un pensamiento para ti...

billy gilman
I was suddenly reminded of Billy Gilman. Wonder if he most Singaporeans knew this young singer? I only remember him from the Taiwanese cable channel where there was one period of time years ago when the channel was promoting his album.
I remember watching the MV of the very touching song called Oklahoma and thinking "Wow, this young boy has such a smooth and angelic voice..." Never fails to make me tear whenever I watch this MV.
And there was also One Voice, which was actually his debut song in 2000: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=KPouj2SrM4w
Then I heard his Christmas songs from his Christmas album and that same thought about his vocals crossed my mind...
Well, time really flies and he's 19 already! Fortunately, that voice has matured but hasn't changed in quality... The clip below shows him performing in 2006.
I didn't realize he was a country singer until now!
Nevertheless, this is one duet worth listening to - Charlotte Church and Billy Gilman singing Dream a Dream.

Very familiar name... the videos no longer available...
Country singer? He has the looks of a matinee idol. Pity, country singer.
Funn, I just tried the links and they're all still working!
He does have the looks of a matinee idol, but I have to say he makes country singing sound more contemporary and accessible. Glad his image has been far from the traditional country singer decked in cowboy gear and singing with a guitar.
