Mega Music Talent

CD Description

This set duplicates the Past Masters track listing with the exception of those tracks that only ever appeared in stereo. However, as an added bonus, five tracks, never previously released in mono, are included in the package. These are “Only A Northern Song”, “All T (more…)

Personally I think of Mega Music Talent as musicians who have a major natural talent for music, though there are some musicians who have a lesser talent but a greater showmanship than others. Some artists become superstars because of that higher level of showmanship whereas the more talented musicians might struggle more for recognition.

I’ve been thinking about some of the superstars from the last 50 years and trying to determine whether or not they achieved superstar status through raw talent, showmanship or both. Then I decided to choose my favourite superstars from each decade and explain why.

(1950s) Elvis – The King Of Rock And Roll

The third best selling recording artist of all time, American idol Elvis Presley was the first major pop or rock superstar. That guy had a lot going for him: smouldering good looks, sex appeal, showmanship, rhythm – he wasn’t called Elvis the Pelvis for nothing – and a good but not great singing voice. Those qualities combined to help Elvis achieve worldwide superstardom throughout the 50s, 60s and 70s. Even after his death in 1977 his songs have continuing popularity and reissues and remixes are still released over 30 years on.

Elvis made 31 musical films during the 60s. His acting wasn’t all that and the films themselves were a bit naff but they were still popular and a financial success. Probably because the ladies loved to drool over the sex symbol. My favourite 3 Elvis tracks are ‘Hard Headed Woman’, ‘In The Ghetto’ and ‘The Wonder of You’.

(1960s) The Beatles – Britain’s First Super Group

The Beatles phenomena emerged from Liverpool in the early 60s and they released their first hit single ‘Love Me Do’ in June 1962. It wasn’t long before they achieved worldwide success and although they stopped recording together in 1970, over 40 years on they are still the most successful top selling group ever. Many artists claim the Beatles as their influence and the band were so huge that even in remote areas of the world people knew who the Beatles were and even today lots of youngsters know their songs.

The group consisted of John Lennon, Paul McCartney, George Harrison and Ringo Starr. What they had going for them apart from their musicality was fresh good looks, cheekiness, likability and well marketed showmanship. Although John and Paul were the vocalists and main songwriters George and Ringo both contributed in the singing songwriting department. To me the 4 band members were the perfect fit and I wonder if the Beatles would have become such a legend without any one of them. Many of their early tracks were simple love songs but during the 60s their music evolved with the psychedelic age. My favourite 3 Beatles tracks are ‘I Am The Walrus’, ‘I Saw Her Standing There’ and ‘Here Comes The Sun’.

(1970s} Queen – And Not Her Majesty!

I was torn between several 70s super stars including Led Zeppelin, Abba, David Bowie and The Eagles, but my favourite 70s mega talent are English rock band Queen. Although Queen are listed as only 25th of the all time best music sellers in my opinion Queen were the ultimate in musical talent and showmanship. If I could go back in time and choose the artists that I would most like to see perform live it would be Queen with Freddie Mercury centre stage.

The band were formed in London in 1970 and consisted of Brian May, Freddie Mercury, John Deacon and Roger Taylor until Freddie Mercurys death in 1991. Now in 2008 Brian May and Roger Taylor still perform as Queen with the collaberation of Paul Rodgers. Although good Queen could never be the same without the mega vocalist – prancing, dancing drama queen Freddie Mercury. That guy was awesome to watch and listen to. The amazing video for their massive hit Bohemian Rhapsody is generally regarded to be the forerunner in music videos. My favourite 3 Queen tracks are: ‘Seven Seas Of Rhye’, ‘Crazy Little Thing Called Love’ and of course ‘Bohemian Rhapsody’.

(1980s) U2 – The Band!

Way down at number 97 of the all time music best sellers are the rock band U2 – but they have received 22 Grammy awards which is more than any other band. Bono, The Edge, Adam Clayton and Larry Mullen Jr are the band members who all come from Dublin in Ireland. U2 may seem a strange choice when there were other superstars around in that decade who achieved more but out of all of the big stars I find U2s often beautiful, haunting and anthemlike tracks the most memorable and they are the band still around today that I would most like to see live.

