AOTW [19] : Sam Tsui
Disappeared for quite some time since it was my final papers, finally…Goodbye Year 3 Term 1 !
Starting things off again with Artiste of the Week (AOTW)- Featuring Sam Tsui !
Actually I was looking for Glee songs on youtube and came across his cover of “Don’t Stop Believing”
Really enjoyed it and I think he has a great voice (even though the video was alil creepy at first – clones attack ! haha)
I thought it was a great cover and check out Sam’s myspace for other covers !
Don't Stop Believing
Just a small town girl
livin' in a lonely world
She took the midnight train goin' anywhere
Just a city boy, born and raised in South Detroit
He took the midnight train goin' anywhere
A singer in a smoky room
The smell of wine and cheap perfume
For a smile they can share the night
It goes on and on and on and on
Strangers waiting
Up and down the boulevard
Their shadows searching in the nights
Streetlights, people
Living just to find emotion
Hiding somewhere in the nights
Working hard to get my fill,
Everybody wants a thrill
Payin' anything to roll the dice
Just one more time
Some will win, some will lose
Some are born to sing the blues
And now the movie never ends
It goes on and on and on and on
Don't stop believin
Hold on to that feelin'
Streetlight, people
Don't stop!
Local Talent ? We Want You !
I’m currently doing a show call “Out of Order” with my co-host Rachel on SMU Campus Radio which is aired every Friday 7-8pm (Sadly, I think VPN is required to tune in to us..unless someone wants to sponsor for our broadcast license ? haha)
Basically we have 4 main segments in the show whereby we feature what’s happening or cool events in Singapore that students can check out over the weekend, geeky gadgets or sites to browse through, random facts and jokes and of course the main highlight is our Myspace artiste of the week.
Similarly to what I’ve been doing on my blog, we feature a local/myspace artiste each week. I’ve been doing interviews for the past 3 radio shows and this term will not be any different !In fact, we’re kicking things off with the Pervy Boy soon !
So if you know of any (or if you are !) local talent/artiste…do drop me a msg ! Or email to ingridmak [at] gmail [dot] com !
AOTW [2] : Johnta Austin
The week has been rather busy for me, sorry about the delay….here’s the second artiste of the week !
I came across the song some weeks ago while surfing youtube. I’m not a huge fan of R&B but I found the lyrics really sweet, no matter how cheesy it is.
So I went to google on Johnta Austin and found that he’s actually a four-time Grammy Award-winning upcoming artist ! Not only that, he was also the co-writer of Mariah Carey’s “We Belong Together” as well as Mary J Blige’s “Be Without You” ! Talented artist/writer I must agree, at least I could feel the emotions in his songs/lyrics.
This gotta be one of my recent favourite on my playlist. Really sweet song =) Enjoy !
Johnta Austin – This Love
here we are, you and me
love is sealed can’t you see
just for us, no one else
at least that’s the way it feels
and i’m grateful to be in your arms this evening
i was unsure, but now you got me believing
that time is what you make of it
and love comes first
and i’ve waited for so long just to say these words
i want this life, i want this love
i want this kiss, i want this hug
i want this time, i want this night
i want you here by my side
i want every little thing that makes my heart sing
and everything you try just to make it right
if i’m being honest baby you got all that i need
it’s true you got a hold on me
there’s no other place that i would rather be right now
and the look on my face is what happiness is all about
feelings come, feelings go
but what we have lasts forever
there’s a lot that i don’t know
but i know when we’re together
that time is what we make of it
and love comes first
and i’ve waited for so long just to say these words
i want this life, i want this love
i want this kiss, i want this hug
i want this time, i want this night
i want you here by my side
i want every little thing that makes my heart sing
and everything you try just to make it right
if i’m being honest baby you got all that i need
it’s true you got a hold on me
i’ll be around no matter what my baby
and if i let you down i’ll pick you up my baby
i wanna be your everything
and if you ever doubt my baby
then let this kiss be your evident
that this was me
i want this life, i want this love
i want this kiss, i want this hug
i want this time, i want this night
i want you here by my side
i want every little thing that makes my heart sing
and everything you try just to make it right
if i’m being honest baby you got all that i need
it’s true you got a hold on me
i want this life, i want this love
i want this kiss, i want this hug
i want this time, i want this night
i want you here by my side
i want every little thing that makes my heart sing
and everything you try just to make it right
if i’m being honest baby you got all that i need
it’s true you got a hold on me
