I saw Lena perform "If You Believe" at her show "Lena Live on Broadway" in the 80's. She was awesome!

Stop reading my diary!
It's crazy the things we have in common!
Believe in Yourself by Lena Horne and Kind and Generous by Natalie Merchant are to of my pick me up songs!
I love me some Shirley Bassey, so i need to be introduced to that song. Thanks.
My favorite Over the Rainbow's are the acoustic versions, some American Idol versions, and the one from the movie Finding Forrester.

My other inspirational songs are Fly Away by Lenny Kravitz, and both Perfect Day and Ordinary World as sung by Duran Duran.

I agree 100% on Lena's Believe in Yourself and Natalies' Kind & Generous! I've had those on heavy rotation over the years.
My favorite Somewhere Over the Rainbow is from the movie Finding Forrester... the soundtrack has kinda of an African version that's real acoustic.

My other Inspirational songs are Perfect World by Duran Duran, Ordinary World by Duran Duran, and Fly Away by Lenny Kravitz.
