Vicci Martinez - Afraid to sleep

The finalist of "The Voice" 2011, Vicci Martinez sang on tuesday night an original song, named Afraid to sleep. For me it was the best original among the other 3 songs. Even thow I kind of wanted Dia Frampton to win the show ( I'm a big fan of Meg&Dia - song Monster rooooks!!!), this is the song that remained in my head after the show.
What do you think?

Mirror in the sky, what is love?

Au trecut aproape patru luni din 2011 si pana acum se pare a fi un an bun.
Stau si ma uit la Glee (da, recunosc ma uit si la asa ceva, ...doar e cu muzica :D). Sunt unele cantece pe care nu am auzit niciodata, dar care cu mare curaj isi fac loc in playlistul meu pentru cantece de suflet. Este cazul si urmatorului cantec, Landslide.
Ma aflu intr-un moment de tranzitie din viata mea... si mi-e frica pentru ca nu mai am varsta la care joaca sa primeze.
Anyway, se pare ca mai nou foarte greu ma pot aduna sa postez ceva aici. Toata lumea (inclusiv subsemnatul) foloseste la greu facebook, twitter si se pare ca incet incet blogul pare sa piarda teren.
Cand eram in anii liceului si chiar si primii ani de facultate iubeam acest "sport". Eram mult prea introvertit ca sa imi pot permite luxul de a trai cu adeavrat in viata reala. Imi puneam un cantec pe repeat sau mare era minunea sa mearga mai multe piese in timpul starii de creatie pentru ca imi doream o anumita stare. Azi, acum, ascult Landslide. Sunt nostalgic, dar e o melodie genial de... constientizare a sentimentelor.

Impress Me (Not!)

I just listened (and watched the video) today such a great song from the Grammy Award winning album - Brothers - signed by The Black Keys. You got to love them :))
Impress Me with being you... TIGHTEN UP!
Here it is. Enjoy!

Never take all for granted

Sometimes words just don't say enough what I'm feeling.

Sometimes is better to say it

There are times when all I want is to dream with my eyes shut, chillin' to the sound of some sweet music. This night I've chosen a perfect song. Yes, hope you'll like it. 

Mario Biondi "This Is What You Are"

Eurovision 2011 Romania's winner (choice)

As many know, the Romanian (National) Final of Eurovision was held the night between years. I personally got to watch live (ha, form tv broadcast) only 4 performances. After that, I saw them all, but glad to have had time only for those four. I have to say from the start that my hopes were not that high. Before the live show, my mind was set for Claudia, Leticia or (don't shoot me) Mihai Alexandru. Claudia Pavel was such a disappointment for me as she was my favourite. It seemed like she was in a competition with the female backing-vocal(sorry for not knowing her name), named "who sings louder" and sometimes out of tune. Leticia was decent but far from the studio version. Mihai Alexandru (now you can shoot me) ... what was I thinking? A big NO!
I won't say anyting for the other contestants because they were not my favourites, except of course for the winner.

Hotel FM. The second time in the finals seemed to have brought them luck (with the song Change). 
The first time I heard the song I said to myself - "nice song, but what's with the chorus?, it spoiles everything". And for me it sounded like a song from the 80's, definitely not one for 2011. I have to admit (like Sanda Ladosi loool) they had a very decent performance and good vocals. After about 5 times hearing their song, it kind of got to me. They deserved to win for what they presented on the New Years Eve.
I think we will qualify to the finals, but still, in my mind even to this day, something is not quite right. Mabe because it sounds too old-fashioned and something I've heard before. For example (not plagiarism), the beat from "Pictures of Me"- Elliot Smith, a song from 1997 from the album Either/Or. Listen to both carefully. What do you say/think? Let me know your thoughts about our representatives.

Tinie Tempah feat. Eric Turner - Written In The Stars

I don't know about you guys but I swear I've been searching this song for so long and every time I searched Enrique Iglesias - Written in the stars... and every time failed at getting the answer that I wanted. A few minutes ago I finally found the real singers. My bad, but Eric's voice is so similar to Enrique's. Anyway, this is just a great song to jam along. It's so much energy in here that my batteries are charging lol :D
“Written In The Stars” is the third single from UK rapper Tinie Tempah‘s debut studio album Disc-Overy released on October 4th 2010. The music video and track both feature Eric Turner.

Rihanna Feat. Drake - What's My Name? [ 2011 Dance version by Jay Velar]

I've liked the "oh na-na song" sience it was released but I couldn't find a mix that I could better dance on it. Well relax, the search is over. Dj Jay Velar did the work that I waited. So here it is his dance version of Rihanna's What's my name?
Give a like and comment if you like it.
Oh Na-Na ... WHAT'S MY NAME? :D

My favourite song right now! Cat & Mouse FTW!!!

A couple of months ago I heared a song that stuck to my head a few days but for some reason I forgot about it. Last night I heared it again and ohhh sweet sound to my ears. Made me jam along instantly :D
I'm sure you'll like it. The song  (Cat & Mouse) is performed by the american duo Nikki & Rich. I really hope they will release the music video for this song. For some reason the release is held behind. Mabe some marketing strategy... Untill then, enjoy the music and feel free to dance to the beat :D I will =)) :P
