This music Monday I was unsure what song to showcase. I haven't had time to search for it. I was showing my cousin one of the Justin Bieber covers (Shes a Bieber fan, unfortunately, but she's 6 so I'll let her do it) and I saw this song.
Chris Medina was a contestant on American Idol. He was cut while they were picking the top 24. When Chris first auditioned it was really good. His story is very touching. 2 months before he was supposed to marry his fiance she was in a horrible accident that left her partially paralyzed with multiple traumatic brain injuries in 2009. He never left her side. He is still by her side taking care of her and encouraging her.
The following video is a song that was written just for Chris Medina by Rodney Jenkins. This song was written around the words that Chris had said on the show, " What kind of man would I be if I were to leave her when she needed me most?" It's a touching song and portrays the journey that they have gone through. Enjoy the song!

Music Monday- Justin Bieber
So I was having difficulty choosing what song to do for today’s Music Monday. I wanted to showcase Joseph Vincent or Jason Chen’s original songs, but my friend changed my mind. She was wondering what the infatuation with Justin Bieber was. I told her I had no idea and that the world may never know. What I do know is, though, that there are some really good covers of his songs and I shared them with her. I decided, that many people are aware of Justin Bieber and are probably not fans and wondering why he’s so amazing! (I just had a thought, I wonder if when I was the little teenyboppers age and NSYNC and BSB came out if people were wondering the same thing that we are with Justin Bieber. I think its just something that happens in each generation.)
Anyways, slightly off the road of what I wanted to say is that, today’s Music Monday is dedicated to Justin Bieber * screaming girls everywhere* Sorry girls no not the real Justin Bieber just some amazing covers! I’m going to share 4 covers that I shared with my friend.
*This first one is an Acappela version by Shane Stevers. It is a medley of songs that include “One Time”, “Eenie Meenie”, and “Baby”. I love acappella music. It is the essence of true singers and really showcases just how talented they are. Enjoy!
*This next one of course is by Glee! It is “Somebody to Love” by The Justin Bieber Experience (Artie, Puck, Mike Cheng, and Sam). Glee has taken songs that I cannot stand and as turned me into a fan. However, with this infatuation of Justin Bieber covers, Glee cannot take credit for.
*This third one is by a guy I found while searching for this one artist that I cannot find. This is an acoustic version. I love acoustic! It’s another that shows just how talented a singer is. Not to mention the guitar makes me swoon! *sigh* Oh Ya, his name is Tyler Ward and he is singing “Baby” with “Beautiful Girls” by Sean Kingston thrown in at the end. Enoy!
*This last one. I found this one after I sent her the 4covers (yes one cover isn’t on). How I found this was on the sidebar while listening to the one that isn’t included (I’ll mention it later). I listened to this and well, I don’t want to set the stage up for failure so just take a listen and form your own opinion! This is “Baby” as sung by Legaci ft Cathy Nguyen and Traphix. Enjoy!
Oh some interesting information I learn about Legaci. They are from the bay area and they were also the backup singers for Justin Bieber on his tour.
So I mentioned earlier that one of the songs didn’t make the cut. I debated whether to showcase it and I decided against it. It is Justin Chen ft Megan. I felt that the ones I haven’t mentioned in my one blog should be, and I liked their covers better. His are good though. Youtube “Somebody to Love” and “Never say Never” by Justin Chen.
I hope you guys enjoyed this Music Monday!

Music Monday
I have decided to start something that will keep up to date on posting on this, I tend not to if I don't have anything to share. Well, Starting today I will have a Music Monday. Every Monday I will post a video sharing a song that I like. It may mean something to me or I might just like their voices. They will probably mostly be covers but every once in a while there will be recognizable artists. Until then enjoy today's choice.
The song Just a dream cover/remix originally by Nelly covered by Joseph Vincent and Jason Chen
So, I was supposed to be studying today, but music just seemed more soothing that I listened and looked for music. I really like these guys. They have really good voices and its such a refresher from listening to these on the radio. There was another video I wanted to share but I don't remember the name of the song lol maybe another day I will find it. They changed the words a bit and I will include it in the end.
These songs are songs that I wouldn't normally listen to. I tend to like covers better when it comes to the artists who write the songs. One day I will meet a guy and unbeknowest to me he will have an amazing voice and/or can play piano. 2 of my favorite things that would be amazing, but we can't have everything that we want. I will keep these as pluses but what's most important is who they are and what they stand for. These next few sentences are what I wrote for myself last night while I was venting to my journal lol
It kind of explains the kind of person that I am looking for for myself. The qualities that matter most with the usual (you know funny, nice, romantic, gentleman, etc lol) "you can always run to, that one person you can talk to where you aren’t afraid to say what’s on your mind, an advice giver, a listener, a guinea pig, someone you share the same interests with you, yet have very different views and makes you think and validate why you see things and believe the way you do, someone who makes you a better you."
One day this man will enter my life if he hasn't already, and if he has one day it will be revealed to us. Until that day I will keep my focus on what matters in the here and now, my family, my friends, and my school :)
Oh and I'm super excited for 2 of my closest friends who will be married soon! Ashley and Brian in Oct and Vanessa and Tyler to be determined. :) I love you guys!
Verse 1
Let me tell you about a girl who changed my world
I don't know just how she's doin' that
she's on my mind, she's takin' my time
I'm loosin' my way but now she's bringin' me back
She's my Ipod, I got her on REPLAY
I LOVE THE WAY SHE LIES and she's making me wanna say
the DJ GOT US FALLIN' IN LOVE
We like DYNAMITE, and I just can't get enough
Pre Chorus
What goes up must come down
now baby your not around
I'm layin' all alone in the middle of the night
Verse 2
Let me tell you 'bout a girl who changed my life
She's a triple threat and she's just my type
Voice of a goddess,
can dance to this flow,
she be turnin' heads everywhere that she goes
She's my Ipod, I got her on REPLAY
I LOVE THE WAY SHE LIES and she's making me wanna say
the DJ GOT US FALLIN' IN LOVE
We like DYNAMITE, and I just can't get enough
Pre Chorus
What goes up must come down
now baby your not around
I'm layin' all alone in the middle of the night
