I must admit, I'm not into opera at all, yet when I saw Paul Potts perform, I got chills. As much as I'm on the 'net, I don't know how I missed this. Anyway, he apparently won his season of Britain's Got Talent, but his audition speaks volumes. What really got me was how the judges' faces go from bored and uninterested to tears and shock. Git it then Paul.

Preach!

My favorite song by Leela James is My Joy. Sure it’s a blues song, but it’s hardly a sad one. I’d love to share my favorite live version but it somehow vanished from YouTube and everywhere else on the 'net (probably due to an accident with the mic during the performance. Still, that’s just how fierce the song was because the mic incident didn’t even matter!). So I’ll just share this one. Actually what I like about this performance is how she breaks it down. I really could have used this a few years back, but maybe someone else could benefit from the message now. Enjoy…
(Besides James’ music, I love the way she rocks the blow-out.)

A good friend recently jumped the broom. I don't want to put all of her personal photos out there but I'm posting a few here not because she was a beautiful bride (which she was) or because the wedding was gorgeous (which it was) but please take a close look at the dress. The talented bride designed and sewed her own gown. No lie. Look out Vera Wang! Enjoy the photos, then take a look at the video of random newlyweds I found surfing the 'net. You won't regret it. ;o)

One thing I can appreciate is great comedy. If you have Comedy Central, try to catch the Henry Cho or Lynn Koplitz specials. They're hilarious!
