(my idol)

You know you have one too and is probably longer than what I have. Mine is tucked away in my desk drawer at home hidden from any prying eyes. It’s nothing nasty, if that’s what your thinking,  it’s just a little corny thats all. I’ve just recently began to compile it so it may be a little incomplete. It may come off sounding a little feminine and sappy but I am referring to a list of songs for a wedding mix!

This list is for a “just in case” scenario. No current plans whatsoever. I complied this list on the basis and guidelines that a cd will hold about 19 songs, has to be comtemporary i.e. >1990 and does not include any rap.  

Please refrain from laughing at me.

Here is what I have so far:

1. K-Ci & JoJo, All My life (classic, must have)

2. Chris Brown, Forever

3. Israel Kamakawiwo Ole’, Somewhere Over the Rainbow

4. Jason Mraz, I’m Yours

5. Keyshia Cole, Love

6. All 4 One, So Much in Love

7. James Blunt, You’re Beautiful

8. Brian McKnight, Back at One

9. Baby Face, Everytime I Close my Eyes

10. Enrique Iglesias, Be With You

11. Ne-yo, Sexy Love

12. Milestone, I Care About U

13. Keith Martin, Never Find Someone Like You

14. Alicia Keys, If I Ain’t Got You

15. Alicia Keys, No One

16. Destiny’s Child, Brown Eyes

17. Mario, How Do I Breathe

18. Jagged Edge, I Gotta Be

19. John Legend, Each Day Gets Better

*Bonus Tracks.* Jon B, Someone to Love

                              Faith Hill, Breathe

Agree? Disagree? Additions? Subtractions? Let me know.

    james blunt- your beautiful should be subtracted. its about a man loving a girl from afar no?

    and haha, i def did chuckle knowing you had a wedding mix of ur own. =)

  2. Chris Brown - Forever can be easily be replaced by a number of better R&B songs out there.

  3. Alvin

    yeah.. real talk.. forever dont fit at alll.. i think u gotta re-do ur list heing..

  4. Pham

    Heing, I definitely agree with Teresa… I mean what if you fall in love with a man?

  5. whoa, Forever is hot… it works for me. Maybe James blunt is questionable, but I love the song….

    I already know my list is incomplete and flawed, that’s why i opted to make this post asking for suggestions.

  6. Dan

    I have a nice sleep mix. Hit me up for details. (100+ songs)

  7. Dan

    Crap did i say that out loud?

  8. screech

    take out 7. James Blunt, You’re Beautiful

  9. screech

    I know you just left out Keith Sweat on purpose…

    Keith Sweat - My body

    and can I get some Jon B.??

    R. Kelly - You remind me…

    and I know you got some N*sync and BSB on this list…don’t lie.

  10. Isn’t it keith Sweat-Nobody?

    You are right, Jon B’s song Someone to Love should definitely be on there, it will be my bonus track.

    Rkelly, is too dirty for a wedding mix. and NSYNC/BSB is too POPish

  11. Tiffany

    i have one for my future hubby!! i listen to it almost every night:)

  12. screech

    “Wind beneath my wings” classic wedding mix

    Also if you want wedding how about some Kenny Chesney or Garth Brooks, or Reba…

  13. Gary

    OMG I’m not reading this! You have a wedding mix? It’s on paper?!!! You freakin’ fgt. The thought of a wedding mix never even crossed my mind and then actually making the mix… wow. Just wow. LMAO.

    For the fact that you not only came up with the idea to make a mix, actually doing the making of the mix, and then writing an entry on it, I totally agree with what Pham said. (the 2nd part)

  14. Besides the ones already mentioned, here’s some no particular order..

    - Avant ft. Tami - My First Love
    - Craig David - Unbelievable
    - David Ryan Harris - For You
    - Five Times August - Love the Way
    - Javier - If I Never get to Heaven
    - John Legend - If this World were Mine
    - Jon B - Pretty Girl
    - Musiq - Don’t Change
    - Robin Thicke - Against the World
    - R Kelly - Bump and Grind
    - This Providence - My Beautiful Rescue

    A wedding mix? I honestly don’t have one, haha. Mainly b/c I don’t like to think about those things yet :P

    BUT a good addition is Mariah Carey’s “Thank God I found You”

    Very much a wedding song.

  16. smeeg's ring

    Classic…

    Celine Deion “Power of Love”

    Dont deny it

  17. Veronica

    What? nobody has yet mentioned “I do (Cherish You) 98 degrees. Not that I would have it on my list of songs (too cliche for me) but still a perfect wedding song.

  18. Veronica

    But J. Holiday “Bed” would definitely make it on my list….

    ….no proposals please

  19. how about shania twain “from this moment”? hehhee or no one else comes close by joe

  20. oh and i like I do by 98 degrees too!! hahaaa

  21. i just like it that heing always gets the most comments b/c he has the best posts. heh. so here’s another.

  22. screech
