The Sayaka Alessandra Appreciation Topic X

[John]

You can get her to sing happy birthday for you for $15.

If you have to pay, I'd want her to visit in person to do the singing...

If you paid enough, she may consider, but for a measly $15.....

Well, if she came up to expectations, I'd be willing to give her a tip as well...

Yes, for me too (just checked). In fact, when I went to find it on YouTube yesterday (I had previously downloaded it), to get the link, I was surprised it was stretched as I didn't recall it being stretched before !

So . . . Sayaka can sing anything, plays guitar, banjo and piano - all convincingly - speaks fluent Japanese, Italian and English (with no accent), and has a wonderful way of delivering her songs. She's beautiful and unassuming, too. Apart from those qualities, I just don't understand what all the fuss is about.

[John]

She is such an incredible talent. Why she doesn't push it further is a mystery. She blows away all the other women singers I can think of right now.

[Mister Moon]

Let's hope she stays like this forever !

Oh, and she plays ukulele too - a small guitar, really.

"Lay off of them shoes" - that's really great. And a blues ending too !

Apologies for my calling a ukulele a 'banjo' in a post above. When I think 'ukulele', I think George Formby (UK, 1930s, 1940s). Sayaka does NOT remind me of George Formby . . . thank goodness !

Didn't George play a banjelele which is a mix of both?

Banjolele. So did George and Jeff (you know them). Go to around the 2" mark.
