The title isn't supposed to sound like I'm disbelieving, because I'm not! After years of hearing the worst singers in the world and then finally hearing some of the best in early 2008 I know what I'm talking about when I say that Justin can in fact sing quite well. He sings some of the stupidest kinds of songs (I'm mostly hating on the genre) but he does have a talented voice.
About this age makes voices deeper topic that seems to constantly come up whenever Justin is mentioned. . . Have you people never heard of Tenors?! Come on! Men 4 times the age that Justin is have higher pitched voices than Justin most likely ever will but you don't hate on them. Why is that, do you think? Does it all come down to jealously in the end? He made it big on youtube and you still can't reach 1,000 views? Or maybe it is the fact that he has the adoration of millions of people while you only have the support of your family and friends that you pretty much think is embarrassing? If you think your family and friends support is embarrassing, how will you ever handle having millions of girls behind you in your career?
Here is a little something I want yous to read...
I was at the taping of Justin Bieber's 3D concert in NYC and when he sang, "Somebody To Love," his mic pack detached from his trousers because he was hanging upside down. Now if he had been lip syncing, his voice would have continued but his part of the song went silent.
Still think he can't sing? If you do, at least now you know that you're musically impaired and have no sense of true vocal talent what. so. ever. Yes, there are other young male singers who have better voices than Justin, for example, Andrew Johnston, Liam McNally, Harry Mondryk, Declan Galbraith. But at one time in the latter two lads lives they sounded like female singers. The first two lads I mentioned are boy sopranos. They are in the same vocal category as adult women. When they reach adulthood, they have a better chance of becoming tenors. Justin, if his voice has already changed, is a tenor. It's perfectly normal. He's quite lucky too, because being a tenor but not having an extremely operatic voice gives Justin the change to do a very wide range of songs from pretty much every genre of music. If he would just break away from the genre he is in now, we'd see much better songs from him.
ReConnected singing Baby by Justin Bieber
(H.M. does the best of the three. He's the one in the middle. Yes, they're British.)
(I just found out that Andrew Johnston sings Bright Eyes! I'm being really nice sharing it with yous!)
Andrew Johnston's missing album song
(This is a rare Declan Galbraith song. Perfect for bringing in the new year. He was ten when he sang this. Ten. Wow!)

A year (or more) in my life (centered around T.B.)
This is a spur-of-the-moment blog. Deal with it. :)
So it's 6 June 2009 and here I am, sitting in the sitting room watching the telly because... BBC's Robin Hood is on. It's a brand new episode and it is going into Robin's past (when his dad was still alive). I see the young Robin and the young Guy of Gisborne and his wretched sister. I think absolutely nothing about any of the young characters except for a passing thought that Guy is cuter when he was younger and the lad who plays the young Robin is adorable but Jonas is still the best (and better looking) Robin. (He's Irish, OF COURSE he's better looking!)
Skip ahead to 1 January 2010. The day Angus, Thongs, and Perfect Snogging finally premiered in the United States on Nickelodeon. (Okay, so I cheated the week before and watched it on youtube, but this specific thing didn't dawn on me until I watched it on Nickelodeon. No, not me realizing that the guy who played Robbie wasn't in fact Jackson Rathbone, but was the same guy who played Charlie Chaplin in Shanghai Knights. AKA Aaron Johnson. That happened when I was watching it on youtube. The scene where it was raining was when I remembered Aaron.) Anyways, that night I watch the movie, see Dave the Laugh ( Dave ) and all of a sudden I have this nagging feeling (for the rest of the film and a whole week after) that I've seen him before and I know who he is but I couldn't for the life of me figure it out! Finally after that week was gone I got tired of having that unknown dude constantly running through my thoughts so I googled the movie and looked at the cast list. I found 'Dave the Laugh' on the right side, looked on the left side and saw that Dave was portrayed by a lad called Tommy Bastow. I clicked on Tommy's name and was taken to the actor page. I scrolled down to look at the list of movies and telly programmes he had done and low-and-behold, there it was (still is), Thee episode. I was like this without the screaming. That actually surprised me a great deal! Not the not screaming bit, that's pretty normal me not screaming. It was the programme he was in that surprised me.
Now we skip ahead yet again to 7 January 2011. I found out last year around this time that Tommy is in a band called FranKo. I looked the group up on youtube and I still listen to their songs a whole year later. They must have some shred of talent if they can hold my interest this long. :) Night time is the one I most listen too, have a listen yourself if you like! (I just became their 1,374th subscriber on youtube.) And while you're at it, take a listen to their new music video, Love For Fame.
No. I swear I'm not one of their publicists. :P
Until my next blog!

Photos
So Jess has got me looking at photos of Cameron Crigger (AKA Cameron Bright) and I am absolutely postitive that there is nothing special about him in a good way! In a weird way? Of Course! ...
Oh great, she just found out that I don't hate Justin Bieber like every other pre-pubescent girl and their mams in America and here is the conversation that ensued...

