A voice of an angel

She's got a gift.
The gift of song.
The voice of an angel.
Lisette Vares is her name.

It all began on July 4th, 2007, I was browsing through some artist profiles on myspace as I came across hers. I was puzzled at first. She was from Sweden, and yet her songs were in English. I began listening to her songs "Runaway", "Together We Lost" and "Dream Of Love". A cold chill ran down my spine. What was that? I asked myself. I suddenly realized it was the power of emotion from Lisette's songs. The emotion of passion. The emotion of love. The emotion of struggle. All combined in her songs. It was amazing.

As I began to browse through her profile, I suddenly caught a glimpse of something that shocked me:

SHE WAS ONE OF THE BACKING VOCALISTS/DANCERS FOR THE MALTESE PERFORMANCE OF "VERTIGO" AT THE EUROVISION SONG CONTEST!!!!!

"That was HER?!" I asked myself. I saw the photos. I was shocked that I came across one of the backing vocalists/dancers from my favourite performance/song in the ENTIRE contest! I instantly messaged her, congratulating her on the amazing performance and all the hard work she and the crew put together. After a day, I got a reply back. She thanked me on how sweet I was and for all the support and that it was a wonderful life-time experience, she had in Helsinki. She wished me luck with my singing and hoped to hear from me sometime.

After a while, we began talking. We began commenting each other. We began messaging each other. I realized how much of a wonderful; kind hearted; positive and grateful person she really was. It's real hard to find a true soul like that as a friend. She's been such a great friend to me. Her songs have always made me feel so great about myself. She's inspired me, through her songs and positive energy, to continue singing and to never give up on my dreams. Just believe in yourself and go for it.

I feel so grateful to have her support; to have her believe in me. It means so much to me. I always feel something in her songs. I feel the struggle she must have faced through the hard times. I feel the passion and love she has for music. It just combines as one and has cast a spell on me. It's the only music I've been listening to for the past 5 months! It's made me feel more alive and confident in myself. Whenever I'm depressed. I'd listen to her songs and everything goes away.

She's sent me all of her songs to my email, just for me. I listen to them every single day now. I'm practicing on one of her songs, "Stop This Hurting", during my singing lessons and while practicing at home. I feel so comfortable singing that. I can relate to her songs in everyway. It just surprises me, on how I came across her profile. I think it was fate for us to be friends. I think it was fate for me to listen to her songs. If it wasn't for Lisette and her music, I wouldn't have pushed myself to begin a singing career in progress. I thank her so much.

Lisette has recently released her promotional music video, "Surrender", the genre of the song is pop mixed with elements of dance. If you listen to the lyrics, they're just so reflective to a person's emotions. You can feel the emotion and passion through her voice. It's honestly one of a kind and unique. She looks so stunning and beautiful in this video, as always. I dedicate this entry to you Lisette. I'm honestly grateful. Thank you for everything. It means the world.

I feel sorry for Zac...

I was on my internet homepage and I saw something about Jessica Alba trashing Zac Efron about the way he takes care of himself. Ok, first, let me clear some stuff up:

1) I'm not a FAN of Zac Efron.
2) I've NEVER seen his movies.
(except Hairspray cause I love the original)
3) I'm not one of those crazy OBSESSED teen-heart throbs.
4) I don't really CARE about his sexuality or personal life.
(he is who he is and does what he wants)
5) I don't really CLASSIFY him as a "celebrity".
(he's just someone who's turned a dream into a career)
6) I don't view him as a PIECE OF MEAT.
7) I don't GIVE a damn.
8) I have NOTHING against him.

Anyways, I know this is probably old news, but I just want to write something in this blog. I just want to say, who the hell made her the judge of the way people take care of themselves? Honestly? We were all born as INDIVIDUALS. We were all born with DIFFERENT skin colours. We grew up with different SEXUALITIES. We grew up with different INTERESTS. Above all it's what makes us in this world UNIQUE. We're all human. We're not perfect. What gives a person the right to judge someone and trash them? An arrogant dickhead, that's what.

I don't understand why people CAN'T accept others for who THEY are. What makes them so SPECIAL from the rest of us out there? NOTHING. It's completely overrated and predictable. I know he's been dealing with rumours about his sexuality, I know he's been through the supposed "break up" with Vanessa. How do I know? I've put up with people talking about it. Fun. Anyways, I know the media can be a total bitch sometimes. But, honestly, most people in the Entertainment Industry shouldn't be so ignorant. They should understand the situation and support each other. But, it's life, it's a bitch.

I'm just surprised how these people have had the strength and courage to deal with all the crap the media puts them through. I honestly give them credit for that. I salute you. All I can say is that Zac has a LOT of talent. He can sing. He can dance. He can act. I admire him for being where he is today. Honestly. I'm a singer in progress, as most of you have gathered from my 2nd blog, and I've finally got over that fear and pushed myself to take lessons. I just hope I'll have that big break and do it all for the right reasons.

