Nuttin` But Stringz

Nuttin` But Stringz are two brothers, Damien and Tourie Escobar who both play violin. The exciting thing is that they play rap, classical, hip hop, R&B and Rock and Roll with their violin. I`ve never seen something like that before. It`s just amazing! They are from Queens in New York City and placed third on the third show of American`s Got Talent. I found a video of them in youtube when I was randomly looking at some stuff and I was amazed when I saw them playing. They have great Talent and do something unique. It`s very impressing how they do that because it is not easy to play how they do in all those different styles of music.

Nothing But The Best From Nuttin' But Stringz

Urban rock violin duo Nuttin' But Stringz came by to talk about their success following their appearance on the third season of America's Got Talent. They also performed "Broken Sorrow" and "Thunder" live in our studio, both of which can be found on their Grammy-nominated album, Struggle From the Subway to the Charts. The title stems from their past, in which they played music on the subways for money, to their present-day success.
The New York duo grew up in Jamaica, Queens. Short-handed as N.B.S., the twosome comprises of teenage brothers Damien and Tourie Escobar. They are a breath of fresh air in the music industry today as they channel their streetwise style in a very unconventional way: through their violin-playing. Their music is an intense hybrid of classical music, R&B, hip-hop and jazz.
N.B.S. will be performing with Aretha Franklin at The Kennedy Center for Martin Luther King Day (January 19), as well as three different inaugural events during the week of President-Elect Barack Obama's inauguration week. In addition, they will be performing at the celeb-founded organization event "Declare Yourself" hosted by Jessica Alba and on-stage with music icons like Carrie Underwood on January 18


I hope you enjoyed it:)

Natalie Okri

the 10-year old Natalie Okri, who is a big ByoncĂ© fan, is the first person  I want to talk about who has an amzing talent. Her voice made people speechless when she auditioned for the show `Britain`s Got Talent`. She is confident and sings on stage like a professional singer. Her goal is to show other people what she can do and she participated in the show because she wanted to buy a new house for her mom and her sister if she wins. I think she is an adorable girl. Natalie said in an interview that other kids in school would bully her because of her talent and because she can`t afford to wear the newest fashion. I think she is a special girl who has a talent that not many girls in her age have and it doesn`t matter what they think about her because she showed her talent to the world and people just love her.

    
 I found this article from MailOnline about Natalie Okri


Baby Beyonce who wowed Britain's Got Talent judges being bullied for her stunning voice


IN pigtails and pinafore she looks like a typical ten-year-old schoolgirl.
But Natalie Okri transforms into a rather grown-up soul diva - the moment she opens her mouth to sing.
Her impressive performance on Britain’s Got Talent won over the judges and led to a standing ovation from the audience.
But the response from her classmates has been anything but complimentary.
Natalie Okri has revealed she has been bullied because of her performance on Britain's Got Talent
The tiny singer, who idolises the singer Beyonce, has told how envious classmates have taunted her because of her  extraordinary musical ability.
    ‘There is one girl in my class who makes fun of me because I wear ordinary clothes and she wears fashion stuff,' said Natalie, who lives with her mother and sister, 20, in a flat in South London.
    ‘She is the gang leader and there are about six of them who make me cry. But I know I can win and show them all what I can do.’
    Natalie impressed Simon Cowell and his fellow judges with her rendition of Alicia Keys' No One. 
    She told the judging panel she had been singing since the age of four.
    'I sing at home and I sometimes even sing when I am having my dinner.
     I want to be a singer and a diva and I definitely want to be like Beyonce,' she said.
    Natalie quickly won over the audience with her remarkably powerful voice, while even the normally cynical Cowell dcelared: ‘I think you are totally and utterly adorable.’
    Amanda Holden described the performance: ‘Just knockout brilliant,’ while Piers Morgan enthused: 'You are a very very little girl with a very very big voice, I loved it.'
    Natalie, who is estranged from her father, said she wanted to win the competition and £100,000 prize money to buy a new house for her mother and sister.

    Welcome to my blog

    I am Debora and I started this blog because I think it is interesting to write about Amazing Talents. I really like seeing what some people can do and how amazing and unique their talents are and I want to share that with others, too. I will write about a different person every day who I think has an amazing talent. I think it's a very interesting theme to talk about and it's just awesome to see people with different talents all over the world. It makes you feel like nothing is impossible to do. There are great people with big talents out there that we don't even know about and I will try to find those people and show what they can do because they deserve the attention from the whole world.


    I hope you will enjoy reading my blog and comment on it if you want. I am exited to start this blog and I hope to get many people to read this. Thank you:)
