for example, i do like these songs. I just think even without the voices on them, they'd still be pretty good.

Poker Face- Lady GaGa

Take a bow instumental
They played it on Danni minogue's reality show and i've heard the instrumetal loads and i think it's beautiful personally.

I've always thought this to be a fantastic version of a song from wicked: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=hDfAAo6keKI

La Roux - Bulletproof

Florence and the Machine - Cosmic Love

WOW i love that instrumental!

I like having some instrumentals. I've got some from Beyoncé, Ciara, Rihanna, Danity Kane, Ne-Yo and Kelly Rowland. I find that I notice more sounds whether it be a few hand claps or differences in the chorus compared to the beginning of the song to the end etc.

Oh forgot to post this, think this is really beautiful

Starry Eyed- Ellie Goulding

There are so many layers hidden under her voice. I wish i had it in CD quality.

I always remember many years ago when I bought a 12 inch vinyl version of an old Toni Braxton song. It was supposed to be played at the old 33 1/3 album speed, but without thinking, I put the instrumental version on at 45 speed and it sounded brilliant.

When i realised what i'd done, i played it at the normal speed and it didn't sound half as good

Would help if I could remember the bloody song though ..

Do you also remember playing cassette tapes and pushing the Pause button halfway down to play at double speed? When I was young I used to put "Now" cassette tapes on at double speed, made a lot of the songs sound better. I used to think I was turning them into garage tracks.

By the way, I just listened that Xtina instrumental and it's jarring.

Eleanor Rigby by The Beatles is the best instrumental I've ever heard. It really stands on its own and is just as powerful to listen to as the original, especially when you know the song very well to begin with. If you know the song, give it a listen, it's amazing.

Viva La Vida's pretty awesome as well, again because it stands on its own as a great piece of music. I'm not sure if that's widely available though, I came across it on some obscure site.

And totally different, but the Broken Heels instrumental is pretty great on its own as well.

Russian Roulette is interesting without the vocals:

yeah another one i forgot to post, love it

Did you mean to post Wearing My Rolex?

Aha! That's it! I knew that Kele track sounded like something I'd heard before, just couldn't think what it was.

I like the 'poker face' instrumental but 'bad romance' is my favourite from her.

Halo and Bulletproof were 2 of my fave songs last year. As a song I preferred Halo but I think Bulletproof has the more exciting instrumental!

Goldfrapp - Strict Machine, especially the extended remix version.

Lady GaGa: Telephone - http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=9gFiaFgBeMM

Ke$ha: Blah Blah Blah- http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=g44IMaaUxho

This mans Piano version of Justin Biebers, Somebody To Love is beautiful, even for a Justin Bieber song: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=OorwWXW26Lg

I love that song but without her voice its just noise
