一个来自费城11岁的天才女歌手Bianca Ryan(比安卡·赖安,1995年出生),在美国的综艺节目America’s Got Talent上一举成名.演唱了一首美国第一女高音Jennifer Holliday的《And I Am Telling You I'm Not Going》简直是惊为天人。全场观众起立喝彩,惊的现场评委都捂住嘴巴站了起来。这些评委也都是赫赫有名:女歌手Brandy、影星David Hasselhoff和制片人Piers Morgan,个个都是大腕级人物,他们对小女孩的赞誉也是毫不吝啬“这是我听到的最棒的声音”、“你一定是个未来之星”。8月17日总决赛,这位女孩成功夺冠,获得100万美金的奖金。
2006年11月发行了个人同名专集Bianca Ryan,该张专集不但收录了Bianca Ryan翻唱的一些经典歌曲,像The Rose,I Believe I Can Fly等,同时收录的也有自己原创的一首歌曲Why Couldn’t It Be Christmas Everyday?
看去年的第一季AGT,被这个只有十一岁,唱Jennifer Holiday这样重量级女高音的《And I'm Telling You I'm Not Going》唱得那么荡气回肠的女孩深深震撼。那样的爆发力,那样的穿透力,连同样是少女成材的Brandy都说———— I can't even do this.
这首歌寒假看 Dreamgirls时也有听到,里面的女配角Jennifer Hudson高亢的声音让我难以想象,几乎没有停顿和休止地连续那么一串高音直入云霄而且渗透着悲情(当时以为是别人唱的,后来才知道她是04美国偶像的十佳,长太丑了被淘汰,来演电影反而不经意拿了奥斯卡最佳女配角,说实话,没觉得演得好,唱得好是真,不过声音太强悍了,相对更喜欢beyonce铿锵华丽但不过于猛烈的声音,婉转自如,曼妙无方,不浑厚但轻灵)
I wait for Christmas all year long
How I wish I that I could only change it
Take the calendar and re-arrange it
Then every day would be so nice
Candy Canes and all the Snow that's fallin
Every summer would be Deck the Hallin
Every day at Christmas comes from me to you
So I pray
(这里少了两句。。。)
Why couldn't it be Christmas everyday.
Riding around with Santa on his Sleigh
Don't you know if you'll be good just like you should
You'll here those jingle bell rings
Why couldn't it be Christmas everynight
So that it will meet those twinkling lights
When you say every days a holiday
You'll here those calendars sing
Why couldn't it be Christmas Christmas Christmas everyday
Just believe in Christmas Christmas Christmas all the way
And every time I see your eyes
Their some mistletoe that's right above you
Where the Christmas gifts do say I love you
There some that say it's just a dream
But close your eyes and you can almost see it
All you have to do is just believe it
Maybe there's a stocking full of Christmas Joy
So I pray
(这里少了两句。。。)
Why couldn't it be Christmas everyday
Riding around with Santa on his Sleigh
Don't you know if you'll be good just like you should
You'll here those jingle bell rings
Why couldn't it be Christmas Christmas Christmas everyday
Just believe in Christmas Christmas Christmas all the way
Whatever kind of weather
Summer, Spring and Fall will melt together
Now I can see it clear
That we can make it ...
