Goodbye, TimI can't believe I'm saying this, but I'm gonna miss Tim Russert.I started watching him on Meet The Press when I moved to Saudi. With little to do in the mornings and with the availability of american news feeds on one of the TV channels, I watched Tim tackle one politician (and sometimes non-politician) after another. He was fun to watch. Very straight forward, to the point. He explained a lot of things to me. I may not agree with him all the time, but I appreciate his perspective. The american presidential election is going to be less fun without him. May his soul rest in peace, wherever he's going. this made me cryIn other news, I cried, like a pregnant woman with raging hormones, watching this:simply beautiful. I don't care if he wins or not, he totally rawks! if i knew how to, I'd play this song over pictures/videos of babies looking at their moms. AI7 Top 12 girlsaiyoh so sorry.Thursday is a weekend over here and weekends are usually busy for me. I only managed to watch the repeat of the show and even then I missed the first 2 girls. So this will be really short: I thought Alaina's version of Love You More was a better one compared to Chikezie's but I found she shouted too much. Amanda Overmier is so awesome. I never knew anyone who could use 'even-keeled' in a sentence. I loved he quick comeback to Simon's comments too. But I thought the lead guitar overshadowed her singing at certain moments. Amy Davis sounded a little pitchy and whiny. I preferred David Cook's version of Happy Together than Brooke White's. Alexandrea sounds and look professional and so did Ramiel Malubay, though ramiel was a little theatrical. She's so cute though what's with the hair?? Kady Malloy has a good voice but she looked kinda crossed eyed most of the time. And I love love loved Asiah Epperson's voice even though she's kinda gedik at times. I thought Shayesha mercado tends to over-shout her singing, and Carly ... like Michael Johns.. is waaaay too professional to be amateur. Who I think will be out: based on what I managed to see, Amy Davis and Kady Malloy. We'll see. AI7 Top 12 boysHere we go again...I thought that after 6 years of watching this show, the contestants would know by now that to win, you have to shine and show that you're special. You have to wow and just vocal acrobatics wont cut it. And song choice is SO very very important. David Hernandez sang Midnight Hour, and I thought that though he has a good voice, I found his performence uninspiring. Chikezie sang a diana ross song that goes "love you more today than tomorrow" and I'm afraid I liked Diana's version better. It had more punch. He got quite good towards the end of the song though. I really really liked David Cook's version of Happy Together. It was rawkin! I think Jason Yeager has an awesome voice and I could hear him singing this song on some children's animated movie soundtrack, but i dont know.. it was kinda bleagh. Robbie Carrico, who sang One is the Loneliest number looked more like a rocker than david cook, but I think his performence missed the mark. I totally understand what Simon meant about not being convinced about his 'rawkness'. David Archuletta was cute as always singing Shop Around. It was obvious that he stole the audience's heart tonight. I really liked that he always looked so comfortable and sound so passionate. My throat hurts everytime I hear him sing though.. like his stressing it a bit or something. I think Danny Noriega made a bad decision by singing Jailhouse Rock tonight. He did more shouting than singing, and somehow I got the impression that he was channeling more of a queen than a king. *double snap* Luke Menard, the carpet cleaner, sang Echoes of My Mind and was very very very weak, IMHO. Colton Berry (I always find blonde lashes a little freaky) did Elvis more justice with his performence of suspicious minds, but I thought he was just okay. Garret Hailey (from a place called 'Elida'!) was a little boring with a really slow version of Breaking Up is hard to do. I remember Jason Castro from the auditions because of his dreadlocks, but I didnt remember that he was *that* dreamy! Oh. My. God! This guy is , like , *sigh* *swoon*! How appropriate that he sang "What a day for a day dream". I thought his syncopation of the high note (which randy said was off key) was so endearing. Gosh this guy is shy but charismatic, tender yet bad boy in his jeans and those blue eyes!!! I want him to win. Michael Johns sorta paled in comparison to Jason.. he delivered Light My Fire well, but knowing that he's not really an amateur sorta dimmed my admiration for him.. :P Who I think will be out: Garret Hailey, Luke Menard also in trouble but I hope wont go: Jason Yeager, David Hernandez, Robbie Carrico Castro Castro Castro!!! The L0st R00mYou can tell that nothing exciting is happening in my life when I put up a lot of Transmission Jams.My current viewing obsession (aside from Amer1can Id0l) is this sci-fi series The L0st R00m. I usually avoid watching series because as I mentioned before, I can get quite obsessive and would get easily frustrated when I miss episodes and such. This one I stumbled upon when there was nothing else to watch one night. Lucky (or Unlucky) for me, they were showing the first episode, and watching the first episode is usually a sure fire method to get me caught in watching the next and the next and the next. I found the series to be extremely intriguing. It's fantastical and conspiratol elements reminds me of X-f1les, but instead of random unrelated extraordinary phenomenons, this series revolves around a 'magical' room and the objects that came from it. FBI Detective Joe Miller stumbled upon a key that could open any door and lead him to the 'l0st r00m'. From this room, he can go anywhere he can imagine. He and his daughter, Anna, also discovers that the room 'resets' everytime the door is opened/closed, anything inside the room that was not originally in the room and is not holding the key would dissapear. They also discover that a lot of people want the key, and that there are many other objects from the room that has their own 'powers', like a pen that microwaves people, a nail file that makes you go to sleep, a bus ticket that instantly sends you to the middle of nowhere (or so we thought), a comb that temporarily stops time, a clock box that stops decaying, a deck of cards that makes you crazy, etc etc. There are some people who think that the objects are from God and builds religions and organizations around the objects and makes it their sole purpose in life to retrieve all of them. Joe got himself immersed into this mess when during a tussle with a 'bad' guy who wanted the key, Anna ran into the room without the key and the door was closed, resetting the room. This series revolve around Joe's effort in getting his daughter back, but to do that he needs to decipher the room, the objects in it and what happened to make the room and the objects in it so powerful. Watch the trailer here: This series have made me glued to the edge of my seat for a whole hour in a day, and wondering around the house in anticipation for the next episode for the rest of the hours and days. If you're into fast paced sci-fi series, I would recommend it. If you're not or wouldnt want to be sucked into its vortex, be forewarned. { Last Page } { Page 1 of 9 } { Next Page } |
