Hello hello, I forgot to post a music pick yesterday, I was fully occupied (watching movies, eating, sleeping); anyways I’ve selected six old songs this week and am going to introduce one new singer. Incase if you haven’t heard/are wondering what this post is about, you can check an introductory post last week which explains about this.

This week songs are especially dedicated to self-proclaimed “Ko Ko” out there. LOL nah…I just found some of our old songs with “Ko Ko” in it so compiled it together here.

Phwe – Icy7ven
I’ve introduced her in last week post. This week she sang the following two songs. I think “Tate Ta Kho A Chit” is from “Mu Paing Chit Thu” movie with Kyaw Thu and May Than Nu. Very old one, if I remember it right. It’s a nice movie though I forgot the whole story, I guess the song was sang when Kyaw Thu was away and May Than Nu got sick…or something like that.

The 2nd song is from May Kha Lar’s album sang by Yu Za Na. I think Phwe is better than Yu Za Na in vocal. I don’t like Yu Za Na voice much cos’ it’s kinda like throaty and flat. But she knows how to sing so it’s good for her.

NWP
This guy is my OLD school friend. He’s a shy one; young, good looking, smart (doing his Masters), kind, patient (that’s what he said, but I don’t think so), single (all the ladies out there, if you’re interested, just give a buzz lol) and he sings quite well too. There you go man; I’m saying all good things about you so you owe me a good lunch. Bite sar nay tal kwa!

Both songs are nice. I think “Kyin Nar Lo Chit Pa Ya Say” is originally sung by Doe Lone. NWP sang it quite differently in terms of ah…how to say…breaking parts and the tune. But his version is also good and easy listening. I don’t know who sang “Myat Lone Chin Sakar Pyaw Nay Pyi” but it’s a nice one too.

Aww, I don’t know her at all. I heard, she got a nice vocal and her friends adore her, so she assumes.

## Listen our last week picks here.
Tar.

I said no more music pick last time rite? Well…I lied, kind of. I was digging up old emails and I came across some of my friends’ songs; then the idea struck me – to do music picks on those. You see, a few of my friends are really musical and they have such good talents that are hidden behind their busy selves. I, as their good friend, have a responsibility to promote those hidden talents and show them off to the public. You never know, one day they’ll thank me or swear at me. hehe.

Phwe – Icy7ven
First of all, I like to introduce this young and talented missy – Phwe. She’s one of my 7ven friends and is a great singer in our group. Her best interests are to sing, chat and diet. She can sing for hours, no need any water or backup. She sings at home, in the loo, in bathroom, bedroom, kitchen, her friends’ places, and any place she can possibly think of singing. At the moment she is concentrating on her study. Due to her parents’ no-singing policy, she has to finish her studies first then follow her dreams. Already she got bookings from her friends to sing at their special occasions.

Missy sang at last year Thingyan festival too, I bet she’s practicing for this year Thingyan as well. You can request her to sing any song you have in mind. Oh yah she can sing quadri-lingual, Myanmar, English, Indian and Nepalese. How cool is that! Last time she sang me “Kush kush ho te hel” song and I think even Ashwaya Rai need to practice more on her vocal to catch up our Missy. hehe

Glass Alley
This is one of my friend’s high school band, sort of. A group of hsch friends teamed up to do a bit of recording. Sadly, the band is pretty much no more due to their members getting married and entering the chaos of daily life. The members were Meli, Albert, Jonathan, Steve and Forlani (my friend). I think Forlani played bass and did the intro part. Don’t know who the vocalist is but he’s got a potential. Sounded like John Mayer’s voice. There you go, shout me something good. Haha

These two songs are from one of their live shows. The recording is not that good in some parts but I think it’s alright. Both are their own creations so no replication please.

May – G7ven
A Ham, Ahamm! Ladies and gentlemen, girls and boys, lend me your ears. I have a great pleasure to introduce this amazing, talented, beautiful, magnificent, gorgeous, the marvelous (Cut, cut!), ME. A ha` ha`

Hey nothing wrong with promoting yourself alrite. There is this marketing theory – the more you promote yourself, the more people will buy from you. (or something like that) Not that I got anything to sell you, I’m just giving an example…well you know what I mean. I don’t think you need farther intro for me. I don’t sing anywhere and singing is not my specialty. I listen most of the time and am a good listener. Just for fun, I do sing from time to time for my own pleasure. I got a great support from my family, especially bro and sis to shut myself up whenever I try to sing.

In Hlet Kyi Par Oo, ahoot* cough* cough* I was screaming that much but that person never look back. What a fool. I got a sore throat after that. A friend sent me a scratched background music so it came out terrible. All my recordings sux. Well who cares! Do excuse me, if you hear some dog barking at the background. My dog wanted to sing too (or may be complaining my singing), so just to satisfy her, I have to record a few of her woofs* as well.

