American Idol Group 1 Outcome..

So the performances for Group 1 was over and the results are out. I am not surprised with the outcome but am not sad about it too. America has chosen the right contestants to advance to the next round. However, after watching yesterday's performances I have to give credits to Tatiana DelToro.. She really surprised me as I thought she was just a bag of drama but turned out to be a good singer after all.. However, there were also dissapointments from Stevie Wright. I had high expectations on her but her performance last night was a far cry from what she had done during hollywood week. Tatiana being the drama queen had a moment to be herself *As usual* when Danny Gokey was announced the contestant to advance to the next round while she was not. I don't think the road will end for her just like that. I have a strong feeling that the judges will insert her into the "wild card" week were she will be summoned back to perform again. Anyway congratulations to ALEXIS GRACE, MICHAEL SARVER and DANNY GOKEY. I can't to watch Group 2 next week where there will be a whole new lot of drama going on with Norman Gentle in the scene.

And yes to people out there.. Especially to Mei Jean and Jonathan.. I have pierced my ear..Boohoo!!! "BIG DEAL"!!!! *Swt*

And I am lovin' it !!! Hahahahahaha..

American Idol Mania

The madness of American Idol is back. It's the time of the year again where everyone will be glued to the idiot box to watch out for their favourite contestants. As always I am also a victim of this reality show and I have been watching this show since season 4. Eversince the show started, we have discovered very talented singers such as Kelly Clarkson, Ruben Studdard, Fantasia Barrino, Carrie Underwood, Taylor Hicks, Jordin Sparks and David Cook. In addition to that, not only the winners made it big even the cast offs have made it big in the music scene. To name a few such as Kellie Pickler, Justin Guarini, Jennifer Hudson, Katharine McPhee, Kristy Lee Cook, Clay Aiken and many more... After watching this show for 4 seasons now, I am quite surprised that I am still not tired of it. Maybe its because of the fact that most of the time I skip the Top 24 performances. O yeah, this year the have opted for something different there will no longer be top 24. Instead, the producers have increased the number to 36. I really hope this won't be long, draggy and boring.. Anyway, these are the few contestants of top 36 for this season whom made an impression on me both bad and good.. I hope those who are talented will make it to top 12 and rock the stage!!!.. Otherwise, be gone for good!! O yeah, do watch the first group in action tonight! :) Star World, Astro Channel 711

Von Smith also known for having a big voice.. Hmm.. Many people commented on his looks.. I think that will bring him forward to the next round,Unfortunately... :P


Taylor Vaifuana.. Ah ha, now I like this girl. At first,I thought she looked kinda weird but I grew to like her.. A contestant to look out for.. She reminds me of Jordin Sparks though...

Tatiana Del Toro.. Whoever watched Hollywood week will never forget her.. Well 3 words " I hate her" and 2 more " Drama Queen".. I think the judges desperately needed to increase the ratings for the show to include such a clown.. Singing Talent-wise.. Err.. Just Ok.

Stevie Wright... I liked her the second I saw her during the auditions. She looks like a nice person and of course great talent in singing.. Hmm.. I think she has a chance to make it to top 12...

Scott Macintyre.. He reminds me of Adrea Bocelli and I respect him for his determination. Despite having sight problems, he is able to play the piano and possesses a great voice. I think America will like him. It will be interesting to see him make it to top 12.. Hmm.. I am routing for you!!

Nick Mitchell.. After shufting down into my system that Tatiana girl.. here comes Nick Micthell.. Hmm.. he can sing.. but he needs to be more serious.. and you don't have to make it so obvious that you are gay. I respect you for who you are but I hope you will be more serious orelse you'll be in danger..

Nathaniel Marshall... I dunno what style you call this.. but despite having that kinda looks he can sing.. hahaha.. but he style is too gawdy to my liking..

Michael Sarver.. Okay.. I like people like him.. Simple and talented.. He doesn't look like a pop star but he is really talented.. Even all the judges liked him especially Paula.. He is the underdog of the show. I hope America will vote for talent more than looks alone.. and I have also learnt that we shouldn't judge a book by its cover..

Megan Cockrey.. Isn't she cute..?? Aaawww just look at her.. Haha. anyway this is another contestant to look out for.. With good looks and talent, you'll be surprised how well she will do in this show.. but it's too early to tell.. but she's cute!!!

Jesse Langseth.. I don't remember where was she from.. and how old is she again? Hmm.. she might just surprise us.. Everyone will say she looks old but I will not comment on her appearance.. She might just be the underdog of the show..

Jasmine Murray... If I am not wrong, she is doing this for her family.. To help improve their living environment.. I hope she will make it big though.. because she can sing as well.. Hmm...

Alexis Grace... I remember this girl for her pink hair.. She didn't make much of an impression until I watched her on the final day of Hollywood week.. and the reason why I like her is because she is a country artist.. I know I am being bias here.. but the truth is she has a great voice.. Watch out for this one too..

Alex Wagner... He looks nerdy and all but... Go nerds!!! Show the world that you'll are not only made of books and calculators!! Everyone is speculating about the judges' choice of choosing him over the other 'ghost movie guy'.. I think he has a better voice than the other guy and he reminds me of Clay Aiken..

Adam Lambert.. This guy really rocks!!! If I am not wrong he was the one who sang Disturbia.. I really liked his rendition of Disturbia.. This guy will definitely make it to Top 12.. Just watch him and you'll see how easily he advances from one stage to another..

ORANGE : Good Impression

GREEN : Neutral

RED: Bad Egg!!

Valentine's Day with her .. with them..

