So, I woke up late this morning and after watching the first broadcast of GMFB, I felt that I was missing something so I continued watching the replay. I saw a new segment today that I hadn’t seen before. “Trend of the World.” Kyle began singing a line from the REM song but I didn’t know if I wanted to put that one on my blog.
As I was debating that in my head, Kyle began saying the lines from Conga by Gloria Estefan. Gloria Estefan was my aunt Rita’s favorite singer! Whenever I hear anything by her, I always think of my aunt Rita now with fondness! I think the segment may have changed to the three words to describe the upcoming game. I think Kyle chose ”Miami Sound Machine“ which is her band.
***GMFB just tweeted this:
As Kyle was talking, they showed a picture of Gloria Estefan singing at a concert and I couldn’t stop thinking about my aunt Rita! This isn’t the picture they showed on GMFB but it looked similar:
I was able to get out of my thoughts enough to hear Nate talk about Patrick Mahomes’ touchdown from the game against the Titans last weekend and he chose this song to describe it:
I really dug his choice of songs because in the wee hours of the morning, when I can’t seem to fall asleep, I watch my YouTube feed. Specifically, I watch the blind auditions on The Voice. I don’t watch the show on TV but rather just watch the videos that show up in my YouTube feed. I remember seeing a girl sing that song and Boy George didn’t realize it was his song for a little while because she sang it so differently. I think I watched that in a longer 17 minute video but I searched that particular audition today and I found it:
So I’ve been thanking about this particular audition and my aunt Rita all day long!
