Yes, I am.
I think it first started with that David Choi's Youtube Song - I started listening to the version by this girl named Ailee. I checked out the other songs she posted up and I liked some of it. I actually only looked into some of her songs because I felt that she really looked like a pal of mine, by the name of Aivyn. With the similar looks and name, I thought that they could be related!! O.o" Then it led to youtube-ing random unknown talented Korean singers who just signed contracts with music producers abroad.
Back to Ailee, you should check out her myspace and her recorded version of a few famous hits. I love this song released by her 'O My God'. So catchy! But it's not available for download just yet :(:(:(
Then it was Phoebus - that famous HK genius pianist that seems to always play at some mall during the weekends. Man, he makes playing piano seem so easy. Well, maybe it is. Just that I'm not talented :/
Then there was a period that I was listening to this Miarose girl who did a couple renditions of songs that I like.
Then I found Boyce Avenue (ya, I know their name damn gay) also by chance. Most probably when I was looking for piano acoustic versions of Apologize. I wouldn't say all his songs are good but I like some of his piano acoustic pieces. He's got this somewhat sexy low manly voice kinda thing going for him, which sometimes works for me haha. I keep stating 'he/him' despite the fact that it's meant to be a boyband because the rest of the band members are 'keh-leh-fehs' to me. Which equals to men not singing and looking like they hold musical instruments which serves no purpose. You'll understand what I'm saying if you start browsing their videos.
Then. I stopped youtube-ing for quite some time.
I'm not sure how it got me started once again. But now, I'm hooked on Marie Digby. And please, it's pronounced as 'Ma-ri-eh'. Not your usual way of pronouncing Me-rih. Actually, I made the same bloody mistake until I listened to one of her vlog posts. Haha but now, I know and get to correct the rest of you like a Miss Know-It-All *crosses arms and smirks like a satisfied bitch*
Okay, back to her songs. She became famous after her rendition of umbrella. I also like her version of say it right, all good things (come to an end), torn, gimme more, no air and others. She also wrote her own songs and two of my favourite ones are stupid for you and say it again.
Ahhh she's so talented. I love her when she plays the piano or do her guitar thing. And she's so pretty. And despite recording herself on video, she looks so natural and confident. She is also so pweeetty. Well, I actually prefer her with minimal make-up like when she records herself, rather than the full-on 'paint' on her official video. But still pretty :)
Actually I learnt about her from June. I love stealing songs off her since she has quite good taste for songs that I like which I wouldn't have known about if it wasn't for her. Like 'Along the Wall' and '逼得寵物太近' - songs that I always play on my ipod when I'm out :)
Okay, I really gotta stop youtube-ing. I obviously have too much time in my hands :/ And I am aware that I obviously need a new hobby.
You know it most probably took me close to 2 hours just to blog this. Just because I got side-tracked going through all the stated above's renditions of songs and discovering new songs that they posted since I last checked. This is what I mean when I tell people that I have a short attention span.
