Blond hair, thin, some kind of gray in her eyes, Dido has a name of a queen. But her name is not this. Florian Cloud Bounevialle O’Malley Armstrong is the real name of this singer, born in the Christmas Day in 1971 in London, now a days one of the top of list in the hit parades. She has alread sold more than 25 millions of CDs worldwide. Her mother is a french poet and her father an irish publisher and her eldest brother is the record producer Rollo.
Dido was educated at Thornhill Primary, Dallington, City of London Girls’ and Westminster School. After she stole a recorder from school at age five, her parents enrolled her at the Guildhall School of Music in London, England. By the time she reached her teens Dido had learned to play the piano, recorder and the violin. She later studied law at Birkbeck, University of London, while working as a literary agent. She never completed the degree, deciding instead to take up music full-time. After learning the guitar, she showcased her skills to audiences during her 2004 Life for Rent tour.n 1995, Dido began recording demo tracks which were put together on a collection entitled Odds & Ends and sent out by Nettwerk management.
Nettwerk had signed her after she was brought to their attention by her collaborations with Faithless (Dido co-wrote and provided vocals for album tracks, such as “Flowerstand Man” and “Hem of His Garment”) and the UK dance act spearheaded by her brother, Rollo Armstrong. The collection was released by Nettwerk on CD-R acetate in 1995 and featured a mixture of finished productions and demo versions which she later considered for release on her debut album, released in 1999 as No Angel. Odds & Ends brought her to the attention of Arista Records, who signed her in the USA, striking a deal with her brother’s record label, Cheeky Records, to co-sign her. Of the tracks included on Odds & Ends, “Take My Hand” was included on all editions of No Angel as a bonus track; “Sweet Eyed Baby” was remixed and renamed to “Don’t Think of Me”, while “Worthless” and “Me” were released exclusively on the Japanese edition.
Dido started recording her fourth album just months after releasing her third album Safe Trip Home, which lacked the heavy promotion of her previous two albums. Dido stated in July 2009 that her fourth album, still untitled, will have an electronic approach, which is totally different to the organic direction she took with the previous album.
Upon the release of No Angel in 1999, after a long time promoting the album, Dido broke up with her fiancé, entertainment lawyer Bob Page, after a seven-year relationship.While she has described her departure from him as her becoming “a free agent in every sense”, the two remain friends. A few songs on her No Angel album were written with him in mind (”Thank You” was written about missing him), and she thanked him publicly upon winning the Songwriter of the Year award at the Ivor Novello Awards, adding, “The song ‘Thank You’ still sums up that relationship. Being single might make my album more psycho this time”

One of the greatest rock band of the 70’s and 1980’s, Queen – with Freddie Mercury on the vocals – gave us a lot of hits, like these
Teo Torriate
When I’m gone
Don’t need to wonder if I ever think of you
The same moon shines
The same wind blows
For both of us, and time is but a paper moon. . . be not gone
Though I’m gone
It’s just as though I hold the flower that touches you
A new life grows
The blossom knows
There’s no one else could warm my heart as much as you. . . be not gone
Let us cling together as the years go by
Oh my love, my love
In the quiet of the night
Let our candle always burn
Let us never lose the lessons we have learned
Teo torriate konomama iko
Aisuruhito yo
Shizukana yoi ni
Hikario tomoshi
Itoshiki oshieo idaki
Hear my song
Still think of me the way you’ve come to think of me
The nights grow long
But dreams live on
Just close your pretty eyes and you can be with me. . . dream on
When I’m gone
They’d say we’re all fools and we don’t understand
Oh be strong
Don’t turn your heart
We’re all
You’re all
For all
For always. . .
(this music is written parts in english and part in japanese)
Who Wants To Live Forever
There’s no time for us
There’s no place for us
What is this thing that builds our dreams
yet slips away from us
Who wants to live forever?
Who wants to live forever?
Ohhh…
There’s no chance for us
It’s all decided for us
This world has only one sweet moment
set aside for us
Who wants to live forever?
Who wants to live forever?
Ohhh…
Who dares to love forever?
Oh oh
When love must die?
Then touch my tears with your lips
Touch my world with your fingertips
And we can live forever
And we can love forever
Forever is our today
Who wants to live forever?
Who wants to live forever?
Forever is our today
Who waits forever anyway?
(this music was played in the film Highlander)

We”re caught in a trap
I can”t walk out
Because I love you too much baby
Why can”t you see
What you”re doing to me
When you don”t believe a word I say?
We can”t go on together
With suspicious minds
And we can”t build our dreams
On suspicious minds
So, if an old friend I know
Drops by to say hello
Would I still see suspicion in your eyes?
Here we go again
Asking where I”ve been
You can”t see these tears are real
I”m crying
We can”t go on together
With suspicious minds
And we can”t build our dreams
On suspicious minds
Oh let our love survive
Or dry the tears from your eyes
Let”s don”t let a good thing die
When honey, you know
I”ve never lied to you
Mmm yeah, yeah

I have read some lines in a blog: today, is Elizabeth Taylor”s birthday. It means that she is piscian (like me and the doll Barbie). Been born in the same horoscop of Liz it is for me a great honor. She is one of the greatest movie star we have ever heard.
Born in february 27th, 1932, in Hampstead, London, UK. She started working in cinema when she was a young girl and has never stopped. Her long carreer has resulted in two Oscar, a Jean Hersholt Humanitary Award (this prize is also given by the American Academy of Movie Science and Arts), and many other awards.
In spite of the fact Liz won the Oscar of best actress by Butterfield 8 and Who”s affraid of Virginia Wolf, she became more famous by her role in Cleopatra. She is a very talentous actress, with a long filmography, but people knows much more about her personal and love life.
She got married many times. Her most famous husband was Richard Burton, with whon she married twice and worked in many films during the 60″s years. But she is also involved with filantropic purposals, she was one of the first person to fight against AIDS.

