https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiEuEFgz12p6aLuvfQCla8pWd6T13YB8gfeh80FGie1sstuz5E8RMSeU_gm5P4OZSglwV9dkSgHprbffTPqtZtYQIueryUzQP354UUBtzbqyHCAxa0RJfBrqF9N0do86MGSszkySl_k_p0/s1600/BlogIdol.png

Yay! The Heat Is on for our Quarter Finals which begins Today!
I'm not really sure if all of you guys are familiar with theme that we have for this week but this is really special to me since I grew up listening in such kind of music.
Motown played an important role in the racial integration of popular music, as it was the first record label owned by an African American to primarily feature African-American artists who achieved crossover success. In the 1960s, Motown and its soul-based subsidiaries were the most successful proponents of what came to be known as The Motown Sound, a style of soul music with a distinct pop influence.
Now let's hear the soulful entries from our finalists
*****************************************
1. Mona Abayle picked a classic signature hit from Stevie Wonders and was also one of his first singles. Here's a 1970 hit song,
"SIGNED, SEALED, DELIVERED, I"M YOURS"


*****************************************
2. Xan Gerna submitted an original Bobby McFerrin song which has a mixed touch of both reggae and soul. Here's an Award winning song,
"DON'T WORRY BE HAPPY"


*****************************************
3. Genny chose a classic Jackson 5 song and one of the most successful Motown singles during the so called "Detroit Era". It was later covered by Mariah Carey in the early 90's
"I'LL BE THERE"



*****************************************
4. Mai Yang picked another chart topper hit from the Jackson 5. It is also included in one of their first singles released by Motown along with ABC, The Love you Save and I'll be There. Here's
"I WANT YOU BACK"


*****************************************
5. Tom Sower submitted one of the most famous Duets of all time featuring two of Motown's biggest stars Diana Ross and Lionel Richie.
"ENDLESS LOVE"


*****************************************
6. April Tarongoy chose a signature chart topper song from one of the Motown Legends, The Temptation. Here's
"MY GIRL"
