精华 天籁之声悠悠处，大珠小珠玉盘住

“
麥可·約瑟夫·傑克森（英語：Michael Joseph Jackson，1958年8月29日－2009年6月25日），粵語區及海外華語區譯為麥可積遜、麥可積臣，生於美國印地安那州加里市，美國著名流行音樂歌手、作曲家、舞蹈家、唱片製作人。
1960年代與1970年代他以傑克森5人組樂團（初期稱為 Jackson Five，轉公司後改為 The Jacksons）的主唱開始了他的音樂歷程，並於1979年開始了個人獨唱生涯，最終成為歷史上最成功的歌手之一。至今，他已在全世界銷售了約7.5億張唱片，他的《戰慄》（Thriller）專輯更是音樂史上銷量最高的唱片，全球銷量超過7000萬張。傑克森一般被與貓王、披頭四兩組歌手並列為流行樂史上最偉大的不朽象徵，並被譽為「流行音樂之王」（King of Pop）。傑克森演唱事業的成功使他獲得了全世界眾多歌迷的支持與喜愛，包括他的歌曲和標誌性的舞步。然而，近年來媒體更感興趣的卻是他膚色的變化和怪僻的生活方式。
傑克森曾獲得許多音樂獎項，包括18屆葛萊美獎。他在美國共創造了13首冠軍單曲。單曲《Thriller》的音樂錄影帶被譽為全世界「最偉大的音樂錄影帶」之一，並在音樂錄影帶的藝術性上「前進了一大步」。MTV台和滾石雜誌最近將他的四首歌曲《Billie Jean》（第5名）、傑克森5人組的《I Want You Back》（第9名）、《Beat It》（第23名）及《Rock with You》（第82名）選入「有史以來最受歡迎的100首流行歌曲」陣容。
除了他在音樂上輝煌的成就，傑克森還被斯里蘭卡的《星期日時報頁面星期日時報 (斯里蘭卡)並不存在，英語維基百科對應頁面為The Sunday Times (Sri Lanka)。》稱為「慈善之王」，直至2006年，捐款達三億美元。 倫敦時間2009年3月5日，出席新聞發布會，宣布復出。並將在7月8日，開始復出演唱會。
美國西部時間2009年6月25日，在深度昏迷被送往醫院，後於下午宣告搶救無效死亡，得年50歲。”


很难受。
20多年前买的第一盘英文歌手磁带就是他的，拉上帘子躲在宿舍的床上听。喜欢他变化多端的声音、他歌曲里反抗和冲击的力量，后来也喜欢他特殊的舞蹈风格。那时剪了他的画片悄悄贴在床头，平时用枕头挡住，不好意思给人看见。刚才看新闻，Celion Dion说他是她的偶像，年轻时墙上挂满他的图片。哎！一个争议的人物，起伏跌宕、丰满而难于论断的人生。King of Pop, 音乐届的一大损失。他的音域好像是Pop star里最宽的，比Mariah Carey还宽,好像是6个8度，天才。
前一段渥太华Hot 89.9还举行了一个大型竞赛，奖品是两张去伦敦看他复出表演的全程机票门票。可怜那计划好的50场演唱会的观众是怎样的心情，票早都卖空了。一个从几岁开始出名，不管因为什么原因，持续令人瞩目的star。他的突然去世比一个总统的死在全球的震撼都要大呢。

这首是比较表现他嗓音变化和演唱风格的歌儿，其实Thriller那首最典型，但MTV做的太恐怖了，不是都可以接受的，不敢贴。

Top 10 Most Thrilling Michael Jackson Moments

Posted Fri Jun 26, 2009 9:03am PDT by Billy Johnson, Jr. in Hip-Hop Media Training
As we mourn the loss of Michael Jackson, the undeniable King of Pop, who succumbed to cardiac arrest Thursday, we take a look back at some of top news making moments in his life.
10) Michael Extends A Hand
Michael teamed with fellow pop star Lionel Richie to write the song "We Are The World," an All-Star benefit that included dozens of noted artists: Diana Ross, Willie Nelson, Bruce Springsteen, Bette Middler and Cyndi Lauper. The Quincy Jones produced song benefited United Support Of Artists For Africa and sold 800,000 copies.

9) Michael Amuses Himself
Since Michael's hectic professional work schedule prevented him from having a normal childhood, it is not surprising the he would eventually build his own personal amusement park. Michael opened the Neverland Ranch in 1988 on the lot of his estate in California's San Ynez Valley. The 2,800 acre attraction was both a zoo and theme park featuring a Ferris wheel, children's roller coaster, merry-go-round and exotic animals. Neverland was once valued at $120 million and is now in foreclosure proceedings as Michael's financial strains prompted him to relocate.

8) Michael Makes A "Thriller"
Michael recorded arguably the most popular music video to date. The video for Thriller's title track was shot like a scary film intermixed with dance sequences.

