Everybody know who dat, who dat? I-Z-Z-Y *
Those were the song lyrics rolling around in my brain as I painstakingly searched YouTube for music from my childhood that did not sound anything like that!!
* In the midst of my frustration and confusion, my husband corrected me and said: “Her name is IGGY!”
I thought to myself: ‘Not IZZY?? Ooops! My bad!’
No wonder I wasn’t getting anywhere with my search. (O.o)
Iggy Azalea got some people angry. They seem to think she’s a fake RAPPER. A white girl from Australia? Those who disapprove of her say she can’t be real! (Whatever!)
She has other people who apparently support her, like J-Lo, who asked her to collaborate. Why not? Jennifer Lopez is driven and her business and financial philosophy is obvious. She’ll make a buck whenever and wherever with whoever. (Whatever!)
I am not a fan of Ms. Iggy. I don’t keep up with her, so it makes no difference to me. I’m just glad that my husband corrected me on the name. 🙂
Both Izzy and Iggy are unusual names. Never heard the name “Iggy” until Ms. Azalea hit the rap music scene. Can’t explain it, but for some reason I misspelled that simple 4-letter name by replacing the two Gs with two Zs; only to discover that “Izzy” is also the name of a fairly popular singer in the music industry.
This are just interesting tidbits about the name “Izzy” and “Iggy”.
“Izzy” can be a name for a girl or a boy; and it has 3 different meanings in three different languages.

According to that same source, “Iggy” is a boy’s name; a nickname for Ignatius.
Anyway … back to what this post is really about. This name confusion all started because I was searching YouTube for a song that I heard often during my childhood years but not so much in my later or adult years. In the process of searching for the song I found a songstress named Izzy; NOT Iggy.
She is into classical music; NOT rap music. The song from my childhood that I was searching for is: “Finlandia – Be Still My Soul”. Managed to locate two music videos. Izzy performing a solo in one video; and a beautiful choir singing the song in another video. I prefer the choral version as opposed to Izzy’s solo. Seems like the instruments or the orchestra are drowning out her voice. Sharing the links, if you want to listen.
Not sharing the link to the Iggy (not Izzy) Azalea video with the song lyrics mentioned above because: (1) explicit lyrics and (2) I don’t really like the song. Apologies if I have offended any Iggy Azalea fans. We all have different musical tastes and songs that touch us in a certain way. You can not possibly imagine how delighted I was to find “Finlandia”.
