The X factor

Who has the X factor thats what keeping us Dutch busy over the last 6 months. Last Saturday i was Final day. From over 30.000 contestants Sharon (my Idol) and Richie reached the final. Each had to sing 3 songs. And of course like all the other shows Sharon was the best. And she won. She had 75 votes out of hunderd and was the glorious winner. She earned a contract with a record company and eternal faim. Sharon sings with and from her soul, her face and voice tell us the lyrics of the song like a story from a book.

On friday they were at the Station in Utrecht for their promo tour there I made the pictures.

Push comes to Shove

Hey evrybody dit you hear the news
Theres a new album about the blues
Made by a man you certainly must know
He realy has its own bluesshow

Push comes to Shove
Is the album he made
Famous from here and beyond
The legendary John Hammond

Yes this album you must have, nice bluesballads, good guitar and harp work from the man who started 40 years ago at the Gaslight Café in Mew York

John Hammond is now 64 years old and this album is his 29th album, he won one Amy award and was nominated for another 4. He isn't very welknown by a large audiance and also I noticed his work very recently. I heard a song from John on the radio I think it was Arrow Jazz radio and so I search on the internet to learn something about him and bought this album at I-tunes. I was suprised and I will certainly buy more albums from this guy. You must try it out yourself.
