tomorrowlandstage01

You have to see this …

“If you were at this year’s massive Tomorrowland Festival in Belgium, which took place for three days at the end of June, you may have witnessed the incredibly amazing main stage. ID&T, the Dutch production company behind the event, pulled out all the stops to entertain the over 65,000 attendees (that’s just for one day). Touted as one of the world’s largest music festival, Tomorrowland is known for their unique fantasy amusement park setting. This year, an entire stage was filled with a library of gigantic fairy tale books to create a sort of magical country. In the middle, sat one large book of LEDs that opened, closed and entertained the crowd.”

50 years since Beatles first single …

It is 50 years since The Beatles released their first single – a moment that changed the music world forever.

Half a century ago, the mop-top Liverpudlians stormed onto the world stage with Love Me Do, and love them they did. The Beatles became not just a band but a phenomenon.

This is my favorite song and video clip.

YouTube description:

“This is the BEST Andrea Bocelli song EVER. Listen as he joins the Mormon Tabernacle Choir in Salt Lake City, Utah for an unforgettable rendition of “The Lord’s Prayer.”
David Foster sets the stage for the music in this beautiful PBS performance. A song about Christ’s prayer to His Father in Heaven.
This beats adeste fidelis, angels we have heard on high, God Bless us everyone, caro gesu bambino, cantique de noel, and any of his other hits, anytime…but see for yourself. There’s no Sarah Brightman but the Mormon Tabernacle Choir does it even better!
This truly is his the “besame mucho Andrea Bocelli”.”

Great Chinese State Circus

I was sent an email this afternoon of a link to a YouTube video showing the Great Chinese State Circus – Swan Lake. The video had been uploaded in 2008 and not very good quality. I did a search and found the following one of better quality.

The point I want to make, because you have probably seen these before, is the exceptional talent of the performers. I never cease to be amazed at this and always think that to view these performers live should be on everybody’s bucket list. Hope you watch the video as well as some of the others on YouTube and enjoyed their performance again as I did.

One Direction

I was down the shops today and a friend said I like your Blog ” Bear Tales”. He really enjoyed the jokes and followed it to have a chuckle each day. He is a younger guy who then suggested that I might get with it and keep up with what is trending with younger people. I asked what was trending at the moment. He said One Direction a British all boy group that was really topping the charts. Ah I said like me in my late teens who thought that the Beach Boys were the greatest thing on earth, that was until the Beatles came on the scene. Determined not to be like my father who would not even consider the Beatles as having any talent at all I decided that I would have a look at what One Direction was all about and listen to some of their music.

This is part of what I found on Wikipedia:

“One Direction are a British-Irish boy band consisting of members Niall Horan, Zayn Malik, Liam Payne, Harry Styles and Louis Tomlinson. They signed to Simon Cowell’s record label Syco Records after being formed and placing third in the seventh series of The X Factor. They later signed in North America to Columbia Records.

One Direction’s debut single, “What Makes You Beautiful“, was released in September 2011 and peaked at number one in the UK and charted in the top ten in several international markets. Their debut album, Up All Night, followed in November 2011, and debuted at number two on the UK Albums Chart, with the highest sales for number two album in 2011, and became the fastest-selling debut album on the UK Albums Chart of 2011. On 21 March 2012, Up All Night debuted at number one on the U.S. Billboard 200, making One Direction the first UK group in history to debut at number one with their first album.

On 21 February 2012, “What Makes You Beautiful” won the award for Best British Single at the 2012 BRIT Awards (Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia).

Search of YouTube revealed many video clips this is one:

Do I think that they will be remembered like the Beatles, Rolling Stones, Beach Boys, Roy Orbinson etc. who were trending when I was younger after the same period of time. No sorry but yet they are only young and may develop further. Their songs are enjoyable but does anyone remember the Bay City Rollers. I bet that asking a sixteen year old do they know who the Beatles are, they would. In fifty years time ask a sixteen year old who One Direction is will they?

Does it really matter? One Direction are in the entertainment business and apparently young people are entertained and enjoying themselves.
