Very Funny Video: John Lennon (and Bob Dylan) Audition On "The Voice"

Hi!

Unless you NEVER watch TV...you've probably heard of the talent competition on NBC called "The Voice".

Just in case you haven't:  Singers compete on the show to get the panel of all-star, celebrity judges (Adam Levine, Blake Shelton, Usher and Shakira) to choose them for their "team" and a chance to stay on the show.

The "twist" is that it is a "blind" competition...and initially the judges cannot see who's singing unless they "choose" them first.

Generally the level of talent is AMAZING and you see and hear some very PHENOMENAL singers.

-----------------

I just found a hilarious video mash-up with an old clip of John Lennon singing "Imagine"...inter-cut with scenes from the show.

The video is very well done and looks like Lennon really is auditioning for the competition.

It really drives home what a different environment entertainers find themselves in today compared to the 1970's.

At the end of this video there is a humorous reference to Bob Dylan too.

Enjoy!

AWESOME Video: "Free Diver" Speargun Hunting At 65 Feet Below Sea Level

Screen Capture From The Video:  Used As A Reference By Artist Matt Levert For His Digital Painting

Hello!

I came across a very cool digital painting on Matt Levert's Concept Art Forum Sketchbook Page.

He mentioned using a video as a reference....and I checked it out.

I'm very glad I did because the video is pretty amazing...and I decided to share it here!

As part of their Human Planet series BBC One filmed Bajau fisherman, Sulbin, free-diving over 65 feet (20 meters) below sea level to catch a fish.

During the dive he holds his breath for two and a half minutes but says he can go as many as five...and to deeper depths as well!

It's amazing to watch him stride across the sea-bed...stalking his prey with a speargun.

Screen Captures From The Video

Near the end of the video he is successful in his hunt and heads back to the surface.

If you're like me, you'll find yourself feeling short of breath as you imagine what it must be like to be at that depth without an oxygen tank.

------------------------------------

As a side note:  You may also get a chuckle when the commentator adds, "Perhaps the idea of humans existing as marine mammals is not so far fetched after all."  Absurdly drawing some kind of parallel between man's ability to swim and hold his breath to humans existing as marine mammals.  : )

Otherwise...the video is mesmerizing...hope you're as enthralled as I was!
