Shayne Thomas Ward
OK, so I came across these in my favorites while looking for Jesse stuff. I had to make a post about him. I think I love him as much as Jesse. Actually, I am pretty sure they are equal at #1 for best male pop artist on my list.
You may be saying "who?" right about now. This is who he is:
Shayne Thomas Ward (born October 16, 1984) is an English pop singer, who rose to prominence in the United Kingdom and Ireland, as well as Asia, after winning the second series of The X Factor. As of 2008 Ward has sold over 1 million records worldwide with 600,000 of his debut album been sold in Asia and around 980,000 of both albums in the UK.
Over the Rainbow. This performance was 10 kinds of amazing. I get chills when I listen to it. His voice is fucking crazy. His falsetto? It's better than any other male pop singer.
Click to viewI love his performance of I Believe in a Thing Called Love because it really shows how effortless it is for him to use his falsetto. He's just walking around while singing this high Damn, boy!
No Promises is such a good song. I really love it.
It's even better Acoustic!
I Cry is such a pretty song:
Next To Me is a jam!
Shayne is not the best dancer, but he has a lot of heart. He knows he's not the best. On one of the videos on his site he says he's gonna keep doing it so that he can get better. Why am I talking about dancing? If That's OK With You is the next song!
This has to be the sexiest video I have EVER seen. It blew my mind the first time I saw it. He has huge balls for this one. lol No U Hang Up:
Breathless is kind of like part 2 to the video above. The same model is used. That note that he hits in the middle? Um, hells yes!
I almost feel guilty picturing you get naked You Make Me Wish never fails to make me dance. The lyrics are cheesy, but the notes he hits in it are not!
I'll say what I want and you can make sure/I get it on the count of three/A pretty face on a body like that/don't come along every day/Maybe I'm over confident but /You'll say my name U Got Me So should have been a single with a video. It is amazing. It reminds me of why I stan for Shayne.
I have dance routine made up to this song. I made it up at work on night to stay awake. lol When we get a better video camera I will post it up here.
I really think that this song could have broken him in the US. It's SO SO good. It's a damn shame that it's hidden as the last song on the CD. I hope he uses this voice more on his new CD.
OK, he won XFactor so of course he's good at covers. Here are two really good ones. Apologize and Could U Be Loved:
Wow, this is longer than I expected. So, I'm stopping here. I'm gonna make a part 2 sometime soon!
