Moonwhisper: Within Temptation Tribute Band

Moonwhisper is Within Temptation tribute band from Brazil.  I came across them when I was on twitter (@TPapageorgeo) and their lead singer Tyta Montrase tweeted "@WTofficial i have a tribute band here in brazil too, about 8 years now! Hope u guys know that! youtube channel <moonwhisper> ;)".

I looked them up on youtube.  They are horrible.  On a scale of one (1) to ten (10) with ten being the best I would give the band (excluding Tyta the lead singer) a 3.  However, Tyta sounds like a cat being drowned and I would give her a 1.  If she tried out for American Idol, she would be one of those the producers would leave in the show to show how bad some auditions were.  

    

I can not believe they have been around for eight years.  Moonwhisper needs stop playing.  They are doing a big disservice to Within Temptation by being a horrible tribute band.

Symphonic Rock Singers

I'm really into symphonic rock especially from Nightwish (the first symphonic rock band that I ever heard), Within Temptation, and Epica.  What I find really strange is that people compare Tarja Turunen (former singer of Nightwish), Sharon den Adel (Within Temptation), and  Simmon Simmons (Epica) to each other.  One comment I saw on "Cry for the Moon live at Pinkpop" (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=g9oHNBth2Ak) was "She (Simmon Simmons) sucks Tarja is best singer."

I find it strange that people compare the three, since even though all three bands are classified as symphonic rock, the three groups are so different from each other in the style of their music.  Nightwish uses the combination of a female lead singer and male lead singer really well, Within Temptation has a nice classical feel, and Epica uses a nice blend of a lead female vocalist with screamo male backup vocals.  Personally, I think all three singers are great singers and the bands perform great music.

Kids reaction to Star Wars

I found this kids reaction to finding out Vader was Luke's dad hilarious.

t.A.T.u

Wow.  They really messed up lip syncing for this song.  It must have been really embarrassing.  However, I do like their wardrobe choice for this concert.
