Korean Artist IVY

Hey I admit I am a sucker for people who I feel are undeservedly bashed. Lately I've noticed this artist being discussed/bashed for her private life which no one who post actually know the details of and I don't feel like posting details that are unsubstantiated

I don't know too much about this artist but I did find this video which I like. She appears to be a hard worker with talent. I commend her for that. Here is Tempation of Sonata... Let me know what you think

First Song of the Day: Christmas Song

Well just a while ago I finally got to catch a bit of GMA (Good Morning America) and Josh Groban was on singing Christmas Song. Well I don't own a Josh Groban album and haven't found his rendition online but here is one of my favorites - Nat King Cole. In fact, I think I'm going downstairs and put his Christmas CD on after I post this.

Somehow this song just feels so right on a rainy day (It is raining in Los Angeles)

Enjoy!

Lyrics - Last Christmas via lyrics007.com

Title: wham! - Last Christmas lyrics

Artist: wham!

Chorus:

Last Christmas, I gave you my heart
But the very next day, You gave it away
This year, to save me from tears
I'll give it to someone special

Last Christmas, I gave you my heart
But the very next day, You gave it away
This year, to save me from tears
I'll give it to someone special

Once bitten and twice shy
I keep my distance but you still catch my eye
Tell me baby do you recognise me?
Well it's been a year, it doesn't surprise me

(Happy Christmas!) I wrapped it up and sent it
With a note saying "I Love You" I meant it
Now I know what a fool I've been
But if you kissed me now I know you'd fool me again

Chorus

(Oooh. Oooh Baby)

A crowded room, friends with tired eyes
I'm hiding from you and your soul of ice
My God I thought you were someone to rely on
Me? I guess I was a shoulder to cry on
A face on a lover with a fire in his heart
A man undercover but you tore me apart
Oooh Oooh
Now I've found a real love you'll never fool me again

Chorus

A face on a lover with a fire in his heart
(Gave you my heart)
A man undercover but you tore me apart
Next year
I'll give it to someone, I'll give it to someone special
special
someone
someone
I'll give it to someone, I'll give it to someone special
who'll give me something in return
I'll give it to someone
hold my heart and watch it burn
I'll give it to someone, I'll give it to someone special
I've got you here to stay
I can love you for a day
I thought you were someone special
gave you my heart
I'll give it to someone, I'll give it to someone
last christmas I gave you my heart
you gave it away
I'll give it to someone, I'll give it to someone

FirstSong of the Day: Last Christmas

Well if you surf the web I'm sure you've come across Ashley Tisdale's lipsynching rendition of Wham's Last Christmas. I am not a fan of lipsynching but it seems more and more people want/expect perfection. I'm fine with people not hitting the perfect note each time as long as they bring emotion and themselves to the performances. Too often when lipsynching people tend to be "cutesy" which I think is where Miss Tisdale went wrong. Still I'm not ready to throw stones at her or pubicly flog her. She will have good performances and bad and as long as she learns and grows from the bad then what is the harm, right?

Anyway here is a her performance



Come to think of it singing cutesy to Last Christmas isn't so bad. It's not like its a deep emotional song and the best thing is I remember really liking Wham's song so it gave me another chance to remember it. Here it is for you all too

First Song of the Day: Chris De Burgh--Lady In Red

Not sure how this song popped up on my radar today but the first song I heard today was via online and it's Lady in Red by Chris De Burgh. I do believe it is the only song that I know by this artist

Looking at my open tabs it seems it was in a link I click that opened to a tribute to Angelina Jolie:

First Song I Heard Today - Humming Urban Stereo's Stalker

Had a late start today when it came to music. Watched GMA (Good Morning America) and tried to get warm. You know when it cools down a bit in Los Angeles we act as if it is FREEZING. Anyway the first song I listened to was one by Korean artistHumming Urban Stereo, a group who is becoming one of my favorites - which means I would pay for their albums.