When the soap “Senhora do Destino” was broadcasted, some years ago, one music call many people atention: the closest things to crazy. Because this song, its performer, Katie Melua, became well known among brazilians. We all ask, who is this singer with such a sweet voice, sing ballads like this or reviving some old hits like “just when i need you the most”?
Katie Melua was born in Georgia, in the ex-URSS, in september 16, 1984. In 1993, she moved with her parents to the North Ireland, where her father got a job as a heart surgeon. The family lived in Belfast for five years before moving to South East London. After her GCSEs, Katie joined the Brit School for Performing Arts where she undertook a BTEC and Music A-level. Composer/producer Mike Batt paid a visit to the school. Katie signed to Batt”s record label Dramatico, but stayed at the Brit School to complete her studies where she graduated with distinction in July 2003.
Her first album was Calling off the search – which contains “the clothest thing to crazy” – who became a megahit. After, she produced Piece by Piece, with the hit Nine Million Bycicles, and Pictures, released two years ago, which has delighted her legions of fans, confirmed Katie”s status as a unique and remarkable vocalist, and revealed the third chapter in what is destined to be a long musical career.
She has been dedicating to charity proposal like famine people, suffering children and so on. Because that, she has traveled around the world and has met Nelson Mandela in person in South Africa visiting his AIDS charity. She also like danger and radical sports like car races, and because her tastes, she has been considered an adrenaline junker. She became a british citzen in 2005 and can speak english, georgian, and other languages.
To sing along with her:
The Closest Thing to Crazy
Katie Melua
How can I think I”m standing strong,
Yet feel the air beneath my feet?
How can happiness feel so wrong?
How can misery feel so sweet?
How can you let me watch you sleep,
Then break my dreams the way you do?
How can I have got in so deep?
Why did I fall in love with you?
[CHORUS:]
This is the closest thing to crazy I have ever been
Feeling twenty-two, acting seventeen,
This is the nearest thing to crazy I have ever known,
I was never crazy on my own…
And now I know that there”s a link between the two,
Being close to craziness and being close to you.
How can you make me fall apart
Then break my fall with loving lies?
It”s so easy to break a heart;
It”s so easy to close your eyes.
How can you treat me like a child
Yet like a child I yearn from you?
How can anyone feel so wild?
How can anyone feel so blue?
[CHORUS]

O beautiful for spacious skies,
For amber waves of grain,
For purple mountain majesties
Above the fruited plain!
America! America!
God shed his grace on thee
And crown thy good with brotherhood
From sea to shining sea!
O beautiful for pilgrim feet
Whose stern impassioned stress
A thoroughfare for freedom beat
Across the wilderness!
America! America!
God mend thine every flaw,
Confirm thy soul in self-control,
Thy liberty in law!
O beautiful for heroes proved
In liberating strife.
Who more than self the country loved
And mercy more than life!
America! America!
May God thy gold refine
Till all success be nobleness
And every gain divine!
O beautiful for patriot dream
That sees beyond the years
Thine alabaster cities gleam
Undimmed by human tears!
America! America!
God shed his grace on thee
And crown thy good with brotherhood
From sea to shining sea!
O beautiful for halcyon skies,
For amber waves of grain,
For purple mountain majesties
Above the enameled plain!
America! America!
God shed his grace on thee
Till souls wax fair as earth and air
And music-hearted sea!
O beautiful for pilgrims feet,
Whose stem impassioned stress
A thoroughfare for freedom beat
Across the wilderness!
America! America!
God shed his grace on thee
Till paths be wrought through
wilds of thought
By pilgrim foot and knee!
O beautiful for glory-tale
Of liberating strife
When once and twice,
for man”s avail
Men lavished precious life!
America! America!
God shed his grace on thee
Till selfish gain no longer stain
The banner of the free!
O beautiful for patriot dream
That sees beyond the years
Thine alabaster cities gleam
Undimmed by human tears!
America! America!
God shed his grace on thee
Till nobler men keep once again
Thy whiter jubilee!

Creed – One Last Breath
Please come now
I think I”m falling
I”m holding on to all
I think is safe
It seems I found the road
to nowhere
And I”m trying to escape
I yelled back when I heard thunder
But I”m down to one last breath
And with it let me say
Let me say
Hold me now
I”m six feet from the edge and
I”m thinking
That maybe six feet
Ain”t so far down
I”m looking down
now that it”s over
Reflecting on all of my mistakes
I thought
I found the road to somewhere
Somewhere in His grace
I cried out heaven save me
But I”m down to one last breath
And with it let me say
Let me say
Hold me now
I”m six feet from the edge and
I”m thinking
That maybe six feet
Ain”t so far down
Sad eyes follow me
But I still believe
there”s something left for me
So please come stay with me
“Cause I still believe
there”s something left
for you and me
For you and me
For you and me
Hold me now
I”m six feet from the edge
and I”m thinking
That maybe six feet
Ain”t so far down (2x)
Please come now
I think I”m falling
I”m holding on to all
I think is safe
