Hipnotic
Over-heard "It's Not Unusual" playing in the airwaves this evening. The singer is of course from Tom Jones, the man with a ridiculously superb voice. You don't buy that, they don't come in package. Knew he was a star when me was just a little boy back then. Which brings to the topic of current male pop singers. It's kind of sad that only a few of them are worthy and have class. Names that come to mind are Robbie Williams, that bad boy from the defunct Take That....which ruled the 90s; Jamie Cullum, the so called "Sinatra in sneakers" which sounds kinda cool; Michael Buble, the crooner who knows his stuff and plays his cards expertly when performing the old classics.. Goodness me I think that is all whom are worth mentioning... Poor thingy..being a guy me-self...
Seems like the gals are overshadowing the pop culture nowadays. Ashlee, Avril, Jessie, Kylie, Sophie are cool in me opinion. I'm not into the rnb culture so not too sure about these Alicia K, Jennifer,etc ppl.
Ok let me stop short now by mentioning one piece of "hilarious to the bone" script acting that was shown on tv a few days back. The show is called "Internet Love"...not too sure about what the hell they are trying to tell the audience, but never mind...there was this scene where an engaged couple were on the phone and deciding on whether they wanted to have lunch together. The gal said she was busy with her work, so she said she can't make it. And so the guy, with his collegue i suppose decided to have lunch together instead. That collegue somehow had a crush on the guy...and somehow she knew that his fiance was meeting some other guy whom i'm not too sure who he is too... But then the funny part came when she brought the guy to the same restaurant where his fiance was seen having lunch with some guy. The poor chap quickly became furious and asked her what is she doing with him because she said she was supposed to be busy.... Before the gal could explain...he showed his hand with the ring to her...and plucked it out while in a fit of anger and threw it to the ground!!!!
I was like "W H A T T H E F O O K??"...If all guys have this same mentality...the mariage rate will plummet down just like the era of ManYoo...hahahahahaa!!!! Anyways I was guffawing like nobody's biz from that piece of acting...
Damn, the season of the Premiership is over. *Wailing*
Now what is left is the F.A Cup Final & CL Final. Hope the Arses beat the Man-Yankees... And the Reds to triumph over AC in Istanbul.
There are quite a good number of emerging bands coming through this year. Remember these bands well : The Kaiser Chiefs, The Departure, Thirteen Senses, The Bravery, Babyshambles.
It's kinda funny seeing Sam Endicott & Brandon Flowers bad-mouthing each other on their brand of music being the more superior. Well, to me both Bravery & Killers have their own strengths and weaknesses and I declare them as 50-50. Not one is better or worse than the other. It's kind of cool to have these musicians bringing back the 80's rock sounds of good ol Depache(or De-pa-chi as quoted by some lame jackass), New Order & Duran2.
Bands like Interpol , Strokes, Hives, W.Stripes, Franz Ferdinand saved the world from the "blink182s, matchbox20s, simple plan-s, evanescence-s, limp biscuits" that had me thinking back in 2000 about the sad state of the music industry.
Oh yeah, Vonzy was eliminated today. Good luck to Bo & Carrie. This finale is more worth watching than last year's Barrino(duck voice but superb nonetheless) & Degarmo("come on ya all" mickey-you're-so-fine chants).
Bo's voice is top quality especially when he sang without them musicians. Carrie has been outstanding in her country songs' vocals.
(Playing Darth Vader's theme song).....
Maybe I should find out how I can get into that gear and have pictures taken with it. Now that's cool!!
Definitely, Maybe.
