talent

Now, I'm no expert...but I can keep a tune and every now and then I find myself on stage w/ a mic (currently, it's pretty limited to weddings and funerals :). That being said, in this past year I have kinda quit listening to the radio. Other than talk. Yep, I said talk radio.

"What has happened?" you ask.

Well, to be honest...there's a whole lotta talent-less people out there who are topping the charts.

[I could go on a long tangent (yawn) on our culture and how we make celebrities out of people who have no talent at all, but that's not what I'm here for.]

Anywho, what I am here to do is to share with you some pretty amazing talent that I happened to stumble upon via the world wide web.

Anybody ever heard of Karmin? They're a girl-guy duo made up of Amy + Nick, and they are uber talented. I have to admit that I haven't heard any of their original songs, but they do a ton of covers (check out their YouTube covers page). Be warned: some of those covers are better than the originals! The most surprising part? Amy raps. Really darn well. I had so much trouble choosing just one video to share, so here are two.

I mean, her hair!

And then there's The Voice. I love it. I don't even love the four judges, but I love the way they work with the show. Seriously. This duet was the best one in the Battle Round, and it totally worth sharing.

Now, that's some talent!
