once

i guess once is not enough. i want more out of them. so they did produce an album called the swell season. glen hansard and marketa irglova once again reunited to make this album and now they are on a tour to promote it. I found out a bit too late and the tickets were already sold out for their performance in seattle. i searched craigslist, ebay and found out how ridiculous the prices that those brokers offered!!! original price probably around $50 and they are selling it for more than $150 a piece. i wish they had a law against those brokers... preventing them from buying tickets in large number and if they are not from the area, they won't be able to purchase tickets.

leona lewis

I just found out about leona lewis couple days ago. One of her songs, bleeding love, really caught my attention. Apparently she won the x factor (UK version of american idol). She has great voice, almost a mix of alicia keys and mariah carey. she can hold high notes pretty good but all of her song selections was typical ballad/slow music. here is bleeding love (for some reason they disabled the embedding function): http://youtube.com/watch?v=sF84pIhP5UM&feature=user

here's one of her live performances on x factor :


she can sing live pretty good. we'll see how she's doing couple years from now.

*someone left a comment and gave me this link to her renditions of run by snow patrol:
