Falling in love with Lennon and Maisy

/ iamsupercarla / 1 Comment

It was a pretty rough day at work when a coworker suggested that I peek into the adorkable world of Lennon and Maisy.  If you haven’t seen their video below, you should click play now:

They’re so cute!  It absolutely prompted me to look into more of their work, and what blew my mind were their ages:  Lennon is 12, and Maisy, 8.

I rapidly viewed all of their videos and though this rendition of Jason Mraz’s I Won’t Give Up is already a perfect accompaniment to an onsite wedding video:

It was Maisy’s growling rendition of Missy Higgins’ Secret that sent chills up and down my spine.

Who wouldn’t fall in love with these two?!  They even made a thank you video!  Look out for the second “we”!

They’re going to guest star on a TV show called Nashville.  I don’t really watch that one, but I think I will have to download that particular episode just to see these two.

Subscribe to their YouTube channel here, follow them on Twitter, and like their Facebook page.

Yeah yeah, I did all three.  Hahahah.

Covers

If you know me well enough, I don’t really appreciate covers.  There was a time here in the Philippines when people became platinum artists just by singing a cover of someone else’s song.  I think it just lacks originality, and they’re mooching off the originals.

But yeah, I can’t deny that this caught my attention.  It’s a good rendition!

Another thing that I won’t deny is regretting not buying Maroon 5 concert tickets sooner.  I don’t know why I procrastinated!  I’m the woman in the relationship; I should be handling this!  Hahahaha.

The last couple of long weekends got me reminiscing through YouTube and although this isn’t really a good classic song, it’s very catchy and upbeat.

And it got stuck in my head.

Sungha Jung never fails to give justice to a song.

Do not lie to me.  Tell me you sang to that too!

Her Highness Sings

Here’s another music post, this time dedicated to Dylan.  Yiheeeee. :”>

I honestly think this is one of THE best female vocal performances ever.  I was sitting at home, waiting for Dylan’s text then (this was 2007), and then the Grammy’s came on.  Of course, I wouldn’t pass the chance to watch it!

And then Mary J. Blige sang.  OH MY GOD.  It’s just friggin’ fantastic!

Plus she looks sooo regal in this outfit.


Prepare to be blown away.

That was me singing with her.

*ending gush now*

This song still gives me goosebumps

It’s been years, and I don’t know how often I have to say it, but this song is just perfect.  It never fails to hit me to the core, make me feel like a woman, and the voice quality… OH WOW.  It’s just perfect.

Are you ready?  You should be.

My hands are tied / My body bruised / She got me with nothing to win / And nothing left to lose

Now, that’s a song.

 

Tight pants and lacy dresses

I like Enrique Iglesias.  His music is always in love, or desperately in love, or just thirsty to prove that he’s love.  Hahahaha.  Really.  And all the time, it goes with a good beat and a fantastic melody.

I’ve been watching Heartbeat a lot recently, just to get the blood pumping right before work.  The weather has been so depressing lately; it’s like the skies are trying to recover from a breakup.  So yeah, this song just gives you that good chirpy mood.

Notice the bleached jeans Enrique (hyuck, feeling close) is wearing?

That Nicole Scherzinger’s lacy dress.

Yeah I don’t think I’m up for that.  But because it’s still 2012, goals have not changed.  I have lost and gained and lost and gained the pounds I aim to lose, so obviously the challenge that I fail to rise to every time is consistency.

I believe I’ll do better this month.  :)  But for now…

*enter music*
