Hello :)

I wanted to present here some contemporary Asian (Chineese) pop but I only found some very awful pieces of music :(.

The best what I found is music done by south-Korean group Shingwa.

Well... what do you think about it?
I think it is quite OK.
The song about kung-fu fighting. We all know what is kung-fu, don't we?

LadyMacbeth · Post by **LadyMacbeth** » Thu May 03, 2007 11:38 am

Hello :)

New day - new song. Straight from India like I wrote yesterday. Well... I found plenty of different India songs on-line. Many videos are colourful, full of cultural elements. The same with melodies and instruments (any or almost any bass guitars I am afraid).

OK. The song I want to put here today is about... hate.
YES - HATE :(. Well... to justify my option I have to write it is THE ONLY video I found that has some words in English at all! What a pity that someone sings about hating Mallika or maybe Mallica hates someone but how can I help it...

And here is a proper link:
Mallica I hate you

OK. I must only add people in this pop video don't look typically Hindu at all! On the other side I would ask them at once to represent Poland during comming Eurovision singing contest. Really!
The song is nice and they could wear nice Indian costumes... unlike hellish masks Lordi wore last year (and hellish tunes of that band)... what do you think about it? Noone could guess they all come from India! Everyone sings in English during Eurovision!

what do you think about my ideas?

Hello dear Readers of this sometimes more and sometimes less interesting plot... :)
Well... I have to write that one net friend of mine (from India) sent me some ...Indian musical possibilities to hear but hmmm... I think "Mallica I hate you" is still my number one.
Nethertheless I will present you new options soon :)

But in the meantime I want to write that Nelly Furtado still rocks as deals total amount of records sold lately but... but they say new album of Avril Lavigne will be first everywhere soon. I must write I ...am scared (YES-SCARED) to watch her latest video... but the song sells so well they say... how can it be I am just wondering...?

Well...probably I am getting older and older... and she doesn't get older at all! Maybe it is a point? Who knows?
Avril is still 17 at her latest video... young and fresh... that's why she rocks again?

Probably that's the only reasonable answer...

In the meantime some Nelly back... :
Timbaland, Timberlake & Furtado Give it right to me

And something COMPLETELY different :)
Always great and calming music of Luis Armstrong. So some lines about "Wonderful world" :)

Hello all music fans :)

New day new songs... well... as we all can see music has many faces. Actually sometimes seems to me videos are more important than tune and melody. Fast, jumping cars, beautiful girls, rich and handsome (?!?) guys... but still there are people who create music that cannot be categorised only as a commercial junk :( And we all love them for it !

Well.. Eurovision semi-final is past us. Poland lost again. That was our song for this event. For me - total rubbish :(

The jet set time to party

Well...I would choose "Mallica I hate you" instead - no doubt.

Another problem of mine today (if I can call it a problem) are people who try to change classical music into something more modern. Do they do it because they really think it works or they do it only in order to earn more money?
What is your opinion?

At this moment I am listening such a video. What do you think about it?

Do you like it?

Well... and now some more sounds produced by Vangelis. They are about the great event known as discovering America (that in fact had been discovered many thousand years before Columbus). No cars were then - so only ships on this video! :(

LadyMacbeth · Post by **LadyMacbeth** » Sat May 12, 2007 10:25 am

Hi everyone today :)

Maria Mena... hmmm... well, I have seen one her video on MTV but it was some time ago.

Maria Mena you are the only one

I think this video and song are good but I generally I would recommend her not to sing so many songs about love. Why? I think she hasn't got a voice good enough to sing about love. Don't know why but somehow it seems to me that songs about love are popular mostly when performers have really, really good voices (except of good melody).

Hmmm... so she looks well, she is young enough (born in 1986). Perhaps she should sound more optimistic and change lyrics a bit. That's all. Of course probably then she wouldn't be herself but... hmmm... some people will make a devil an angel to earn some more money or gain some fame... all in all good luck! :)

I was about to ask you for an example of someone who has a good enough voice to sing about love, then I saw this post. Celine Dion has a voice like a dentists drill. She "oversings" every song, so much like Anastasia, Whitney, Mariah and so on. What I like about singers like Maria Mena, Beth Orton, Kate Bush, Natalie Merchant, Julia Fordham, Katie Melua and so on is that they are about their songs and not all about ther "status". How much would you have to pay to see Celine in concert? You can be sure you are paying way over the top compared to what you would be asked to pay to see for example, Maria Mena.
Music should be about sings.. not singers.... of course I know it isnt like this.

LadyMacbeth · Post by **LadyMacbeth** » Sat May 12, 2007 1:31 pm

Well, well, welll dear Butler. You are aggresive like an attacking shark or alligator or whom!

Maybe you are right (to some level) but it is your opinion and what is opinion of shops selling music? Would you rather sell Natalie Merchant or Julia Fordham than Celine Dion or Mariah Carey?

Well... if you had a shop with bit less popular artists... as deals Katie Melua the most I like her "bicycle song". Really. It is very tuneful and charming. Even a video is similar to Maria's Mena. I am even starting to wonder who was first?

Don't think I want to offend your musical taste. No. I think it is first class but we must all remember business is business... and is better weight what pays and what not before you will lose everything :(

Probably that's why "Loose" rocks :)

Who sings better?
First Celine:
Celine Dion a new day has come

Then Maria:
Maria Mena just hold me

Apart from videos think - how would sound Mena's song performed by Celine Dion...