So I share with you my first song for today - Stalker

Monkey Majik

Now to introduce you to a band I've really been into lately,Monkey Majik. Part of the interesting thing about them is that the the singers/guitarist, the Plant brothers although in a Japanese band and living in Sendai are from Canada. Together with the drummer,"tax" and bassist,"DICK" they have even had their second single"Around the World" peaking at 4th on the Unicorn charts.

Well here is a personal favorite (other than their Picture Perfect with M-flo)

and their website

Stella's Notch

Here is a band we happened to come across while following another band. Why don't you try to guess what band, they are connected in at least 2 ways. They went to Manila fairly recently in October for 9 days. And released their 1st album, Beyond Wonderland this year. With their almost enchanting sound we haven't been able to get enough of their music lately. I hear they may have another album planned but that is not totally confirmed yet so we may all have to wait a bit more.

I believe OldiebutaGoodie already added a link but here is their myspace page just in case and hey you can't have too much of a good thing.

First Song I heard today - Kelly Rowland's Stole

Here is where we share with you the first song we hear each day.

Today is Kelly Rowland's Stole from her first album. I actually read an article about a show she recently did where the tickets were complimentary or 75cents - depending on the person telling the story. It made me think of the music business and industry. Is she not selling because of a bad album, a bad presentation or just mad management and promotion or could it be a bad economy. I do believe she has a talented voice.

Anyway here is a link to her Stole Video: http://youtube.com/watch?v=yYQiivAzfrU

and a link to her Myspace: http://www.myspace.com/kellyrowland

and for a bonus here is Dilemna featuring Nelly:

New Song by Jeffrey

A couple of days ago Jeffrey added another song to his SoundClick page,The Rush. Here is a link Soundclick.

Here is a quote from a bulletin Jeffrey posted on Mypace."So, I decided it was high time for me to upload a new song. I really like this song, it's totally my favorite song that I've written so far. Lyrically, it's not that deep, and vocally, there's not much too it, but I just love the beat and the way it turned out. It's all sexyyy.... haha, embarrassing. Yeah, listen to it!"

and the lyrics:
The Rush
Lyrics by Jeffrey Phung

Hush now, just another minute
I want you but I don't wanna forget it
When you come take me away

Hold on, tell me can you feel it?
How you come and push me to the limit
Feels like there's no words to say

'Cause I'll do what you want me to and
We'll sink into our own groove and
Feels like the world melts away

You strip me of my disguises
No need for the petty lies when
You come and say what you say

(Chorus)
So hush now, tell me can you feel the rush?
Slow down, feel it as you feel me up
You got me crazy, really want you, want you
So hush now, I just wanna feel the rush
Speed up, I don't ever wanna stop
You got me crazy like I want to, I want to

Don't stop, I can still feel it
I want this and I don't wanna regret it
Just come and take me away

Hold on, tell me what you're feeling
I don't want for this moment to be fleeting
I just want to stay where I lay

'Cause I'll give you a fantasy and
I'll do more than you believe 'cause
Feels like your body's a stage

You strip me of my defenses
I fall hard when I lose my senses
'Cause you come and blow me away

(Repeat Chorus)

M-Flo

Here is a clip I found online that is from a live M-Flo show. I like the song, it is not my favorite but one reason I like the clip is because it includes their original member, Lisa.

I like when groups can still work together and I really think they perform with genuine affection for each other. Also this clip has a siting of Verbal without the ever present shades.



-AnOldieButAGoodie

Who is M-Flo?

Well here is a little snippet from their Wikipedia page:

m-flo is a Japanese hip hop group consisting of producer and DJ Taku Takahashi and emcee VERBAL as of 2002, ever since the former member Lisa left the group.

As to the origins of the group's name, VERBAL had explained that it was originally "mediarite-flow," an intended misspelling of meteorite, but for the Japanese that name was too long, and so Avex had requested that the name be shortened to m-flo. VERBAL had commented that "There's no deep meaning to it. I guess we wanna have impact like a meteorite."


I guess you can also call them one of my current musical obsessions.
