Chantal Kreviazuk - Leaving On A Jet Plane

Just found these videos today on YouTube of my favorite singer and songwriter, Chantal Kreviazuk, performing in Whistler, Canada for the unveiling of the 2010 Paralympic Logo. I think the performance was funny and really shows how laid back Chantal is. For those of you who don't know, her song Feels Like Home was my wedding song and I played it about 15 times. I also got the chance to see her perform live last year and meet with her briefly. The concert rocked and she was really nice! She's an amazing musician. It's too bad she's not more well known in the U.S. Oh, and she's also a mom of 3 boys. Her husband is Raine Maida, the lead singer of the band Our Lady Peace. Be sure to watch both part 1 and 2 of the videos.

Lebo's River

This video and song really touched me. I stumbled upon the song when I was downloading some songs by one of my favorite music artist, Chantal Kreviazuk. The song was written by Lebo herself, Chantal and Raine Maida (Chantal's husband and member of the band, Our Lady Peace.) The song is about Lebo. She was a girl in South Africa who was raped, given HIV/AIDS and then gave birth to a daughter. Her dream was to be a singer. In a documentary, she was recorded singing part of the song that she wrote.

Who is Lebo?
