Susan Boyle – Britain’s Got Talent 2009

Susan Boyle, a 47 year old woman surprised the world when she sang I Dreamed A Dream from Les Miserables. There’s a lot of videos of her audition on youtube but this link in particular is viewed at least 39 million times. That’s amazing! What’s more amazing is her beautiful voice, which you wouldn’t expect coming from her. In addition, she’s got great personality.

Lesson learned, DO NOT JUDGE THE BOOK BY IT’S COVER. Youtube disabled the embed function of all her videos so this video is from Dailymotion.com.

i’m yours…

listening to this cool and mellow music of Jason Mraz… just want to share it with y’all… Because of this song, I am now in the hunt for an acoustic guitar. I know nothing about guitars so I am getting advice from Mr Jim Doran.

So when I get my own guitar, this is the first song that I will try to play and will dedicate it to my wife. =) Have fun listening to the song…

Congratulations Avery!

Congratulations to my niece Avery for winning yet again, the 1st place of the Harford County Piano Festival that was held on April 26, 2008. This year, there were seven participants and she came on top (along with another girl – 2 of them came in first place).

This was not the first time she competed for this recital. She also came in First Place the first time she competed back in 2006. Check out her performance…

Once again, congrats Avery!

Billie Jean by Michael Jackson

Despite all the negativity about MJ, I still think no one out there can take his title as the King of Pop. I’ve always liked his songs, but American Idol’s finalist David Cook performed a different version of Billie Jean, which was arranged and sung by Chris Cornell. If you all didn’t know Chris Cornell (such as myself), check out this link. Mr Jim Doran has told me that he was the lead singer of Soundgarden, a popular band from mid to late 90’s. Anyway, the Billie Jean version of Chris Cornell is actually pretty good. Just want to share you all that coz I’ve been listening to this song ever since… have fun and take care…