Haha - and now something for all who realy love music (they must because they can be definitely discouraged by this little bit crazy Silesian traditional song about... one Silesian soup called "wodzionka" = watery soup....

Im sorry if you think I was being agressive, I am not that type of person, i just despise these "celeb" singers. Of course its just my opinion, I feel very strongly about music so if you felt offended I am sorry.
As for selling music, it would be a disaster for me to have a music shop,I would be out of business so fast as I woudnt have the heart to sell rubbish to people

Not for me..I am a fan of music, if any artist makes money or not is of no concern to me, I want the music, its life football, most fans dont care about bank balances, we want trophies.

Hello Butler and everyone else:)

Well.. I don't have any shop with music now and I am not planning to set up anything like that. Probably I would also go bankrupt soon cause I would sell folk music the best. And it is not so popular today... but isn't folk great?

To soothe bit "hot" situation here I would like to put benath some "high" Silesian folk (of course "Wodzionka" song is bit stupid but we also have many other tuneful and great melodies) - so the melody below comes from Sielsian mountains - Beskidy. It is very dramatic and difficult music but I like it very much :)

Silesian "high" folk

Of course the music in the video is also bit "modernized" but it sounds really interesting, I think.

So some Silesia again... :)
I hope you will like it and soon I will send you more of it :)

LadyMacbeth · Post by **LadyMacbeth** » Sun May 13, 2007 3:28 pm

Hello hello today :)

Hmmm... Eurovision 2007 is over. Serbia won. My conclusions - well... they had song bit similar to Polish in year 1992. That year Poland won the higest place in Eurovision contest - second place. It was our debut and we were second then with our song. Polish singer was sent there who was able to sing and she sang in Polish. Since that - any successes :(

Well... everyone in Poland says that Eurovision contest is very political, that Balcans support one another and noone likes Poland but I think our song was a total rubbish :(. Really :(.

If we had there a song from 1992 back, it would take high place back (my opinion). Cause the song was good and the singer sang well.

Well... my idea is to send there next year something like the song beneath. It is Polish moutaineous folk in contemporary version.
The band that performs it was a huge success here some years ago but isn't alive any longer or a least they are not as visible as they used to be (main performer delivered a child, married and qurreled with the rest of the band as far as I know)). They are called Brathanki. The song is about love - I mean the girl sings that she can give to her lovely boyfriend everything but sex that she can give after wedding.
I think the song is very tuneful and funny.

How do you think?

Brathanki siebie dam po slubie

Do you like the song?

Soon -more :)

That piece of Brathanki (The Brothers) music isn't the worst too!

LadyMacbeth · Post by **LadyMacbeth** » Sun May 13, 2007 5:23 pm

Well... some additions more.
1. as deals the title of the song above - Lublin is Polish city in the east.
2. here is a winner of Eurovision 2007:
Molitva - Serafovic
3. Here is number two - Ukrainian song (for me the best only lyrics very stupid)
Verka Serdyuchka - Dancing
4. and here is Polish number 2 from 1994 (long and very long ago)
Górniak To nie ja
The singer sings that she isn't blame of Adam and Eve first sin.

Well... besides this year Russia was third (as I remember) and Ireland ...last (what a shame!).
They played folk but this folk was so strange that I was stunned in front of TV...

See you soon :)

LadyMacbeth · Post by **LadyMacbeth** » Sun May 13, 2007 6:36 pm

Hello Butler and everyone else... well, hmmm... maybe in fact Irish song wasn't as bad as the results show but Irish performer should have sung better! Really!
In the video below the song has melody but yesterday it seemed to me the song had neither melody nor lyrics.
I don't know

This song really sounded...strange.
Besides I expected the band would acclerate at the end of the song - you know - many folk songs are firstly slow and then faster and faster. But no. The same slow rhythm till the very end. For me it sounded really strange and the performer's voice is rather average. ...

Dervish "They Can't Stop The Spring"

Of course I know Irish songs used to win - I remember once Ireland won two times running or something like that! Let's hope next year will be better both for Poland and Ireland :)

See you soon :)

LadyMacbeth · Post by **LadyMacbeth** » Sun May 13, 2007 6:45 pm

Hmmm... after some thought more I have come to conclusion that in case of Ireland the performer caused a diseaster. Really. Musicians played faster and sounded more cheerful at the end but she didn't

Maybe that was a reason why they ended up at last stage?

Your ideas?

I am curious

We won it 3 times in a row.. and it was a problem as hosting the Eurovision is very expensive. We didnt want to keep winning it.
As for next year..well I didnt see where Poland finished but we will not be in next years as we didnt finish high enough to qualify. I am not really bothered anyway. :P

And last PS. at last - here is Great Britain during Eurovision 2007. I think Brits are very practical and decided to choose a commercial of airlines all over the world as their emblem. What is particularly interesting they don't forget about their darest cousins called US even during Eurovision Song Contest and take some of their habits (like flying the flags ) as their own...

Probably thus they have lost their double game this year...

Hi on Monday :)
1. Well... I will try to make some more analysis of Eurovision contests soon. Though I don't know what for

Some of them are really hopeless. How many times Spain won?
That's Spanish song this year:
Nash - I Love You Mi Vida

2. In my post above I wrote darest cousins instead of dearest cousins - another typing error of mine :(

3. And here is a song for today:

Tanita Tikaram -Twist In My Sobriety

Interesting - which place would win Tanita during Eurovision? Probably she would lose. Too sad, too slow and her voice isn't to skilled too. But some years ago she sold quite a big amount of records as I far as remember...and truly speaking that matters

Nice day :)
