Vitas - Vitas is a Russian pop singer, best known as his high voice, it is amazing! He has in own style and his voice makes him unique. Not only his voice, his face is gorgeous too. Vitas is talented in many ways. I imagine he's had to battle many difficulties to become the pop star he is today.

Here is the translation of the lyrics: My house is finished but I am alone there. Door clapped behind me. Autumn wind's knocking at the window, weeping again for me. This is destiny, and I can't beg destiny nothing. All I know that the winds will wail over me. Thunder at night and mists in the morning. The sun has all gone cold. Sufferings from long ago are passing one by one. Let them combine together. That is fate, and I cannot ask fate any questions. Only I know how winds will be howling after me.

Tata Young was born in Thailand in 1980, the only daughter of an American father and a Thai mother. Tata Young as Thailand’s very own pop sensation, Tata’s debut English album with Columbia Records “I Believe” hit 9x platinum in her home country; achieved the amazing feat of selling over 300,000 units in Japan as a new artist; and struck Gold in many Asian countries. “I Believe” went on to sell nearly 1 million units across the Asian region. During the same year, Tata also sang the theme song to the Bollywood blockbuster film, Dhoom, whose OST album sold over 800,000 units in India, a phenomenal success for a soundtrack. At 27, this 12-year music veteran has already sold more than 12 million albums and continues to be a symbol of energy and change for the Asian music industry. I love her angelic voice!

Below is the same song with English subtitles. Pay attention what he said to her at the end! It’s such a sad story - in any language - and the part that is so true - in any culture, is when she says, “Because I am a girl, to whom love is everything.” I guess women are the same the world over - we love to be in love.
