Having time on my hands since we have a long weekend (by protest!), I spent most of my day just surfing the internet. One of my favorite things to do is to search for good singing performances from Youtube. I started with American Idol performances. I replayed Danny Gokey’s final audition “I hope you dance”. I was wondering why Paula Abdul was so enthusiastic about this particualr singer. And his take on that song was really good and emotional. Then I looked up David Archuleta. When I reviewed his AI performances, he was really really good! “Heaven”, “Imagine”, “Don’t Let the Sun Go Down on Me” are among my favorites.

When Leona Lewis’s name came up among the videos of David Archuleta, out of a whim I decided to view that too. I never really knew how good Leona Lewis is. I knew that she won an AI equivalent at UK. I love her in “Better in Time”. What can I say after watching all her Xfactor performances…This girl can SING! She is so INCREDIBLE! All the good superlatives that I can think of, she’s that. She’s a world-class performer, a way far different league from AI singers. She’s like Mariah Carey, Whitney Houston, and Christina Aguilera roll into one. Simon Cowell is a big fan of hers. I can never tired watching all her X factor videos. Love her performing “Over the Rainbow”, “Chiquititia”, “All by Myself”. Check out her “Summertime” X factor performance. Actually check out all her videos!

Then there was the new Ellen Degeneres discovery, Rin on the Rox. These 2 girls who sing in the bathroom and do covers on popular songs. Why in a bathroom? Because the sound comes out better inside a bathroom. I love their version of Beyonce’s “If I were a Boy” and “Halo”. Unfortunately their videos in Youtube has been suspended (I don’t know why).

If you have any Youtube faves, please tell me. I have lots of time in my hands to watch some videos. :P