What I like about U2 apart from their music is that fame doesn’t seem to have taken away their humility. Individually and as a band they have consistently supported human rights and social justice causes – a band with good hearts. My favourite 3 U2 tracks all come from the Joshua Tree album and are: ‘With Or Without You’, ‘Where The Streets Have No Name’, and ‘I Still Haven’t Found What I’m Looking For’.

(1990s) Celine Dion – Her Majesty!

Canadian vocalist and songwriter Celine Dion is the all time 12th best music seller and is still releasing hits today. Although Canadian, Celine won the 1988 Eurovision Song Contest for Switzerland with the song ‘Ne Partez Pas Sans Moi‘. Many Eurovision Song Contest winners sink without trace – probably due to the cheesiness of the contest and the songs. Like Abba who won the contest in 1984 Celine went on to achieve well deserved worldwide fame and emerged in 1990 as one of the most talented divas ever.

Celine has a powerful voice with a great vocal range, probably shown off best in her massive hit ‘The Power Of Love’ a track which has become for many the ultimate love song. Although Celine displays some showmanship I believe that her singing talent is enough to make her a major superstar. A few years ago I interviewed a millionaire ex record company director who claimed to have discovered Celine in a Canadian bar. I came to the conclusion that he was having me on but who could blame somebody for wanting to discover such a talent! My 3 favourite Celine Dion tracks are: ‘Beauty and the Beast’ (a duet with Peabo Bryson), ‘I Drove All Night’ and ‘The Power of Love’.

(2000s) Linkin Park – Really!

Number 167 in the all time best music seller list American band Linkin Park get my vote as mega music talent of the 2000s. I almost chose Britney Spears as many others would, but I prefer listening to Linkin Park. The band consists of 6 members Brad Delson, Rob Bourdon, Mike Shinoda, Chester Bennington, Joe Hahn and Phoenix.

What I like about Linkin Park is their versatile rock, rap music with a conscience style – or indeed varying styles! They have been compared to U2 but the only thing I can see that they have in common with U2 is winning Grammy awards 2 as opposed to U2s 22, but there is time for them to win more yet. My favourite 3 Linkin Park tracks are: ‘What I’ve done’, ‘Given Up’ and ‘Breaking The Habit’,

There you have it, my favourite mega music talent by the decade. I could have included some more obvious names like Stevie Wonder, Michael Jackson, Madonna, Elton John, Pink Floyd, REM, Diana Ross and the Bee Gees, but the decision had to be based on who I believe to be the biggest mega stars of each decade. My prediction for the 2010s mega music superstar is the UKs Leona Lewis – what do you think?

Please comment below, let us know who you think the biggest superstars are and why. Do you agree or disagree with this post? Who do you think are going to be the mega music talent of the future?

Who would have thought a few months back that this 18 year old fresh faced singer from South Shields would win the 2009 X Factor final? Not me anyway. After the auditions I sort of favoured Jamie Afro, that was based on his great performance of Sex on Fire. Problem was that Jamie never set the stage on fire again so my attention turned to Miss Frank. This girlband was 3 contestants who were encouraged to form a group after they failed to get through to bootcamp. They were great, original and interesting and I’m sure will have a good future if they stay together.

I always liked runner up Ollie Murs, he is a great performer though I didn’t think that his singing voice was the best. Up until the last 3 weeks I would have chosen Olly over Joe because his performances entertained me more. Then I saw that Joe had constantly improved and that his confidence was growing. Suddenly young Joe McElderry was beginning to look like a contender. His voice is probably the best of all of the contestants with perhaps the exception of Danyl Johnson who came fourth.

In third place was Stacy Solomon, the Dagenham girl with the big voice. She never really did it for me until the last show where she sang the Freddie Mercury classic ‘Who Wants to Live Forever’ and performed a duet with Michael Buble. That duet was something else and to me was better than the Ollie Murs/Robbie Williams duet and the Joe McElderry/George Michael duet – to be honest I was disappointed in George Michael and thought that Joe outsang him. 

