YouTube Friday: Where I Stood

Ann was raised in a small town in Arizona. There she learned to love to sing and play the piano. While talking with her, it was evident how much she loves to perform and sing for others. She blames her parents jokingly that they got her into this. To Ann, it’s not about the applause she receives at the end of the show, but its goes way deeper than that. She loves performing and stretching herself to reach and go places she has never gone before. Even with Ann’s busy schedule, she sat down with me one on one to answer a few questions about her career so far.

AMezNewz: So, how long have you been playing the Piano?

Ann: I had six months of lessons when I was eleven, and after that I taught myself.

AMezNewz: When did you first play the Piano in front of an audience?

Ann: When I was thirteen. It was such a disaster! I froze up and my fingers wouldn’t do what I wanted them to. It took me a while to try it again and to have the courage to perform in front of an audience.

AMezNewz: When did you start singing?

Ann: Oh gosh, before I can really recall. I did talent shows with my sister, and parents, as well as family gatherings.

AMezNewz: You’ve been in quite a few musicals—which was your favorite so far to perform in?

Ann: Yes. I’ve been in State Fair, Guys and Dolls, Seven Brides For Seven Brothers, 1940’s Radio Hour, Hairspray, and The Scarlet Pimpernel—which will be start in the summer. As for my favorite I’d have to say Guys and Dolls. I really love the music in that musical.

AMezNewz: You’ve done so many fun shows, why did you decide to enter a local American Idol competition, which you won by the way?

Ann: Its fun! I also wanted to stretch myself to see if I could sing and play at the same time. And honestly, it's amazing what you can do if you stick your neck out there, practice, prepare and pray.

If you have never seen Ann in one of her plays, you really should! She has a quiet way of demanding your attention, but you gladly give it to her. She takes command on the stage, and leaves you wanting to see more. Stay tuned for details on her next play The Scarlet Pimpernel. Who knows, maybe we’ll have a little contest and give out tickets?

Check out Ann's winning performance below.

YouTube Friday: Hold It Against Me, Brittney Spears Cover

So, I've posted this guy in the past, but I just had to do it again. Two days after this video was posted they had over 1 million views, and now it has well over 4 million views! HOLLY COW! I loved the cover to Brittnay's newest song, and I know you will too.

I found out some of his songs are on amazon and itunes. This song  is only on itunes right now, but I'm sure it will be on amazon soon. Let me know what you all think. I think its better than Brittany's version. Her's is more pop... and this is a bit more slow and less airy sounding.

This post is for my good friend Linzi. She has requested this post. If you would like to request a topic, leave me a comment or an email and I will do my best to get it on the blog.

On The Rocks was started in 1999 by Leo da Silva and Peter Hollens at the University of Oregon. They perform every Friday, and compete in the West Coast A Cappella Showcase, every year.

This year one the TV Show Sing Off , features acapella groups, hosted by Nick Lachey and judged by Ben Folds, Shawn Stockman, and Nicole Scherzinger. The show was in their second season, and I never even heard about the show until some of my friends mentioned it to me. The show was only on for a few weeks, but for those who watched it, they fell in love with harmony and just pure raw talent.

On the show they sang, Bad Romance (Lady Gaga) Which they released their video on YouTube and has over 7.5 million views, Life Your Life (TI and Rihanna), Pour Some Sugar On Me (Def Leappard & Kyrie Mr. Mister) and Elton John Medley.

Although, On The Rocks didn't win the contest, their melody has change some lives forever.

YouTube Friday: Don't You Want To Stay

This last weekend I watched Country Song. I really LOVED the music in the movie. It was SO good. I love country music, but I go in spurts of listening to Country or Pop. Lately, I've been in POP mode, and after watching Country Strong, I decided I'd try listening to a little more Country. Last night as I was driving home from a friends house, and this song came on the radio. It features Kelly Clarkson singing with Jason Aldean. I instantly fell in love with this song, and you might too.

Here is their live performance below that I found on YouTube. AND if you like the song enough, I have a link below for Amazon.

Enjoy!

Mark Tompkins: He makes all the sounds with his mouth. Pretty Cool.

Then He taught the Morning Show how to do it, and they released this video. Kind of funny cause you can tell some of them can't really sing, but its fun to watch.


This one I just happened to find, and I really enjoyed his version of Dynamite. He plays the instruments himself and sings. Still a lot of talent going on here.
