Palavras

Já há muito tempo que não escrevo. A verdade é que ainda estou com a sensação de quem percorreu, em passo rápido, um corredor interminável. Que, no fim deste, acabou por encontrar uma única porta, e que quando rodou a maçaneta, encontrou-la fechada. Foi assim que me deixaste. Prometestes-me que, quando eu abrisse aquela porta, iria experimentar o que nunca, outrora, tivera experimentado. Como é que esperavas que eu abrísse uma porta trancada?
Quando me encontraste pela primeira vez, disseste estar acorrentado a mim, fisicamente, que burrice a minha pensar que tal corrente fosse mais segura do que este corredor em que me vejo aprisionado. Os sentimentos são mais resistentes do que qualquer metal, um verdadeiro recinto cerrado por paredes, sem fuga possível. O metal oxida. Rapidamente te vais ver livre dessa corrente. O corredor... esse mantém-se intacto... por muito tempo... O tempo suficiente para, um dia, aluir sobre a minha cabeça.
Como já te disse, só gostava de entrar na tua mente, entender as tuas razões.

Whitney Houston-New Song- I Look To You- 2008

-I Look To You-Whitney Houston by R. Kelly

Lyrics:

As I lay me down
Heaven hear me now
I'm lost without a call
After giving it my all

Winter storms has come
and darken my sun
After all that we've been through
Who on earth can I turn to

I look to you
I look to you

After all my strength is gone
In you I can move on

I look to you
I look to you

And when melodies are gone
In you I hear a song

I look to you

Toya Alexis

Toya Alexis is a Canadian R&B vocalist from the Greater Toronto Area. She won a "Rising Star" contest and sang at the Apollo theatre. She first came into the Canadian consciousness as a contestant on the first season of Popstars, a popular show that played on Global, and also had an American version on the WB. She did not win, but was featured on the debut album of the winners, who were dubbed Sugar Jones.

She next was seen as a contestant on the first season of Canadian Idol in 2003, reaching sixth place in a controversial decision as she was widely considered the best singer of the six. While on the show, she could be seen on several occasions executing notes in the whistle register reminiscent of those of Mariah Carey. Paralleling the controversy on American Idol, the week Toya was voted off, she and the only other African-Canadian were included in the bottom three, which sparked talk of racially charged voting{{fact}. She was subsequently offered a recording contract, and released her first single, the Top 40 hit "Am I Loving?", in 2004. She also appeared as a guest vocalist on recordings by several other Canadian artists. Her full-length debut album, S.O.B. Story, was released in August on Canadian Idol judge Farley Flex's label, Plasma. To date, S.O.B. Story has sold 159,000 copies, making Canadian platinum. She began touring with Esthero, a popular Canadian trip-hop artist, and was showcased with Esthero on the Jimmy Kimmel Live show in the United States. In 2005, she was a featured cast member as "Mabel" in the Canstage show Crowns, at the Bluma Appel Theatre in Toronto.

Her other stage credits have included Doo Wop to Motown (Theatre on the Grand), Once on This Island (Stirling Festival Theatre), Rainbow World (Bathurst Street Theatre), The Good Times Are Killing Me (Royal Alex Theatre) and Dreamgirls (Co-production between Theatre Aquarius and the Manitoba Theatre Centre).
