Jake, this is what happened to your beloved Jordin Sparks. It was a great great performance in which we see more stage presence and some high though pitchy notes, some Beyonce-Sasha Fierce moments there, but that last framed totally made me gag.
machiam ghost can.
and i supported a Glambert, and i LIKEEEED IT.=)=)=)
Kris Allen. I AM A CONVERT. He totally "blew it out of the box" tonight with his rendition of Kanye West's vocoder-filled version. Kris totally made it sound like a rock track. With only the acoustic guitar alone, his voice stood out. I've always thought Kris has a very commercial voice, nothing more than that. And in a point when Adam's scream/tenderness and Danny's rasp has dominated thus far, the dark and the light, though there's nothing really dark about it, i've finally come to appreciate Kris vocals for what it is. He's the kind who needs the right material and arrangement to make him so good. and so far, he's hit the nail more than he fails, which is not alot of times in fact that he fails. and tonight i saw a very Jason Mraz vibe to his performance. talking about CURRENT! it adds on to the quite good Apologise he did, which also showed his range and current-ness.
while i wld love to see Adam kick danny's freakin ass and face in the finale, i wld LOVE to see Kris' arrangements to songs once more and surprise us.
so i loved the original, but i love this more. OMG.
i'm bring a black banner, "Adam! Singapore loves you!", with the spore in red and white. add some glitter to make it glambert.and then i am painting my nails black. for 2 days.
Happiness More or less It's just a change in me Something in my liberty Oh, my, my Happiness Coming and going I watch you look at me Watch my fever growing I know just where I am
But how many corners do I have to turn? How many times do I have to learn All the love I have is in my mind?
Well, I'm a lucky man With fire in my hands
Happiness Something in my own place I'm standing naked Smiling, I feel no disgrace With who I am

I hope you understand I hope you understand

I'm loving The Verve right now =) If you've watched Marley & Me, you might remember the scene when Owen Wilson released Marley and let him roam freely on the beach, and into the water. This song was played during that scene, and as strange as how a Verve track would fit in a commercial Hollywood movie, it turned out surprisingly well. I thought that was one of the best scenes of the movie, and the tune made it work.
"Happiness, coming and going" this whole trip has become a debacle of sorts. I've always believed that life is fair, and a turn in fortune might just be the calm before the storm. Still, that does not mean that life is at a standstill, but it has proven to me the very true saying of "you win some, you lose some." This is like a lesson in providence, a exercise in divine care. Great, can never be truely great. I've been thinking about this and that so much, that I'm falling behind in my revision. I really felt like giving up, because there's really no time, but I figured, tough times make tough men. Then there is the financial prospect when I return, because borrowing 1k from my naggy mother means that I will have a heavier burden when I return. Is it that hard to just want to spend a holiday with a friend?!
Yes it does sound like a bad paradox, but the past week has been revealing, and I hope it stays this way, or in the best way possible, when I'm there. When Susan told me that it's not so bad travelling alone, and it could be a trip of self-discovery, I did not cringe. The thought's been at the back of my head all these time, and her saying it out just made sense and made it obvious. As I've always said, she makes the most sense. =)
Right now, it's "Happiness, more or less". I should be looking forward.
If you like this, try The Drugs Don't Work. But I figured I just might post it here sooner or later.
it's a sad day for rock chicks everywhere, as dear Allison makes her Idol exit.
