My first Sony experience is with my Sony Walkman

Sony is one of the most reliable brands when it comes to gadgets. Exactly the reason why I always check and choose Sony products over other brands.

Way back at home, in our family, we always trusted Sony brand. And Almost all of our gadgets at home are Sony... be it our tv, betamax, radio, camera and even cellphones. I still even remember my mom saying "if it's not Sony then expect tomorrow it would be a junk." Oh boy, she's definitely a fan, lol.

I have seen and experienced a lot of Sony. It has always been my partner when it comes to gadgets, eversince. Through thick and thin, it did not fail me. It really last like forever.

Not the actual picture of my Sony Walkman...

I really do have a lot of experiences already with Sony gadgets, but my real first experience that I could surely say my own Sony gadget, is with my Sony Walkman. I bought it myself with my first salary as a part time DJ - Disc Jockey of a certain FM station in Zamboanga City. As far as I could remember it's more than just a thousand that time. And hey, more than a thousand is really not just something to me, since I consider myself more than just a thrifty person plus the fact that my first salary is really not that big at all, considering that I am just a part time DJ. But who the hell cares, I like it and I love it.

The feeling was ecstatic! Buying an expensive gadget is not soooo me. But then again, who the hell cares, afterall it's still worth my money... and even more than that. It has an FM/AM function and a recording function as well, plus a built-in speaker and a mic where I could record any sound or music that I like, anywhere and anytime.

Most of my friends knew that I am a real music lover, and how musically-inclined I am as a person. Music is a big part of me. I could even say that I couldn't really live in a world without music. Now, that's definitely one of the reasons why I bought Sony Walkman. With Sony walkman, my world turned into a real world that is really fun-filled with real pleasure. No day was considered boring. The sound's just so smooth and it's comfortable to my ears. And what made it really great was the fact that it was like a portable radio that I could carry whenever or wherever I go. Do take note that it's still the most convenient form of portable radio that time.

I still really love my first sony walkman even if I have my Sony Ericson Walkman Cellphone now which is more portable and convenient. I still use it with my cassette tapes especially that most of Regine Velasquez's (my lifetime favorite Filipino singer) album that I have are on cassette tapes.

My Sony walkman's experience is indeed a pleasure and a great experience too. It had been a great part of my student career before as a one of the university journalists, and of my DJ career as well. And so I am really thankful for that. It definitely gave significance in my life just like the World’s First 24.6 MP Full Frame DSLR: α900 DLSR Camera which will definitely capture my most memorable moments... Be it the happiest, the funniest or even the saddest.

My Featured Music Video: "WHENEVER YOU CALL" performed by MARIAH CAREY feat. BRIAN MCKNIGHT

[ video is taken from YouTube. ]

"WHENEVER YOU CALL" is one of my favorite Mariah Carey`s single. This song is actually written and produced by Mariah Carey herself together with Walter Afanasieff for her seventh album entitled "BUTTERFLY". Accordingly, this ballad talks about how love is a strong force, that giving up to it is inevitable. It was released as BUTTERFLY's sixth and final single in late 1998. Unfortunately, at the time of its release, SONY [Mariah Carey`s record label at that time] requested that the song be issued only as promotional single which only means that the song be issued or made available only for the use of professional disc jockeys and not for sale to public. But despite the lack of heavy promotions, "WHENEVER YOU CALL" still hit and reached the top charts.

In the music video above, Mariah Carey performed "WHENEVER YOU CALL" live with Brian McKnight who is also known for his gift in singing and songwriting, and for being the only black male R&B singer who have a spot on the Hip Hop, Pop, Country and R&B charts at the same time. Being a keen critic when it comes to music, I personally want to emphasize that this live music video is not lipsynced [not like what others used to assume and claim it to be] but a result of great performance by two of world`s great voices and performers. They`re just simply amazing, and that`s exactly the reason why some people couldn`t even believe that it`s performed live and that it`s really not lipsynced at all. In addition, I also wanted to clarify that this happens to be a live performance but then of course there could have been some studio modifications [example is the edited live reactions from the audiences like their claps or applauses in other posted videos of the same on YouTube] for it to sound so normal yet brilliant just like what a studio recording sounded like. But just incase the performance was lipsynced like what others used to believed in, then still, I have to salute Mariah Carey & Brian McKnight for they have performed it well for me not to notice it at all.

Anyway, the issue here is not that if it`s really lipsynced or not, or if it`s really performed live or not... but the music itself and the rendition or of how they`ve given the music its` life. Still it`s a great Duet and a great performance from two of the world`s great voices.
