Review: I love this duet. Esmee Denters is fantastic, but the One Republic singer kind of steals the show. It's his song, though, so he should. If they sold this as a single, it could sell over 1 million copies.
If you haven't seen the movie August Rush, you should (click here for the trailer) -- it's a great, inspiring movie about an orphan boy who is a musical genius born to two musicians. In the movie, August Rush plays the guitar kind of like a drum. Here on YouTube Justin Bieber attempts to do the same thing. It's been a while since I saw the movie, but I think the movie version was more impressive (although who knows if it is was fake or not). In any event, this Justin Bieber kid seems like an amazing musical talent!
Justin Bieber is only 13 years old, but he's impressing a lot of people on YouTube with his voice. Here he is peforming for Usher. He's already performed for Esmee Denters. So I wonder if that means Justin Timberlake has signed this boy to a recording contract?
This is my latest mashup video. I've just begun playing around with Flickr photos that are licensed under Creative Commons licenses.

The Creative Commons community on Flickr is pretty amazing. The photos in this video are just a sample of the millions of truly impressive photos on Flickr.
News: You can get the tracks of Radiohead's "Nude" to remix on iTunes. I've purchased the tracks and may give it whirl, even though I really don't know what I'm doing! You can find out more about the remix contest at Radiohead's site.
