"I can't be any more than what I am
Any more than what I can become
For how we love is all there is to life
To sustain each other in goodness and in strife."
-- Allison Westmont

r a n d o m t h o u g h t s

"I really do believe that poetry is the highest form of writing. Read Yeats's "The Wild Swans at Coole," Whitman's "When Lilacs Last in the Dooryard Bloom'd," Thomas's "Fern Hill," and you'll experience the true power of art. They touch the heart and the head in ways that movie-makers (our current artistic high priests) can only dream of." - Bruce Wexler, Writer (Newsweek)

THIS SITE is dedicated to the lovely and super talented KADY MALLOY. Click the link or the banner above to be directed to Kady Malloy's Official MySpace Music Page.

ABOUT ME: I am a music enthusiast and more. I am also a huge fan of Kady Malloy's, the one I'm dedicating this site to. I operate this page as a hobby. Most of my hobbies revolve around creativity - from writing and photography to computers, but my professional education and training are in the medical sciences. The hobby of photography relates to my appreciation for beauty and art. And because I'm naturally nerdy, I am drawn to computers.

My childhood was not exactly all fun and games. It was mostly studies and discipline. I have always been writing poetry since age 10. Growing up in a conservative home and attending boarding schools, writing poetry for me was the neatest thing to do besides singing, school work, or learning music and playing instruments.

My passion for writing is totally inspired by my obsession with music. For the purpose of this site, I'm only applying the musical side of me. Hence, the name Music Enthusiast. It is through music that everything makes sense to me - with experiences such as "crushing your heart" and "driving you to tears". Music knows no bounds, no race, no gender. But my heart is slave to beautiful voice. I'll live on it and for it, and could get drowned in it. I think it's the most beautiful thing next to water.

My love for country music started in 1971 when I first heard "Help Me Make It Through The Night" by Kris Kristofferson. It was the first song that I fell in love with. I was only 11 years old. And as I grew older, my musical taste would include different genres. I dig rock ballads and I love falsetto rockers. I love the sisters duo-band Heart, and their songs "Alone" and "What About Love" like they are my personal themes. I love broadway musicals, and I've seen quite a few, but my all time favorite is definitely Les Miserables. I have gone to the show four times and I cried every single time. In my book, this is the best musical ever written and played. My favorite disco songs are mostly Donna Summer's but topping them all for me is definitely Mac Arthur Park. The best love story movie and love story soundtrack for me is "Somewhere In Time", a hit in 1980, with Jane Seymour and Christopher Reeve.

MY TOP FAVORITE song by any artist is "Weekend In New England", written by Randy Edelman and released in 1976 as a single by Barry Manilow, reaching #1 on the U.S. adult contemporary chart. It is a big ballad with a romantic theme that so poignantly underscores the longing pain of wanting to relive love once again like no other song can, and the music is as beautiful. Coming next not far behind is a mournful ballad about unrequited love-- "Sorry Seems To Be The Hardest Word", written by Bernie Taupin and released by Elton John as a single in the same year (1976). I have to say the 70's had some of the finest songs ever written and sung and I'm lucky to have lived the era. However, I would not leave the topic of favorite male artists-instrumentalists without mentioning Glen Campbell and Eric Clapton. With Kris Kristofferson, they are my favorite singer-guitarists of all time.

Since the late 80's, I've switched from the male to female singer worship with the arrival of Whitney Houston. Then I got into watching 'American Idol' because of Kelly Clarkson- she is awesome. Her song "Anytime" is one of my favorite songs of all time because it is such a passionate song, almost too sensual, worded in the most eloquent fashion offering a promise without condition, and Kelly's delivery moves me without question. Love usually can't wait, but to me, neither should its yearning ever end.

However, I find Kady Malloy's natural gift and singing talent really remarkable. Her cover of "My Immortal" (Evanescence) is truly convincing and surprisingly more moving than the original (not that the original moved me). Within its inherent power, Kady's voice has the most tender tone, sophisticated quality and dramatic charm about it, and her delivery just heavenly with such amazing range and impressive control. I'm totally taken by how pleasing and clean pure it came through, leaving me haunted by such beautiful sound. I felt her soul and understood her cry. "My Immortal" by Kady Malloy, that is, might just well replace 'Weekend in New England' as my top favorite. The song itself, in this version, commands a calming effect, therapeutic at best, against the evoking angst and catharsis of being "haunted". (Read Blog)

On Kady's covers of "Angel" (Sarah McLachlan) and "Foolish Games" (Jewel): Not only did she own me in "My Immortal", but she broke my heart in "Angel" and defeated me in "Foolish Games". I have absolutely pure awe for her voice; I could cry, and I just did. Kady has done these three songs more than justice. Her versions are more distinct and profound with much higher degree of brilliance and sophistication. She has exceeded my expectation, and she has done it so fabulously with the highest sense of mastery.

In Kady's vocal strengths, I find a potentially surprising romantic element that gets only appreciated more as she stretches from its deeper timbre to its almost operatic height without the need for mellismas or other histrionics. For a young talent amidst the current trends, this is her preferred style and I applaud her choice. It is possible that Kady, as a rising star, may need a little help in other areas, but definitely, singing is her forte, and truthfully, that is what counts.

Well now, I have to mention some notable female singers that influenced my own type of singing. They are Rita Coolidge, Melissa Manchester, Marilyn McCoo, Karen Carpenter, Heart, Linda Ronstadt and Eydie Gorme. And I can say I have equal high respect for Barbra Streisand, Celine Dion and Aretha Franklin. I truly admire Mariah Carey and Christina Aguilera. I love Trisha Yearwood, Faith Hill, Whitney Houston and Kelly Clarkson. But, unequivocally, I just adore Kady Malloy!!

Besides earning a living, and laughing, loving, and learning, I love to watch classic movies, read anything, write about something good, go out for dinner and see a new movie, or take leisure trips to the country. I'd like to think that I'm more outgoing and humorous so I'd like to retire (early) in a place where there's plenty of sunshine and people, and near the ocean; lots of places to go and things to do.

My favorite author's quote is "Youth is a state of mind" by Henry Wadsworth Longfellow. I plan to stay young forever bypassing the years I've lived, if that makes sense. However, there is also a saying that "Wisdom comes with age". So, I hardly can wait. Paradoxes can be life savers, after all. To all my friends on MySpace, I know your time is valuable and I also realize our similarities and differences. However, only in music can we be mostly sociable about if not mostly agreed on. So, I sincerely appreciate your time and support. Peace! -- Allison (Mattsie)
