Sting - Shape of My Heart

If I was given a choice of any artist in this world to serenade me and make me weak to my knees, it will always be Mr. Sting. The older Sting. The older he gets the more sexy I find him to be.  I guess this is what the saying, aging gracefully. So, I've said it....yes, I've got the hots for Sting. Check out the video.

I know that the spades are the swords of a soldier
I know that the clubs are weapons of war
I know that diamonds mean money for this art
But that's not the shape of my heart

He may play the jack of diamonds
He may lay the queen of spades
He may conceal a king in his hand
While the memory of it fades


Such a unique voice. One of a kind. Whenever I listen to this song I just can't take my eyes on him. Definitely well rehearsed but it looked as though their performance was impromptu.  Sting has recorded various musical style throughout his career, incorporating elements of jazz, reggae, classical and new age, just to name a few, into his music. Some of my favorite songs by Sting are, Rise and Fall, Shape of My Heart, Fragile, Dessert Rose, Russian and also An Englishman in New York. I would like to share the below video  performed by Cas Haley on Amercia Got Talent who sang a reggae version of Walking on the Moon, a song popularize by The Police.  Piers Morgan said he once saw Sting performed this song in a private function but Cas Haley performance outshine Sting! And I have to admit I love this reggae version.

Well its 12 midnight good morning folks, have a productive week ahead!

Tevin Campbell - Can We Talk

He is said to be Quincy Jones' prodigy. Who doesn't know Quincy Jones. He is like a messiah when it comes to discovering new talents. It seems that he was the person responsible carving the pave for Tevin Campbell becoming an R&B artist. After the released of Tevin's 2nd album, I'm Ready in Fall of 93 this video clip was aired in MTV. I thought it was really pure, sweet and cute. This song is about high school kids first crush.  It fitted Tevin like a glove, perfect for him who was 16 years old and slowly maturing into adulthood.

Fall 93 semester was to be a very busy semester. My parents have been pressuring me about graduation. I'd registered for 5 classes and was planning for the Winter graduation. Unfortunately God had other plans for me. After 2 weeks of classes, I fell very sick and took the whole semester off due to a spine surgery and recovery period.

Well anyway, earlier in the semester I purchased a set of BOSE bookshelf speakers. It cost me USD340 and fitted it with my set of DENON CD player and an amplifier.  Yes! It sounded great.  In fact I still use the speakers until today in my bedroom.  Unfortunately my DENON set are sitting in the attic collecting dust.  The amp blew up sometime back for the second time due to my carelessness. I used a converter because voltage conversion from 110v to 220v. I mistakenly plugged it in, into the wrong socket and puff...it went dead! It is very difficult to locate a stereo shop which can fix this brand. The parts can be excessively expensive in Malaysia.

After the purchase I brought home my new speakers, I hooked it on to my amp and 5 disc carousel CD player.  And the first song I put on was Tevin Campbell's Can We Talk.  Obviously I wanna test how good the speaker was and I think I over did it.  The Japanese tenant above my apartment came knocking on my door and said that my music was too loud. OOppss sorry mamasan,...won't happened again.