As I was saying, I just hope to God, that he uses his talent as much as he can. Don't let it go to waste. Keep auditioning. Keep singing. Keep acting. Keep dancing. Just believe in yourself and be strong with what's ahead of you. Just live every moment without any regrets. Just don't do anything stupid which will ruin the rest of your life. If I could say this to him in person I would. I'm the type of person who sees a person for who they are; to see them happy; to see them with confidence and faith; to see them doing what they love. I'll always be there for a person no matter what's their status and be supportive of them.

I wouldn't mind being friends with Zac, because honestly, we all need friends that have a lot of positive energy and that has a great personality, that will leave you thankful. But, I know there's a 100+% chance that will never happen. Just because someone is a "celebrity" it's because they chose to build a career in that industry for their talent. Anyone can do it. It doesn't make us any different from them. We're all human. We're not perfect. We just succeed in something we believe and have faith in. It won't be easy. We all have to work and sacrifice. But, in the end, the results are going to be worth it.

I just want people to understand, that even if a person becomes something in life, doesn't matter what it is. I just hope they won't backstab or treat that person any less. Because karma is a bitch. What goes around, comes around. I hope most of you understand that, even though Zac Efron is VERY well-known now, he's still human like the rest of us. Sure, he has a career in front of the cameras, but he also has a normal personal life like us. We're all individuals. We're not perfect. I know a lot of people out there just love him about his looks, about his body, about wanting to get into his pants. All I can say is: are you that blind to look past that and see for what a person is for who they are?

I guess in today's generation, I will never know.

The morning comes, The sun hides

It's 6:58 a.m. on Saturday and I'm awake. I'm surprised on how early I've gone to bed last night at around 11:10 p.m. and to wake up at around the early hours of the morning. Mind you, I'd always wake up around 3p.m. in the afternoon! I think it's a new change for me. I honestly need Dr. Phil's advice on this. It's a real turn in the next chapter of my life.


Anyways....


Introduction.... not that I really like introducing myself to people. I find it more of a mystery to not know the person without meeting them and just create a story about their life and just play out the possibilities if the person is either a serial killer on the run or just simply on the run after beating his own wife, because she didn't put enough pepper in the sauce. But, I don't want to get TOO carried away, leaving you wondering if I'm some crazy nut job from the sidewalk selling crack, so I'll just get to the point.


I'm Jordan.
I'm 18 years old.
I live in Sydney, Australia.
I can be loud and obnoxious sometimes.
(Arn't we all?)
I'm loving and caring.
I'm a singer in progress.
(Yes, that's right)
I don't like people.
I hate some more than others.
I speak my mind.
(Most people hate that)
I don't judge others.
(Yes, I'm human)
I accept people for who they are.
(Shocking, aye?)
I have faith in my dreams.
I believe in people's dreams.
I believe in what's "right".
I love meeting new people.
(Don't start me)

Now for the downside...


I hate people who criticize others.
(We're NOT perfect)
I hate people with TOO much pride.
(Get OVER yourself)
I hate people who are negative.
(Get a LIFE)
I hate people who DON'T accept others for who THEY are.
(What makes YOU so special?)
I hate people that judge you WITHOUT even knowing you.
I hate people who pretend to be your friend but backstab you.
(Bring IT on bitch!)
I hate people who think they CAN destroy you.
(Have you met MY mother?)
I hate people who think they're TOO good to be your friend.
(As I said: What makes YOU so special?)

Anywho...


Since you've finished reading the above "About Me".
You'll notice that I'm DIFFERENT.
But, hey!
It's ME.
It's who I am.
If you DON'T accept it.
Then, you CAN just go fuck yourself.
God Bless.

Moving on...


It's 7:56 a.m., as I've spent almost an hour trying to finish this first blog entry of mine. I keep getting distractions: Mum waking up and babbling about someone forgetting to lock the back door. My neighbour lawn mowing the garden at THIS time of the morning. Don't people have lives? What happened to the good old days, when people used to sleep until the early hours of the afternoon? Doesn't this world have NO shame?! Damn global warming! It's messing with our minds. Next thing you know, we'll be exercising *shudders at the thought*. Scary.


Anyways....


As I sit here, with my ocean-blue robe over my black racing car shirt and my blue Homer Simpson boxers, (yes, that's right, I wear boxers, BOXERS, not briefs) I begin to wonder if writing this entry was worth it. I'm sure most of you have probably wasted a good 3-5 minutes of your so called "NORMAL" lives reading this. But, I think it's probably best to write down the non-stop dribble your mind plays repeatedly in your head. After all, we're all human right? We all have needs. We all have raging hormones (sure mine get mad at each other and stop talking to one another). We all have different styles. We have obliviated views upon the world. But most importantly. We have unique blogs.


I shall continue later.
