’cause my body’s too bootylicious for ya babe”
————————————–
So I had the privilege to go see the brand new JKB Showcase, a brilliant idea thought of by two young men who study music together at the Pop & Jazz Konservatorio in Helsinki. I didn’t catch their names, mainly because I never asked. I know, some reporter I would be! Oh well, what I can tell you about, is one of my best friends Linda Ilves who played a big part of this JKB Showcase.
So what is the JKB Showcase, you ask? Well it is a brilliant show with drums, bass, guitars, trumpets, keyboards, cowbells and amazing singers, everything one could ask for. Glittery and sexy…yeah…those two words best describe it. Glamorous, glittery and sexy. The students have been working together for some time now to create this show, and all their hard work has certainly paid off. The participants are all very skilled at what they do, we (the audience) got to witness some aweinspiring solos on the drums, the keyboards, the bass, and not to forget, the singers. It is easy for me to say that as a participant of the audience I most surely felt amazed.
But to tell you more about the girl I know, Miss Ilves; she sang beautifully and had acted coreografer for the Showcase. Some of the participants weren’t as fluent in the dance moves as the others, but they made up for it with other areas of expertize. Among all the powerful and enticing songs were Destiny’s Child’s “Bootylicious”, which Miss Ilves performed with great power and convincing bootyshaking, together with the three other girls.
I was most certainly blown away by this performance, and very entertained. I wish the JKB Showcase the best of luck regarding the future and I am sure we will hear, and see, more of these talented students many times to come. Now please enjoy some images.