The final was one of the most entertaining shows that I have ever seen and included a performance by Sir Paul McCartney, the most successful singer songwriter ever. When the X Factor finalists joined him on the stage it must have been massive for them – or epic as Olly says.

Congratulations to Joe, a very worthy winner. Congratulations to Cheryl Cole who mentored her second winner in a row. Congratulations to all of the other finalists who never failed to entertain during the best X Factor year yet.

I love Joe Mc Elderry t shirt

Music is the voice of our heart, of our lives. I wanted to be that voice. I wanted to bring joy to the people around me. I wanted to share my pain, my hopes, and my dreams. Truth is singing is the only real thing for me. Sure there are loads of other intangible things that are considered to be real. There is education, love, freedom and justice. However, music transcends it all. It is an education for individuals who are poorer than a mouse. It is love for individuals who are unable to express what is inside of them. It is freedom for people who are suffering from social injustices. And, it is justice for all of us, for we are provided with a creative outlet for our ideas.

Perhaps like you, I was raised in the not-so-ideal neighborhood. My home was a door away from violence. Uncertainty seeped through the thin walls, like the cold winter’s air. Money was hard. My mother had to work three jobs for her to provide for us. It didn’t bother her as long as we have food, clothes and shelter. I love her more than anything because she provided us with an opportunity. My mother is no fool. She knows that sooner we hit middle school, no amount of love and protection can keep us safe from gangs, drugs and alcohol. How did she keep us on the straight and narrow? By sending me and my siblings to a local church’s free vocal lessons program.

Other kids would have begged their way out of attending free vocal lessons. But for me, it was heaven sent! I could not be happier! I get to do what I love and soon enough, what I will do best, which is singing.

The free vocal lessons program was spearheaded by the church to extend themselves to the community. We all have the notion of the church being an elitist organization, only catering to the rich and powerful. I was wrong. They do care. They too are aware of the dangers of the streets. To keep the next generation safe, they established programs that will help children find their passion, express their creative self, and embody the catholic faith.

Through the free vocal lesson program, I was able to learn how to sing properly. I found out that there is more to singing than belting and might I add sheepishly, yelling. Sure I have dreamed of becoming a diva, hitting those high notes with minimal effort. That dream was momentarily thrashed when I started doing it the proper way. There are breathing techniques to master, notes to understand and hit. I also learned discipline. I quit smoking because it will ruin my voice, aside from it being detrimental to my health. On another positive note, being healthy greatly improves your singing ability. I take better care of myself now, thanks to the free vocal lessons program. I eat less mucus-forming foods such as dairy and chocolates. I exercise regularly and conscious of my posture. Overall, the free vocal lessons I took gave me more than I bargained for.

Singing was only an opportunity presented for a better life. Music has been my passion, if not only for the glory it brings. With the free vocal lessons brought to me by the church, I not only glorify myself, but God as well. It is only right for me to use my talents to spread his love and goodness. I now sing in our church choir every Sunday. And before I know it, I am the one teaching the next batch of kids who were once lost in vices and poverty. I staunchly believe that someday, the same free vocal lessons will greatly impact their lives.

Have you ever wished you learned how to play the violin? Do you wish it was easy to learn violin? Well you may want to look here or a few tips to make learning the violin easier.

1. Getting the best learning system available. This should be your top priority to take in learning to play the violin. It does not necessarily mean that higher the fee, the higher the quality is too. All you need to look for is a proven system for learning violin but try to avoid buying a book because it is simply hard to digest and apply the steps just by reading the steps from a book. An actual performance or even through a video can go a long way in learning to play the violin.

2. Setting a time to learn. This is certainly important and you must free some time for practicing violin. You will need to look for times when things are quiet and it is not necessary for you to practice for hours everyday, what is important is that the time set for practices must be consistent.

3. Choosing a violin is also crucial. It does not need to be brand new but make sure that it still produces a nice sound.

4. Tuning the violin is essential in learning to differentiate the proper tone when playing so it is recommended for you to get an electric tuner which makes it a lot easier to determine if the violin is in tune or not.

