Why did Annie Lennox sing at the closing ceremony? Because Annie Lennox is one of the best  female singers that have ever graced this earth.  She has sold over 80 million record.  Don’t know Annie Lennox work well you should.  She was part of the duo of the Eurythmics. Lennox has been named “The Greatest White Soul Singer Alive by VH1 and on the greatest singer 100 of all times by Rolling Stones.  But why is she total awesome because she never sold out. She has made 4 albums why because she only every wanted to put out music she truly loved. Annie offered her fans only the best of best.  Money was never the driving force behind her music.

I adore Annie Lennox for so many reasons for me in college it was Annie Lennoxs Album Diva that got me through the many sleepless nights of endless sewing projects.  She has always spoke to me the soul in her voice is that of true grace.   The Medusa Album was released it as equaly as amazing earthy and soulful.   Bare her next album is a collection of great songs.

If you don’t understand lets put it this way Annie did her 1st studio album in 9 years.  It was a collection of amazing called “Songs of Mass Destruction“.  I love the album and find it really speaks to me for where I was in life.  The Song  “Sing“, is a collaboration between Lennox and 23 talented female artists: Anastacia, Isobel Campbell, Dido, Céline Dion, Melissa Etheridge, Fergie, Beth Gibbons, Faith Hill, Angelique Kidjo, Beverley Knight, Gladys Knight, k.d. lang, Madonna, Sarah McLachlan, Beth Orton, Pink, Kelis, Bonnie Raitt, Shakira, Shingai Shoniwa, Joss Stone, Sugababes, KT Tunstall, and Martha Wainwright. The song was recorded to raise money and awareness for the HIV/AIDS organization.  The artist respect her so much so much they all showed up to help spread the word.
