vlivantje:
Here's my latest headless video of The Boxer.
Once again vlivantje...That is Beautiful!! I am sure that Paul Simon and Art Garfunkel would love it! It is one of my older brother's favorite songs and mine as well. I hope you don't mind if I share the link with him. I love the comments below the video. They pretty well confirm how lovely of a job you have done with the song!
-
Thanks, Steven (is that your name?)
I'm Evelien, by the way. But you can call me Eve too, like most people here do.
I'm always rather productive in the weekends it seems, I just finished my 2nd fav. Simon & Garfunkel song, and I just need to make a few minor adjustments (in volume and whatever) and I'll post it later.
I hope you'll like that one as well!
Oh, and I'm planning a Beatles song as my next "project" for a change! Got a fun one to play and sing and I've been practising it too today.

And here it is....I re-did this like 50 times before I was finally satisfied. And it's still not without its flaws...but I like it!
Can't do better on the guitar part...I just don't have the right guitar.

I think that they are beautiful Eve! It is great to hear such a lovely female voice covering these timeless classics...and your guitar work sounds fine! I have a cd with these S&G songs on them. You are doing quite well indeed! Thank You for sharing these. Steve and/or Steven is fine. Keep up the good work! I think you're building a fan club!
Your voice and harmonies are so beautiful.......they are humbling

vlivantje.... Your voice is so captivatingly beautiful!. I happened to notice SurSteven in the thread and I just though I'd check it out, and WOW, was I pleasantly surprised. You captured the essence of those songs perfectly yet made them your own. You are one talented lady!

I'll add my WOW! to this sentiment. Excellent job Eve!
-
Wow, thank you, Steven, Claudia & Stefan!
And Tina too of course.
It's my pleasure to do these songs....just like it is a pleasure to the originals by Simon & Garfunkel.
I can't believe I didn't discover these two fine artists sooner.
You know, I've been thinking....The Beatles' songs are harder to play (at least for me.
but not Simon & Garfunkel's songs. They're quite okay and easy to learn. I think it's because Paul Simon really uses the most basic chords (A, D, C, G, E, Am, Em, etc...) and makes it into a beautiful song! The Beatles have a few harder chords in their songs here and there!

I like so much this song. Always out of the Greatest Hits, but in my favs of them... I think that Artie's song for me is Bridge Over Troubled Water cause he sings it alone. And I think it will sound great in you/Eve... I have almost finished... (only... vocals.. missing). Mrs. Robinson it's gonna be a bit of a surprise. But not Bridge cause it will be almost the same. Well, I don't have an orchestra in my room, so I had to use other things...

Someone said it will be good I keep you posted on my Operacion Triunfo (Spanish Pop Idol thing). After waiting for it I heard the news the Barcelona casting has already happened.
And I watched their official website and there was nothing until it had already happened. Fans of the show went, as they know every little thing about it, but I didn't have a clue. There's like 300000 people on the casting (and this is not a stretch). So it's not about expecting anything... there's another option. The online casting. About recording a video with a mic and a web cam. Sort of like Evie does, but a capella. Doing it from your home and some are selected for a final casting. I'm gonna try this.
(If all works out in this PC). Only 30 seconds to sign, so obviously... I don't have a clue of what to out... I'll probably record a few songs and choose some... It's not about recording really a thing... the recording is made LIVE on the website, so you can't repeat it. So many songs, so little time... BTW it is not limited to Spanish people at all. For instance, last year someone from the USA was in the final show. So if someone wants to try, drop me a line and I'll tell you how it goes.

2 Proposals for sexiest video and funniest recording: Chris Isaak (and Laetitia Casta)-Baby did a bad bad thing
I agree with this choice....watching Chris Isaak get hot and bothered is okay by me
Oh yeah! That is a very sexy video!
Chris Isaak looks so happy when the babe is about to take off her bra.
But I did not like the ending... what the hell was he doing?
Another famous Chris Isaak one, this time with Helena Christensen "Wicked Game" http://video.google.es/videoplay?docid=1370097243277094363&ei=zVDKSbHTG9KF-QaUnv2VCA&q=wicked+game&hl=es
That one is a classic! I love Helena Christensen.

