M-Pact

STARSTRUCK is the word!


Just went for the most amazing thing I've heard in my life. Must thank Tab for an experience man. hahaha...




























M-pact is such an inspiration. I think I've heard so many acapella groups but this one is the best best best best best best. AHHHHH hahhahaha. I feel like I've just met Relient K or something AhhhhHHHH... Lisa and I were dancing after they signed our CDs. Hahaha..

Great singing impacts me TONS. It's the greatest thing everr... I heard too much indie and stuff these days, and the thing is singing in musical bands are usually very slack when it comes to vocals.

And in choir days we used to go for things like these; like acapella stuff and concerts, and we used to get alot of influences from it. And I remember that was the time when I really loved singing. Like you hear all the great singers, with their perfect pitch and their perfect vibratos.. its mesmerizing. It makes me wanna be just like them. Doing what they do and just using their voices to make great music. Its gets to me alot.

But I guess I forgot how it felt after being out of choir and being influenced by other genres of music. These weeks I've been so close to people who play instruments, I forgot what made me love music so much in the first place. I don't know why, but I think most music focus on only one segment of music - either instruments or vocals. And personally, the ultimate band would be one that explores vocal technique/harmony and also musical instruments. Haha, I've not come across something like that yet.


The voice. Such a small part of our bodies, but yet so powerful and so versatile. More real and more beautiful than what any instrument can play. There's no limit for it. We can just go on and on finding new ways and new patterns and new styles with it. No stopping what we can find out of it.
I'm just envious of their vocal range. It's huuuge. And I think why they get to me so much is cause their all male singers. With the most amazing voices.


Singing might seem like no big deal, but it is for me.

But to be a great singer takes discipline. And alot of practice. And I hear these guys there, doing it so naturally on stage. They have absolutely no stage-fear. It all comes so so naturally. WOW. Just amazing. Just wow. All of them had a specific distinct part of them that's really cool. And without britt, the whole band would lose all it's spunk man. It's cause of Britt (haha the michael-jackson-ish guy) that makes the concert so enjoyable.

Okay I think there's this guy whose voice is the most crazy thing I've heard. Can't remember his name. I think he's Trist or Marco or some other name which I forgot. haha...


Haha it gets to me alot alot. I feel like talking about them all night.

Haha I'm such a fanatic.



GOSH THEIR CD IS SO AWESOME.



Hahaha...