Alrite, that’s all for this week. Hope you enjoy listening all our songs and our sweet voices (especially mine rite?).hehe

I requested some songs from a few friends of mine so you’ll get to listen more from simple and ordinary talents in weeks ahead. Oh yah, if you’re interested to join us, do send me your songs. It doesn’t have to be your own creation. It can be Karaoke versions too. I just wanna hear your voices. Like my friend said, “any publicity is a good publicity”, so don’t be shy, lend me your voices.

Send me your voices and a bit of your info to mayvelous [at] gmail [dot] com

Ciao!

I’m not gonna post music pick anymore. I’m getting bored with music posting at the moment, plus I got a couple of comments from a few friends that I’m supporting piracy publicly. Well…I kind of did, but just for fun sharing among friends and mean no harm. Those songs are already on the web elsewhere and I’m just replicating. More like promotional purpose. Anyways, since I want my site to be clean, I better take a good advice and don’t do anything silly. Okie dokie, bye bye.

Let me start this week music pick with two hot songs.

Beyonce + Shakira – Beautiful Lier

You don’t want to miss this. This one is an amazing combo of the two most favorite singers’ new song. Both of them are so HOT; Beyonce as a wild sexy woman while Shakira on the other hand is more sophisticated one with captivate charms. There was a comment about Shakira being the REAL reason behind Global Warming and I think I have to second on that. LOL

The song by itself is not that outstanding but you must check out youTube video. You’ll be replaying more than once for sure. Both of them got great vocal but Shakaria got this unique throaty-nosy voice which is more attractive in my opinion. Beyonce learn the salted-worm moves from the worm queen Shakira. I still prefer Shakira on those moves. I think Beyonce is much better with her wild leach-mambos.

Ok if you don’t like worms and leaches then we could say…Jelly Shake and Shivering. But come to think of it, Jelly can’t twist and turn; they only bounce from side to side. So Shakari is definitely a worm and as for beyonce, I must say…she is more like shivering jelly. Hehe

They should make more songs with the combo, the record will sell like crazy. I want to see trio – Beyonce, Shakira and JLo, wow that gonna be so cool.

[ YouTube ] [ Lyric ]

Rihanna + Nicole Scherzinger – Winning Women

Last week we got www, this week it’s ww.
This is another hot pair – young, beautiful and talented Rihanna team up with Nichole, ultra thin hot chic, the lead singer from Pussy Cat Dolls (PCD). It’s for a new TV ad “Fusion Deodorant” or something. Not bad.

Ok enough with combos, I was planning to post some slow, nice songs this week but I just have to post the first two. Now back to my picks.

Norah Jones – Thinking About You + Wake Me Up

You must have heard of her, she was the top hit a few year back with “Come Away With Me” song. This two songs are from her new album, Not Too Late, which selling with a great number. She’s very good at making you sleep. I listen her songs whenever I want to sleep, and it takes me only half of her songs then I’ll be sleeping like a log. She got this unique vocal which is kind of drowsy yet sweet. I only like this two songs the most from “Not Too Late” album. Others are just too sleepy to keep listening.

[ YouTube ] [ Lyrics ] Thinking About You
[ Lyric ] Wake Me Up

Emma Bunton – All I Need To Know

Haven’t seen her for ages, she was one of the Spice Girls back in the old days. Emma looking abit oldish in the video but vocal is still sweet in this beautiful song.

[ YouTube ][ Lyric ]

Jewel – Quest For Love

Jewel is not really my favorite but I still like her. She’s more like country style or something. A friend of mine loves her songs, so this is for her. It’s from Jewel’s new album, “Alice in he wonder land”.

[ YouTube ] [ Lyric ]

Sarah Brightman – Stranger In Paradise

She is one of the classical vocalists. You know those sing with loud, pitchy, tiny voices in opera and stuffs. Yah, her songs are not that classic but they are slow and nice to listen. I like it anyway. It’s good to sleep with.

[ Lyric ]

And…that’s about it. Enjoy!

I guess, you’re missing two weeks of my music picks. I’m going to do some random picks here instead of album picks. These are just some new songs I came across last few weeks. Some are just released and some are not yet. Don’t know how they get those, I just do site hopping and grabbed a few here and there.
Alrite, cut the craps. Here are the picks.

Beyonce – World Wide Woman

It’s www everywhere and even Beyonce singing about it. haha. She still keeping her strong vocal style and it’s OK song. I find it a little annoying to hear that “I’m a world wide woman, w-w-w” repeatedly. It goes round n round in my head and kinda of make me dizzy.

Jennifer Lopez – Porque La Vida Es Asi

Adding Spanish flavor here. This is JLo’s new hit. She sings beautifully in there. I don’t know a word of it but I just like those tongue twisting languages.

