My PC and Tablet

Two years ago, I bought my PC; Toshiba’s Dynabook. There are not so many goods in my room, so I use my PC every day to get much information. Few month ago, I bought tablet named Nexus 10.

He likes to sing songs, so he cover many famous songs and uploaded on YOUTUBE many times, then one day, he upload his covered song on YOUTUBE, the song wad NE-YO’s Monster. One day the producer listened Coner Maynrd’s song and said to NE-YO “There are good singer better than you.” Then NE-YO became interested in Coner Maynard, then he contacted to him. Few days later, Conor Maynard made a song Turn Around with NE-YO and the song was so sold. Then Coner Maynard tried to make more many sings and released the first album CONTRAST. The CD was very nice. All of these sings were love song, but they direct for not children but adults. This is why I thought this song is for adult, but there are clear words in the lyrics. He will be a great singer.

However, these days, he released a new song R U Crazy. The song was really worst. Lyric was good, but the music was not good. the first I heard the song, I felt irritated. I hope he will be more great singer.
