Sam Verlinden performing in Auckland’s favored event!

Santa Sam

Coca Cola in the ParkChristmas is right around the corner and so is the annual Christmas in the Park event to be held in Auckland on December 12th.

Sam Verlinden has been rehearsing and getting ready to showcase his marvelous singing talent which is sure to please the large crowd expected to attend.  The event will be televised and recorded so this blogger can cover the post reporting for all of you.
Sam who just turned 12 this past month, is the youngest performer named for this event.  This is quite an honor for Sam, but has not come to him without much work and effort.
Sam continues to impress with his latest performances in the musicals “Oliver” and “Tommy”.  Watching and listening to Sam is pure joy and I know that the same way he has made his country proud at past contests, he will make the producers proud to have chosen him for this event.

At the end of the month Sam will continue to be a crowd pleaser as he performs with some of the other boys who were in Oliver.

“The Oliver Boys”, as they are so aptly named, will be singing songs from the musical throughout the city. This will be a real treat for those who were unable to catch the musical which ran for four weeks in Auckland at the SkyCity theater.
If you missed the Nov. 8th post you will want to go back and read all about these fine young men and watch the video clips of their performance on stage.

I’m not sure what Sam has planned yet for 2010, but if he is half as busy as he was this year we are in for a real exciting ride.  Be sure to visit Sam’s Website and wish him a Merry Christmas.  Girl’s you don’t want to miss his picture there!

Jordan Jansen “Simply Sensational”!

Jordan Jansen

Simply Sensational is all that comes to mind with you speak of this young man.  He’s been rightfully named the Boy Wonder from Down Under!  Jordan never ceases to amaze me.

Whether it’s the changes of his background page on You Tube, his more than fantastic music videos, his personable blogs, his ability to stay so kind and thoughtful to all of his fans and promoters, his new found talents of playing other instruments, or just the fact that his voice stays so pure and enjoyable.  Whatever the reason you choose, Jordan Jansen is a sure fire winner!


Jordan is breaking all barriers at SoundCheck by staying well in the lead due to his overwhelming following of voting fans.  ” Thanks Fans” !  My recent voting visit showed him nearly 1,000 votes ahead of his closest competitor in Round 16 of the Contest.  This contest will end Feb 1st so it’s not far from conclusion.  However don’t stop voting because the month of January will be the most difficult when the judges bring back some very heavy competitors for the Final round of the competition.
He also has soared to 9th Place in another WonderWorld TV contest which I’m sure he will capture before you know it!  So get out and vote because this is one young man who not only deserves your vote but has earned it.
Jordan you keep inspiring everyone with your motivation and drive.  If it’s not too much trouble could you please bottle some of that energy and send it over the ocean to me?  This is one old blogger that gets winded just trying to keep typing as fast as you are climbing the ladder to success.  You are a bright and shining example of what can be done if you passionately go after your dreams.
Jordan, you are exactly what this blog titles says today,

Simply Sensational!
