You'll Be In My Heart - Celtic Woman
This song is originally by Phil Collins for Disney's Tarzan however this lullaby style version by the group Celtic Woman is so amazingly pure and heart warming I can't help but prefer it to the original.
The members of Celtic Woman all have beautiful voices and they make this song their own, all the while keeping aspects of the original that are recognisable to us. Gone is the upbeat guitar and other accompaniments, instead the first verse and chorus have almost no music in them, giving focus to the main singer. Then the drums start in that recognisable beat and things pick up from there.
Celtic Woman have a lot of songs out there, all done with amazing vocals and music. Go check them out even if it's not your usual style of music. The songs are very catchy.

Let It Go - Frozen - Idina Menzel
So. Unless you've been hiding......well I don't think there's anywhere you could have escaped the Frozen fever that gripped the world and still holds a tight grip on us.
Let It Go - Idina Menzel (Frozen)
The original version is stunning and I think just about everyone knows the lyrics - I know my whole family does, even my Nan that hasn't even seen the film (I know - my son is horrified by that fact too).
Idina (and the writers) have given us a song that's joined a long list of unforgettable Disney anthems. However I know I'm not alone in trawling YouTube for the numerous covers that have been done. There are dozens of them, with millions of hits on most of them - and I'm totally addicted to them.
This sort of classifies of a Song On Repeat even if it's by different artists.
You'll most likely have your own favourite cover(s) but I'm going to list a few of mine in no particular order. Please go check out these amazing singers if you haven't already heard their renditions.
Jannina put a slight spin on the song and really makes it her own. She has other vids on YouTube that are well worth watching as well.
Caleb Hyles - oh my god. How this man is not on Broadway I'll never know. He has a powerful voice and is an amazing singer. Caleb's version is exactly what you would expect if Elsa had been a guy. He has other Disney song covers on his channel and some other amazing songs as well.
I'm gushing about him a bit but I don't care. Seriously. Check him out already.
Alex Boye gives an Africanised version featuring the One Voice Children's Choir and with Lexi Walker doing main vocals. Lexi has a strong and beautiful voice and she fits perfectly with the choral backing. The video is nice to watch as well - Alex really puts a lot into his vids.
There are others that I also love but these three are my top ones. Check them out and see if you love them just as much.

Never Close Our Eyes - Adam Lambert
Never Close Our Eyes - Adam Lambert
It's all over Now Music channel, currently being played as part of their Most Tweeted 20 playlist. I live under a rock most of the time, I stumbled across Adam after finding Runnin', but I loved that and when Never Close Our Eyes started playing I loved that as well.
Technically this isn't a Song On Repeat (yet) but I have rewound Sky a few times to listen to it again. It's a very catchy tune with a good beat in the background. I don't go to clubs but I reckon it would be very good for the dance floor.
The chorus is very catchy and after only a couple of times hearing it I was humming along to it.
Adam is apparently going to be the 'Most Eligible Bachelor' and he's certainly as good looking as ever in the video.
Check it out, for the song not just the guy, and see it you end up bopping along to it.

Nightingale - Demi Lovato
Okay - so first Song On Repeat.
Nightingale - Demi Lovato.
I must have listened to this song a few dozen times in a few hours. This song has a sort of hopeful tone to it. It has quieter parts and parts where Demi shows off her powerful voice. The lyrics talk about being lost and wanting to be found.
Check it out and see if you love it or hate it. Or if you even put it on repeat.