7) Michael Real Life Transformer
While Michael has never spoken candidly to the media about his alleged multiple plastic surgeries, the drastic changes to his facial features over the years have lead the public to draw its own conclusions.

6) Michael: "The Kid Is My Son"
Years before having a child, Michael sang the song "Billie Jean" which told the story of a man on the heels of a paternity suit. Michael's lyric notes, "the kid is not my son." On February 13, 1997, some 15 years later, Michael experiences parenthood, becoming the first time father to Michael Joseph Jackson, Jr.

​

5) Michael Too Hot For TV
Michael's hair catches on fire during the taping of a Pepsi commercial featuring pyrotechnics. Michael experiences third degree burns on his scalp.

4) Michael Accused Of Molestation
Michael is charged with molesting Jordan Chandler, the 13-year-old son of former Beverly Hills dentist Evan Chandler. Michael denied the charges and settled out of court for an estimated $18 to $20 million.

3) Michael Faced Additional Molestation Charges
In April 2004, 10 years after the first set of charges, Michael again is accused of molesting a young boy. This time, Michael fought the case on trial and was found not guilty.

2) Michael Scores Best Seller
Michael's sixth studio album Thriller has sold an estimated 42 - 108 million copies worldwide. The album was the first record to include more than four No. 1 hits. Thriller actually contained seven No. 1 hits and earned seven Grammys at the 1984 award show.

“Louis Daniel Armstrong (August 4, 1901 – July 6, 1971), nicknamed Satchmo or Pops, was an American jazz trumpeter and singer.
Armstrong was a foundational influence on jazz, shifting the music's focus from collective improvisation to solo performers. With his distinctive gravelly voice, Armstrong was also an influential singer, demonstrating great dexterity as an improviser, bending the lyrics and melody of a song for expressive purposes. He was also greatly skilled at scat singing, or wordless vocalizing.
Renowned for his charismatic stage presence and deep, instantly recognizable voice almost as much as for his trumpet-playing, Armstrong's influence extended well beyond jazz, and by the end of his career in the '60s, he was widely regarded as a profound influence on popular music in general: critic Steve Leggett describes Armstrong as "perhaps the most important American musician of the 20th century." Flea once proclaimed that "Louis Armstrong was probably the greatest musician that ever lived...one note implies that if he wanted to he could play ten billion notes, but just one simple note is a beautiful thing."

有些歌声会让你情不自禁地思想人类的渺小与有限，让你感叹世界的庞大、美丽与无限。久久环绕，挥之不去，心如游云，情似深海。多少人间的苦怨值得停留，又有多少世上的不满值得记忆呢？ ”What a wonderful world“ 应该是一首这样的歌吧。

Louis Armstrong在音乐史上的地位不必多言，他独特的声音会像梦一样在音乐结束之后仍纠缠你不放，怎样文字可以描述这样的魅力？

非常喜爱的一位老牌歌手、奥斯卡最佳女主角得主，她混厚的声音与特殊的美丽很难与其他人混淆。40年辉煌演艺生涯，硕果累累。

“Cher ( born Cherilyn Sarkisian on May 20, 1946) is an American pop singer-songwriter, actor, director and record producer. She has won an Academy Award, a Grammy Award, an Emmy Award, three Golden Globe Awards and a People's Choice Award for her work in film, music and television.
Cher began her career at the age of seventeen and came to prominence as one half of the pop rock duo Sonny & Cher when their song "I Got You Babe" became an overnight hit in 1965. She subsequently established herself as a solo recording artist, and became a television star in the 1970s with the variety show The Sonny and Cher Comedy Hour, for which she won a Golden Globe Award. A well received performance in the film Silkwood earned her a nomination for the Academy Award for Best Supporting Actress in 1984. In the following years, Cher starred in a string of hit filmsincluding Mask, The Witches of Eastwick, and Moonstruck, for which she won the Academy Award for Best Actress in 1988.
Cher is the only female solo artist to reach the Top Ten of the BillboardHot 100 in each of the previous four decades . Her hit dance single "Believe" is her biggest-selling recording and was the best-selling single of 1999., having sold over 10 million copies worldwide. She holds the Hot 100 record for the longest hit-making career span, with 33 years between the release of her first and most recent #1 singles, in 1965 and 1998. Cher ended her 3-year-long "Farewell Tour" in 2005 as the most successful tour by a female solo artist to that time.
With a career lasting over 40 years, Cher is an enduring pop culture icon and one of the most popular and biggest-selling artists in the history of contemporary music, having sold over 100 million records worldwide. After a three-year hiatus and retirement from touring city to city, Cher returned to the stage in 2008 at Caesars Palace in Las Vegas where she is currently performing her show Cher at the Colosseum.”

