47 Year old Susan Boyle wows the judges with her performance in the auditions for Britains Got Talent, singing I dreamed a dream from Les Miserables.

----------------------------------------------
Here are the Lyrics :

I dreamed a dream in time gone by
When hope was high,
And life worth living
I dreamed that love would never die
I dreamed that God would be forgiving.

Then I was young and unafraid
When dreams were made and used,
And wasted
There was no ransom to be paid
No song unsung,
No wine untasted.

But the tigers come at night
With their voices soft as thunder
As they tear your hopes apart
As they turn your dreams to shame.

And still I dream he'll come to me
And we will live our lives together
But there are dreams that cannot be
And there are storms
We cannot weather...

I had a dream my life would be
So different from this hell I'm living
So different now from what it seems
Now life has killed
The dream I dreamed.

Is a Social Media Friend Really a Freind?

 clipped from mashable.com

Would you trust a social media friend with your money? Your home? Your significant other? Your children? Your life? Your answer to those questions will determine whether or not you feel that friends, as used in social media, are friends like you had in school or if they're better labeled as something else.


The social media friend is the key ingredient that makes digital media social. Social media users have the ability to create a user profile which lists relevant information about them. The user can then select other users to be friends, followers, buddies, contacts, or some other relevant noun. Showing that you are a friend of another social media user indicates that there is some form of relationship between the two of you. The connection may be weak, but it's important enough for you to tell the world about it.


The thing is that sometimes the people that we identify as social media friends are people we barely know or that we've never met in person. The act of befriending another person on sites like Facebook, Digg, StumbleUpon, or Twitter can be tactical moves as often as they are signs of genuine affection and solidarity.


Let's take a look at the major roles that social media friends can play – some are friendlier than others:


Friends and family: yes, some of the people you encounter within social media will be people that you really do know. These folks can be a source of love, companionship, and empathy. Facebook's Friends were intended be your real life friends. Kind of an appropriate name, don't you think?


Information sources: social media is all about sharing stuff. The basic currency of this realm is shared ideas and information. Want to know about the pros and cons of a particular car, computer, vacation resort, or restaurant? Throw the question into social media space and you can get a multitude of responses. Social media users like to give stuff away. Giving away information and otherwise being helpful is an effective way to attract social media users; so is being nice.


Connectors: in The Tipping Point, Malcolm Gladwell describes a class of influencer called the connector. Connectors collect people. Not literally, but they enjoy meeting and learning about people. Connectors like to introduce people who they think will benefit from meeting each other. This kind of social media user (not unlike the host of a party, conference, or meeting) is a great source of referrals, introductions, and connections to other people. This is an important and sometimes underappreciated role in any social environment, both in personal and professional matters.


Prospects: whether it's potential clients, worker bees, or evangelists, social media provides a way to collect people for future use. This is a cynical way of looking at the "tribe" concept that's currently espoused by marketers and by no means is it the norm. But it's out there and it's personified by people who add 50,000 plus friends in Twitter, all in the hope that a few of them will follow back and become a captive audience.




Groupies: just like the fanatical gals (or guys) who follow rock bands around and fulfill some of their more basic needs, prominent social media users collect followers who are there to witness (and celebrate) anything their idol says or does. OK, perhaps that's a bit harsh, but there is a grain of truth to this. People will follow other people in order to feel slightly closer to someone who they admire or worship. I'm not immune to this. I follow Wil Wheaton on Twitter because he posts quirky and interesting things. He follows far fewer people than follow him and I'm one of the many who haven't been followed back. By contrast, people like Robert Scoble and Jason Calacanis maintain ratios much closer to 1:1. They're all busy people, but some people make a point of returning the following favor. Others don't and that's fine, too. However, some people seem to get a thrill out of building up a legion of followers.


While Friend is a useful "catch all" term used in social media, it doesn't have a single meaning. Facebook's Friend functionality does a good job of qualifying the relationship between its friends by several categories, including family, school, and work connections. Tara Hunt, aka Miss Rogue on Twitter, suggests that the XFN distinctions to classify types of friends would be a good addition to social networking sites. "Very few of my thousands of relationships actually fall under true friendship," says Hunt. When you think about theories like Dunbar's number, which posits a limitation of approximately 150 significant connections or relationships that each person can have at one time, Hunt has brought up the logical point that it's very difficult to have huge numbers of meaningful relationships with hundreds or thousands of social media friends.


The term friend will remain in social media for a long time to come: it's embedded into social networking culture. I think that contact is really a better term to use because it's more consistently accurate. Contacts are people who know each other, even if only superficially, and they've given each other permission to reach out and communicate to each other. Contacts can also be real friends. However, as I asked at the beginning of this article, would you trust a social media friend with something that's precious to you? Trust is not a default – it needs to be earned. Maybe that's the best test to use when trying to figure out if your friends are really friends, online or offline.

IndoIdol - Panggung Pembuktian Aris dan Gisel


Sunday, 27 July 2008

LUAR BIASA Dua finalis Gisel dan Aris saat tampil bareng di Grand Final Indonesian Idol 2008 di Hall D arena PRJ Kemayoran, Jakarta tadi malam. Penampilan dua finalis ini mendapat sambutan meriah ribuan pendukungnya.

JAKARTA (SINDO) – Persaingan siapa yang bakal menyandang gelar Indonesia Idol 2008 telah dimulai oleh Aris dan Gisel tadi malam.

