Eric Michael Krop: "Escapade" (Janet Jackson). "Escapade" reminds me that love is FUN and can be simple… And, a little weekend "escapade" never hurts. ☺

Eric Michael Krop: "It Takes Two" (Katy Perry). This new song by Katy Perry sums up a lot of relationship issues, while also being able to take a look at yourself.

Eric Michael Krop: "I Don't Know How To Love Him" (Jesus Christ Superstar). Religion, romance, Jesus… You can't go wrong with this song.

Derek Gregor: "Somewhere" (West Side Story). I saw West Side Story a lot.

Derek Gregor: "Jessie's Girl" (Rick Springfield). Sometimes your friends date really hot people.

Selda Sahin: "Just Give Me a Reason" (P!nk ft. Nate Ruess) This is an amazing song. How could it not make the list?!

Selda Sahin: "Fire and Rain" (James Taylor). The first time I heard this, I knew it made me feel different than just any other ordinary song.

Selda Sahin: "Where've You Been?" (Kathy Mattea). This song make me cry. Every time.

Selda Sahin: "What More Can I Say?" (Falsettos). What more can I say? It's the first theatre song I fell in love with.
