Beautiful Voices- Male Musical Artists

a couple posts ago, i had two posts stating "beautiful faces"
so i decided that i wanted to do it with musical artists as well, but more focused on their voice.
i may at times talk about their faces too :)
here are my top 5 beautiful voices

number 5: Kevin Jonas

who he is: oldest member of the Jonas Brothers

first heard: "It's About Time"

yes, i was a huge fan of the Jonas Brothers, and i still am! :)

Kevin only sang back-up vocals through the Jonas Brothers' career together,

but he had one song that he sang lead for that was on their tv show.

it was called Scandinavia Listen

i had never heard his voice solo before and it was awesome!

number 4: Brandon Flowers

who he is: lead singer of the Killers

first heard: "Somebody Told Me"

i have been a fan of Brandon's voice since i first heard it.

aside from being in the Killers, he's got a solo album which has the song "Crossfire" which is one of my favorite songs ever! the music video is really cool too! watch

number 3: Jason Castro

who he is: 3rd runner up on the 7th season of American Idol

first heard: American Idol

my previous post has a little bit about Jason Castro in it.

he has a very soft voice, but it's confident and smooth.

he is also the reason i started playing the ukulele♥

number 2: Danny Donoghuh

who he is: lead singer of the Script♥

first heard: "The Man Who Can't Be Moved"

i remember the first time i heard that song, i was on my way to go skiing

and when i got home i listened to that song over and over again!

i couldn't get enough, i still can't get enough!

he really gets into his music, which makes his voice absolutely beautiful

here is an example of how he gets into the mood and music watch

number 1: Greg Laswell

nuff said :)



Dreadlocks

i am fond of dradlocks. i think they are absolutely beautiful.
so natural and different.
i first noticed how much i liked dreadlocks when i watched Jason Castro on American Idol.

i like his voice a lot and i thought it was that his was the way it was. as the season of American Idol progressed and Jason got farther and farther into the competition, they would show little interview clips before the contestant's performance. Jason would sometimes talk about his hair, and i found myself hoping every week that he would talk about his hair. i didn't do any research on them until i went to the state fair in 2010. there were so many people with dreadlocks at the fair, i was so happy that i could see dreadlocks in person rather than tv.
after the fair, i started doing research on dread and i started considering having dreads myself.
after a lot of research and preparation, i finally got dreadlocks on December 15, 2010. (back combed my hair tightly in sections) unfortunately, they kept falling out, not completely, but there was so much lookse hair, it didn't even look like dreads anymore. i kept back combing, but the same results kept happening.
so exactly a month later (not long at all i know, but i was losing confidence fast), January 15, 2011 i combed my hair out.
i was heartbroken.
in May of 2011 i decided to try the dreads again, but this time i was going to try the natural method. (keeping the hair clean, but not combing or touching it)
i only made it 3 weeks.
i wanted immediate results, so i got frustrated and gave up.
i was angry at myself for not being patient (i was having some self-esteem issues at the time, which i think greatly contributed to my failure)
amazingly, in 2011, i learned to love myself a lot, something i had been trying to accomplish for a long time.
sooo that whole story was to lead up to my saying, i'm trying again!
third time's a charm right? ;)
i'm going with the natural method.
i haven't combed my hair for a week now and it's so messy!
i am now on a journey of practicing patience and i am so much more determined this time!

1 week

well wish me luck! :)
