The Virtual Choir. Uh, Wow?

"The Virtual Choir project began as a simple experiment in social media, but it seems to have grown into something much bigger than I ever dreamed possible. The latest video has gone ‘viral’, and the video looks like it’s well on its way to 700,000 views, maybe more."  

- Composer, Eric Whitacre

All of the singers uploaded videos of themselves singing different parts of the song to YouTube, following the lead of composer and conductor Eric Whitacre.

Whitney Houston back at it.

Even with a scratchy voice, she still kicks ass.  :)

As I lay me down
Heaven hear me now
Im lost without a cause
After giving it my all

Winter storms have come
And darkened my sun
After all that I've been through
Who on earth can I turn to

I look to you
I look to you

After all my strength is gone
In you I can be strong

I look to you
I look to you

Yeah

And when melodies are gone
In you I hear a song

I look to you

After losing my breath
There's no more fighting left
Sinking to rise no more
Searching for that open door

And every road that I've taken
Lead to my regret
And I don't know if Im gonna make it
Nothing to do but lift my head

I look to you
I look to you

Yeah

And when all my strength is gone
In you I can be strong

I look to you
I look to you

Oh yeah

And when melodies are gone
In you I hear a song

I look to you


(my levee's have broken, my walls have come)

Coming down on me

(crumbling down on me)

All the rain is falling

(the rain is falling, defeat is calling)

Set me free

(i need you to set me free)

Take me far away from the battle
I need you
Shine on me

I look to you
I look to you

After all my strength has gone
in you I can be strong

I look to you
I look to you

and when melodies are gone
In you I hear a song

I look to you

yeah

I look to you
oooooooh
I look to you

Headed out.

Headed here tonight:

NKOTB. :x

Half of my peer group saw NKOTB over the weekend in Boston.

I was like, "WTF?"   So, I am here listening to the new tunes.  Not. half. bad.  I was a Jordan Knight Fan in elementary school.  Mr. MM saw them in concert back then.  He just shakes his head at this video.  Heh heh.

You got The RIGHT STUFF, baby.

OMGZ MILEY CYRUS!

So not our video, but, she was RIGHT THERE, sort of. This was part of Miss C's birthday.

(It makes me twitch.)

Vince Gill is not Eminem.

I'm not a music reviewer, so I don't really have much to say regarding concerts.  (I can, however tell you about protein bars and things like that.)  I just like music.  I am not very picky about genres.  And to tell you something very honestly?  I used to not even 'like' country music, (I know, right?)  Now, it's up there in my faves, right next to HARD CORE GANGSTA RAP.  /sarcasm

Although, I have to admit to you (and this is so not at all related, but I have had too much coffee) on the way to the concert last night, an old school Eminem song came on in the car.  Here I am, swapping from CAT-COUNTRY, 98.1, the big country station up here in Boston, to a Pop station, because on the Cape, nothing. comes. in, and I hear Emimem.  I KNEW EVERY FREAKING WORD OF THIS SONG. 

(Singing it right now.  Are you?)

Topic CHANGE!

Here's the thing - I do not like big crowds - unless everyone is having fun, but not the really pukey drunk kind of fun, I like the middle of the road type of fun.  I don't think I could handle an all-day Country-Fest, even if I thought I wanted to go.  I would probably die.  But, I could, take a couple hours of it, and two beers.  That's it.

Last night, even if I wanted to get up and BOOGIE to What The Cowgirls Do, I would have been slapped.  We were surrounded by half of the The Northeast's Nursing Home, and I Am Not Kidding About That, and I am trying hard not to joke.  I love me some white hairs, and I am fully aware of the fact that I am well on my own way to dementia, but... when did we get so, old?

*sigh*

I love Vince Gill.  I could listen to him tell stories, sing, and tell me how to cook mac and cheese.  It's all good.  And, even though I got in trouble (everybody did, including a woman near me that swore that she "WASN'T TAKING ANY PICTURES WITH A FLASH!!! while she held up a hugantic Nikon) for taking photos of him that I just posted to the interwebs, it was a fun take.  (And, he was in pain, the man is having surgery this week for a bum knee, he was struggling.)

PS.  The video will be up in a minute, it keeps timing out on YouTube.  Three times now.  Now, I am singing Eminem MASHED UP with VINCE GILL!  WOW.

Here is my photo video:

Chris Isaak at South Shore Music Circus

We saw Chris Isaak at The South Shore Music Circus last night.  What a fun dude he is. 

Watch my slideshow.

And, then, what I did this morning.

Hey who's that?  LOL?  After that, we got in line to get photos/sigs with Chris and there were No Photos!  Don't YOU TAKE NO PHOTOS. YOU THERE WITH THE CAMERA!  (They weren't talking to me.)  Heh.

Oh.

Opening for Chris Isaak and his band was James Hunter, who I did not get any photos of because he came on first and I was terrified of the camera security, but WOW, no, WOW. Try not to dance! No, I DARE YOU!

Give it to me.

What song is stuck in YOUR head? Thanks to MySpace - it's this:
