| At first glance, Zayra Alvarez is so elegant you would think she walked straight off a fashion runaway in Paris. But when you really see and talk with the willowy brunette, you realize there's an edge to that elegance. An intriguing, eclectic edge that's marked her career ever since she was a teenager. Born in Puerto Rico, Zayra found her stunning voice in talent shows, school plays and various bands she joined as a teenager. At the behest of her parents, she went on to higher learning, placing her musical ambitions on hold while earning a college degree at The University of Puerto Rico in Mayaguez. Luckily and perhaps, fatefully, her passion was reawakened in, of all places, Dallas, Texas when she journeyed to the city on what was meant to be a fun trip with her best friend. But fun turned to inspiration and evolution. The lovely songstress was inspired by a diverse, exciting music scene, and this pushed her back to her first love--music, of course. Picking up a guitar, she began performing regularly at city clubs, wowing audiences with her stunning vocals, guitar strumming and songs in both English and Spanish. It didn't take long for her guitar playing, writing, and, of course, singing to receive serious attention. Landing a deal with Brando Records (home of Texas indie rock bands like The Nixons and Blue October), the powerful singer songwriter recorded her debut EP, "Breaking Up Grey Skies"--a gorgeously raw record performed all acoustic and full of heart. Her next move was to seriously embrace her Latin roots, resulting in the compelling album "Ruleta," a breakthrough for the performer that boasted not only her enthralling vocals and tuneful guitar playing but her impressive craft as a songwriter as well. Since that important release, Zayra's toured the West Coast and her native Puerto Rico. As Paul Nugent Brando proclaimed: "It doesn't matter what language she sings in, this girl has it all." We couldn't agree more. Or as Zayra might sing--we couldn't agree más. |

Narry a post for Our Curiosity Candidate thus far? --- tragique!
Wonderful moments last evening during the mansion-cast for Zayra's rehearsal of Tommy Tu-tone's ###-#### --- (unlisted number, from my personal experience...).
Cut to: House Band members finally and fully collapsing under the weekly weighty burden that is Z herself: heads fall into supporting hands as she comments, "I can't help it. I just hear it differently." QED. Go, Voices, Go!
Here's my problem: She's starting to fascinate me. She's rather matter-of fact in her mansion relations, and that, I'll bet, is rather a welcome trait in that house. She dealt swiftly and smoothly with the assignment of the week's songs --- and was very comfortable with Lukas' move to take the song selection poolside (unlike quite the inflexible Toby). And, she was very down-to-earth about her extended mansion stay at Phil's "expense"... "no problem, I'm sure Phil would have done the same".
ACH! Down to earth? Matter of fact? Our Alien Z?
Hello! get me wardrobe! I've got too much fabric here.
Yes, she's starting to fascinate me, alright, rather in the way I apprehensively seek out that off-smell in my fridge. And I can be pleasantly surprised when the bacterial growth turns out to be totally benign, and rather interesting to observe over the time until we must clean out that petri dish.

The rehearsal scene was pure gold. I want her to last simply to see which house band member will attempt to strangle her first. My order would be lead guitarist, bass, keyboards, then drums. The last two guys just seem more laid back. Plus they have all that stuff in front of them.
