Why do I do the things I do? I'd tell you if I knew.

Wham - Everything She Wants. Been listening to songs from the 80s. Think they had better songwriters those days. Our parents were so darn lucky, come to think of it. Heh. I mean, come on. This song is already almost two decades old but I still love it. 2 million people on Youtube love it. Plus, George Michael has the voice. No one sings it like he does.

Another classic that's been replaying non-stop in my head - Spandau Ballet's True.

I saw this on Skins and remembered how my mom used to blast this when I was younger. Brought back loads of childhood memories. Mixed tapes. Michael Jackson. Waiting for the music videos to appear on TV.

The Skins' version with the Britain Ukelele Orchestra. Nice.

You turn the room a shade heaven.

Rie Sinclair's No Way Out. I heard this on TV the other day and I instantly loved it. Nice and slow. With just the piano. That's my kind of peace. Sorry I couldn't find a video with better audio.

I love this song. Just listen and you'll be hooked. Delena scenes always have the best music. Seriously. It's like they keep all the best songs for them on purpose! Cause that's the producers' top secret agenda.  That it's all gonna lead to this amazingly epic love story that's gonna span for seasons. Yep, seasons. Hopefully as long as Law and Order. The original one. Haha. 

I'm gonna dance someday, y'know?

What an NLT-filled week. First with Artie dancing in Glee. Like ZOMGSPIDERS! He's the most fantabulous dancer among all the Glee kids (trust me, I used to be so obsessed back in '08, jeez) and they are SO evil to put him in that wheelchair! Stupid fraks.

They must have this miraculous moment in the future (hopefully sooner) when Artie finally gets out of that chair. This is television, things can happen. 

Next is Travis Garland on American Idol. OMG that's the biggest platform to kick off one's career! Good for him, though I still sorta blame NLT's breakup on him. Hmmph. Anyway, hope we get to watch some NLT action on the stage. Beeteedubs, first time I'm watching Idol with enthusiasm this year. Sweet move, Idol.

Grammys

You know what? It's been raining award shows since Jan. And I sure had fun watching all those airbrushed celebs walking down the red carpet being critiqued by our favourite Enews correspondents. I absolutely enjoyed Joan Rivers on the Fashion Police, by the way. Call me a bimbo, but it's interesting (and funny) to see how celebs who are supposed to be the epitome of high fashion, get carried away with their stylist. Sometimes I'll just be like, WHAT. WERE. THEY. THINKING. Mouth open and everything. Even the girl on the street can dress better!

So let me have my say on the recent Grammys. Honestly, I love the show. Never missed a single one. The performances are always special, with remixed songs or even surprising pairings. You never know what they'll be throwing at you. This year's started pretty good, with Lady Gaga and Sir Elton John opening. You can never go wrong with Lady Gaga. She sings LIVE, for one. And the whole duet thingy was amazing. Was kinda distracted by the earring though. Heh.

 

He stole my art, he sto-o-ole my art

Beyonce was as bootylicious as ever. Thought she was gonna fall anytime in those heels. Eek. Wouldn't want a repeat of that. Hmm, what was next. Oh yeah, BEP. Heavy bass and dancing/jumping human boomboxes. Awesome. Don't really like their latest single Imma Be. Why must people use wrong grammar in songs? It's cool, really? Don't know about that. My dad was definitely puzzled. 

And then there was T Swizzle. Aka Taylor Swift. Oh yeah, there wasn't a Kanye in sight. Interesting. She was a little blah, not in her usual glittery outfits. Was a little surprised she took home the big one, Best Album. I bet all those other nominees were shocked too, having lost to 19 year old Taylor. Well, I guess it pays to write your own songs. Kudos to her for that.

Very 'chao lao'. Heh.

The MJ tribute was just weird. In 3D?! Come on, the success of Avatar doesn't mean that anything would look better in 3D. Instead, the celebs just looked awkward in those glasses. Trying to look cool too. Not right lah. Should be available ONLY in theatres near you. 

You're never gonna be anybody else
You're never gonna see until you see yourself
So come on come on see how it goes
Come on come on take a deep breath
And don't let go

Gosh I just feel like listening to the entire Paramore album now. The mood's kicking in.

whydoweliketohurtsomuch?

Ahh I love them. And to think I thought they were another wannabe rock band. I'm too blind (or in this case, deaf) sometimes.

Hayley's so puh-reetee. And I have two words. AWESOME HAIR. lol.

Choir ended pretty late today. So missed my lunch. Sad.

Finally watched Idol though. That's 100% not sad. Adam's the man! Woo. Even Simon gave a standing O. =)

SU2C

Anyone watched SU2C? Stands for Stand Up To Cancer. Was on in the morning LIVE on Starworld.
Celebs all bersatu padu for this. Kinda cool. You see Sheryl Crow one second and ex Lance Armstrong the next.

AWKWARD.
haha.

And they sang the song live! love it. LOL just the inspiration I desperately needed.

Check it out.