5. Patience is certainly important in learning to play violin. Keep in mind that learning things especially playing violin cannot be perfected overnight. If you are feeling frustrated, place the violin down and take a break. Keep your mind off the violin for a while and come back later when you are ready to take on the lessons again.

6. Finding music you are interested in. Playing an instrument requires passion so it is recommended for you to take up the genre you are inclined to. This makes learning to play the violin fun.

7. Never quit. The very important part in learning to play the violin is by not giving up. It really takes time and effort to learn violin but eventually, it will all be worth it.

These tips above are tips to help motivate you in learning to play the violin. Sure it may take some time to perfect it but in the end, it will be worth it. This can be your way to express yourself.

I bet you are tired of reading the long list of tips and guidelines to play the violin. Remember, these tips came from experts who also started out like you. The best people to advice are those which have experienced the long and sometimes hard process of learning. It is through their experience that we learn, and hopefully not commit the same mistakes that they did. Playing the violin is not just a mere hobby; it cannot be quantified as such. Just like other beautiful things, it needs and necessitates passion. It is not something that we learn and then forget about. Instead, playing the violin is something that we all should learn, nurture, and share.

As a parent you always want to have the best for your kid, even in matters where you have decided to let him/her take piano lessons. If your child is motivated to take piano lessons or you have made the decision in letting them take proper piano lessons, it is a must to choose a credible piano instructor. You may have few or many options depending on your location. If you are in the city, then more likely, you can easily find an instructor.

You must make sure that the instructor you have chosen is a qualified one. The following are some guidelines to know if you have found a good piano teacher for your kid:

Interview ? The initial step of getting to know if a person has potentials is through interview. Select among the referral of your friends and make a schedule for interview on everyone that you have picked. If they don’t want to get interviewed or they are giving you charges for it, keep looking for more interested piano instructors. By conducting an interview, you can get to know many important details like:

Personality ? It is vital to consider the personality of the teacher. You must see to it that he/she is easy to get along with, that your child will feel relaxed or at ease with him/her. Let the teacher and your kid meet and see if they go along well together. If their personalities collide, then your child won’t learn the most during the lessons.

Experience ? When your child advances to the next level, you may find a need to search again for a different tutor. A few maybe credible in teaching the basics, but they are not qualified in teaching more complex lessons and skills. You must see to it that the one you will hire has a background on the basics in every level. Be wise enough to decide on things, or you will end up wasting your money to an ineffective tutor.

Method ? There are various methods of teaching that will provide your kid the knowledge that they need in piano playing. Some are quite effective while some are not. As a parent, you know your child very well. And therefore, it is your responsibility to ask the teacher if what type of method she uses in imparting his/her skills. So that he/she will have the idea if she will use the book often or more on hands-on exercises. Does your child need visual stimulation like colored drawings or pictures? These are things you need to consider. And it is important to recognize if the piano teacher will be able to cater your kid’s learning skills.

Technique ? The method is the control the teacher uses while technique is how he/she moves toward the method and adapt it to every kid. Is he/she enduring and flexible? We all know that kids get bored and upset easily. It is prime to consider that he/she is aware of the necessity of breaks and motivation.

A piano tutor who is aware that the lessons should include games for it to be fun and enjoyable is suited to teach your kids. The children will surely love attending the class.

At last a truly grown-up approach to learning the piano. Pam Wedgwood, author of many popular piano series, takes you through the rudiments of piano technique and music theory in her own friendly style that’s guaranteed to get results. The book is organized into clearly structured progressive units with a fabulous array of music t (more…)

As a new learner, it may seem confusing to look at all the black dots on the sheet music. You may ask yourself, what is the purpose of all those things? The questions you are asking now need to be answered right away for you to play the piano easily and become a cool pianist. Is it easy to learn piano for starters like you? Yes, definitely. Good piano courses will give you a hand in learning what the black dots and lines symbolize which will aid you in learning to play the piano in a short period of time.

Put in mind that not all piano courses offered online are created in the same way. Different instructors have their way of teaching piano. Some may teach in a very confusing manner which will make people stop learning. Do not take the same path as them. Be wise and make sure that you are truly availing appropriate lessons. You can find them in the internet if you are patient enough to browse them. Choose a course that gives information in a clear-cut manner for you to be able to get a hold of it for a long time.

