The "Ken Lee" Idol

You may have heard of her singing her version of Mariah Carey's "Without You" or watched her famous "Ken Lee Bulgarian Idol" video on Youtube. But do you even know who the idol is behind that confident voice?

Her name is Valentina Hasan, 29 years old, married and is residing in the village of Zvezdelina, in the Kardzhali Province. She entered the second season of Bulgarian "Music Idol" this year. She sang Mariah Carey's "Without You" but using her own version of lyrics.

She now has a new video and a much improved lyrics(I think?). Check it out.

Story of the Year - Anthem of Our Dying Day

This weeks addition to my music vault...



Story of the Year - Anthem of Our Dying Day
The stars will cry
The blackest tears tonight
And this is the moment that I live for
I can smell the ocean air
Here I am
Pouring my heart onto these rooftops
Just a ghost
To the world
That's exactly
Exactly
What I need

Chorus:
From up here
The city lights burn like a thousand miles of fire
And I'm here to sing this anthem
Of our dying day

For a second I wish the tide
Would swallow every inch of this city
As you gasp for air tonight
I scream this song
Right in your face
If you were here
Swear I won't
Miss a beat
Cause I never
Never have before

Chorus

Of our dying day
Of our dying
Day
Of our dying
For a second I wish the tide
Would swallow every inch of this city
As you gasp for air tonight

Chorus X3
Our dying day
Our dying day

Hello Cruel World part 2

Now I know the reason why free is bad. My free hosting server was bugging me so I moved my blog again. Instead of looking for another host, I opted for Blogger.com since the service is good and as I saw with my fellow bloggers, its simple to use. Hopefully, this would be the last time this happens, just like I said before, it's reality that really bites.

Arnel Pineda and the New Journey

I have recently heard of the legendary band "Journey" and their acquisition of a new lead vocalist. The news only struck me when they said that their new member was a filipino. At first I was skeptical and said, "you got to be kidding me, a filipino took over the place of Steve Perry?". But the lead guitarist Neal Schon told the story of how desperate they were in finding a new vocalist and they tried their luck in looking online thru Youtube. So I plugged myself online and searched the web and I found this guy, Arnel Pineda. I watched his uploaded videos together with his local band the "Zoo" in Youtube, they did covers of Journey, and when he sang "Open Arms", I was amazed how his voice sounded like Steve's. Sounds too good to be true but check this video from their live concert in Chile last February 2008 with Arnel.


You can check out their website here.

Got nothing to do, so I burned my time playing Flash Element TD. You win by strategically placing towers around the map killing all monsters. But the main objective of the game is to survive and obtain a high score. After many tries, I managed to score 248k in my latest game. You can try it and build your own strategy to gain lots of points.

Frost Bites

I'm sitting here in my regular job, and I'm having chills. Not that I have ghostly neighbors, but it's the feeling of sitting below the Air Conditioning Unit and the cold breeze it blows hitting your whole body. It's only been an hour of just sitting in my seat and I could already feel my body shiver due to the cold temperature. And to think I'm wearing a thick jacket to protect myself, I'm still having this feeling that I'm gonna have frostbites at the end of the day. Just wish me luck I don't get one.

Matisyahu - King Without A Crown

Here's another one of my fave songs. A little bit of Reggae and Funk, the message also Rocks!


Matisyahu - King Without A Crown

You're all that I have and you're all that I need
Each and every day I pray to get to know you please
I want to be close to you, yes I'm so hungry
You're like water for my soul when it gets thirsty
Without you there's no me
You're the air that I breathe
Sometimes the world is dark and I just can't see
With these, demons surround all around to bring me down to negativity
But I believe, yes I believe, I said I believe
I'll stand on my own two feet
Won't be brought down on one knee
Fight with all of my might and get these demons to flee
Hashem's rays fire blaze burn bright and I believe
Hashem's rays fire blaze burn bright and I believe
Out of darkness comes light, twilight unto the heights
Crown Heights burnin' up all through till twilight
Said thank you to my God, now I finally got it right
And I'll fight with all of my heart, and all a' my soul, and all a' my might

[Chorus:]
What's this feeling?
My love will rip a hole in the ceiling
I give myself to you from the essence of my being and I
Sing to my god, songs of love and healing
I want Moshiach now, time we start revealing
What's this feeling?
My love will rip a hole in the ceiling
I give myself to you from the essence of my being and I
Sing to my god, songs of love and healing
I want Moshiach now

Strippin? away the layers and reveal your soul
Got to give yourself up and then you become whole
You're a slave to yourself and you don't even know
You want to live the fast life but your brain moves slow
If you're trying to stay high, bound to stay low
You want God but you can't deflate your ego
If you're already there then there's nowhere to go
If you're cup's already full then its bound to overflow
If you're drowning in the water's and you can't stay afloat
Ask Hashem for mercy, and he'll throw you a rope
You're looking for help from God you say he couldn't be found
Searching up to the sky and looking beneath the ground
Like a King without his Crown
You keep fallin' down
You really want to live but can't get rid of your frown
Tried to reach unto the heights and wound bound down on the ground
Given up your pride and the you heard a sound
Out of night comes day and out of day comes light
Nullified to the One like sunlight in a ray,
Makin' room for his love and a fire gone blaze
Makin' room for his love and a fire gone blaze

[Chorus:]
What's this feeling?
My love will rip a hole in the ceiling
I give myself to you from the essence of my being and I
Sing to my god, songs of love and healing
I want Moshiach now, time we start revealing
What's this feeling?
My love will rip a hole in the ceiling
I give myself to you from the essence of my being and I
Sing to my god, songs of love and healing
I want Moshiach now

See I lift up my eyes where my help come from
And I seen it circling around from the mountain
Thunder!
You feel it in your chest
You keep my mind at ease and my soul at rest
You're not vexed
Look to the sky where my help come from
Seen it circling around from the mountain
Thunder!
You feel it in your chest
You keep my mind at ease and my soul at rest
You're not vexed
