Smule... what a VERY funny name.

It's been years since I last updated this thing! Ok, so maybe only a year and half but still...

I just felt that I needed to post this now before I totally forget to (as well as completely forgetting HOW to!) And then after this, I will seriously have to try and also share what's been going on with me over the past year and a half.

But enough about me... :)

I think it must have been about two years ago that Whitney ran across this app and shared it with me and I've been a little more than obsessed with it ever since! And though I've been able to skim the surface and sing a bit as well, that's not at all why I'm sharing this ;)

I'm sharing this because there is just so much amazing, undiscovered talent out there!!!

I have to admit that I have been a total sucker for reality talent shows over the years. I can still remember sitting in my living room in Brooklyn New York back in the 80's cheering on my favorites in "Star Search" and crying when they didn't win and then, "America's Got Talent", "So You Think You Can Dance", "Dancing With The Stars", "American Idol"... Ok, so we're not even gonna go there, except to admit that I probably ended up spending over 10K (after all was said, sung and done) following Clay Aiken around the country...

And that was all so great and so much fun! But if I'd only known...

That there is just SO much MORE talent out there that possibly no one will EVER know about.. and that is what I call a DING DANG shame!

So I'm just going to share this amazing find with you (along with just a couple of key bullet points...)

* Not everybody on this site is amazing, in fact there are probably A LOT more un-amazing voices on this app than otherwise... and so I sort feel bad for people who just stumble onto this app accidentally on their own...

* Although everyone is still having fun! *winks to Whitney* haha

* But if you do want to find the amazing ones you can always check out Whitney's Smule page and see who's she's following and singing with because she's already done ALL the work and she sings with some of the best, and in fact, IMHO, exceeds the best in many cases.

* And since it can STILL be pretty complicated and overwhelming I've tried to whittle things down even further. Unfortunately there is only a 100 song playlist limit per person.. so I am now two people. ;)

Playlist 1

Playlist 2

Feel free to choose a couple of songs to listen to, I promise you won't be disappointed! I would also love to hear your thoughts!

And then, if you DO have a comment you'd like to post it would be really great if you would post it in the song comments on the actual Smule app itself.

Thanks so very much! And please enjoy!
