This is how one song can change your life.

Simon Cowell gave him a standing ovation in the
latest episode of Britain's Got Talent 2009.

We were wow-ed last week with Susan Boyle,
with 32 million views on youtube,
she was as big as 2007's Paul Pots, if not bigger!

But 12-year-old Shaheen got all 3 judges
in a standing ovation at the end of his song! Amazing!

Simon Cowell actually said; "... love him...
love him... that's a really hard song to sing...
I mean really hard..." And the song was
'Who's Loving You' by Michael Jackson.

Just wondering what will happen
when his voice cracks...

While you're at it, check out Julian Smith.

W.

I watched W., an Oliver Stone movie at SIFF 2009. Kumxia E who gave me the head's up and went with me. :) It was super last minute event as tickets went on sale only this morning for this evening's show.

Despite a few restful minutes for E, the movie was (in Oliver Stone's own words) 'a satire', and I found myself smiling through most of it.

The treat was the Q&A after the screening with Oliver Stone himself! Some of the words used included putz, 2-dimensional, in his own words...

I won't tell everyone to go watch it, but it's good for a few chuckles, giggles and 'what was that man thinking???' :) Kumxia for a good evening...