I can't believe you don't say a thing about the Ewa Sonnet video, it's not the pizza one but another... You CAN'T MISS that. You know what I mean.
I've seen that video now... Wow! She is so damn hot!
"You'll get yours on my side of the bed..." Oh my.The song is pretty cool, much better than RnB. I nominate this video: Susanna Hoffs - My Side of the Bed.
I see, that's the one of "Oh, ah, I touch myself. When I think about you, I touch myself" I can't find the video (if ever existed), someone else singing that song...
I guess the video was censored before even being recorded...or was it this the original... for some reasons I thought Susana Hoffs was the singer...
That song is a classic... " When I think about you I touch myself."
A couple of sexy videos with the hot Swedish singer, Tess:

Let's not forget this one:
-
I've finished my part of Bridge Over Troubled Water. Well, this is complicated... international duet, online one. At the beginning I started quite shouting and that's not the point of the song. So I start signing as low as I can for that notes. The end is especially difficult and I don't know if it will work out well... but who cares?. We could do a lot of takes till get it right but we could spent days like that... It's almost as the original, 2 notes higher, and I've done some different things on the piano, like using something that's on the middle of the song as the intro without realizing... I think it will be great.

after Tess from Sweden, Roser from Barcelona
etc or Merche, she's a composer... (she has "The Songwriter's Butt", you knew I was going to say that...) this one may not be so hot, but the song is very good Bombon-sort of like "hottie"... a little oops moment -

Hey Oliver, got the song, thanks, but now I'm coming down with ANOTHER cold, so my throat is killing me again and I probably won't be able to sing in the next couple of days.

In case of curiosity, here some of the videos of the online casting of Operacion Triunfo: All of them are 30 seconds long. Guys and girls singing... Leonard Cohen's Hallejuhah in the Jeff Buckley style? http://www.operaciontriunfo.com/2009/casting/video/borntodoit-1654135950 All By Myself www.operaciontriunfo.com/2009/casting/video/รngel7-1096559901 Amazing Grace www.operaciontriunfo.com/2009/casting/video/Belisse-1396660587 Every Breath you take... in a Norah Jones style? www.operaciontriunfo.com/2009/casting/video/cristinarueda-1386275906 and One Moment in time... yes, in the Withney Houston style www.operaciontriunfo.com/2009/casting/video/vietaA-1555880938 and on and on... I feel God Save The Queen will not be a good choice.
Almost everyone overdo vocal things... but well, if you have 30 seconds only it's better to overdo than to "under do"...

Chicago and Barcelona tops favourite cities to live for men list by Askmen.com http://finance.yahoo.com/news/Chicago-Tops-List-as-the-Best-bw-14793697.html LOS ANGELES--(BUSINESS WIRE)--AskMen.com, the largest online men's magazine, today announced the inaugural edition of its ?Top 29 Cities for Men to Live In.? Compiled by AskMen.com editors, Chicago topped the list as the best city in the world for the everyday man. Selection criteria for the top cities included, among other factors, the rate of employment, ratio of single women to men, frequency of cultural activities and sporting events and the cost of a pint of beer. To learn more about AskMen.com's ?Top 29 Cities for Men to Live In,? please visit www.askmen.com/specials/2009_top_29. The complete list of AskMen.com?s ?Top 29 Cities for Men to Live In? includes: 1. Chicago 16. Miami 2. Barcelona 17. Madrid 3. San Francisco 18. Vienna 4. London 19. Los Angeles 5. Sydney 20. Montreal 6. New York 21. Panama City 7. Berlin 22. Portland 8. Hong Kong 23. Lyon 9. Copenhagen 24. Melbourne 10. Paris 25. Tel Aviv 11. Vancouver 26. Santiago 12. Rome 27. Cape Town 13. Buenos Aires 28. Hamburg 14. Tokyo 29. Edinburgh 15. Toronto The ?Top 29 Cities for Men to Live In? results were determined through eight unique rating categories developed by AskMen.com editors including: Dating & Sex
, Sports & Entertainment, Culture, Fashion, Health, Power & Money, The Good Life and 2009 Livability. Cities earned points and elevated their rank on the list through an evaluation process that assessed several influential features, such as: the population of single, college-educated women, how late bars/clubs stay open, the presence of reputable menswear-only stores, the rate of male heart disease, the cost of living and the occurrence of annual international arts festivals I think that in Barcelona is more for the late words in bold, not for the first ones. Anyway i still don't understand why people from so many places come here.
