I just drooled…

•February 5, 2010 • Leave a Comment

…seriously, I did it without realising. Lol, I was just watching this video of Andrea Bocelli and Katherine McPhee singing Somos Novios. I was just listening and watching and then *drip* on my arm. Embarrassing as it may seem, I don’t mind announcing it to the world if it’s in favor to this outrageously amazing performance. I feel so deprived when I see that this was done years ago.

FYI, this video evidently causes drooling, please refrain if you are in close vicinity to open sockets and so on.

Apologies about the slight fuzziness in the audio.

I’m a Gleek

..and I’m sure many more of you out there are Gleeks too. (Term used for a fan and follower of the hit comedy-musical, oozing with stereotypical high school life, Glee)

Anyway, just a few things that I would like to say about the TV miracle, that is Glee.

  • Sue Sylvester (Jane Lynch) is just the best character.
  • Quinn Fabray (Diana Agron) is hot.
  • Rachel Barry (Lea Michelle) is an amazing vocalist I just want to know how she does it.
  • I love the fact that they put their own spin to well-known tracks. They all have a way of fitting into the storyline and ‘cos I know the lyrics, sing along.. you know?!
  • Brittany from the cheerios is an underrated character in the show, but is an amazing dancer and so darn funny “I bet the duck’s in the hat”
  • I want to be a part of the show, so if you don’t mind (Mr Producer, Sir) could you audition me and have a VERY open mind in doing so :)

Well, as always, I have much more to say about the show but I’ll let you guys make up your own mind about it.

Jayma Mays, who plays Emma in Glee has provided us with a nice little video. Enjoy :)

Guys I’ve missed the look of this ‘new post’ page like MAD. Seriously, I’ve had hard times missing my blogness.!!

But let’s move on quickly..

A friend of mine brought this group of guys to my attention. They are called ‘Legaci‘. With their silky vocals used in an acoustic harmony it really does make you keep your cursor cemented upon the ‘replay’ button. My words can only say so much, so I’ll let them sing…

There isn’t a more perfect song that they could have sung to show you how much talent they have than Endlessly by B4-4. It also makes the little guy in the back of your head turn green with envy when they provide you with the knowledge that your voice could not do such things!!!! Or is that just me?? Joke ;) ACTUALLY I found a harmony that would have went well with their blend :D

Anyway this has made me certain that I will never cover this song as I intended to before (with three lovely ladies)…. or will I??

If you enjoyed this then definitely check out their youtube channel HERE!

At work, on WPress, Thinking…

…about you. I love the way you look, the way you move, the way you smile, the way you talk and even your scent. I’m super duper attracted to you and you’ve said the same thing. I wonder if you’ll let me just sit down and stare at you for a while..

another apology

•December 30, 2009 • 3 Comments

I’m on my phone blogging. And not because I’m on the go. No.
Sad times actually, I haven’t used my laptop for about a week, and tonight I was gonna =/
HOWEVER, when I pressed the switch-on button, it didn’t react… So what I did was put it on the charger like any other normal person will do.. cos you see, I’m normal =p
The light switched on (que spotlight and “ahh” angel humming) and then it slowly faded away (cut the spotlight).
Mad disappointment. I leave it for my mother to use and then it just stops working. NO I’m not placing blame to anyone in case you’re reading mummy (cos she does LOL gotta be careful of content ;] ). Anyway, until I figure out how to fix it, I will be paused once again.
Anyhow, for those of you who can’t be bothered to check on a regular basis as to if I’ve posted new content, I have a subscription widget on the right side bar that will notify you via email when I post ;)
Pretty cool.. I THINK SO!!!

So much love to you

Sick Stuff

Ring a bell?? She was on American Idol earlier this yeah… I think =/

Anyways I was rocking out to the tune ‘Alone‘ by Heart (Celine Dion’s cover) in my parents room because it happened to come on and then I remembered an awesome rendition of this song on American Idol by Allison. In my opinion, out of all those girls throughout the seasons of American Idol trying to sprout wings and fly with this song, Allison did the best. AND she’s only sixteen here!!

She performed it twice, once for the judges and again for getting through. I much liked the second performance better. They both rocked but you see.. I like what I like. So I got the second performance :p

At 1.04 minutes into the video she hits a beautiful note, easily missed though as she pulls the microphone away from her mouth at the time. I love the way she controlled herself at 1.32 as well. Watch out for those bits :)

Enjoy, because it was hell looking for this video.

