Maxime's Top 5 Favorite Music Videos
Maxime is my 3 year old nephew and he likes to watch music videos on my laptop. Here are his top 5 favorite videos. I've included links to each video in case the powers that be decide to disable embedded video.
5. Arturo Márquez, Danzón No. 2 - Gustavo Dudamel, Teresa Carreño Youth Orchestra
In this video Gustavo Dudamel leads the Teresa Carreño Youth Orchestra (Venezuela's national high-school-age youth orchestra) in a performance for the February 2009 TED Conference. Dudamel and the Orchestra are a product of El Sistema.
I've included the whole video here as it's worth watching. However, for Maxime I only play the Orchestra's performance of Arturo Márquez' Danzón No. 2. Maxime seems to have a bit of a connection with Gustavo, perhaps it's the hair.

4. Gnarls Barkley, Crazy
I love this song and for some reason my nephew does too. I wouldn't have expected him to like this song. Maybe it's the uniforms or maybe he just likes good music.
3. Colbie Caillat, Bubbly
Maxime's brother and sister like this one too. I've embedded a live version of the song as the record company has disabled embedding the promotional video, which is the video I play for my nephew. You'll find a link to that video below.
2. Coldplay, The Scientist
Not sure if it's the whole backward thing or the scene of kids playing basketball that does it for him.
1. Natalie Imbruglia, Torn
Great song, pretty girl, falling walls... what more could a 3 year old kid want?
