I've been listening to alot of Spanish language music lately and came across Rosana (sorry, not Roxana!).

I speak Spanish and have tons of Spanish music so if you want more just let me know.


I listen to Nastya Kamenskih and that is how I am learning my Russian right now.

The video has lyrics on it. I am actually going to be lucky enough to meet her next year on my trip to Kiev.

Studying German just so I can sing this at karaoke nights =)

The video also shows some amazing moves.

quartz... ok, for some reason... as soon as I started watching that video I had a terrible flashback to...

A bit of a stretch but....Since there is some interest in German...quartz... here is song that is VERY popular right now and someone posted the lyrics in German on YouTube! It was released in Feb and the video in April and if you search for it on YouTube you will find several of versions with million plus hits!!

It is "Impossible" by Shontelle

Here is the music video for it:

Lyrics in German (hey Robin... make corrections if need be)
Ich erinnere mich Jahre zuvor
Sagte mir jemand ich sollte
Vorsicht nehmen, wenn es um Liebe geht
Ich tat, ich tat

Und du warst stark, ich war es nicht
Meine Einbildung, mein Fehler
Ich war achtlos, ich vergaß
Ich tat

Und jetzt, wenn alles getan ist
Gibt es nichts zu sagen
Du bist gegangen, so mühelos
Du hast gewonnen
Du kannst voraus gehen, ihnen sagen

Sag ihnen alles was ich jetzt weiß
Ruf es vom Dach
Schreib es auf den Himmel
Alles, was wir hatten ist nun vorbei
Sag ihnen, ich war glücklich
Und mein Herz ist gebrochen
All meine Narben sind offen
Sag ihnen, was ich hoffte ist
Unmöglich (4x)

Aus Liebe heraus zu kommen ist schwer
Für Verrat zu fallen ist am schlimmsten
Gebrochene Treue, gebrochene Herzen
Ich weiß, ich weiß

Daran glauben, alles was du brauchst, ist hier
Vertrauen auf Liebe zu bauen ist am schlimmsten
Leere Versprechen werden vergraben
Ich weiß, ich weiß

Und jetzt, wenn alles vorbei ist
Gibt es nichts zu sagen
Und wenn du fertig bist, mich zu blamieren
Kannst du auf eigene Faust
Voraus gehen und ihnen sagen

Sag ihnen alles was ich jetzt weiß
Ruf es vom Dach
Schreib es auf den Himmel
Alles, was wir hatten ist nun vorbei
Sag ihnen, ich war glücklich
Und mein Herz ist gebrochen
All meine Narben sind offen
Sag ihnen, was ich hoffte ist
Unmöglich (8x)

Ooh Unmöglich
Yeah Yeah

Ich erinner mich Jahre zuvor
Sagte mir jemand ich sollte
Vorsicht nehmen, wenn es um Liebe geht
Ich tat

Sag ihnen alles was ich jetzt weiß
Ruf es vom Dach
Schreib es auf den Himmel
Alles, was wir hatten ist nun vorbei
Sag ihnen, ich war glücklich (Ich war glücklich)
Und mein Herz ist gebrochen
All meine Narben sind offen
Sag ihnen, was ich hoffte ist
Unmöglich (8x)

Ich erinner mich Jahre zuvor
Sagte mir jemand ich sollte
Vorsicht nehmen, wenn es um Liebe geht
Ich tat

Dear Rockzmom, you made my day!

Basil.... so glad I made your day! You'll have to swing over to the TV thread or start a new one and tell me about the teletubbies and other odd shows and if they are in Russia or what you all make of them over there.I am soooo glad my girls have grown out of them!

=============================================

Almost a month ago I wrote about the song Airplanes by B.o.B featuring Hayley Williams, well, it is now in the #2 spot on Billboard top 100 and he has the #5 spot for his song Nothin' on You! http://www.billboard.com/charts/hot-100#/charts/hot-100. Airplanes was only released on US CD & urban radio on April 27th and there still is not a music video for it yet! It moved up the charts FAST!

One song my younger daughter found a while ago and I forgot to post about and now it is VERY popular here is "Bullet Proof" by La Roux and yet this song was released in June 2009. It has taken almost a year for it to become a hit!!! It really is interesting how some songs take a short time and others take so long or not at all...

Здесь точнее было бы сказать: сегодня я обнаружила.

И я бы сказал" на Нашем Радио". Равно как и "на Русском Радио", "на Серебряном дожде" и т.д. Говорим мы именно так.