Dua grand finalis unjuk kemampuan di depan 8.000 penonton yang memadati Hall D Arena Pekan Raya Jakarta tadi malam. Kemeriahan mewarnai puncak ajang pencarian bakat tersebut ketika penonton tiada henti meneriakkan dukungan kepada kedua grand finalis selama hampir 2.5 jam.

Dengan iringan Magenta Orchestra pimpinan Andi Ryanto dan tampil di atas panggung seluas 500 meter persegi dengan tatanan lampu sebesar 650 kilowatt, stage Grand Final Indonesian Idol 2008bagaikan tercipta khusus untuk Aris dan Gisel.Kesempatan untuk membuktikan diri sebagai idola ini tak disia-siakan oleh keduanya.

Setengah jam sebelum acara disiarkan langsung oleh RCTI,gema dukungan untuk Aris dan Gisel sudah terdengar sejak pintu masuk Hall D Arena Pekan Raya Jakarta.Ditambah lagi ketika dua buah layar besar 20x6 meter memutarkan video tentang perjalanan kedua calon idola ini. Di setiap sisi arena terdengar jelas teriakan yang mengelu-elukan nama finalis asal Jakarta dan Surabaya ini.

Keriuhan sangat terasa di antara dua kubu, pendukung Gisel pada sayap kiri dan suporter Aris di sayap kanan panggung. Belum lagi mereka yang berdiri tepat di bibir panggung, yang berhasil memberikan adrenalin berbeda kepada kedua grand finalis ini. Pertarungan di grand final ini semakin terasa ketika Aris membuka acara dengan memasuki arena bersama dengan lebih dari 50 temanteman pengamennya yang juga mengiringi calon idola ini naik ke atas panggung.

Lewat lagu Permintaan Hati milik grup musik Letto, Aris berhasil memanaskan para penonton yang hadir. Penonton yang duduk pun tak bisa menahan emosi untuk berdiri dari kursi mereka dan menggetarkan arena. Sebagai finalis asal Jakarta, Aris jelas mendapat sambutan lebih dari separuh penonton yang hadir tadi malam.

Tak mau kalah dengan Aris, Gisel pun naik di atas panggung menyambut pendukungnya dengan lagu upbeat berjudul Mengapa Semua Harus Terjadi. Lagu itu membuat pendukung Gisel tidak mau tinggal diam untuk terus memberi suntikan semangat kepada idola mereka. Kolaborasi antara dua calon idola ini pun terjadi ketika keduanya menyanyikan lagu Pandangan Pertama milik grup musik RAN.

Lagu ini mau tidak mau menggoda penonton untuk bernyanyi bersama idola mereka.Pada momen ini, sangat jelas terlihat persaingan antara Gisel dan Aris.Keduanya berusaha menarik perhatian penonton, bernyanyi dengan nadanada tinggi, yang memang berhasil mengejutkan semua yang hadir, termasuk ketiga komentator, Anang,Titi DJ, dan Indra Lesmana.

Ajang tadi malam menjadi pembuktian bagi keduanya bahwa salah satu di antara mereka layak menjadi idola dan kebanggaan Indonesia. Selama Indonesian Idol musim kelima ini, Aris memang kerap dijagokan oleh para juri. Dari awal babak spektakuler, dia nyaris tak pernah mendapat kritik dari ketiga komentator. Namun, Gisel menyadari bahwa dia tidak bisa tinggal diam.Dia pun terus berusaha menyusul kemampuan Aris.

Hal tersebut dibuktikannya dengan pembelajaran tiada henti hingga menuai pujian dari Anang, yang dikenal sering memberikan komentar pedas. Sebanyak tiga lagu dibawakan keduanya secara bergantian.Aris tampak konsisten dengan kemampuan dan gayanya yang khas dengan penuh semangat. Sementara Gisel sukses memukau penonton dengan menyanyikan lagu-lagu bernada tinggi.

Tak ada lagi Gisel yang terpeleset di ujung lagu seperti yang pernah dilakukannya di babak spektakuler. Hal ini sontak membuat Titi DJ tak tahan untuk melontarkan pujian kepada dara manis berusia 17 tahun ini. ”Perubahan kamu sungguh luar biasa. Saya rasa kamu layak menjadi idola,” ujar salah satu diva pop Indonesia ini. Gisel dan Aris juga membuktikan kelayakan mereka untuk dibawa ke ajang internasional dengan menyanyikan lagu The Reason milik Hoobastank oleh Aris dan That’s The Way It Is milik Celine Dion oleh Gisel.

Project Leader Indonesian Idol Yogi Hartarto mengatakan, ajang tadi malam menjadi pertarungan sengit bagi dua grand finalis ini. ”Persaingan mereka berdua sangat ketat. Menurut saya perbedaan dukungan SMS untuk mereka minggu depan akan sangat tipis,”ujarnya. Perjalanan panjang kedua calon idola Indonesia ini memang luar biasa.

Keduanya sama-sama memiliki kisah dramatis yang akhirnya membawa mereka ke panggung spektakuler. Gisel yang dulunya hanya sebagai penyanyi pernikahan dan acara ulang tahun di Surabaya ternyata bukanlah anak manja seperti yang dikatakan banyak orang. Menjadi seorang anak tunggal tak membuatnya menjadi tergantung kepada orangtuanya. Sejak taman kanakkanak dia sudah mandiri dengan ikut bernyanyi bersama badut penghibur.

Sementara Aris memiliki pengalaman pahit ketika dirinya harus keluar dari sekolah untuk bekerja sebagai pengamen agar bisa menghidupi keluarganya. Dengan lolos ke babak grand final, keduanya berharap bisa meraih mimpi untuk menjadi idola Indonesia. (megiza)