Is it easy to learn piano? Absolutely yes. It has been discovered that a great way to memorize all those lines and black dots and what they represent is by using games. The games enable an individual to best retain the information compared to other learning methods and by just merely reading it. Both constant practice and learning the piano through games will make the learning process of the beginners easier and faster.

Another thing to consider is that learning must also involve having fun. Games in such a way make it fun and enjoyable. No matter how great the end results may seem, people tend to give it up if the course syllabus is quite dull. It is annoying and disappointing to enroll in a program that is so boring and you couldn’t help but ask yourself why you chose such course. Look for online lessons that contain games as a part of the learning process and you will learn faster than you can imagine.

Hands-on learning is great. A good course must include audio and video demonstrations of what they will teach. It is quite simpler to show the hand and finger exercises on videos than explain it detail by detail.
You need to find a great course that gets you playing an actual piano as quickly as possible. You will learn much quicker if you actually have your hands on the piano while you are learning. You can find a couple of great courses that offer all of this on the Internet.

Learning the piano involves a definite decision of hard work and practice. You have to be ready to meet up the different challenges along the process of learning and you have to deal with it calmly. Once you stick to it, you’ll become a good pianist in no time.

Backstreet’s back, alright! It was only appropriate for the boy band that shook the world in the late ’90s to be a part of the craze that started it all, and the Backstreet Boys (minus Kevin Richardson) fit right in as they celebrated the pop culture delight that is (or rather, was) MTV’s “Total Request Live” last week. The Backstreet Boys, busy jet-setting the nation on their current string of tour dates, took time out of their exhausting schedule to perform at the “TRL Finale” last week, making the now-20-something women’s eyes mist as nostalgia took over when the quartet performed their early hit “I Want it That Way” for the energetic crowd.

Last week’s “TRL Finale” marked the end of a 10-year domination of pop music on air that all began with the growing teen pop craze of the ’90s, launching the careers of Britney Spears, Christina Aguilera, *NSYNC and the Backstreet Boys. “TRL” was one of MTV”s most influential franchises, bringing in celebrities and fanatic crowds alike, and the show’s finale included many of those stars in the hours-long performance, making the program go out with a bang. Celebrities like Eminem, Beyonce, Kid Rock, Justin Timberlake, Diddy, Nelly, Snoop Dogg, Ludacris, Fall Out Boy and more were all present at the MTV bash, and former VJs like Carson Daly, Vanessa Minnillo and Hilarie Burton were all brought back to help host the program’s very last show. The only star from the “TRL” era missing at the show seemed to be Britney Spears, whose video “?Baby One More Time” will forever be considered a “TRL” commodity.

Emerging in the overwhelming tidal wave of the teen pop era, the Backstreet Boys blew up “TRL” request lines in 1998 with songs like “Quit Playin’ Games (With My Heart)” and “As Long as You Love Me.” The incredible boy band started with cousins and Kentucky natives Kevin Richardson and Brian Littrell, who practiced Boys II Men-type songs before meeting up with the Orlando-hailed Howie Dorough and A.J. McLean and New Yorker Nick Carter, inking a deal with Jive Records in 1994. The Backstreet Boys tested their very new boy band approach in Europe before coming back over to the U.S., releasing their debut album Backstreet Boys in 1997. From this point on, the Backstreet Boys were huge. Selling millions of copies of all of their albums and selling out Backstreet Boys tickets to screaming throngs of teenage girls across the nation, the five-piece boy band saw dozens of platinum hits, reaching number ones on the Billboard charts with close to every song they released in the late ’90s and early ’00s including “I Want It That Way,” “Shape of My Heart” and “Show Me the Meaning of Being Lonely.”

The boy band craze of the teen pop dream eventually died down, but the Backstreet Boys persisted through it all. Despite lawsuits over royalties, Littrell undergoing heart surgery, McLean’s stint in rehab and Richardson quietly stepping away from the group, the Backstreet Boys still continue to pull their dance-pop thread through the needle of changing times, releasing Unbreakable in 2007 and thereafter embarking on a national tour. If you missed your chance to see these energetic heartthrobs take over the stage in the ’90s, get concert tickets from http://www.stubhub.com/backstreet-boys-tickets before it’s too late!