工作关系，每日与音乐为伴多年，中西音乐听了不计其数，感觉最起镇静、凝想作用的仍然是我们的民乐。

这首听来，不仅会思想伯牙、钟子期知音之美的千古佳话，最喜欢“流水”部分时而湍急、时而柔婉的动人，魂牵梦绕般的听琴效果。 这个版本搭配的字幕不错，有些背景介绍，更容易让人听进去吧。

人如果心上真有几根心弦，时常被这么拨弄出些优美的东西，多么好。

Very good 舞曲 for 吉特吧 and 快四 as well.

说到舞曲，耳边总是情不自禁地出现华尔兹优美的旋律，眼前是那些旋转而轻快的步法，即使身体静止地坐着，也会感觉自己血液的流淌里旋转着那些忘我的悠扬。 第一次跳的慢三华尔兹是魂断蓝桥里的“友谊地久天长”，啊，曾经旋摆的裙裾......曾经舞蹈的青春......曾经美丽的记忆......

快三华尔兹里想了一下，最著名的当属蓝色多瑙河吧，即使没有当年维也纳贵族群舞的辉煌，也是小斯特劳斯作品里首屈一指、被人们熟知的吧，百听不厌的旋律.....

Great link for 魂断蓝桥里的“友谊地久天长”. Thanks. I never watch the clip or movie before. But I knew the music or song is from 魂断蓝桥 because I bought a vinyl record including this music named the theme of 魂断蓝桥.So I acepted it as 魂断蓝桥. No many people knew it at that time. The radio often said 友谊地久天长. I ever argued with my classmates if it is 魂断蓝桥 or 友谊地久天长. I do not know if 友谊地久天长 originated from 魂断蓝桥 yet. I prefer it as 魂断蓝桥 because it includes more contents, friendship, love. I love it very much.

《CASABLANCA》 《卡萨布兰卡》
　　--Bertie Higgins --
　　I fell in love with you 我坠入了爱河
　　Watching Casablanca 与你一起看《卡萨布兰卡》时
　　Back row at the driven show 在露天汽车剧院后排
　　In the flickering light 摇曳的亮光中
　　Pop-corn and cokes 可乐与玉米花
　　Beneath the stars 在星空下
　　Became champagne & caviar 仿佛香槟和鱼子酱
　　Making love 爱意情长
　　On the long hot summer’s night 漫长炎热的夏夜里
　　I thought you fell in love with me 我以为你也爱上了我
　　Watching Casablanca 与你一起看《卡萨布兰卡》时
　　Holding hands beneath the paddle fan 电扇下双手相拥
　　In Rick’s candle-lit cafe 在Rick咖啡店的烛光下
　　Hiding in the shadows from the spots 在探照灯照不见的烛光下
　　A rocky moonlight in your arms 洒在你臂弯中的月光
　　Making magic in the movie 在银幕上演绎着神奇
　　In my old Chevrolet 躺在我旧雪弗莱车中
　　Oh a kiss is still a kiss 啊，《卡萨布兰卡》中的亲吻
　　In Casablanca 缠绵依旧
　　A kiss is not a kiss without your sign 失去你的叹息, 温情不再有
　　Please come back to me 回到我的身边来
　　In Casablanca 随着《卡萨布兰卡》
　　I love you more and more each day 时光虽流逝
　　As time goes by 对你的爱恋却与日俱增
　　I guess there are many broken hearts 我想，在卡萨布兰卡
　　In Casablanca 一定会有许多破碎的心
　　You know I’ve never really been there 你知道我不曾到过那儿
　　So I don’t know 所以不得而知
　　I guess our love story will never be seen 我想，我俩的爱情故事永远不会出现
　　On the big wide silver screen 在银幕上
　　But it hurt just as badly 但是，看着你离我而去
　　When I had to watch you go 我的心一样痛楚
　　Oh a kiss is still a kiss 啊，《卡萨布兰卡》中的亲吻
　　In Casablanca 缠绵依旧
　　A kiss is not a kiss without your sign 失去你的叹息, 温情不再有
　　Please come back to me 回到我的身边来
　　In Casablanca 随着《卡萨布兰卡》
　　I love you more & more each day 时光虽流逝
　　As time gose by 对你的爱恋却与日俱增

看到这周末有每年一度的NAC露天音乐会，看过一次，不错。看到周五晚上有Opera Lyra Ottawa 的歌剧演员的演唱，想起在NAC看过的第一场歌剧是他们演的《唐璜》--Don Giovanni，从此买季票每年看他们那仅有的两场歌剧。唐璜里面有一首特别喜爱的男女二重咏叹调，很美。

贴出Sarah Brightman和Domingo这个版本的来听听吧。

就是National art center, 是渥太华大型音乐艺术表演的唯一场所（可怜首都城市连个歌剧院都没有），Link在这儿

Home | National Arts Centre

这页正好可以看到我上面贴子提到的这个免费的交响乐晚会的信息，喜欢的不妨去听听，周五是歌剧表演，周六是交响乐，记住早点带上个沙滩椅去占个好座位，停车很困难，去得晚了恐怕得停到唐人街去了，有孩子更要早去，应该有face painting和小吃摊，有些玩儿头， have fun!
