Thank God for these awesometastic women

Joss Stone is my guilty pleasure. She's soulful, young, beautiful, and talented. There's this one Tuesday night when I was supposed to cook pasta for our monthly departmental lunch meeting at work. I have all ingredients laid on the table and I was vibing for some musical inspiration. Without even thinking, I fetched the TV remote and landed on Princess Diana's birthday celebration as I was channel surfing. After a few others played, the presenter cued in Joss Stone for her rendition of Queen's Under Pressure. It blew me away! I found myself grooving while my eyes are transfixed at the TV screen. I was even waving the chef's knife in my hand like I was one with the crowd in London. She effortlessly breathes emotion in her music while commanding the huge stage with her bare-foot presence like a nymph or a muse straight from Greek mythology. I found the song's intense moments to be the part where she goes "Why can't we give love..." and "just one more chance..." Watch the footage below and you be the judge.

Another thing I find myself doing more and more each passing month is watch Music Station on Animax. Last Friday, they had a beautiful lady named Stephanie as guest. She's pretty. She looks like a ramp or commercial model. No, she looks like someone a country would send to bloody Miss Universe or some other intergalactic beauty contest. And she has a long pair of nicely shaped legs. The hosts boast that she has a very superior vocal range capable of doing 5-octaves worth of melody. Bah, big deal, I said. When she sang, though, she does ridiculously high pitched tunes without even contorting her face to show signs of effort! I mean, WOW, freaky! Again, indulge me by watching the video footage below.

One other thing I still do is watch MTV. Not Mxy. The original MTV. I was chilling last night, waiting for Sandman to come and visit, when they aired this music video of The Editors in their SubTerraNean segment. You know how artsy music videos could be. Been that way since like eternally. Some producers put in a lot of work to come up with a unique concept. This one, entitled "Smokers Outside The Hospital Door," is like a mini-movie. Wait for the moment when the girl gets chased by the coastguard while she's rowing a wooden and see what she'll do. Damn, I've been dreaming of doing that for as long as I can remember!

Awesome.