There is actually a funny story about me and these little uglies, it's a bit embarassing but I'll tell it anyway. It happened about ten years ago. I was a 22 y.o. student then and used to live with my parents and my little sister (she was about 20 back then). This dumb show (teletubbies) was rather popular in Russia at that time and one could watch it every weekend on main TV channels. My parents went out to our dacha (summer cottage) for the week-end and I thought that my sister went with them. I was partying with my friends till late at night in some night club and when I came home I imediately fell asleep. When I woke up I had a little hangover, so I switched on my computer and desided to cure my hangover with a little flash game: Teletubbies mercy killing.

After playing it about a half of an hour my mood had greatly improved, I felt like: "Yeah, the life is good!" and went to the shower. I have a stupid habit to sing in a shower sometimes and that dumb teletubbies song happened to be rather catchy so I had started to sing it. After taking a shower I went out to the hall (naked) wiping my hair with a towel and singing this dumb song (remember, I thought that I was in the flat alone!). But my sister didn't go with my parents that day and stayed at home. She also invited one of her friends to stay for the night. They were sleeping in her room (of course I had no idea about that). So my sister's friend had heard my singing. We knew each other a little so she desided to came out and make fun of me. So imagine how her fun became greater and my embarassment when she came out to the hall and saw me singing the song naked! Of course she told my sister and their friends about this case and I really felt embarassing. Only If the song weren't so stupid! And even now some of my friends who have heard about this story are making fun of me telling it again and again.

I can't believe you would admit to singing that song (naked!)

Teletubbies, teletubbies...... Lalah, Poh....
Say "hello...... "

nice song huh... ?

That was a funny story....

A few years ago there was a really funny story about how lots of Americans thought that the Purple teletubby was GAY because he is male but always carries a handbag.... They didn't want their kids watching gay puppets... It's an English series, so English press got annoyed, There were some really entertaining headlines about it.

I think the Americans may be right though.. .Judge for yourself!
I doubt intended audience would care much though!

I can't believe that I have done this either! I guess you have corrected my mistakes so fast (thanks, btw!) to keep the text in quote in the case I deside to delete my post!

Извините пожалуйста мой оффтоп.

For the first several seconds of the clip I was knocked off by her looks, totally horrified by the ugliness of her face, her outlandish coiffure – by everything about her. Further along, when she began to sing it started coming to me that she had a nice voice, beautiful, very beautiful British accent, that every word of the lyrics, perfectly rhymed and pretty much understandable, fell exactly into its place in the rhythmic structure of the song. All in all, she set off growing on me. At the end of the song I almost thought she was beautiful ,and now, after listening to some other of her songs and several interviews, I can say I like her, like her very much.
Strangely enough I haven’t ever heard her played on any of our numerous FM radios, so for me it was definitely a short time.

Don't have a lot of time so I will have to come back to this... A new show started this week on FOX... The Good Guys and they used tons of old songs in it and OMG my older daughter actually liked one of them and it was of all things an AC/DC song!!! When I have time I'll have to watch the entire episode and make a list of all the old songs they used and post them as they brought back lots of memories along with the car the main character "Dan Stark as being actually a fantastic 1981 cop. He just hasn't moved along with the time. CSI stuff is like black magic." drives a 1979 Pontiac Trans Am!

So for your listening enjoyment and my pride as a mom....

Thunderstruck!

It's nice to know that there are some real people like you on the earth. Keep singing. You post interesting smileys that I don't see elsewhere. Post some more!

BASIL!!!

Now that I have another two minutes to spare here.. THANK YOU for sharing your story.... I told older daughter about it today and she could not stop laughing about it!!!

I think we need to start a new thread! Silly things we have done or our family members have done or have done to or family members. I expand as my poor dad usually had tricks played on him as he was outnumbered in the house and well... he also just seemed to have things happen to him like getting a cacti thorn stuck in his tongue! That was a good one.. imagine some one trying to talk with a cacti thorn stuck in tip of their tongue and asking YOU to take it out!

Back on topic, yesterday I bought myself the new album by Nevermore, "The Obsidian Conspiracy":

German darkwave -- click if you're a fan of goth/darkwave/neoclassical

Bacio di Tosca "Waldesgespräch" great voice

Some of their songs are really trippy ambient kind of stuff: Bacio Di Tosca "Scheidung" great track

Just when you think it can't get any better, it gets better when the guy does an "iggy pop" and takes off his shirt!!!
