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.
OFFBEAT STUFF
There is this one
section in here that
features offbeat stuff
that are not
entertainment based. The
section is known as
FUNN STUFF
[COMMENTS & OPINIONS].
PERSONAL FAVOURITES
There are 3 sections in
here that contain my
personal favourites of
all kinds.
THE DDGs [COMMENTS
& OPINIONS] which
features specially made
websites by myself with
info & all related stuff

Jennifer Hudson & Great Albums
Permanent link ▫ ▫  
AI 3 -Jennifer Hudson
It is interesting I read some news, you know theories why she was booted and some said biasness, some said split votes and some said probably racism. Split votes maybe, since I was told that Latoya, Fantasia and Hudson were in the bottom 3. Frankly I am not surprised to see them in bottom 3. Maybe there is a simpler explanation to this other than split votes; viewers were simply bored with perhaps their R&B treatment of Barry Manilow songs? I haven't seen this episode but I suspect that will be it. 2 weeks from now you'll read my comments on this. But I do know why Hudson was kicked off. Not racism because America consists of many races, majority of them aren't white. So if race is an issue, every African American, Spanish, Italians, Mexicans, Asians, etc who has a phone will certainly vote for her. Perhaps even other races couldn't stand her "power voice" hitting "power notes" thereby killing the "power song". Please ...Barry Manilow's songs are sweet, happy, a bit jingle-sh, in fact dandy (not gay but you know simple) and I bet she complicated the song unncesserily. If John was kicked, many will say GREAT but nobody ever said perhaps the voters were racist or biased. Now Hudson was voted off, I read idiotic comments like this. I agree split votes could be the culprit but I would bet America has had enough of divas and R&Bs. It's time for a singer who actually sings. I am looking forward to John's performance whom I have heard moved people to tears not because it was boring but because it was full of feelings. Hudson successfully crushed all feelings in a song, she is a very selfish singer, because the words, the song is as important as the voice. Her rendition of Circle of Life convinced me that this woman without control will be a menace to the musical world. And Latoya may be great but she's absolutely boring and without charm. Fantasia I am surprised is in the bottom 3 but I suspect it's her arrogance and drive to win that may be the culprit. Glad to know Huff survived, because he is my idea of an American Idol. Anyway that being said, I suspect John is the next to go since the next theme is Latin and I can't imagine for the life of me how he is going to sing "Living La Vida Loca" with that Big Band voice. It's not fair, they should do a big band night.
Great Albums
I recently bought 3 albums because 1 album I do not have cash, 2 albums not enough for my credit card charge so 3 albums. I listen to cassettes when I am driving and in KL that's like many many hours. Ever since morning crew Hitz.FM was replaced by 2 inept uninteresting idiots that promotes nothing intelligent but everything stupid, and without the daily dose of my favourite intelligent articulate DJs, Fly Guy and Little Kev who were both better than the best DJs out there, I have been buying albums. From Stephanie Sun to many more, recently I bought:-
1. Guy Sebastian - because he was a Malaysian and he was the Australian Idol so I was curious. Turned out his first single was wonderful but his version of When Doves Cry was absolutely horrible. Still he has a very good voice though I heard him sing out of tune many times.
2. The Darkness - I was never into rock groups until I saw School of Rock. I was inspired by Jack Black's passion for rock music so I was quite ok with it. I am not into hard rock though. Then I heard this single called something I believe In Love or That Thing Called Love or something like that. I was blown away by the voice and the music. In fact I bought the album for this one single and I found myself happy with my purchase because the whole album was excellent. Some songs are hard rock, some playful, some sad but all were sung with such love, attention and passion I have played the album 3 times in a row and still never bored. A great buy.
3. Will Young's Friday's Child - or something like that. I liked Will Young ever since hearing him sing in the World Idol show, his rendition of Baby You Can Light My Fire is still lighting my fire even now. So I bought his album. He is very famous in the UK but in Malaysia, more pop idol-ish runner up Gareth Gates is more famous because he sings like a boy band. Great voice but not very good songs. Will Young's album is perhaps the best album purchase I have ever made, other than Weird Al Yankovic's CDs which caused me a fortune. His voice is not only soft, in fact some may say it's not a good voice but he has got his way of singing. Whenever I hear him sing, it's like he is making gentle love to his song, very passionate and yet soft. I was seduced by his voice and I think I am in love with his music, except of course he is gay. Anyway, all songs are great, but Stronger is the best because it's just too sexy though not one single word of Sex is ever mentioned in that song. I beg you to buy his album, I beg Jennifer Hudson to buy his album, because this to me is singing.
In fact I believe given time, some vocal training and more exposure, John Stevens could be like this. One advantage that John has over Will is John already has this beautiful trance like voice. He needs grooming and some more exposure to different styles without abandoning his passion for big bands. I hope arecord company will sign him on because I suspect I will not regret buying his album.
