passion: singing

how many times did people touch your life? does it come easily, through sheer determination, hardwork or both? singing is one of the greatest things to touch our hearts very very easily. i can relate that with the American Idols Kelly Clarkson, Carrie Underwood and newly-crowned Jordin Sparks. when you know that you've done better than you've expected, like for example hitting a key that you've never thought you would have achieved or sang in a soothing, yet powerful tone.

the recap
after intensively listening to Jordin Sparks' recent weeks' performances, i truly would have crowned her the 2007 Idol title. She has done herself proud by choosing perfect songs "Broken Wing", "I Who Have Nothing", "She Works Hard for the Money" - these are songs that can showcase her range and top-notching vocals. Her winning song and single "This Is My Now", to me, is very special, especially the lyrics and the way she sang it was magnificent, constantly reminding me how Carrie Underwood closed both Final Performance and Finale nights with "Inside Your Heaven". In the market now, Jordin and Carrie would be fighting for the best debut album sales when Jordin's album releases hopefully by year's end.

the formula
all winning singles (if i'm not wrong) have hit #1 on the Billboard Hot 100 for the past few years, so, I think "This Is My Now" would be no exception. they all have the winning formula of having slow/mid-tempo and inspirational lyrics. every singer longs to have one (should be) as it can project their vocals and attract listeners.

the experience
i've passed the youth ministry worship team auditions and carried on with the interview earlier today. i'm truly thankful that God has led me to this route and i really wanna repay back what he has done for me all these while. it has truly been a great time for me, listening to all the Christian music, which has the same feeling as the winning songs of american idol.
