Zumba World Record & Jackie Evancho

Hey Everyone . . . just had to share a couple of things . . . had a real fun day yesterday, and helped put Cairns on the map by being one of the 3000+ people to set a new world record for a Zumba class size, with a resulting entry (if there are no hiccups in the process) into the Guiness Book Of World Records. Woooooooooooo Hooooooooooooo!!! Here is the only Youtube video I have found on it, though I am sure there will be a few more, once the people who made their own version on the day get them uploaded.


Cool Huh!!! LOL! Okie . . . but . . . as the title suggests, I have more to share than just this giant zumba class . . . and so . . . on a different note (pardon the pun LOL!) . . . I would like to introduce you to . . .
JACKIE EVANCHO

My God, this young lady (10 years old . . . maybe 11 now) is TOTALLY AWESOME!!! . . . well, her VOICE is, anyway . . . truly brings tears to my eyes . . . OFTEN!!! . . . and seriously, folks . . . you just HAVE to take a few minutes and listen to at least ONE of her current Youtube videos . . . and I have put some of my favourites here for those of you who are as enthralled with her as I was the first time I heard her sing, and want to hear more . . . and you have more than a few minutes of spare time, too I guess LOL! The first one "I Believe" is the first video of her I ever saw after a friend sent me the link, and its then followed by "Pie Jesu", then "O Mio Babbino Caro", then "Nessun Dorma", and finally (and it might seem a little back to front), her FIRST appearance on America's Got Talant, where she blew the audience AND the judges away . . . in one angelic swoop LOL! Anyway . . . enjoy . . . may she touch your heart like she has touched mine . . . and seeya next time :)
