Seth MacFarlane 2013 Oscars Host's "Music Is Better Than Words"

Here's a short video about Seth's CD. It's called Music is Better Than Words.



Here's one of his videos from the CD - Anytime Anywhere




Ain't That A Kick In The Head




Duh, finally found the CD title song Music is Better Than Words




With Sara Bareilles - Love Won't Let You Get Away

There is an article (was it posted here) that said Seth McFarlane raised a lot of laughs at the rehearsal, so hopefully in for a good show! (will see if I can find it).

LOS ANGELES (AP) — Early reviews for Seth MacFarlane's Oscar-hosting skills are very positive.

Of course, the Academy Awards won't be presented until Sunday, but MacFarlane won laughs from the show's director during a rehearsal Thursday night inside the Dolby Theatre.

The 39-year-old entertainer wore jeans and sneakers as he practiced the various introductions he'll make on show night.

"Excellent. Looks really, really good, Seth," director Don Mischer's voice boomed over a loudspeaker onstage. "You're getting lots of laughs in the control room."

The jokes? We're sworn to secrecy but yes, very funny.

Sandra Bullock got a few laughs of her own at the rehearsal. The actress breezed through the theater for a quick rehearsal wearing sky-high heels with cropped pants and pin-straight hair, a credential hanging from her neck. She chewed gum, chatted with MacFarlane and left the show's producers cracking up.

It's funny, he reminds me of Michael Buble in that you don't expect that genre of music coming from the two of them. Both beautiful voices! "old soul voices"

Just had to post this one too. I've always loved this song too. From Sound of Music - "Something Good"

Thanks Lorna - I never heard of him before but I see he has a beautiful singing voice (and I might add a sexy speaking voice).

And another positive point, he's not wearing a beard. He might be my new crush. LOL

I was reading an online article about the Oscars this morning - not sure where - should have copied the url.

Anyway, it said that the Oscars tonight will NOT end with the Best Picture Award.

Seth is going to do a big musical production number with Kristin Chenowoth (I think that's her name). So if that's true then this will be an interesting ending for the show.

I've set my DVR to tape it and have extended the taping time by 30 minutes just to make sure I get it all since these shows tend to go over!!

Lorna...the song is from film Gigi.

Classy stuff, Mr MacFarlane...........

Thanks for the videos...he's my kind of guy. Love the songs. I heard about the musical ending. Should be interesting I like Kristen Chenowith....

Hi, Joanna, which song is from Gigi?

Something Good is from The Sound of Music.

Um...the video played The Night They Invented Champagne...it's that one from Gigi.

Oooooooo.....it's changed now to the one you mentioned....

Ghoolies and Ghosties in my iPad !!!

You know it's probably not your iPad. That is also one of the songs Seth sings and it's on a list for that YouTube page. So maybe it went to that song first? Not sure but it may be an explanation.

And yes, you are correct The Night They Invented Champagne is from Gigi - one of my favorite films. I love the scenes of Louis Jordan at night in front of the lighted fountains with Louis only seen in shadow. Of course, the film - when you think about it - is a bit creepy - if you look at it from the older man with a just barely out of school young woman.

Ah hell, now I screwed up that film for myself! Aarrgh!

Oh you are a hoot !!!

What about the film Lolita from years ago ???

I know what the film is about but have never seen it!

it's really nice
get and see it

the song


Gigi:
The night they invented champagne
It's plain as it can be
They thought of you and me
The night they invented champagne
They absolutely knew
That all we'd want to do is
Fly to the sky on champagne
And shout to everyone in sight
That since that world began
No woman or a man has ever been as happy as we are tonight!

Gaston:
The night they invented champagne
It's plain as it can be
They thought of you and me
The night they invented champagne
They absolutely knew
That all we'd want to do is
Fly to the sky on champagne
And shout to everyone in sight
That since that world began
No woman or a man has ever been as happy as we are tonight!
