For Good (from “Wicked”)
Today we feature “For Good” from Wicked (2003); this version is from the Out of Oz series; the modulation (around 3:10) is definitely a high point. Also featuring Bryan Perri on the keys.
Judy Garland | As Long As He Needs Me
Today we feature the incomparable Judy Garland singing “As Long As He Needs Me” (1964). Not many can match her in terms of raw emotional power, and she certainly delivers here. Key change around 3:15.
They Just Keep Moving the Line (from “Smash”)
Today, we feature Megan Hilty singing “They Just Keep Moving the Line” from the TV show Smash (2012). While the show itself turned into a bit of a soap opera, some really incredible songs came out of it, and this is one of the best. Modulation at 2:06, but the whole performance is fantastic. Enjoy!
Abba | Money, Money, Money
1976’s “Money, Money, Money” was Abba’s followup to its smash hit “Dancing Queen.” The original title for the tune was ‘Been and Gone and Done It,” which might have affected its huge popularity! The key change hits around 2:25.
Bad Lip Reading | Christmas is Here
We try to generally keep MotD a politics-free zone, but this is just too good not to share. You have to watch the whole video, but pay particular attention around 1:30 for a modulation by baby wail!
Reba McEntire + Kelly Clarkson | Does He Love You
Today we feature Reba McEntire and Kelly Clarkson singing “Does He Love You” (2002) with a modulation around 4:49. The track won a Grammy for Best Country Vocal Collaboration back in 1994. This audience knows what’s going down, since they applaud right when the key change happens!
Dolly Parton | Hard Candy Christmas
Merry Christmas Eve! As a little weekend bonus video, here is Dolly Parton with “Hard Candy Christmas” (2001). This whole video is worth watching, but the key change is around 2:40. Best wishes to all for a wonderful evening.
Fantasia | What Christmas Means to Me
Hope everyone had a great Friday. We close this week with “What Christmas Means To Me” (2013) sung by Fantasia (modulation around 1:30). Have a great weekend and Merry Christmas!

Happy Thursday! Another double feature coming at you today. First, we reach back into the archives and bring back Carrie Underwood with 2007’s “Do You Hear What I Hear,” (modulation around 2:27).
