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!

brilliant, absolutely great!
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. http://images.vietnamnet.vn/dataimages/original/images658343_HelenaChristensen.jpg
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! The song is pretty cool, much better than RnB. I nominate this video: Susanna Hoffs - My Side of the Bed.
"You'll get yours on my side of the bed..." Oh my.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. ops:

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.

I've got a mental list of 3 possible songs for OT. The great pretender, the Freddie's way, Always on my mind, the Elvis way or Unchained Melody. Or maybe Love of my life... I'll record myself in all of them and see what's best... I've thought that some of them are old-fashioned but I've seen that's no problem checking the final casting of OT last year. These are the last 25 contestants:
One even sings Bohemian Rhapsody, or What A Wonderful World, and some even Unchained Melody itself or Fly me to The moon... so it's not problem. You only got to do right. -
I'm not gonna bother you more with the Operacion Triunfo thing... because the casting is already over before I could do it. I didn't know but if was closed definitely yesterday at 12.00. Today I had the cam ready, and the mic, to try a few things... Yet, that's when I start doubting of it all... like some have reminded me, that show goes against what I believe in many things... I wouldn't fit there at all. Yet I've been doubting a lot this evening, and I was surfing the web to get more info and then I've discovered it's closed. Then the doubt is over!... They have selected another guy, and I've watched the video and I've sang alone, and I can do it just like him... thought probably I wouldn't want to do it like that anyway... But that's the problem, I just wanted to do an experiment and not really though I could get in... but yes, I could get in... (and some people that don't know me much will point me that again this year as usual ...). So I can get back to critize that show (and shows) as usual... (I've sometimes tempted to do what I should not do too... the Dark Side is very tempting... I'm glad I didn't have all ready to do it till today really...) c'mon-The Sex Pistols-God Save The Queen (live in San Francisco, last concert)

Well, this thread has become a one man's thread.... I don't want to keep posting cause I could do a triple mika (three posts of the same interrupted boardie) so only one more... what I could tell will be in a short way... -Ringo and Paul speaking as half of the Beatles in the conference today -Me in the karaoke doing Born to be Wild and Heartbreak Hotel -Or finding in the Hard Rock Cafe of Barcelona the original 1976 contract of Queen with Elektra Records , not a photocopy, signed by the 4 members. -Or another rock and roll relic. A pic of Bob Geldof in the arms of Pete Thownsend and Paul McCartney just after Paul sings Let it Be in Live Aid and before all doing Feed The World.. autographed by the 3 of them. -And Evie and me having now different plans for the recordings...

Is it on the net somewhere? I'll have to check. There will be some live backstage video tomorrow.
-Me in the karaoke doing Born to be Wild and Heartbreak Hotel
I bet you do a great Elvis!
-Or finding in the Hard Rock Cafe of Barcelona the original 1976 contract of Queen with Elektra Records , not a photocopy, signed by the 4 members. -Or another rock and roll relic.

Cool stuff! I remember Paul and Pete hoisting Geldof to their shoulders.
-And Evie and me having now different plans for the recordings...
I can't wait to hear what you two cook up!
