Share it
Let me first start out by saying I was on Nationwide Radio in Kingston, Jamaica promoting an expo. I am the Event Officer for the expo. I didn’t want to appear on the programme but I eventually did. People who listened to the broadcast expressed that they were impressed and liked the delivery.
I have a personal issue that I will be working on. My demeanour does not speak of my potential and abilities. I hope I am expressing myself well. Most people who know me do not really KNOW ME. I appear to be reserved, laid back, unenergetic and conservative. Although that may be true, I have the ability to turn on the energy when needed. Some folks today call it an alter ego. I may be reserved but when the opportunity presents itself I turn into a total different person full of energy and life. It causes people who will offer opportunities to hold back because they don’t know what I am truly capable of.
I am a talented young man who is really underutilised in my job. So today, when I turned on the alter ego (no name for that person yet) my boss was really overwhelmed and seemed particularly impressed with my delivery. I want to get to the place where I turn it on all the time. I just hope I won’t turn people off.
You can’t have your cake and eat it, I guess.
Dancing with the Stars
Last night I watched the finale of the Dancing with the Stars. It was an entertainment night, filled with excitement and of course the revelation of the winner of the season. It was a surprise to see Donny Osmond win over Mya. I really think with all my heart that Mya would have taken the trophy home. I wanted to see her win. Her dance routine not ignoring her partner were always excellent and it reflects the perfect scores she received in the season.
However, the point must be noted that the core target audience may just have voted more for the winner. Clearly, if the winner was decided on the fact of delivery over the season then Mya would have won. Some people would argue that Kelly should have won based on the fact that she was the most improved. The fact is voting process was used and sometimes it isn’t fair.
My Favourite MYA
So of course, with Donny winning someone else would have taken the night. Whitney Houston was simply fantastic. I will only say this – her addictions may have affected her voice but she certainly can still deliver a great performance. Her songs on the night, I am still on cloud nine over it. Sorry! The videos are posted below for your viewing. The last song on the first video is one of my favourites from Houston so you could imagine my excitement and jumping in the house when she started to sing it. I have also posted a video of the song “I wana dance with somebody” from Whitney Houston back in the days. I have posted it because this is the real performance of the song. Enjoy.

I agree with GayteKeeper, I love me some Whitney but that is an IMPOSTOR singing Whitney Houston songs!! She is no longer The Voice.
Cute blog, though.
(I also couldn;t figure out how to add a comment except through replying to another post.)

man it aint so easy to comment on this thing. I wandered over here out of curiousity following your post on that wordpress round up and lo and behold you’re talking about one of my fave shows. Mya shoulda won? I think not. She just had this dullness to her personality and was a bit too full of herself AND she went to dance school when she was a kid…I dunno perfect tens every week just gets a bit boring after a while. There you go… a new comment 4ya.

I took a Meyers Briggs personality test and it labeled me an introvert. People at work wondered if I took it wrong or scored it wrong because I am an extrovert at work. I say introvert is my natural tendency but extrovert is what I have to do. If you put me in a crowd of people I didn’t know outside of work, I would be sitting in the corner by myself.

Congratulations on your radio interview Corve! There’s a reason God gave you talent and He’ll continue to open doors for you…I’ve learned as I’ve gotten older that both the peaks and the valleys in my life are all working together for good and that blessings and opportunities do come to those who have faith, patience (lots of it!), and are willing to be humble, to continue learning, and to continue working hard at cultivating their gifts and talents!

I did a post recently on my love for Whitney. I adore her new album. Yes her voice as deepened but it’s still amazing.
