Paris is alive, with the sound of music

So as you have already figured out aleady (hopefully), I live in Paris (smiley smiley) and if you read my previous post, I live in the 5eme arrondissement. To be more specific, I live exceptionally close to the Notre Dame. (I'll probably end up writing more about my location in a future post and not here, because it's not that relevant.)

As in many capital cities, you always have shows. People singing, rollerskating, playing music, fire dancers, singers, the lot. I can hear the shows that goes on by the Notre Dame area every night, and I love it. I love being in the Capital, having been in a (too) calm banlieue (suburb) the past year. I love having people around, the noise, the ease of going out or getting home..you get my drift.

Tonight, I was able to hear a really good singer who reminded me of James Blunt, and also some other jazz music group. It was like being at a concert, but in the comfort of my own home! So here's TWO photos of my first music event I've ever been to. The BRITs in 2006 - James Blunt (I can't remember what song he sang) and Kanye West (Touch the Sky). We won tickets for the Brits and the Grammy's in 2006 through a Mastercard competition. (I know, how brilliant is that!)

The BRITS: Music galore, Singers, Red Carpet, Awards

My favourite performance out of the BRITs and Grammy's was Kelly Clarkson, this song (and the Breakaway Album) was a firm favourite of mine for ages. I know it's always better hearing a singer live, but here's what gave me the chills:
