The first time I saw a movie called "The School of Rock" in 2005, I didnt knew Jack black was an actual rocker from US of A.
I realized this fact when I googled it later to find out more of his movies.... and it showed me results featuring him and his band "Tenacious D" .. therefore I realized he is a far more better Singer than his acting and believe me, he is a phenomenal actor too...
This one is one of his best songs that I like, and this one is called "Tenacious D - Tribute"... I also liked their Video released in 2001 on SONY Music.

Tenacious D - Tribute

November 09 UK Chart Top
Westlife has come to UK Charts Top 2 this week (1st Nov-8th Nov'09) with their track 'What about Now' in their 10th Album together with Sony Music Entertainment UK Ltd...
What's the irony???
Chris Daughtery ranks at 39 in the same week and if you compare his version with the Westlife's version, you'll find Chris Daughtery's version of the track much better and sounds so much great than all these Westlife guys combined together....
Wanna compare yourself??
Check out:
Westlife Version: vs Chris Daughtry Version
I feel Daughtry has done more justice to the song keeping less of himself and more of the cause in the song.
That's what real music is all about right?
Cheers!

Stephen Gately
Stephen Patrick David Gately (17 March 1976 - 10 October 2009) was an Irish pop singer, writer and actor, who, with Ronan Keating, was one of two lead singers in the boy band Boyzone. All of the band's studio albums hit number one in the UK, their third and last being their most successful internationally. He had a Top 10 solo album in 2000, after the band's initial breakup. Gately went on to appear variously in stage productions and on television programmes as well recording further solo material. In 2008, he rejoined his bandmates as Boyzone reformed for a series of concerts and recordings.
Gately wed Andrew Cowles, first in a commitment ceremony in Las Vegas in 2003 and more formally in a civil partnership ceremony in London in 2006.
After success with Boyzone, the band decided in 2000 to move on to solo projects. Gately was the first with his debut solo single titled New Beginning and later a debut solo album of the same name.
The album New Beginning included 12 brand new tracks including a version of the classic "Bright Eyes" which he recorded for the soundtrack to the new TV version of Watership Down. He also became the voice of one of the characters ('Blackavar') which was created to look like him.
On 29 May 2000, the single "New Beginning" was released and reached number #3 in the UK charts. Two weeks later the album was released and also entered the charts.
The second single taken from the album was "I Believe". Released on 2 October 2001 this song also featured on the soundtrack to the film Billy Elliot and just missed the UK top ten, peaking at #11. Gately was inspired to record this track after he had seen the film. He attended the premieres of the film both at the Edinburgh Film Festival and at the Empire Theatre in Leicester Square, along with the actors from the film including Julie Walters and Jamie Bell. In May 2001, Stephen's third single, "Stay", was released and reached #13 in the UK chart. That month, with his single still on the charts, his record company, Polydor, dropped him from their label.
In January 2007, Gately was heard in Horror of Glam Rock, a Doctor Who audio drama produced by Big Finish Productions for BBC7. For this audio play, Gately recorded an original song, "Children of Tomorrow", with music by Tim Sutton and lyrics by Barnaby Edwards; this was his first solo track since 2001's "Stay".

Michael Bubley
Topping UK Chart numbers right now, its the Michael Bubley's new album "Crazy Love" that is being played by all London leading stations... (I primarily spend so much of my time scanning Capital and MAGIC) that I can vouch on this myself :)
The video looks out for being a simple and sweet one...

What a wonderful world!
"What a Wonderful World" is a song written by Bob Thiele (as George Douglas) and George David Weiss. It was first recorded by Louis Armstrong and released as a single in 1968. Thiele and Weiss were both prominent in the music world (Thiele as a producer and Weiss as a composer/performer). Some have suggested that pianist Dana Pelkie collaborated on the song using "George Douglas" as a pseudonym, but this has never been confirmed. This pseudonym is also known to relate to Thiele.
Found these 2 versions of songs online:
Louis Armstrong's original one:

Rod Stevart, live at Royal Albert:

This track was also used as a background track in many movies since then, including 2006, in Disney and Pixar's animated movie called "CARS"

Somewhere over the rainbow
This is a lovely ballad written by E.Y. Harburg and composed by Harold Arlen in 1939. since then, over 20 artistes have sung it, including Cliff Richard, Eric Clapton, Jason Castro, Norah Jones, Eva Cassidy, Jeff Beck, Nina Hagen and others..
This version is by late Israel Kamakawiwo'Ole 'IZ' from Hawai'i (May 20, 1959 – June 26, 1997)
I found his version, a nice simple video which truly carried the theme of the song forward, in his lovely voice and the guitar:

| Here I am also giving the lyrics just in case if you wanna humm along with it: | |
| Somewhere over the rainbow Way up high, There's a land that I heard of Once in a lullaby. Somewhere over the rainbow Skies are blue, And the dreams that you dare to dream Really do come true. Someday I'll wish upon a star And wake up where the clouds are far Behind me. Where troubles melt like lemon drops Away above the chimney tops That's where you'll find me. Somewhere over the rainbow Bluebirds fly. Birds fly over the rainbow. Why then, oh why can't I? If happy little bluebirds fly Beyond the rainbow Why, oh why can't I? | |