Shakira – Illegal

I like her for how she sings and the way she dance. She is just too hot, I bet everyone agrees to that in her previous hit – Hip don’t lie. Even salted earth worm can’t twist and turn like her.Gosh the way she move. LOL This song is a slow one and good listening. I like it.

Avril Levigne – Girlfriend

My favorite skiter boi pop star, Avril Levigne’s new single “The Best Damn Thing” is gonna come out around April and got one leak song from there. It’s OK song, good to jump around – Hey Hey! You You! Check out the cover too. She is blonde now. Why blonde I don’t know, it just spoil her nice hair. I prefer the previous long straight brown one. She changed her style – more galie now.

Kelly Rowland (ft. Eve) – Like This

You all know her. She’s one of the gals from Destiny Childs’ – Kelly Rowland; she is releasing her solo album “Miss Kelly” later this year and this one is the first track from there featuring Eve.

Kelly Clarkson – One Minute

This is from her new album. I don’t like her voice here. She sounded like having a bad throat and can’t talk/sing well. The sound doesn’t come out clearly, and I just don’t like this track. comparing to some of her old hits.

Hilary Duff – With Love

This is from her new album “Dignity”. I like the background beat and the song is alrite too. She sings well and the beat is nice though quite a lot of repeatations. She topped the “Best Music Artist that come out from Disney Network”, with Lindsay Lohan as 2nd and Ashley Tisdale as 3rd.

Ashley Tisdale – Headstrong

You know this gal from the twin show comes on Sundays – The Suite Life of Zack and Cody. She really can sing! She’s is like little Britney style. All the songs in this album are pretty cool. Pop, fast beats and teen style.

Mandy Moore – Extraordinary

Quite a while we haven’t hear her songs and now she’s back with Extraordinary. It’s pretty slow one. Not bad.

Sarah Mclachlan – Ordinary Miracle

After Mandy Moore’s Extraordinary, here comes Sarah Mclachlan’s Ordinary Miricle. I like her songs, they are always sweet, slow and easy listening. This new one is also a nice melody and I like it.

Ok this is enough for two weeks picks. Which one you like most from here? Any pick you wanna share with me too? Enjoy yall.

This week music pick featuring five songs from Katharine McPhee’s, a runner up of last year American Idol, latest album – “Katharine McPhee”.

She has a voice similar to Kelly Clarkson, Joss Stone, quite a bit of Christina and Beyonce mixed. But hers is abit softer, not big one like Joss Stone and not that strong like Christina. Some songs she sings like Kelly Clarkson and in some her style is very similar to Beyonce.

Katharine Hope McPhee (born March 25, 1984) is an American singer who was the runner-up to Taylor Hicks on the fifth season of American Idol in 2006.

IMHO, she has all it needs, the age, the look, the vocal and the attitude to become a great pop star. She follows a lot like Kelly Clarkson. Though I still prefer Kelly Clarkson cos’ she got more confidence vocal and very charismatic, I also believe Katharine will do great as she shows her potentials in this debut album.

I’m not sure how Katharine performs on stage as I’ve never seen her music video or the idol show. To be a great star needs not only vocal but the sensational look too. I already like her look and most of her songs from the album so a thumb up from me.

Here is my favorite 5 from the album.

Dangerous – this one is the top list from her album I think, it’s pretty cool. My #1. Sounded like Christina.

Dangerous. He’ll steal your heart away, then run away.
He’s dangerous. Protect your heart, he’ll tear it apart.
Dangerous. He’ll steal your heart away, then run and play.
He’s dangerous. Protect your heart, he’ll tear it apart.

[ Lyrics ]

Over It – Jr. Kelly Clarkson with a tint of Gwen on the chorus part. 2nd best.

Oh and that’s why
Your eyes… I’m over it.
You’re smile… I’m over it.
Realized… I’m over it, I’m over it, I’m over…
Wanting you to be wanting me.
No, that ain’t no way to be.
How I feel.
Read my lips.
Because I’m so over…

[ Lyrics ]

Love Story – I like the beat from here.

It’s a typical love story
We started out as friends
We met way back when
This is just a
Typical love story

[ Lyrics ]

Neglected – A slow one, I like the chorus part.

The more you try to tell me that you changed
the more i feel neglected
if this is how you try to make it up to me
then let’s just end it
I dont, like this feeling any more
I dont, like this feeling
cause whenever i’m around you boy i know that i won’t be respected
just neglected

[ Lyrics ]

Ordinary World – Slow one too, love the lyric. She is just Jr. Beyonce in this one.

Close your eyes and feel me hold you
Can you lead me through this ordinary world
Let the sky cry, restless rain to wash away the miles
Between us, ’cause without you it’s just an ordinary world

[ Lyrics ]
