Juanes y Nelly Furtado - Fotografía

Fotografía is a song performed by Juanes (Juan Esteban Aristizábal) and Nelly Furtado for Juanes' 2nd album, Un Día Normal. Although Juanes music genre is Latin Rock, I think this song is not a rock song at all. I'm really love this song. Both Juanes and Nelly Furtado sang this song well. The song fit them so much.

The song gave each of them an award for best duet and Juanes one for best songwriter at the Latin Music awards. (LoMasTv)

Yup, they are deserved it..
LoMasTv use the video clip as free demo of their service. You can learn and improve your spanish there. They gave rating for difficulities of each video, and the song, Fotografía, is the easiest. Try it :D

I was looking for the lyrics then I made the karaoke subtitle for the video clip, so I can sing the song while watching the video.. I've uploaded the video subbed with karaoke subtitle to youtube, but due to the copyright from UMG (Universal Music) the embedding option is disabled. That's not problem, just click here to watch the Juanes' Fotografia with karaoke subtitle on youtube.

Then, I got the english translation from La Mamita's Blog, click the link to see the translation. Uhm, after read the translation I guess this song a theme song for Long Distance Relationship.. They see each other only "through" the photograph. Well, technology nowadays allows us to communicate although we parted thousand miles..

From this song, I got a message : "Keep the faithfullness...". It's just my thought.. Keep the faithfullness..

Sun Ho - Fancy Free

I have heard about Sun Ho, but don't know much about her. She is a singer from Singapore. Her new MV is Fancy Free launched yesterday night. Beside the MV launching, the management held a Live Video Chat on Facebook. My friends had told me about the Live Video Chat but I missed it :((. So, I tried to watch the recorded Video Chat on ustream, but the connection was really poor (should use better internet provider) so I just watched till the first question from Uganda.

Oh yeah, that was the first time I see Sun. I was surprised, because she is really different from what I imagined. On the video, she mentioned about Indonesia :D. She said she loves Indonesian Kecap Manis (Sweet Soy Sauce) and also said that she loves Indonesia..Nice :D

First question on the Video Chat was from Uganda.. The fan from Uganda asked her about the Fancy Free, what does Sun feel about that song because the song was really cool. Sun said she really loves the song because the song is like her own personality..

OK, watch the Video Clip here

You can find the complete information about Sun Ho on her website here.

Malam Biru

One day when reading my facebook's homepage, there was 3 video links posted by my friend. He commented the all three by "Gilllllllaaaaaaaaaa", "Sadisssssssssssssssss". Those comments made me so courious what kind of videos were that.

So, I clicked the play button on one video. The opening scene showed an unpopular man with a guitar sang unpopular song. His name is Sandhy Sondoro, the song was Malam Biru and he come from INDONESIA. Wow...I was so surprised, that was someone that I didn't know but he was so awesome. For a while, I realized his voice like Ahmad Dhani's (but I prefer this unpopular man because his simple but great performance).


After I did some googling, I got information about him and the performance. The performance was on International Contest of Young Pop Singers NEW WAVE 2009 at Jurmala, Latvia. The great thing is he won the contest....WOW. The information can be found here (in Bahasa Indonesia). Salute for Sandhy Sondoro.



This is the song lyric for Malam Biru (composed by Sandhy Sondoro himself)

Suatu malam yang biru tanpa dirimu
berjuta-juta rinduku padamu
sendiripun ku harus nikmati
nyanyian sang rembulan

Engkau yang seharusnya di sisiku
Engkau yang s'lalu ada di khayalku
Semoga kau mendengar lagu ini
Yang kucipta untukmu

Chorus:
Oo, kasihku..
Ini..ini..laguku..
Hanya untuk dirimu
Tanda cintaku padamu oo sayang..

The english translation for Malam Biru:

On a blue night without you
millions of my eagerness to you
I have to enjoy alone
the song from the moon

You are that supposed to be my side
You are that always on my dream
I wish you hear this song
that I composed for you

Chorus:
Oo, my love..
this..this..is my song,
just for you
as my love proof to you
