Well, if you caught the show last night on Mnet, and you're rooting for me, then maybe you felt a fraction of the nerves I was feeling while we stood helplessly waiting to find out which one of the last three on stage was the second person to be sent home.
It was a strange feeling when they announced it would be Thuba - a strange mix of relief, happiness and sadness as it dawned on me that we would have to say cheers to our man, the late night singer of the Idols house. Thuba man, we will miss you, and I reckon our paths will cross some time in the future. You are young man, believe me, and you will go places. I look forward to checking you in the future and where you will be. Good luck.
And then, the happiness and relief - phew, what can I say? It feels good. I have another crack now! Shucks, I'm going to have to do something special this weekend - and it all starts with making peace with the song that has been selected for me: but you'll have to wait and see what that is. Let's jst say this, there is potential to do something a little different here. Hope the world likes it...
So what? What's this all about? Well, I've decided to get a little intimate with the world - to tell some of my stories to South Africa... to share this amazing experience and how it makes me feel, what it makes me think...
This is Jason's corner... thanks for taking the time to stop by, and please, leave a comment behind - your words mean a lot to me out here.
Hugs
Jay

Hey Jay! Big up China, never met before but as God works, it turns out you dig trees and are related to B Green and best of all you can sing. Was a big fan of yours from the start with your U2 performance but then gathered you into you non-profit organisation and trees and gardens specifically. Don't know too much about it just yet but very keen to find out and lend a hand!
ReplyDeleteAll the best with the up and coming stages. Be at peace with that track and crack it out china!
All the best,
Simcat!
