Music Guitar Festival

I have much to post about.. soo all of it will be done post by post. First up.. How the Guitar Music Festival Went.Here’s the thing.. I forgot that sometimes when I leave certain tabs open and revisit them.. they can screw an entire post that I took a good 20 minutes in order to get it all proper! Sigh… Ah well, my post on the Malaysia’s First Guitar Festival is gone. But at least now I can write ABOUT the event. Hehe.. i went for the final performance by not only the stars themselves but also the finalist of the guitar competition. Not all the stars however made it for the final show. John Goldie from UK and Jorge Orozco from Spain wasn’t there Tonight these were the star players. You can see more of the pictures here on AroniL’s picasa album and the performances which i recorded without shame here at AroniL’s youtube…. Hey I love these artists and I wanna share the love! ^_^

(L-R) Stan Zamfirescu , Roger Wang and Don Alder.

The night started off with the finalist of the guitar competition held last week. With four very talented boys from KL, PJ, and SJ…? I think that’s where most of them are from. Here they are the finalist. Each of them had to play two songs for the judges to hear which also happened to be our star of the night Stan, Roger and Don.

The guy at the far left won, Jia Ming…. I’m really sorry but I can’t recall their names and sad to say i didn’t manage to video all their performances. If anybody knows please do tell. And then finally…. after all four contestants had finished performing then the judges themselves one by one came on to perform. Yay! Here’s Stan Zamfirescu,playing one of his famous pieces which i saw on youtube. And soo cool he greeted us in BM.I’m uploading the videos now.. so go check them here at AroniL’s youtube.

Roger Wang playing A chinese folk song his aunty used to teach him when he was little and did a rendition of it on the guitar.. You should also see his “Man in the Mirror”by Michael Jackson, version on the guitar. It was a request. One thing when I was blogging prior to this post was I couldn’t find many videos on Roger Wang on youtube.. But no matter.. I shall help spread his artistic skills!!!

Don Alder. And the man himself… the guru of finger plucking finally played… I was just waiting and so was the crows to see him pick up the harp guitar… this little baby. That my dear friends is a harp guitar…I don’t exactly know what the different strings are.. but it looks mighty cool. Read more here at Harp Guitars.

The highlight of the night was when Don Alder then did a duet with Roger Wang…. dude.. the Don can sing!!! They performed “Superstitious” and I’m reallly really corry that the video sucks but at least I got the music. You’re gonna have to listen and watch it in parts cause i was running low on memory and was frantically deleting stuff form my phone and camera… It was quite a sight haha.

Really glad I had gone for it and can’t wait for next year. I hope they bring Andy Mckee next year.. he is another smashing artist.

Colbie Caillat – Bubbly

There are those when I’m bummed out at work and more so when there is something that is really cracking my head even though i’m not suppose to do it but, because I’m nice I do it anyway. I was trying to figure some computer stuff out, which will be very helpful for me in the long run. But in the short run it’s just giving me a headache. And then my headache cleared when I heard this song. When I first heard this on the radio…I fell in love with her song. It is so refreshing, much like Maria Digby’s version of Umbrella. It has this little country sway to it, that just makes you wanna perk up when you gear the music. Light plucking of the guitar and soft sweet singing. Almost like an innocent little girl singing in the meadows. Ah makes me remember of all the times that I can smile. Thanks Colbie for writing such a sweet song. Sweet enough for those mushy, cutesy, wutesy times…. haaaaaa…. I needed that lol. Wanna be happy and sing along?? There ya go the lyrics to Bubbly. (Speak) Will you count me in? (Sing) I’ve been awake for a while now You’ve got me feeling like a child now ‘Cause every time I see your bubbly face I get the tinglies in a silly place It starts in my toes and I crinkle my nose Where ever it goes I always know That you make me smile please stay for a while now Just take your time where ever you go The rain is falling on my window pane But we are hiding in a safer place Under cover staying dry and warm You give me feelings that I adore They start in my toes make me crinkle my nose Where ever it goes I always know That you make me smile Please stay for awhile now Just take your time wherever you go But what am I gonna say When you make me feel this way I just…mmmmmmmm It starts in my toes makes me crinkle my nose Where ever it goes I always know That you make me smile Please stay for awhile now Just take your time Where ever you go Duh duh duh duh duh da duh duh duh duh dum Bom bo da da da da da bom Mmm mmm I’ve been a sleep for awhile now You tuck me in just like a child now ‘Cause every time you hold me in your arms I’m comfortable enough to feel your warmth It starts in my soul and I lose all control When you kiss my nose the feeling shows ‘Cause you make me smile Baby just take your time now holding me tight Wherever, wherever, wherever you go wherever, wherever, wherever you go Oh wherever you go I always know You make me smile just for a while

Big Girls Don’t Cry

I just felt like putting this up. I don’t fully get the video story but I absolutely love this song by Fergie. She’s gorgeous and has wonderful writing skills. It’s one of those times I suppose and her song is perfect for those occasions when i’m outta words.

Fergie Big Girls Don’t Cry Lyrics

Fergie Lyrics
Big Girls Don’t Cry Lyrics Da Da Da Da The smell of your skin lingers on me now You’re probably on your flight back to your home town I need some shelter of my own protection baby To be with myself and center, clarity Peace, Serenity [CHORUS:] I hope you know, I hope you know That this has nothing to do with you It’s personal, myself and I We’ve got some straightenin’ out to do And I’m gonna miss you like a child misses their blanket But I’ve got to get a move on with my life It’s time to be a big girl now And big girls don’t cry Don’t cry Don’t cry Don’t cry The path that I’m walking I must go alone I must take the baby steps ’til I’m full grown, full grown Fairytales don’t always have a happy ending, do they? And I foresee the dark ahead if I stay [CHORUS:] I hope you know, I hope you know That this has nothing to do with you It’s personal, myself and I We’ve got some straightenin’ out to do [Big Girls Don't Cry lyrics on http://www.metrolyrics.com] And I’m gonna miss you like a child misses their blanket But I’ve got to get a move on with my life It’s time to be a big girl now And big girls don’t cry Like the little school mate in the school yard We’ll play jacks and uno cards I’ll be your best friend and you’ll be mine Valentine Yes you can hold my hand if you want to ‘Cause I want to hold yours too We’ll be playmates and lovers and share our secret worlds But it’s time for me to go home It’s getting late, dark outside I need to be with myself and center, clarity Peace, Serenity [CHORUS] I hope you know, I hope you know That this has nothing to do with you It’s personal, myself and I We’ve got some straightenin’ out to do And I’m gonna miss you like a child misses their blanket But I’ve got to get a move on with my life It’s time to be a big girl now And big girls don’t cry Don’t cry Don’t cry Don’t cry La Da Da Da Da Da

Charice Pempengco beautiful voice

People, Ari showed me this video of this young 14 year old girl by the name of Charice Pempengco. And boyyyyyyyyyyy can she sing!!!! For such a teeny tiny body, she’s got the voice of Christina Aguilera coming up. Just check out this comparison video of her and Beyonce. The Phillipinoes are really really talented people in singing. Is it in their blood? Gosh thats some strong musical blood going. But is it really her… I mean I would love to believe its her. And for what it’s worth, while Beyonce got dissed by some on her movie Dreamgirls, I think “Listen” is truly one of her best best best songs. It’s really beautiful and never fails to give me goosebumps. Oi!! You recording labels out there. Virgin Music, Hollywood Records, EMI… whatever. Go and head hunt this girl. There’s such potential for her!
