Susan Boyle - Overnight Stardom from Britains Got Talent 2009

This is crazy! While I was watching the news, they showed a video of Susan Boyle singing on Britains Got Talent. Next I see my dad watching this on Youtube. What a BUZZ this is. This person's name - Susan Boyle from Blackburn, Scotland, keeps popping up on news, blogs and on Youtube.

Can you believe that one of the video has over 12 Million views from only a few days. If you add up all the videos relating to her, I believe there will be around 20 Millions views! This event just happened recently on April 11 2009 and overnight, Susan Boyle is famous all around the world.

Now she even has a fan site at www.susan-boyle.com, which you can check out all the buzz going around there.

Still don't know what I'm talking about, watch the video below.

I couldn't find a way to embed the video on this page because all the embedding was disabled by request. Don't worry, just click on the link and it will open in a new tab/window. Just remember to come back to my blog to finish reading the rest of the post. =)

After watching this video, what do you think? What I can say is "Never judge a book by its cover". That's what many of us do. Just look at the face and reactions of the judges - Simon Cowell, Amanda Holden and Piers Morgan. They were totally stunned. Even the crowd was wowed by Susan Boyle's singing.

She Even got interviewed by news stations. Watch this video of Susan Boyle being interviewed by BBC Reporting Scotland of her feelings about the reaction to her amazing performance on Britains Got Talent.



That's all for the BUZZ.

If you have something to say or comment about, please feel free to.

Have a great day ahead of you.

Ben The Drummer's First Drum Cover

Hey guy, how are you doing? This post just came out from the blue and it's not on My List Of Things To Update. I'm very excited to inform you that I just had my first drum cover up on YouTube!

I was not aware that my friend - Alan would upload this recording of me playing during the praise & worship for the youth service in my church. After seeing him recording me, I was thinking "Great, now I get to see myself playing on the drums!" What I only knew was that he was just testing out some stuff. At around 1am that night (14/2/09), BAMM! I see my video clip up on YouTube and it was on his blog. I was shocked at first, but it was nice seeing myself playing. =)

Actually this is not the first time I see myself playing on the drums, but this is the first time it's recorded with a video cam, not a crappy video cam from the handphone.

A few months back at September before we had our last I.G.NITE! for the year 2008, I planned to record the whole praise & worship session, but too bad, until the last minute we could not find a video cam to record it. By the way it was also the bands' guitarists' last time playing with the band because he leaving for US to further his studies. I was really disappointed and it was a waste because the music for that night was awesome!! I had never played at that level before and the band was really on form and on fire for God. I was really sad as well because that was the last time playing with Ivan.

Okay, back to the video. The title of the song is - 'Til I See You from Hillsong United.

I have to say in the beginning, I was a bit blur because I forgot that I was suppose to start. My bad. Oh yea the tempo sped up a bit before going into the 2nd verse. And way back almost at the end of the song I made a mistake. I don't know why for one part Alan record my K-Swiss shoes. Hahaha... Check it out for yourself!



I hope you enjoyed watching it. So what do you think about my first drum cover? Does it suck or was it just so so, average or very good?

I need a favor from you guys to go over to my video on Youtube to leave you comments and rank the video as well or you can also leave your comments on my blog. Why not do both. I'll really appreciate your comments and feedbacks.

Oh yea I almost forgot to show you guys a few comments that was left on Alan's blog.
