Gut-wrenching is right Hg. Just when I start to think…why I’m so obsessed about David having a music career, I’m reminded by a performance of how David’s voice is just magical.
Gut wrenching, heart wrenching, a song of his reality perhaps at the time? His feelings are powerful and well portrayed in the singing of some songs. I began to understand David a bit more with this actual performance.
peter, yes new songs…as much as I love David’s covers, he’s best at it, but in order for his career as a true artist to flourish he needs his own music and his unique sound.
me too, grammyj, I’m so very anxious to hear the original music on BEGIN. Hoping that the songs will stand out in the album, or at least be as strong as the covered songs. I know that the FA LA LA song for the MKOC tour was for the tour, I guess, but really though the song was ok, but, hoping it’s not the direction he will be going with his music. We shall see soon, exciting!
Did Sunny choreograph that? Annie and Sunny could best friends. Maybe Annie has an angel collection too. I hope we never see David wearing angel wings.
Shirtless, yes! Angel wings, no. I’m sure we won’t see either one.
Here is the video link to You Are Not Alone with the wings. I think the official video has Lisa Marie Presley in it instead of MJ with wings. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=gFCtjJxM7IY
A former Canadian Idol contestant is having a huge hit with “Call Me Maybe”:
I love Annie too. I actually like the song “Call Me Maybe” as it is a very catchy pop song. It is good to see someone that was a contestant on Canadian Idol in 2007 have some success. However, Carly Rae did have the right “connections” to produce a major pop hit. Carly Rae Jepsen signed to Schoolboy Records, the label run by Justin Bieber’s manager, Scooter Braun in 2012. JB and Braun just continue to make the money like they need it. lol The question is as catchy as the song is would it have been such a huge pop song hit without their support of it? http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Carly_Rae_Jepsen
No, it would not have been a hit without a major label pushing it to radio. I hear lots of catchy tunes that sound like a hit that never make it to radio. It’s all about a big push by a major label and a whole lot of luck! David had that with “Crush” but not with his other songs. David is still having hits in the Philippines so he can continue on there when he returns. Even if the opportunities are in Asia, his popularity there can earn him some cash when he returns and fund records here. I’m sure he’s paying for the recording of BEGIN with money he earned in Asia or his MKOC tour.
JB could sing about putting out the garbage and it would become an instant hit, as you say it is all about who you know and the connections in the industry . all you have to do is listen [if you are brave enough} and ask yourself WHAT ARE THE THINKING?

We lost a special & talented Archie today but gained an Angel in @HanneDenmark. Our thoughts will be with her family & friends (Team Archie) 11 hours ago
…As his voice rang through the room, accompanied by only a keyboardist–and, at one point, a cappella – dozens of faces lit up with wonder. A singer was giving away music, and a news organization was hosting a concert… The Forbes building has been quite an eventful place of late. Had you walked into the lobby yesterday afternoon, for instance, you might have […]

He was totally immersed in that song. David is music.
I will never forget that performance by David. It was amazing.

I hope there will be new songs for him to sing.

I’m anxious to hear the original music on BEGIN. Ok, I’m also looking forward to hearing his covers too. By the way “Apologize” was a cover!
For anyone who would like to see pictures of David from Chile collected on one tumblr account here’s the link:

Annie Lennox at the Queen’s Diamond Jubilee Concert on June 4:
I love Annie Lennox.
Did Sunny choreograph that? Annie and Sunny could best friends. Maybe Annie has an angel collection too. I hope we never see David wearing angel wings.
fa la la la la.
lol
Speak for yourself! I’d love to see David shirtless with angel wings spring from his back (akin to Michael Jackson in his video You Are Not Alone).
I love MJ’s You Are Not Alone song and video.
Shirtless, yes! Angel wings, no. I’m sure we won’t see either one.
Here is the video link to You Are Not Alone with the wings. I think the official video has Lisa Marie Presley in it instead of MJ with wings. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=gFCtjJxM7IY

Amen! I guess I’m just too old to like most of what is on pop radio. The lyrics on some songs just make me cringe.
