ONLY YOU by Joshua Radin


Singer Joshua Radin takes me back to Simon and Garfunkel. He has that laid back sound that reminds me so much of the 1960's. Enjoy so much listening to his beautiful soft voice singing mellow lyrics & great acoustic vibes.

Tonight, I'm going to have a glass of wine while listening to Joshua Radin's beautiful melancholy love songs!...Listen to the sample below &
see if Joshua Radin is "for you" also.


"All I needed was the LOVE you gave

All I needed for another day
And all I ever knew, ONLY YOU..."

(Originally performed by Yazoo)

Mabuhay ka, MIG!!!


Naalala nyo pa ba si Mig Ayesa?...the Filipino-Australian who become part of the reality show, Rockstar INXS?...well according to his official website, busy si Mig ngayon sa World tour ng kanyang Broadway debut na Burn the Floor, kung saan nasa Canada sila ngayon matapos ng matagumpay nilang performances sa Australia, Japan at Korea...Wish lang na sana maisip ng produ na isama sa listahan ang Pinas sa pagtatanghalan nila, para naman masilayan nating mga Pinoy ang pangworld class na talent ng ating kababayang si Mig!

And speaking of world class talent, di ko pa rin makakalimutan ang mga performances ni Mig nung sya ay kontestant pa sa Rockstar Inxs. Buti na lang may Youtube- dahil masarap kayang ulit-uliting panoorin ang mga 'to lalo na't nararamdaman mong proud ka sa sarili mo na isa kang Pinoy- na bihira na yata nating maramdaman sa mga panahong ito...



at ang pinakafave kong performance niya- his 'heart-melting' version of Peter Frampton's 1975 classic
BABY, I LOVE YOUR WAY:

IDOL LEE DEWYZE


Im not really a fan of
LEE DEWYZE but i had to admit that his performance in this year's American Idol is improving week after week.
I think Casey James should do something (pick the right song and be 'emotional') coz it appears that his superior musicianship, great vocals and style aren't helping him.
But in fairness to Lee, he has a voice with the smokiness of Bryan Adams, the physical movement of Bruce Springsteen and the force of a controlled energy ready to bust out!...So its also hard to ignore this dude!

HEY JUDE by The Beatles


THE BOXER by Simon and Garfunkel



**p.s. iklik lang po ang title kung gusto niyong idawnlod ang mga kantang yan. Enjoy! :D

All My Lovin'...


Can you guess who this celeb is?...


before all her drugs and shenanigans this was….Amy Winehouse!


She hasn't released any music for nearly three years. But the good news is- she's back in the studio to record new material with super produ Mark Ronson. While waiting for the new album to come out, listen to Amy Winehouse as she interprets one of the most popular hit single of The Beatles.

21 GUNS (Musical version)


First heard this in PBB Teen Clash of 2010 edition the other night...Every time I listen to it- it just speaks to me and it’s like a drug to my ears.


If you haven't heard this yet, I recommend you to check it out!...This is the new version of Green Day's hit song which features the cast of American Idiot The Musical. It’s very emotional grabbing, beautiful, and the vocals are so well done! It makes me want to see the musical really badly.
Enjoy!

TOP OF THE WORLD by Bjork


I'm sure familiar na kayo sa singer na si BJORK. Kung hindi naman ay iWiki mo na lang sya kung trip mong malaman ang ilang detalye sa layf nya!...Anyway, Im not really a fan of this Icelandic songstress pero nang marinig ko ang rendition nya sa kantang ito ng The Carpenters ay aba!- infairness nag-enjoy ako at nagalingan ako sa kanya!

(top of the world)


Okey din sa akin ang bersyon niya ng The Boho Dance na unang kinanta ni Joni Mitchell noong 1975.



Yun na!

JEALOUS GUY by Casey James


Among the remaining male finalists in this season's American Idol, i'll go for Casey James. His tender, emotionally raw performance of a John Lennon solo hit was just an outstanding performance. This is a great example of what a great cover rendition should be like!



Jealous Guy


I was dreaming of the past.
And my heart was beating fast,
I began to lose control,
I began to lose control,

I didn't mean to hurt you,
I'm sorry that I mad you cry,
I didn't want to hurt you,
I'm just a jealous guy,

I was feeling insecure,
You night not love me any more,

I was shivering inside,
I was shivering inside,

I was trying to catch your eyes,
Thought that you were trying to hide,
I was swallowing my pain,
I was swallowing my pain.

The original by Justin Bieber was catchy and cheezy, but this acoustic cover by TYLER WARD is actually really good!

RUFUS WAINWRIGHT: HALLELUJAH


Of all the cover version of this beautiful Leonard Cohen's classic, this one is my favorite.


Performed by
Rufus Wainwright, I thought the song HALLELUJAH is perfect for this lenten season. Hest interpreted the song in a melancholic but very uplifting way.




American singer-songwriter Jeff Buckley (who also covered the song) says,
"the song is like a tiny capsule of humanity, the lyrics and the melody are just incredible.... It's one of the greatest songs ive ever heard."
