Amazing "Smooth Criminal" performance cello style

"Smooth Criminal" is probably my all time fave MJ song, so when I saw this on The Ellen Degeneres Show today I was blown away.

I love instrumental music in general and I've always liked the cello, after watching this I think it's my new favourite instrument (next to the piano).

Happy Holidays from the WTA!

Roger Federer's amazing shot for Gillette Fusion Commercial

I've been posting a lot of match stuff lately here's a little something different to brighten your Monday. Enjoy ;).



Dude has mad skills I tell ya, mad skills!.

Roger Federer: Love & Passion

Martina Hingis World Team Tennis videos

Lot's of videos lately.

Here's Martina playing against long time rival Venus Williams in the 2010 WTT.

Hopefully there will be more to come. Enjoy ;)

Memorable Martina Moment: Australian Open '06 Quarterfinal

Even though she lost this I had forgotten how entertaining this match was, and how incredibly happy I was to see her out on court again.

Making some very difficult shots look very easy especially for someone who had been away from the game for 3 years.

Her court finesse was a definite breath of fresh air. Damn do I miss those days....

Martina Hingis & Anna Kournikova BBC interview

Centre Court?. Damn that had to feel nice for both of them.

I haven't seen the match yet but I have no doubt the place was probably packed.

It seems like everyone believes Martina could still make another successful return, everyone besides Martina herself that is.

She must be getting real tired of answering that question too.

Martina Hingis blast from the past from ESPN Classic

Awww, look at the fresh faced Martina Hingis :). I don't think I've ever seen this special.

Just one of the many I missed over the years I guess. Lovely little bio piece.

Song of the Moment: Hanson- Give A Little

This is fast becoming one of my absolute faves off of their newest album "Shout It Out". June 8th can't come soon enough!.

Songs like these are the reason I've remained a fan of theirs for so many years. Or I should extend that to albums.

Unlike a lot of artists today all of their albums are very different, but at the same time always have a familiar sound (with perfect harmonies at the core).

What I love about this album is how positive it is, all of the songs just make you wanna jump around and dance.

In that way it's unique to all their previous efforts (which were equally catchy mind you). Just never to this extent. And I love it!. :)

Roger Federer French Open post-match interview 1st round

Nothing new, or earth shattering in the interview. In fact the only thing going through my head while I was watching was "Roger should wear more blue". LOL

Seriously it really suits him. And also is it me, or does the man get better and better looking with every passing day?. Just sayin' ;).

An "Earth Song" for Earth Day

In honor of Earth Day a beautifully poignant reminder why we should remember to respect our planet.



What about sunrise
What about rain

What about all the things
That you said we were to gain...
What about killing fields....

Did you ever stop to notice
This crying Earth its weeping shores?...

What have we done to the world
Look what we've done....

Hey, what about yesterday
What about the seas

The heavens are falling down
I can't even breathe...

What about nature's worth
It's our planet's womb

What about animals
We've turned kingdoms to dust

What about elephants
Have we lost their trust

What about crying whales
We're ravaging the seas

What about forest trails
Burnt despite our pleas

What about the holy land
Torn apart by creed

What about the common man
Can't we set him free

What about children dying
Can't you hear them cry

Where did we go wrong
Someone tell me why

Earth Song~ Micheal Jackson

Martina Hingis Strade2 (French) Interview

I found it interesting that Martina chose to speak English even though she knows French quite well.

Perhaps speaking French brings up too many bad memories of the '99 Roland Garros final.

So apparently she only follows the men's matches these days (guess she finds the WTA as boring as I do *lol*).

No disrespect to Kim Clijsters and Justine Henin of course.

Btw. I have to say lovin' her new haircut! (definitely suits her).

Song of the Moment: Tracy Chapman-The Promise

This song is so relaxing, and it's perfect if you're in an introspective mood.

Kim Clijsters & Justine Henin having fun at Roland Garros

The things one can find on the Internet:



*LOL*

Here's a rough translation courtesy of tennisdelight.com

Translation: Justine enters, Hi then she throws the towel and says BYE Kim Enters, IS this yours and she throw the teddy bear.

Then the guys say “do you know how to recognize Belgian fans at Roland garros” his friend replied “no” then he said “they will buy a ticket to watch at center court but Justine is playing at lenglen”.

Then Justine enters ” do you know how to recognize french supporters at Roland Garros , they will buy ticket for the finals but no French player in the final, BYE

I would love to know what year this is from, if anyone knows please feel free to tell me in the comments.

Roger Federer visits Ethiopia

In honor of Valentine's Day here's a vid of Federer spreading some love in Ethiopia.

Just when you thought you couldn't possibly love the man anymore. Enjoy =).

Song of the Moment: Lady Gaga-Bad Romance

I can't seem to get enough of Lady Gaga at the moment. Those songs are so damn catchy!. *LOL*

Roger Federer post-semi interview

Entertaining as always. :D

I get the feeling Sunday is going to be another thriller (yet another sleepless night for me since it starts at 3:30 am lol).

Something tells me though that this one will end with Federer as the victor.

As for now I'm getting ready for what is no doubt to be another thriller on the women's side tonight Serena Williams vs. Henin. Ale Justine!.

Roger Federer, Jim Courier Aussie Open post match fun

(Sorry embedding is disabled).

*LOL*.

Oh Roger, sometimes I forget that you're just as much fun off the court as you are on.

And way to put him on the spot there Jim Courier with the intro of Prince William.

Not that Roger had any problem with it, I think Prince William was the one who was more embarrassed.
