I was searching "I Don't Want To Know" on Youtube, in hopes that it'll match to a video of a song by Fleetwood Mac. I did find want I want, but another link lead me to this excellent cover by Florence Welch of Florence + the Machines.
This RnB song suddenly got so much more soul and feeling! Florence, you can do no wrong.
Channel surfing through Youtube, I found myself watching a bunch of auditions for a singing competition in South Korea called Superstar K3. Though I do have a bit of a problem with singers singing english with bad pronunciations, I still recognize whether or not they actually have good singing voices to begin with. I find it quite mean for some viewers to comment on how bad some auditioners are just because they falter when they sing english lyrics. I'm like, dude try and sing in their language, and I highly doubt anyone's going to understand a word of your attempt!
Seeing a link in Korean with "Virtual Insanity" on the title, I was instantly intrigued as how that audition might go. I was surprised to see that it was a duo, I didn't really understand the start of the video very much; I just inferred that they were a rather awkward couple. But the moment the guy started playing and the girl started singing, they had caught my ears. I've not heard of a female singer with her tone, she was a bit nasally though, but that harmony by the guy. Pure love! I think my heart melted.
Then they start to sing another song. and so now I'm like, oh my gaaaahd! This is so gooood! They're so good! That song is great! Armed with the song title, "Romantico" I had to find the mp3! And so I found out that it was by a certain singer named TeTe.
I found out that this auditioning duo call themselves "Two Months". I hope the go far in the competition. :)
It's really hard for me to categorize everything that interests me, especially in music since there's hardly anything I'm not willing to try and listen to. For as long as my ears don't deem a sound as noise, I'll take it.
Songs I feature in my blog may seem a bit dated. I realize that each day, I discover and "recover" old songs more than new ones. In fact, I hardly know what's in the charts today.
I hope that by this blog, I can help people discover the varied music of the world! [05.12.2006]
