love)
Let me tell you now
I got a feeling, I feel so strange
Everything about me seems to have changed
Step by step, I got a brand new walk
I even sound sweeter when I talk
I said, oh, oh, oh, oh
I said baby
Oh, it must be love (you know it must be love)
Let me tell you know
Something's got a hold on me, yeah (oh, it must be love)
Oohoh, something's got a hold on me right now, child (oh, it must be love)
Let me tell you now
I never felt like this before
Something's got a hold on me that won't let go
Believe, I'd die, if I only could
I sure feel strange, but it sure feels good
I said, oh, oh, oh, oh
I said baby
Oh, it must be love (you know it must be love)
Let me tell you know
My heart feels heavy, my feet feel light
I shake all over, but I feel alright
I never felt like this before
Something's got a hold on me that won't let go
I never thought it could happen to me
Got me happy when I'm in misery
I never thought it could be this way
Love's sure gonna put a hurting on me
I said, oh, oh, oh, oh
I said baby
Oh, it must be love (you know it must be love)
Yeah, he walks like love (you know he walks like love)
He talks like love (you know he talks like love)
Makes me feel alright (makes me feel alright)
In the middle of the night (in the middle of the night)
Na na la la (na na la la)
Na na la la (na na la la)
Ooh yeah yeah (oh oh oh)
Yeah ooh yeah oh (oh oh oh)
Hey, yeah yeah yeah, ah