The violin is one of the most common instruments used for playing classical music. Although this is the case, there are also some who has managed to bring the wonderful sound of violin into a much modern genre.

Wouldn’t it be nice if you too could play it? And wouldn’t it be satisfying to know that you have worked hard to earn something ? this time a skill, playing the violin.

Playing the violin is a wonderful art that we wish we can all learn how to do. We wish that it will be easy to learn and we start browsing lots of books to get all the information we want. But learning how to play the violin does not always depend on books. It needs correct knowledge and proper learning.

Before we start learning the basics, we must first ensure that we have a lesson-based system that we can easily follow through. We do not need to spend much money to buy books on violin and read them because chances are; most of us do not understand what we read. We just need a step by step procedure that is like having an instructor that guides us as we learn. Then we can now start choosing the instrument that fits us. It doesn’t have to be expensive and expert-made. As long as the violin sounds good and can hit the right tune or notes, we can use it for our practice. We can learn tuning the violin so that we will know when our violin does not sound good and we can do adjustments to it in order to play the right notes.

Next, we can choose the song that we want to play and start learning how to play the violin. The kind of music we must learn is the kind that we love because more success can be gained when we do something that we love. It does not mean that we do not have to learn other genre, we just have to start on something that best interest us.

Then after having the right music, we must set a specific time in a day and choose a good venue where we can concentrate on our practices. The time and place we choose must ensure that we will not be disturbed and we can practice continuously.

As we go on our routine of practices, there are times that we get frustrated because some of us cannot learn fast. If we find ourselves getting angry, we must rest for a while and come back playing when we feel that we are capable again to practice. We will find in no time that we are actually gaining progress on our learning and our efforts are paid of.

Playing the violin requires effort and patience. The key attitudes to possess when we want to learn how to play the violin are hard work and the determination to learn. Once we learn the techniques, we’ll start appreciating the art of playing the violin.

Your world will not be complete if there is no music. However, gone are the days when you have to buy those large black discs which are as big as your plates or those hideous cassette tapes. You do not even have to buy cd’s because if you are a true blue music lover, you just need an mp3 player which you can fill with songs downloaded from music download sites. Indeed, these sites prove to be a rich treasure chest of songs for every music lover out there. You only need to make a few clicks with your mouse and then, voila, you will have the music of your choice.

Though the music download sites are everywhere, you need to be very cautious of them. You also have to be aware of the copyright regulations of the music which are offered in the sites. Though it is but easy to download and enjoy the music offered in these sites, you would not wish to face a recording industry lawsuit which may just take away all of your savings because you forgot the copyright regulations since you were so excited with your newly found music haven. Some of these download sites offer free music downloads; on the other hand, some require payment before you can download the tracks or the songs. Before you click and agree with the terms and conditions of the site as well as before you provide the information about your credit card, you must first know if the music offered in the sites are legal. Checking if the music is offered legally will ensure that you are not wasting your money but instead, getting its worth. Even if the sites which offer unlimited music at no charge are such a temptation, sometimes, it pays to be wary of these sites and eliminate them from your list. More often than not, a new and hopeful artist will post his music on the Internet and you can download the songs for free. You still have to be wary since there is always the possibility that the artist or someone will sue you for downloading that music. Aside from the music of these upcoming artists, you also have to exercise caution when faced with the list of download networks or sites which allow complete and totally free access to the songs of famous bands and artists. These sites smell fishy, don’t they?

So what are the best music download sites for the music lover? If you are really a music lover and your world will stop revolving if there is no music around you, you will not have second thoughts in downloading music from sites which charge costly download fees. Once you have checked if the download site is legal, you may go through the various membership and purchase options offered by the site. Go through these options and select what you think will work best for you. Some sites do not ask for membership fees since they offer a per download charge to their customers. To make sure that you are getting your money’s worth, you may make use of the sites features such as the free preview of the music short clips.
