听歌学英语:柔情似水版 Beat It

Beat it是一首摇滚名曲，入围了摇滚名人堂史上500首经典之作，同时入围滚石杂志最佳100首摇滚吉他歌曲。这首歌曲由Michael Jackson亲手作词、作曲，并演唱，后来经过时任美国总统的里根的建议，将这首歌用在，一个劝导禁止酒驾的公益广告中。杰克逊本人也因此被里根总统请至白宫，亲自为其颁发了“世界杰出青年奖”以及“特别贡献奖”。同时杰克逊也凭借"Beat It"这首歌获得了第26届格莱美最佳摇滚男歌手。在今天的节目里，我要为大家送上的是女声版的beat it。如果说男歌手的声线给人烟的感觉，音符像吐出的烟圈，阳刚而有力，那么女歌手的嗓音就像是红酒，充满柔情，意犹未尽。
