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!

“Oliver” Auckland Musical Triumph!

Oliver 1
Although the musical “Oliver” has finally come to an end it will be forever captured in the heart of every performer, director, and theatre goer in Auckland. This by far was one of the most memorable Sky City Theatre events and can only be described as a Musical Triumph!
Sam and all the boys who played in the cast made memories and gained invaluable experience working with great directors, producers, and of course the fantastic Mark Hadlow! The best thing about this show was the fact that it didn’t Pick a Pocket or Two while at the same time made you Consider Yourself At Home! It was as if it was saying; “I’d do Anything For You”.

I personally was privileged to see this wonderful musical production in the States, and while different actors, producers and directors were involved, it made an everlasting impression on me.  I know that it will stay in my heart for a long time and that the voices of so many wonderfully talented treble singers will ring in my ears for many years to come!
The last night of the show was met with many a tearful eye from each of the cast.  There is just something to be said about the emotions that erupt within the heart of every actor when you know this is the last night.  New friendships that were made during this time end far too soon.  They wonder, “Will we ever meet them again or work with them in another production”?  “Will this be the last time I ever see this co-actor”?  And even though the body is tired and seeking rest there is a resounding cry that goes up by each performer “I wish this would never end!”
Yes “Oliver” has come to an end at the theatre but these are the memories that will keep it living on forever.  And I am so happy that I have captured them here for you to return to whenever your lonely for just one more,

“Play it again Sam” !
