Cathy Nguyen

Who is she? Well, I just came across a video of hers by accident on YouTube today when I saw this cute girl performing a cover of Jason Mraz’s "Lucky". The first thing that struck me was….she is cute! She performed it with another guy named Aj Rafael (Jason Mraz’z song is a duet with Colbie Caillat) in a bathroom because it supposedly gives them a "more acoustic" sound. And MY GOD…that voice!!! She is not only cute but this girl can also sing!….it was like a "love at first sight" moment!

So after being mesmerized by her voice, I Googled her up in search of more tracks of hers. I eventually stumbled upon her MySpace profile and guess what…I loved all her songs. She does mostly covers but they still sound good anyway. My favorite track at the moment is "Getting Stronger". I’m trying to search for more of her tracks everywhere but it seems she isn’t really well known yet outside the US. She is like one of those independent artistes that are currently not attached to any recording label. But hey…that’s how Marie Digby first got discovered too…on YouTube.

Being so in love with her voice and cuteness, I then manage to find the lyrics to my favorite song…

Getting Stronger

Listen to me I’m feeling afraid
Of something in my life that is wrong
And your trying to tell me that I’m okay
Don’t worry because I am strong

I know it gets hard sometimes but remember that I’m only human
And the things that I face are the same things that you can help me to overcome

I don’t want nobody else
I don’t need somebody else to tell me about love
I am strong on my own
But if you think you can tell me
Why the things I’m doing is going wrong
It’s just me getting stronger

Well I’m here to tell you that I’m ok
That with or without you I’m the same
But don’t get me wrong I’m still waiting for the day
When we can say we went all the way

Life is about all the meaningful things that we get to share with each other
So leave the past behind in each other we’ll find our love is strong again

Pretty meaningful right? But just don’t take my word for it, go check out her songs and also watch how cute she is in those videos and tell me what you think? Oh btw, if you come across any of her CDs or songs in mp3 format…please, please, PLEASE let me know ya… :)
