SELECTED POSTS

This page, NEWS & UPDATES which is actually the index page of this website has grown into a huge database of my almost daily ramblings of all stuff I hold dear to my heart, including gossips of the most sordid kind. For your convenience, I have posted a list of posts which I thought is pretty informative in my own way that you might find interesting. The list itself may be long but those selected few are the ones I thought drives home the point I wanted to make. Do check them out in MY POINT IS [Comments & Opinions].


SERIES' SUMMARIES

Sometime in 2004 I began reviewing selected series in an episode by episode way, where I called these reviews EPISODIC THOUGHTS. These thoughts are mostly summaries of each and every episode with my opinion of that episode included in it as well. I may not provide the most in depth summaries but I am very proud of the fact that I could keep the writing on such a long winded basis each and every night for the entirety of the series. I don't do this for each and every series though because it kills a lot of brain cells, mine as well as fellow netizens who often joined in the discussion by posting informative stuff. These thoughts are still open for feedback and discussion. Do check them all out in REVIEWS where it is indicated with an  [E] next to my name.

American Idol Season 3 - Elton John Night 
Permanent link Post a Comment

I almost cried when I heard those nasty comments about John Stevens' rendition of Crocodile Rock. Ok, he was off tune sometimes, so was everybody else in this episode but he for once was dancing, getting joggy with it so to speak and i really enjoyed his passionate performance, very energetic. I thought he started off great but like Jeffrey Archer, always ends badly. But he's still here!Wonderful charming performance.

The worst was that Camille girl, oh my god was my only reaction. Reminded me of Leah LaBelle.

Ok, now to this Elton John thing. The judges said pitchy to almost all of them and to JPL Paula said Rocket Man is a song that required a wide vocal range, like most of Elton John's songs so he wasn't good enough. Ok, JPL sang out of tune but in some part of his singing I can hear brilliance. So hew as booted much later but I hope he gets a recording contract, he has such presence and he does have a voice that needs a style. For once Paula said something useful.

Everybody sang out of tune at some part of the song and the reason is simple; ever thought that Elton John's songs are all one tune or tuneless? Which is why in order to sing with tune you get out of tune? I am not a fan of Elton John, i do not think he is a great singer. I think he is a wonderful peformer, a competent song writer but not a great singer. His songs are ok but could not be sung without much difficulty because they're written for his own vocal range which is almost nil. So I can't blame them for singing out of tune.

But I am sick to death of so called power notes, that is always heard in the comments about Jennifer Hudson's singing. Tonight she sang Circle Of Life and everybody applauded, calling it her best. Yes, if screaming is the best she will get my vote. She has successfully turned all tunes into a shouting screaming fest, I do wonder did she deafened all American voters that is why she is still here when she should be kicked out? Not only is she trying too hard, in her definition a good singing is singing the loudest! I think someone said it best. Anyone had Tom Yam before? Just because the Tom Yam is the spiciest or the rendang beef the spiciest doesn't make it a great Tom Yam or rendang beef though we expect the dish to be spicy. Too much of something is as bad and sometimes far worse than too little of something. jenifer Hudson reminds me of a Tom Yam soup gone wrong, and I am sick of so called power notes. Power notes in this competition is screaming. I prefer real singing for once.

Fantasia on her worst day is still good, whilst Latoya a good singer but really she is so boring to watch! The Hawaiian girls are in pretty bad shape. JPL remains my favourite but he's long gone by the time ASTRO showed this episode. My favourite to win AI is George Huff who has gone from strength to strength and is still humble as ever.

Anyway my favourites tonight are George Huff and John Stevens. JPL was off tune, that much I admit. The rest are either boring, lack spontaneity or simply dreadful.

PLEASE KICK JENNIFER HUDSON OUT!
