[A] [Dm] Before the break, Jethro Champion showed us that a cool rock star name does not a rock star make.
[F] [Dm]
[C] But then again, which of these commoner garden [F] names inspires musical greatness?
Hi, my name is Robin Peters.
[Gm] Tammy Ace.
Nili.
[D] I'm Clint August.
[A#] My name is Darryl.
[D] My name is Josh Adams.
[F] Jacques Steyn.
My [Dm] name is Yandallaray [F] Vahnet.
Rocky Laxton.
Gwana [A#] Jacobs.
Lillian Kumalo.
Leonard O'Connor.
Alastair Williams.
My name is [D] Barry Whaley.
So, what's in a name?
Well, for one contestant, the story behind his name would leave an [G] impact on everyone.
[Gm] My name is Elvis [C] Blue.
I'm from George in the Western Cape and I'm a music [Am] teacher.
I teach kids how to play guitar.
We've [A] got a lot of kids who come every week [G] to our [Bm] studio where we teach them.
We also give [Am] guitars away.
If people donate guitars, we teach kids how to [A] play in the informal settlements.
[Em] [C] I got the name Elvis Blue from a friend of mine.
His name was Elvis Blue.
He passed away about a year ago.
He was 12 years old [G] and he had HIV AIDS.
[B] And he always told me that his big dream [G] was to be a musician one day.
And I always told [C] him he had the coolest name on earth if he wanted to be a musician.
[D] [G]
[F] [C]
Hi, [G#] Elvis Blue.
Elvis Blue.
Geez, man, that's not your real name, is it?
No, [A] it's not my real name.
How did you get that name?
I got that name from a friend of mine.
[G] He passed away about a year ago.
He was 11 years old.
He had HIV AIDS complications.
And he always used to tell me that he really wanted to be a musician.
That's his big dream.
I always used to tell him he had the coolest name on earth to be a musician.
So my real name, I'm not shy about my real name or anything.
It's just not really conducive to the English pop industry.
It's Jan Wuchendijk.
There's too many bad Afrikaans songs with the name Jan.
And Jan, Jan, Jan, die bille van die bosveld.
Jan is a blue dog, squeeze me.
You know.
[C#] So when I had to choose a name, I immediately thought of Elvis.
Elvis had big dreams.
I'm sure there's lots of people out there with big dreams.
I'm one of them.
What are you going to sing?
I'm going to be singing a Bob Dylan song called To Make You Feel My Love.
Great.
Go for it.
Sounds good.
[F#] When the rain's blowing in your face
[C#] [B] and the whole world is on your case,
[Bm] I could offer
you [F#] a warm embrace.
[G#] To make [C#] you feel [F#] my love.
[B] The storms are raging [F#] on the rolling sea
[A#m] and [B] down the highway [F#] of regret.
[B] The winds of change are blowing [F#] wild and free.
[G#] But babe, you ain't seen nothing like [C#] it.
[F#] I'd go hungry, I'd go black and blue.
Oh, I'd go walking down [G#m] the [B] avenue.
[Bm] There ain't nothing that [F#] I would not do.
[G#] To [C#] make you feel [F#] my love.
[B] Very beautiful.
Thank you very much.
[G#]
The water works, [B] yeah.
You love music.
Hmm?
What do you think, Garrett?
I hope the water's a good [N] thing, man.
The water's good.
The water's a-flowing.
What do you say, Mara?
Sure.
Randall, what do you say?
Elvis Blue, I think that you [G#m] should take this competition a lot more seriously.
I think that you're still on that verge in your head of, you know, should you do this,
shouldn't you do this, but you're pretty good.
And you've really got to, I think you've got to focus a lot more attention [B] should you go
through to the next round.
[G#] I think that might be the best thing you could say.
You know, it takes a very small number of people that bring tears to my eyes when they sing.
That's why.
[G] And some people just sing for the sake of singing and it does nothing for me.
And I don't know what it is about you, the way you sang that song, you sang it from your
heart, from your soul, from everything.
And that's what singing is all about in my book.
Thank you.
Thank you very much.
That was brilliant.
Randall?
Yes.
Yes.
Mama?
Yes.
You're in.
[C#] Grab that golden ticket and we will see you in Sun City.
Thank you very much.
Thank you, Brian.
Well done.
Well done.
