Celine “A Woman, Beautiful and Blessed”

February 28, 2008

Some blessings just never quit and Celine is one of those rare people that we can depend upon for the best in performance and voice!  She is definitely the “queen of the long note” and what a voice and what a performer!  We are always so incredibly blessed when we see her, whether live, TV or on video.  Her recent CBS Special “That’s Just The Woman In Me” was really excellent and we loved all of her performances and songs.  How much?  Enough to create several videos and put them up.  Jump over and enjoy her performances:

We Love the voice of Sissel!  We had the opportunity to see her “Northern Lights” special on PBS recently and adored it. It was beautifully performed and just a stunning video. We were fortunate to tape it and of course, made a special video for YouTube viewing. Have a very special treat and see this special video we have put together:

SISSEL, NORTHERN LIGHTS, HALLOWED MOUNTAINS & HYMN TO WINTER

This video performance is available for purchase at your favorite music retailer.

Michael Buble…the name on everyone’s lips these days.  The charming and self-called “irresponsible” guy is pretty responsible for getting the job done vocally and creating fantastic music and charming his fans!  For his fans, we are all “gushy” over his nominations for Grammy’s and Juno’s and of course, for all those newly added concert dates.  Yours truly will be seeing another concert in Hershey in April and yes, I do plan to photograph him! (Who wouldn’t? — he’s completely adorable to photograph!).  In celebration of Michael’s success, I have “customized” some of my photography from his Patriot Center-Fairfax concert.  I hope you enjoy them as much as I love shooting him.  Congratulations Michael on your much-deserved success!

Idina Menzel – Brave “I Stand”

February 6, 2008

One of our favorite new albums is Idina Menzel’s “I Stand” – She is pretty incredible and amazing on stage.  About the album:  “Idina Menzel’s Warner Bros. Records debut album, “I Stand” is a powerful collection of exquisite new songs written by the Tony Award winning actress/singer/songwriter. With Idina’s one-of-a-kind soaring voice and the talent of legendary Grammy winning producer Glen Ballard, the final outcome is an album filled with pop tunes and heartfelt ballads—intimate yet universal stories of life, its challenges, relationships and of course – the subject of love.” 

We love to promote new music that is worthy and Idina’s artistry and vocals meet that test.  Have a watch and listen to her  “Brave” video… just gorgeous!  [This album makes a great Valentine gift too!]

All about Idina:

p.s. You may recall Idina is performing with Josh Groban on the London stage in the production of “Chess” in May 2008. See our posts here for more info.