Unfortunately, this video has disabled embedding so please click this link –> Allison Irahetta – Alone to watch this :)

Two things:

  • Love has no Distance – AJ Rafael & Jesse Barrera
  • The Shures

Ever since I heard the cover of Love has no distance (in my last post) I’ve kinda fallen for it, I love the original and I’ve found some pretty good covers to it aswell. Heres a good one from the very talented, Andrew Garcia (previously featured in past posts :p).

Now, The Shures have been featured in ‘Don’t touch my Ear’ twice before (recently actually) and I have found myself enjoying them more and more every time I listen to them.

A little biography description;
Ashley Burns – The girl, from america usually on the guitar. Centered in most of their videos.
Chris Kennedy – The British guy, usually on our right in their videos.
Gabriel Cabrera – The Australian guy, usually on our left in their videos.
“With their amazing blend of close-knit harmonies, one would find it hard to believe that The Shures have never even met in person… yet! That’s right, coming from three different countries (England, Australia & America) The Shures write and record over the internet. Having met over 2 years ago on a popular music networking site, Chris Kennedy, Gabriel Cabrera and Ashley Burns loved each others voices so much… they decided to join them together to see what would happen. End result… magic. Not letting distance stop them, they used the internet (and their macbooks) to their advantage and started working on demos in hopes of taking this to the next level.
With many plans and opportunities on the horizon, that next level is well within reach! SUBSCRIBE and follow The Shures on their musical journey right here on youtube.”

Please note; The Shures have met in person. The little description above was probably written a while ago. You can find it on their youtube channel.

Here is The Shures singing a cover to Battlefield – Jordin Sparks

Gabriel Cabrera (the on the left singing most of the song) has a really good quality in his voice. And that is one of the reasons I have been drawn to The Shures more and more. Chris has a nice smooth tone to his voice which is very nice to listen to and I love the control Ashley has to her voice. Anyway, this cover was done a while ago as Bad Romance and Tik Tok were their most recent ones and I got them down already ;)

A nice Xmas way to end this post!

It’s Cimorelli with Joy to the World. Cimorelli, the harmony maniacs!!

Back then..

…when I actually used to watch t.v (sad.. I know) I watched hundreds of different things. And I had a little flashback just now when I watched Beyonce perform live in a Christmas atmosphere. So I youtubed and I found Beyonce getting punked, something that made me laugh.. a lot, back then. *teardrops*

Her face as the tree goes down. Classic. Epic win for Ashton haha!

LONG TIME GUYSS

Not really just a few days… o_O

Anyway I got a OCD kinda thing where if in the same day I post more than one post, passers-by will just take notice of the first post and then move along…….. I mean c’mon guys, SCROLL DOWN!! Haha! Anyway just letting you guys know that will still be doing that HOWEVER not on this post :)

K, so.. yeah. Just wanted to say I TOLD YOU SO!! Uhm, yeah cos I knew ‘The Shures’ were talented. They really are good. It’s just a Lady GaGa cover will definitely be, well, different. Haha! But yeah, check them out singing Kesha’s Tik Tok. Their cover is more acoustic and sung if that makes any sense..? They really sound good individually and together, I love the falsetto transition too ;)

Leah, Leah.. Leah. Shes good. I mean, I like her voice and her flow. She’s also not afraid to show she is not perfect. She does mess up a bit in her youtube videos. But when she gets it right it does sound real good. WHO CARES about messing up anyway?! She apologizes anyways so we cool. One thing though… she does talk. A LOT! Haha. ‘Tis also cool though.
If you want to skip to just the singing, go to 2.04 minutes into the vid.

Saw this video, liked it a lot. And I swear I blogged it already… or maybe I’m confusing it with the video they did with Jenny Suk covering Watcha say – Jason Derulo. Anyway I have to say, JR Aquino does have a sick voice!! Well done to them again.
Replay – JRAquino AJRafael and Andrew Garcia
Outtakes rock too!

Check this out guys. This is also great =) HARMONY FTW!! oh and I met The Bathroom Girl **giggles!!

Thats all for now! If you want the links to their channels just comment via this post. USUALLY I would post them myself but they are mostly collaborations =/ forgive me.

PEACE!
