The Voice, Knockout Round 2: Luke Edgemon - "Teenage Dream"

I’m not a fan of the original version of “Teenage Dream”. But, Luke made me like it. A LOT.

His part starts around 1:45.

Team Usher: C vs. Vito. And Blake-Adam bromance. LOL

I'm not a huge fan of Usher's. But, I've always liked his voice, even from when he was little.

And Blake and Adam's bickering... Hahahaha! Blake's so crazy.

The Voice - Knockout Rounds (Day 1)

Team Adam: Amy has a powerhouse voice, but she does have pitch problems. I could totally relate since I belt out songs, too, it’s hard to control pitch when you’re so used to it. I guess that’s what my voice professor had been warning me about from the beginning. Sigh.

After-work selfies. Bored. LOL

Though the fig tree should not blossom, nor fruit be on the vines, the produce of the olive fail and the fields yield no food, the flock be cut off from the fold and there be no herd in the stalls, yet I will rejoice in the Lord; I will take joy in the God of my salvation. (Habakkuk 3:17, 18 ESV)

Singers. I love singers. Singers who SAAAIIINNNGGG. From the gut, smack-you-over-the-head, soulful, feelings, type of singers. Ugh.

My mom told me that my first language was English. I spoke it until I was about 5. Then, I started school, so I spoke both English and Tagalog. Haha!

When I have kids, I want to do the same, and I want them to have either a British, Scottish or an Australian accent. Identity crises - oh, it's gonna happen. LOL

As I watch the Knicks vs. Celtics game, I keep thinking that Garnett, Pierce, even Duncan & Kobe are already too old to play. Then, I realize, they are around my age. Reality bloody bites. LOL

Not sure what to wear for the 50th wedding anniversary ceremony at church later on. I'll go with black & gold, I suppose.

Random thought vomit, re: music/musicians

Seeing all these so-called “musicians” or “singers” getting involved in mindless shenanigans, getting themselves in trouble, doing whatever or whoever the heck they’re doing, it makes me sad for music in general. Makes me appreciate my real musician/artist friends, who pay their dues, playing in cafes, bars, clubs, hole-in-the-walls, writing their own music and diligently continuing to do so, not thinking about what it will get them (money, fame, sex, drugs), but genuinely going out there and just sharing their gift of music to the world. I see them, every night, dragging their own gear on stage, playing their own instruments, singing their own songs that they’ve written – songs that have substance, by the way and not the mindless drivel of getting high, wasted or chasing tail – musicians writing from their heart, and wanting to share it with the world. It’s a shame that these TALENTED people have fallen through the cracks because of an industry that only thinks about making cash, and not really thinking about fostering and showing off TRUE TALENT.

Don’t get me wrong, there are those out in the mainstream, adored by millions/billions of people, enjoying the fame and fortune, who are truly talented and take their craft seriously and are being true artists. Unfortunately, there are only so few of them. The people that gain attention are those who are half as talented (or have none whatsoever), and are in the headlines almost every single day, not for their music, but more for their reckless actions and irresponsibility. Their music, equally as reckless and with little-to-no substance at all. One of the many reasons why I don’t listen to the radio anymore. I seek out undiscovered talent, who have something to say other than, again, getting high, getting wasted, making paper, or chasing tail.

I really want to move back to Toronto this year. ANYTIME this year. Please, Lord.

Don’t you realize that your body is the temple of the Holy Spirit, who lives in you and was given to you by God? You do not belong to yourself, for God bought you with a high price. So you must honor God with your body. (1 Corinthians 6:19, 20 NLT)

Sounds: Diligence by Choice37

Choice 37 is a Korean-American producer, and is currently working with YG Entertainment in Seoul.

This album is pretty fly. I love this kinda stuff - jazz fused with hip-hop. Reminds me of Digable Planets, Mos Def or Common. The tracks are pretty ill.
