I’m just saying that there are other acoustic guitar players that deserve that title over Don, I would have even preferred the other acoustic performance during the live final. It was more melodic and clean. Maybe the song appealed more when watched live which could be the case, but I’d give my vote to Jon Gomm if he joined. Anyway all of the finalists are already winners so instead of sulking up and just enjoy the Guitar Idol III live final videos.

To better appreciate how good these two players are, I would recommend that you use a good speaker system or a sony mdr. Good headphones reproduce the sound faithfully which in this case is Tony and Martin’s playing. With it you can hear all those small nuances that make the difference between amateur and master. Looks like I’ll be hooking up with more Jazz standards. I didn’t care much about the interview, I would just rewind to the jam. This video gets an easy 5 star.

I waited for my excitement to die down before I attempted to write an objective review of Jason Mraz concert in Manila last October. Looking back, we truly enjoyed the concert, fan or no fan, you will simply be amazed at Jason Mraz’s sheer vocal prowess and musical talent. Jason and Toca confidently confronted thousands of screaming fans that filled the gigantic Araneta Colliseum.

Jason and Toca sang their hearts out, they sang all of my favorites including Butterfly and Dynamo of volition from Jason’s latest album. The concert was a major success, save for a few minor qualms. Most of my complaints will fall under technical difficulties or venue related problems.

First complaint is the lousy sound system. There was too much echo and there was not enough power to fill the stadium. Although as a fan, I am familiar with his lyrics, but newbies will probably have a hard time understanding what Jason was singing about. Next complaint is the decision to do an acoustic set at a giant venue like Araneta. Jason should have gotten himself a full band to back him up complete with sax and wind instruments – it would have been much more fun.

Still acoustic sets have that feeling of intimacy which die hard fans probably preferred, sadly these die hard fans only know Jason’s popular songs like You and I both, I’m yours and Lucky. Overall it was a great concert experience and was well worth the dread of traffic and the hard time we had parking our car.

Sometimes, even if you do not know the lyrics, you simply want to sing. This holiday season, make sure you are all set to rock everyone’s world by sharing your own rendition of your favorite song. You do not have to memorize the lyrics and the proper notes that should be hit. What is important is that you sing from the heart and sing with the right emotions.

Singing soothes the aching heart. When you are sad, all you need to have is a karaoke machine by your side and sing your heart out. For those who are happy, singing is a great way to share the world the bliss of life. So whatever your emotions are, a song or two is best to express it to the world full of listeners.
