YOOOOOOOW…..

just watched 10.000 BC yesterday (^_^), with Manasa san and 3 other Indian.

It’s a movie with a touching and inspiring content.
The mainstream of the story actually is simple, the man who is a hunter from mountain tribe is chasing and trying to rescue his kidnapped lover

The story evolves with prehistoric animal, predators, etc. Then that man meet with another group, tribe, race or whatever they’re called whom their family are also kidnapped by the same group of warlord. As the story goes, they are all together fight against that group to free their family. The final boss is the one that they called GOD, who make all of that kidnapped people his slave to make a huge pyramid and sphinx, etc.

What inspire me from this movie even if we don’t understand each other language, come from many differences such as race, tribe, skin color, etc. We can always unite, understand and work with each other.

And one more lesson learned, never give up on hope, and keep chasing for your love (^_^), even the star will show you the way….
** ha ha (^_^) **

It’s worth watching (^_^)

YOOOOOOOW….

As the title said, I really feel that American Idol (Season 7) is an AWESOME show, when I was watching it since this last couple months, this show draw me many kinds of feeling: happy, sad, weird, also made me doing many things while watching it: applauding, screaming, laughing, etc.

I really enjoy watching this show, hearing the contestant sing the song that they choose and get comments from the judges. I also like to see the story of personal life of the contestant. That’s another part of the show which made it more interesting, I think.

What makes it more interesting is that they have to show their originality, personality and whatever it is that the judges usually said to the song that they will perform. So based on their interpretation, sometimes the song that they sang turn out to be.. WOW!!

Not only just watching or listening to the show, sometimes I was drowned into it, applauding if the performance was good, moving my body (dancing) or even that show can brought tears to my eyes if it was really touching and moving.
Here are some performances which are “memorable” for me :

David Archuleta – Imagine
This performance was ABSOLUTELY GREAT!!! it brought tears to my eyes. And guess what, the next day I purchased this song in iTunes! ** The first song that I buy through iTunes, yay! (^_^) **
Carly Smithson – Blackbird
I dunno why I like this version of blackbird from the Beatles, especially with her strong voice. I watched it over and over
Syesha Mercado – Yesterday
Another performance that was really touching. Tears came again. And the studio version of this performance is even better
Michael John – We Will Rock You – We are the Champion
ROCKS!!! and the lightning + angle from camera was just PERFECT!, it seemed like he was a real star that time. I even shouting “SUGOOOOOOOOOI” that time after he was finishing the song (^_^).
David Archuleta – Smoky Mountain Memories
The BEST that he have sung this far, I think, and this became my song of the day (for one week to be exact (^_^) )
David Cook – Music of The Night
I remember this song by heart (^_^), and he sang with his style, he didn’t really rearrange it, but still it impressed me (^_^)

After watching and observing all the contestant since the very beginning of the audition, of course I have my own fave (^_^), there are :

Carly Smithson
She has really nice TATTOO he he (^_^), I love her strong voice. And somehow she reminds me of my cousin.
I saw that after she performed the song, she always payed attention and listened to the judges seriously and the next week she showed the progress, better than before. love it.
David Cook
The tone of his voice is NICE, he can interpret almost all kind of song and made it his own. I like all the song that he performed.
I also like the style of his performance, usually he will take the microphone, hold the mic stand with the other hand and pull it around the stage (^_^)
David Archuleta
REEEAAAAALLLLY nice voice. A little bit different with Carly that choose the song which was hard to sing to show her vocal technique etc., David usually choose the song with has “meaning” or “message”, and then try to modify that song to show his voice.

I was predicting them to be the TOP 3 of the show. But from the last elimination show, I was shocked that my fave Carly was voted down and leave the show (>_<). Even so, this is not the end for her and I'm sure she will launch an album, and I’ll make sure I’ll buy one (^_^)
Now there are only two Davids left as my fave. Maybe they will fight each other at FINALE (^_^).

Despite that there are many issues about this show, that some part of the show was manipulated to give more “story”, get the rating, etc. Or even some controversial of the show such as Carly has been worked with Randy Jackson before, David Hernandez is a gay, etc. I still love the show. Plus the 2 hours Idol Gives Back which was really moving and touching for me.

And also, knowing that there is a website called votefortheworst, I LOVE IT (^_^). I dunno why, but after exploring that site, I’m smiling and sometimes laughing, it gives another point of view of the show he he.. (^_^)
First I dunno what’s this site is about, but after reading the “About Us”, and browsing some content, I bookmarked that site (^_^).
The world is fair, even the worst deserve to be voted right? (^_^)

And Finally, about the judges, here are several things from my observation (^_^):
– Almost in all performances Randy always said about “Pitch”
– Randy used to said “Hey man“, “Look at this man”
– Paula ALWAYS try to comfort the contestant
– Paula’s favorite words, “you… are….“, “such an amazing talent”

Special observation for Simon Cowell (^_^):
– Almost in ALL episode, Simon “touch” Paula’s chair.
– The color of Simon’s clothes “in the show” are ONLY White, Gray, Black. And MAYBE his fave color is GRAY, coz 51% of his clothes’ color on the show is GRAY. Only once in episode 10 (Hollywood Week result) I though he was wearing different color, dark purple?
– Until now in Season 7, the style of Simon’s clothes is 91% T-Shirt (whether V-Neck or Crew Neck), 2 times wearing shirt in SAME COLOR, white (in episode 20 and 25), once wearing suit (in Idol Gives Back).
– He usually blink his eyes whenever he got a compliment, or in the beginning of the show when Ryan Seacrest introduce him (^_^)

Overall, I LOOOVEE American Idol very much (^_^).
So much, that I remember by heart the number to call if you want to vote, it’s :
1 866 43657xx or text “VOTE” to 57xx, with xx is the number for each contestant, ha ha… (^_^).

Now… let’s see who’s gonna be the next american idol….
