My favorite that has a good tempo to work with is On My Way from the Brother Bear Soundtrack

I used The Climb by Miley Cyrus and Friends til the End by the Isaacs and Do I Make You Proud by Taylor Hicks.
I will have to post some of this years video when I can get a computer that doesn't crash every time i open my project. :)

Hey everyone,
I feel like I've been gone forever :). Just life taking up my time, ha ha. The best graduation song I think is Vitamin C Graduation. I've used it in several videos and it always makes people cry. I also like "One Moment in Time" by Whitney Houston. I know they used it alot for the Olympics one year and I always thought it was great. I love "The Climb" that's a great one. Now I'm trying to think of my year in review video - so many songs, so little time :)

I noticed that Donna has a ?? by Bubbly.
Bubbly by Colbie Caillat is one of my favorites :)

I always love "I Hope You Dance" by Lee Ann Womack. Chokes me up every time.

I actually downloaded that song, when it was free on iTunes to get her exposure, and loved it myself. Turned into a major hit.

I think this one will be on the charts soon - http://gabrieljeffrey.com/#num=content- ... =album-119

Never heard of her, but like that song as well.
Regards,
-Ron