It was the time of the year again when love is in the air.. A day where love is commercialised and also a day when you spend happy moments with your loved ones. To me, it was a normal day but also a special day..How contradictive.. :S...It has been quite sometime since I saw her, both of us were busy with our own affairs in the month of January.. Then came February where she had her examinations. Nevertheless, we had the greatest time of our lives on that special day doing things both of us enjoy the most. Hmmm... We kicked off the day by having tea at the Chocolate Lounge,1 Utama where we had sweet treats and also exchanged valentines gifts with each other.. Then we proceeded to the arcade.. Initially, we wanted to watch a movie but thought it was too boring and stereotypic.. It's like what every couple will do on Valentine's Day.. So we got in touch with our childish side by paying a visit to the arcade.. Hahaha.. How much fun we had shooting monsters and banging the screen.. During that moment I was able to spend a lot of quality time with her.. Looking at her smile makes me smile too.. We were playing this game .. I forgot what it is called.. But basically you have to hit a flat plate into your opponent's goal.. and she hit it so hard that it flew off the table and hit the glass.. The expression on her face was something I wouldn't want to forget!! Then we took a couple of pictures .. Hahaha.. we were having a great laugh taking pictures of ourselves or it worse terms "Camwhoring!!" Hehehe.. Even the promoters whom were working there laughed at how she forced me to pose with the teddy bear.. It was quite embarrassing though, no doubt.. Haha.. For the finale, we had a double date with Lynn and Simon .. Lynn will be herself as usual but the combination was great where we had a great dinner and lots of laughter of course...

Grammy's 2009

So I was watching the grammy's award for this year yesterday night and it was a great show! It was claimed to be the most prestigious music award show and winning a grammy meant something... The 2009 Grammy Awards, fighting a downtrend in viewership over the past couple of years, is trying to drum up interest for next year's edition with a novel approach. For the announcement of the 2009 Grammy Award nominations / nominees tonight, they have done away with the usually drab early morning show. In fact, what they're doing is the exact opposite, with top nominees revealed by invading prime time television with a concert-like show complete with live performances from potential nominees. Carrie Underwood who is my favourite singer blew us away with her hit song "Last Name" and I have to admit she looked super sexxxyyyyy that night.. Another favourite, the duet between Estelle and Kanye West in "American Boy" and Katy Perry too performed that night.. The other performers were Stevie Wonder, The Jonas Brothers, Lil' Wayne and lots more..

So how these artistes are nominated for the grammy's???

The National Academy of Recording Arts and Sciences and record companies are
responsible for entering into nomination the works that they deem most
deserving. Once a work is entered, reviewing sessions are held by over 150
experts from the recording industry. This is done only to determine whether or
not a work is eligible or entered into the proper category for official
nomination. The nomination process requires that members vote only in their
fields of expertise. They may nominate in the four general categories (Record of
the Year, Album of the Year, Song of the Year and Best New Artist) and in no
more than nine out of 31 fields on their ballots. Once the nominations are
secured, Recording Academy members may then vote in the four general categories
and in no more than eight of the 31 fields. Ballots are tabulated secretly by
the major independent accounting firm Deloitte Touche Tohmatsu. As of 2006, the
eligibility period for the Grammy Awards begins October 1. [ Wikipedia, 2009 ]

Where is Viper and Razor?

Hahaha.. Viper and Razor are 3 months old now and how much they have grown eversince. Viper is bigger than Razor though.. Maybe Viper is a big eater compared to Razor. Few days back,I found out that Viper started to shed skin. I was worried that there is something wrong with it and I went to the aquarium shop to ask whether it is normal for it to shed off skin. Fortunately, the aquarium shop owner said it was normal and it is an indicator that she is growing. Viper is a very naughty tortoise, yesterday I was looking at the aquarium and was surprised to see only one tortoise in the tank and I panicked for a moment there. So I searched around the table to see whether she has climbed out. Later did I know that she dropped into the back filter of the aquarium. Thank god I found that little rascal .. Hahaha.. Razor on the hand is the "Mr cool guy".. he is slow but not too slow... he is quiet but not that quiet.. Haha.. but he is more approachable, he won't run away when you feed him.. These tortoises have been my companion when I am alone at home and since mum do not allow me to keep puppies, this is the best 4 legged pet I could think of.. You Rox tortoises!!! Hahaha.. will update on their growth progress again soon...

Razor being secretive at one corner.


The forever active Viper.

Hahaha.. kids playing in their playground..

Razor : I am climbing up to take a nap.. What about you, Viper?

Viper : Nah, I will just stay here and swim.. I like the attention given by our owner.. XD

Vick's Pick for January '09

Hi everyone, in this post I will be featuring another song for the month. This month I am featuring Taylor Swift 's Love Story. I like this song as the tune is catchy and the song brings a whole new breath to country music as it is not your typical country song where it makes you think of cowboys and deserts. This song is straightforward where it tells the story of Romeo and Juliet and how they have overcomed obstacles to be together. Like the silly things we do for love when we were young like how she penned in her song " We were both young when I first saw you".Vocal-wise, she managed to bring the song well although her vocals were not strong but not all singers with strong vocals can bring a song well. It also depends on what kind of song he/she is singing. Therefore, my comments for this song is simple; It's catchy, it's trendy and it's easy to listen. I was shocked to see how many times I replayed this song on my ipod.. 365 times and still counting.. For some weird reasons, I play this song everytime I workout at the gym which expains why it is 365 times.. Hahahaha.. I bet you'll like this song too if you listen to it. Country song is not bad at all.. Don't let the media influence you.. They never have much things to say about country singers .. Don't let them choose what you listen to, you choose what you want to listen ! Other great country singers ; Carrie Underwood, Kellie Pickler , Martina Bride and Rascal Flatts.
