Was browsing through some Beatles articles when I thought of the Imagine mp3 I have in my mobile phone. It’s a version done by a fave rocker, Jordis Unga.
When I still had ample time to watch TV to end the day, (that would be more than a couple of years agoJ), one show that really got me hooked was CBS’s Rock Star: INXS. Viewed on Channel 2, (now TV5), the episodes were quite outdated but nevertheless I had fun each and everytime I get to watch
it. From the start, Jordis has been among my bets. Aside from her unusual look, her voice was that to match what I’ve always thought to be of exemplary quality.
Born Jordis Losana Sikahema Unga of Ameriacn and Tongan descent, she got her shot at world-wide fame through Rock Star: INXS where she eventually finished 5th place.
Before having to perform on TV, Jordis with her band The Fighting Tongs was part of the “Riverfest” concert tour. After the
disband last 2005, still with some of the band’s members, the Liars Club was borne.
Though digital tracks of Jordis Unga’s versions to various songs are already out, via iTunes and other digital outlets, her debut CD is yet to come.
The song by Hoobastank, The Reason, was not at all that attractive to me, specially when it got really popular and I would be hearing it everywhere.. I just didn’t like it. But after the rendition made by Jordis Unga, I’ve come to like it.
Here are several tracks by Jordis Unga:
