Emcy Corteza-Faustino - Kahit Ika'y Panaginip Lang

I've always liked this song; its lyrics most especially, but it wasn't until I heard this rendition that made me realize how gut-wrenching this song can be.

Emcy Faustino, or as we Shanghai kids lovingly call her Mommy Emcy, is such a wonderful singer. I especially love it when she sings heartfelt songs with such emotion. It's with singers like her that makes me strive to become better at singing; that to be technically good is not enough, you have to understand and feel the song, and in turn make listeners feel it as well.

With the song choice combined with Mommy Emcy's singing, just wait and see how it affects the dancers. Song starts at around [1:55].

Smith - Baby It's You




"Baby It's You" 

Smith (Cover, Original by The Shirelles)
Written by Burt Bacharach (music), Luther Dixon (credited as Barney Williams) and Mack David (lyrics). 
A Group Called Smith (1969)




I've heard all the versions, and all of the covers available on Youtube. In my honest opinion, no one has sang it better than Gayle McCormick. No one got even close. If anybody came near, it would be Haley Reinhart.

Hell yes I'm a fan, it's actually because of her that I learned of this song. No, I have not seen Death Proof yet.

Khalil Fong (方大同) - Because of You (因為你)


也許是天氣
也許是運氣
也許是因為有人不放棄
也許是天意
也許不願意
也許是因為她
還是因為我和你
