16th May 2012 (Do you know where you're going to – Janice Vidal/Diana Ross)

Today’s song is “Do you know where you going to” and the version that I chose is by Janice Vidal. Many singers have sung this song. The original was sung by Thelma Houston in 1973. In 1976, Diana Ross sung this song as the theme song of the movie “Mahogany” and got this song popular. Janice’s version came out in around 2006.

Personally, I preferred Janice’s version, as I think the way that she sang the song somewhat matches the song. She sung it in a way that makes it sounds like a fantasy. In the first section, she sounds a bit naive, like a little girl wondering about her future. But in the second part, she sounds more like she is questioning herself about life, more in a review sense. Other singers tent to sing this song in a more powerful way, they tents to show their techniques well, but that doesn’t quite match with the song.

The lyrics are about life. It tells us in our life journey, we have lots of dreams. But in many of this slip pass us because we catch the chance when it comes by. Why it takes until now that we realised chances are not given for granted? I really think that this is a good song to make us think about our life, to think about what we want to get out of our life and what we wish to do with our life. If you are lost and not sure what to do, I hope by listening to this song you will get the answers. Hope you will enjoy the song.

Do you know where you're going to – Janice Vidal

Here is the version by Diana Ross, the song sound a bit different, as she sung it in a different way. This one sound more like we are reviewing our life, so it is somewhat a closer match to the lyrics.