I really hope you dislike Justin Bieber too. Otherwise we can't be friends anymore ;)
alright. it was nice knowing you! 3:)
heeheeheehee :D
Hey you sent me that Black Swan CamCrigga picture.
I hold you in high regards right now
:D
I knew it! And just so you know, because I sent you that picture you've dropped off my friends list.
:P
:) :) :)
:) :)Alright, let's get introductions over with.
I'm a girl. There, I'm done.
Kidding! Well not really, but I'll force meself to think of something intelligent to say for this. Eh, hang on really quick. I'm editing (trying to edit) a photo right now....
4 minutes later:
I've given up on the photo editing program I was using. The best photo editing programs that are online would probably be fotoflexer and picnik. But nothing is updated on those sites so it does become boring. The only thing that makes it fun is the photos I decide to edit.
My name is Jill. I'm still a teenager, thank God! I live in America and no matter what ANYONE says or does I will always want to get out of this country. I personally cannot stand it here. (You'll find fairly quickly that I tend to speak/type like a British person so get used to the proper way to say/spell words!) Unlike most teen girls my age, I'm extremely refined in movies and music and books and I really do not follow the crowd.
In depth interests:
Movies; I rarely watch any movies these days, so Un-American like. I'd rather be talking to my friends or out walking. When I do feel like watching a film, it will most likely be... The Little Vampire (SO much better than that S. Meyer series and it's been around a lot longer too. I sometimes think S. Meyer got her idea for the Twilight series from The Little Vampire. TLV: They drink from cows, not humans. Twi: They drink from animals, not humans. TLV: They want to become human again. :Twi: Most of them anguish because they can't be the one thing they wish they could be again: Human. At least in The Little Vampire, the vampires were more based off of Bram Stoker vampires! They don't sparkle like a diamond. They can't handle the light. They have fangs...)
Angus, Thongs, and Perfect Snogging. I can not say enough good things about this movie! (That's my way of saying I haven't watched it in months but I like it enough to watch it if I have nothing else to do.)
ACK! I gotta ramble about this!
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=S3XMNy51cUk&feature=player_embedded
Celtic Thunder Heritage Sizzle Reel. FINALLY. They've gone back to the group I came to love! No more ridiculous show tunes or overdone songs. I still can't stand Sharon, but I'm glad she went back to the lads roots.
"Home From the Sea" is thee perfect song to show off how well the lads voices blend.
"The Dutchman" is probably going to be a quick favourite of mine because Keith is playing Ms. G! :D I've been waiting for Keith to have another M.O.M. song and it was given to me- I mean us! And it's awesome that he's sitting on a replica of a Newgrange stone!
(Okay, where are their microphones? In the first show they had the small nearly invisible ones, then they had those over-sized resembles a wart microphones, now there isn't any? Dear Lord, tell me they aren't lip synching!)
"Black is the colour of my true loves hair". WOW. I actually like Ryan's voice in this. I won't say anymore because if I did there would be a 'but' in the next sentence.
"Twilight?" I like it, it's soft and can possibly be calming after a hectic, long day. Paul and Damo's voices blend well at times. I'll stop now on this one too. I'm trying to not be critical of anything until I get the CD/DVD and listen/watch the whole thing.
"Whiskey in the jar-o". Oh lord. I'm not even going to say anything. No, I will. They should have left the feckin' words out! Keith played the red guitar very well and I like the music more than the lyrics.
"Peace of the Valley." Ohhh, so beautiful! *swoons* YOU GO NEIL! ♥ xx
*screams bloody murder* I CAN'T BELIEVE THIS SONG IS IN HERE! I FECKIN LOVE THIS SONG! I CAN'T FOR THE LIFE OF ME REMEMBER THE NAME OF THIS SONG! AND THIS IS WHAT MADE ME TAKE UP PLAYING THE TIN WHISTLE! OMG. O.O
All God's creatures have a place in the Choir. I like this one a LOT! WTF is with the stupid jazz hands though? That did NOT fit.
Okay back to movies I like.... Or not. I can't think of anymore. So now it's on to music. again.
Anything from the U.K. and Ireland. FranKo, ReConnected, Scouting For Girls, La Roux, et cetera.
Tele programmes: Most are from the U.K. which you probably have guessed by now. Most of them are sitcoms. Except for 2006's Robin Hood, Doctor Who, and Primeval. The sitcoms I watch are As Time Goes By, Keeping Up Appearances, The Vicar of Dibley. Online British programmes would be Nearly Famous. Very short programme. around six episodes and the ending completely threw me for a loop. I haven't watched it since I found out that Aaron Johnson became engaged to a lady old enough to be his mam. I suppose I'm not against it but it is a bit weird. I love Burnistoun! I still laugh every time someone says Eleven.
BWAAAHAHAHAHAHA! *coughs* Excuse me! *clears throat*
Friends: Ooooo hooo, what a topic that is! I wonder where I should start?
Jess: The nutty Opera fanatic who's true love is a noodle and likes to get into heated discussions with anyone and anything about anyone and anything?
Or maybe Mindy, who is heartbroken that Paul Byrom has left Celtic Thunder to move less than 8 hours away from her in pretty much the same state?
Aunt Perri: The first aunt I have whose name doesn't start with the letter C and it turns out that when her and my mam were younger they looked like twins?
Tam: My first CT sister who lives only... 3? hours away and we have SO MUCH in common with?
Interests: Reading comedy books/series. Not fanfiction. Most fanfiction I've come across is Horrible! Learning new songs on the tin whistle. Playing footy and learning archery. Editing photos (see top of blog post).
That's about it for now. I have to get on fb because I'm having boredom withdrawls. LOL
Until my next blog post!
