Get Up and Do Something!

I love watching certain Reality TV Shows, just like American Idol and recently, last year I started watching So You Think You Can Dance.
I love watching people dance, both contemporary, ballroom, hip-hop, tap, well basically almost all kinds. It’s amazing how the body portrays arts and its aesthetics, even in the smallest, subtlest way.

So, after one season of American Idol is over, I started watching SYTYCD, the 6th season. I am aware that sometimes the producer loves to play with the audiences’ emotions by showing sad, tragic stories, and gain sympathy from us. Well, even knowing that, I still cry A LOT while watching the shows. Not to mention the fact that I’m watching alone in my room, more freedom to cry. LOL.

This season, we have a true inspiration from a girl my age named Tiffany.

She was born with severe spinal problems which have stunted her growth and coordination, only has three vertebrae in her spine instead of the normal seven. The doctors thought she would die as a baby, but she survived till now, 23 years of age.

The executive producer, Nigel, said that her bravery is stunning and think that people at home who sit on their butts and think they can’t do something should be inspired by her.

Sunshine at Ain’t No Sunshine

It was one of my favourite pop songs, especially after watching Notting Hill for oh-so-many-times.
And to see Kris Allen perform it, not once, but twice!
Love it! May the meek and humble win and stay meek and humble :D

Falling Slowly

Words and Sung by Glen Hansard and Markéta Irglová

I don’t know you
But I want you
All the more for that
Words fall through me
And always fool me
And I can’t react
And games that never amount
To more than they’re meant
Will play themselves out

Take this sinking boat and point it home
We’ve still got time
Raise your hopeful voice you have a choice
You’ll make it now

Falling slowly, eyes that know me
And I can’t go back
Moods that take me and erase me
And I’m painted black
You have suffered enough
And warred with yourself
It’s time that you won

Take this sinking boat and point it home
We’ve still got time
Raise your hopeful voice you had a choice
You’ve made it now
Falling slowly sing your melody
I’ll sing along

Kris Allen sang this song during this week’s American Idol season 8. I really loved it. I really do.

Ain’t No Sunshine

Kris Allen from American Idol Season 8 singing Ain’t No Sunshine. I absolutely love his version. His voice is so my type, and not to mention, his… looks… which is definitely a plus. Haha.


Ain’t no sunshine when she’s gone.
It’s not warm when she’s away.
Ain’t no sunshine when she’s gone
and she’s always gone too long
anytime she goes away.

Wonder this time where she’s gone,
wonder if she’s gone to stay
Ain’t no sunshine when she’s gone
and this house just ain’t no home
anytime she goes away.

So Small

As performed by Matt Giraud on American Idol Season 8 Top 11:

What you got if you ain’t got love
The kind that you just want to give away
It’s okay to open up
Go ahead and let the light shine through
I know it’s hard on a rainy day
You wanna shut the world out and just be left alone
But don’t run out on your faith

Cause sometimes that mountain you’ve been climbing
Is just a grain of sand
And what you’ve been out there searching for forever
Is in your hands
And when you figure out love is all that matters after all
It sure makes everything else seem
So small

It’s so easy to get lost inside
A problem that seems so big at the time
It’s like a river that’s so wide it swallows you whole
While you’re sitting around thinking about what you can’t change

And worrying about all the wrong things
Time’s flying by, moving so fast
You better make it count cause you can’t get it back

David VS David Final

NO NO NO NO NO!!!!!

It’s funny how they kept repeating Brooke’s mistakes, how she restarted the songs and everything and did anyone remember that David Archuleta forgot his lyrics last week? NO! Because the producers want him to be in the final 2, and how can someone goes to final two not remembering his lyrics AGAIN? so the slick producers happily cuts the camera away from him during the moment he forgot his lyrics, and somehow the sound go softer.. LALALA… Can’t the producers be less blunt? hohoho…

say no to davids!

I’m just so bored with the two Davids already and I kinda think the whole show is so crap right now.. maybe because Carly is not there anymore and Syesha kept getting in the bottom 2/3. You know what.. I don’t even listen back to any of Archuleta’s songs at all! I do listen to Cook’s Always Be My Baby and I hated him singing Innocent, Eleanor Rigby etc etc … sigh… I somehow like almost all the songs that Carly and Syesha has sung on that show… maybe it’s just to my appetite lar.. whatever that is.. I shouldn’t be writing about this during this period…. This is called stress-post.

Oh I am so infuriated with my exams and suddenly I got infuriated with American Idol too? LOL…  chill girl chill… :)

Ken Lee is OUT!

I mean American Idol Season 7’s Ken Lee is voted off the show.

So sad for her… just got praised by Simon yesterday.

Maybe it’s the song choice: Jesus Christ Superstar?

Don’t play-play ….

When you believe..

I know these few days some ppl’s been having this song on their nicknames :P Apparently, David Archuleta did this song on Idol this morning (last night in US) and …. eventhough I have been rather bored of David A. His performance today… is still boring to me.. :P It’s as if I can already guess what are the variations he’s gonna make, and how he’s gonna sing it. I think it sounded the same week after week…

Okay, for curious readers. Here is the video:

Carly’s Ken Lee

Hi everyone. I know American Idol is only showing at 10 pm tonight but for those who are curious about how Carly ken lees (suddenly become a new word), here is the video:

I personally like Carly Smithson. In fact, I think I like all the 3 girls except for Kristy Lee Cook (she is only good with country songs and I can’t like country songs at all). If you think the tattoo on her hand is ngeri, look at her husband’s :P

So is Carly better than Valentina? :P
