“Fall” In Love: The Jayesslee Sisters in Vancouver

a70 — Mon, 07 Nov 2011 00:31:37 +0000

The YouTube sensation twin sisters from Australia, Janice and Sonia Lee, aka jayesslee, were in Vancouver last month on the 14th! After hearing their covers on YouTube, I couldn’t miss this chance to hear them live!

The concert started out with the string trio, Infinitus, moving on to Ezra Kwizera from Rwanda, and then the third special guest was Jay Calder on acoustic guitar (you can hear a bit of his music in the videos embedded in this post).

Then of course, everyone was thrilled when the the twins took the stage after about an hour and half into the show! Janice and Sonia kept the audience “in love” with their harmonious voices for the reminder of the time, even with a few songs that haven’t been released on their YouTube channel before! Their bubbly personalities, smiles, and interactions with the audience certainly make it a night to remember. Loved the set decoration. I’ve also included three of their videos at the end :-)

Hope they are back in Vancouver for another concert soon!

2011 Celebration of Light – Canada

a70 — Wed, 10 Aug 2011 06:40:51 +0000

Following up with the last fireworks show of the summer is Canada with “Then and Now.” I must say they made some interesting music choices, but did quite well with syncing it up with the fireworks.
I still liked Spain better, and there wasn’t much wind this time around… which makes a bad photo-taking environment :-( Nonetheless, here’s a recap!

2011 Celebration of Light – Spain

Spain put on another great display of fireworks on Wednesday – “Odyssey” was the theme; too bad the smoke was being blown towards us. We also had a bonus acrobatic plane show prior to the fireworks that drew quite a few ooo’s and ahhh’s. Lucky night to be at English Bay!

Magic Fountain of Montjuïc, with possibly one of the best outdoor shows I’ve seen.

Thank you to all my photoblog readers for all your support and comments – hope you all have a great Christmas and a happy holiday season!
I’m still backlogged in terms of photos. New York, Vegas, and pretty soon, Spain. I’ll try to manage all of these in the new year!
