Why ?

As you all know the song: "The Stigma song", the song and the video clip that give the best the promise and hope on aids HIV I was very sad to see that the UN decided to take the singer Angelique Kidjo that gave a song in the UNAIDS evening of remembrance and no one even thought about taking the stigma song that was written by HIV positive man and was made absolutely perfect that it was heard all over the world and people said that it is amazing song.

I ask why you cannot take something that is different – but excellent and I am absolutely shure that even anonymous writer with anonymous singer can do it better than a famous singer.

In the next time think on it that this song is more special that all other songs and I hpe next time you will remember the "Stigma Song"/

Think about it. Remember what you said about the song.

I agree Jony. Too bad we were not directly involved with the event. But indeed, the big organizations always go for fame. Let's see if we can't make a little bit of noise and have you included somewhere at the Toronto event :cool:

[yoqva]

thanks - i hope you will succeed

[yoqva]

it can be a nice birthday present in the comming days

[Giray]

Sorry Yoqva. I've been a little preoccupied with other things recently. My mom just passed away last night after a long fight.

[yoqva]

sorry to hear it

[yoqva]

This what i wrote today in the contact messeges to the toronto 2006

if you have any other people to send it - do it !!!

You are all part of this song - It is not important just to me - to all:

the letter:

Hello

My name is Jony Jerusalem, the owner of the site IsraelPositive (http://www.israelpositive.com) .
Last year I wrote the Stigma song that is an amazing song on the aids stigma. The song was written by me in Hebrew, translated to English and sang with an amazing singer Sigal Burstein.
The song was heard all over the world. I have permitted a lot of places to play it in aids ceremonies.
The song was downloaded from my site about 4.000 times and the video clip more than 2.000 times.
All the people from the world aids campaign were part of my promise and head it in the first days and said their words. You can ask Giary and more people there what they say on the song.
My suggestion to you is to invite me and Mrs. Burstein to your opening ceremony and let her sing the song in your opening ceremony or in the main ceremony.

All you need is to invite us (Flights and hotel and all the arrangements) and I am absolutely sure you will love the song and not just you – all of the people – it will make people cry like a lot of emails I have got from all over the world on people said that the people that heard it had tears in their eyes

Mr. Anan from UN had got the disk from me.

Think on it – we are ready to do it

You can see the clip and hear the song here :

Hope to hear from you

Well done Jony. :D

[yoqva]

But do any one will hear me ?

Till now no answer.

[Giray]

No idea, Jony. I'm not well-connected in Toronto. I won't even be going :(

[yoqva]

who is the biggest personal in the world that aids real impotant to him - i will send him the disk

[yoqva]

If my name was J.J. a famous singer and song writer with aids, HIV I believe that the Stigma song was played on every radio station, on every aids ceremony or congress or any other operation that discuss aids HIV BUT my name is Jony from Jerusalem, one more HIV personal that wrote an amazing song that was made with gr8 singer and this song this writer, this singer will stay ammoniums long time.

Do I have to bee poor man, very ill and going to die that this song will be heard all over the world?

Will some one will wake up sometimes?

[Giray]

Jony, do this. Make an mp3 and send it to 10 radio stations in different countries and see what feedback you get. I did that years ago with a friend's tune and I got a good bite. Try it.

[yoqva]

but i am just jony from jerusalem - i am not jony from un organiztion, i am just just jus jony - even if my song is amazing.....

[Giray]

That's the point. Nothing to do with size. If the song is good, you'll know because stations will air it. I would definitely try. Pick ten stations worldwide. Do a bit of surfing and you'll find them.

Jony, I know for a fact that promotion can be a challenge. But if you maximize the use of the media you've got handy - Internet, I think you have a fighting chance.
I try to use mass messages on messanger in order to get the ball rolling when it comes to information campaigns.
Now the idea is that coordination is the key for success in promotion efforts. So prepare an mp3 and promote your song o forums, web-sites, messanger (and maybe even organize some guerrilla event - hack into an online radio or smth...).
Best,
Octav

[yoqva]

easy to say - hard to do

[Giray]

I can vouch for Jony. Has he ever tried!!! Kudos for that. He has tried every trick in the book :(

[1octav]

Well... let's keep a positive attitude thought!
Maybe we can come up with another idea (that is not in the book).
Or one that is in the book, but in a different book. I used to know a girl that wanted to poze for Playboy... as a positive woman. She was hot. Maybe something like this could do the trick. Or maybe a bomb threat to a local radio-station. Maybe e-mails or letters asking for the song to be aired. Maybe word of mouth (starting a rumour about the song and the singer - that she is a Martian or something). Maybe...

[yoqva]

One day in UnAids site, One day in AidsMap site and all the world know about the song.
I wrote to both of them and many more even Mr. Anana got disk from our un ammbasador

AND NOTHING HAPPEND

And Even more - the disk was sent to Mtv and,,,,,,,,,Nothing
