KEYS ME vs KEN LEE

April 5, 2008

What do Filipina sexy starlet turned comedian Alyssa Alano and Bulgarian idol hopeful turned overnight superstar Valentina Hasan have in common?

The Answer: They both became popular youtube stars because of their unique way of singing english songs.

Image and video hosting by TinyPicLet me refresh your memory: About two years ago, an ex-viva hot babe member named Alyssa Alano rendered a song number for German Moreno’s Master Showman. She performed her own version of Sixpence None The Richer’s massive hit song "Kiss Me". Unfortunately, she didn’t memorize the lyrics of the song and she ended up singing the wrong lines. She even messed up with the title. She pronounced KISS ME as KEYS ME. A fan was able to record the whole thing and uploaded it in youtube. The said video gained a lot of hits in a short span of time and presto! Alyssa Alano became a star! Numerous tv guestings, movies and endorsements followed. The good news is that she is still very much visible nowadays and you can really see that she is determined to make it big in the biz.

Years after, a certain bulgarian lady attempted to sing her own version of Mariah Carey’s "Without You".. I mean she just adopted the melody and made up the lyrics of the spot with the title "Ken Lee". The  audition clip appeared in the second season of Bulgarian Idol. The good news is that EMI records is interested in signing her up and yes, she hass an upcoming song. This time it is a Whitney Houston inspired hit.

I do admire these two ladies for their guts and confidence. They used their imperfections to become a star.

Here’s a bonus for everyone: Keys Me and Ken Lee Lyrics!

Technical Schools Inquiries

Jamie, my long lost elementary friend sent in me an email last night about her college plans. She knows that I successfully graduated from a good technical school last year. She told me that she’s passionate when it comes to programming and she’s willing to undergo rigorious it training if needed. I asked to get a list of tech schools in her area as early as now and I also suggested her to check out the tech-training-schools.org website to help her out in searching and at the same time decide if she’ll pursue with this career path or what.
