AI2011: Jacob Lusk vs Casey Abrams

At first I liked Jacob Lusk the most but after a few performances..I kinda felt bored a little with his voice, his vibratos, the shouting and all but no doubt he could really sing. And now I thought Casey Abrams has bigger talent - he plays musical instruments, he's original, unique, versatile although he looks & acts funny but that makes his personality lovable. So I liked him better and I think he could likely be in the final. He was voted out once but the judges kept him:)

Well, just to share what I'm talking about....Here's my fav performance of Jacob Lusk singing one of my favourite song - 'A House is not a Home' (once popularised by Dionne Warwick & the late Luther Vandross)

Gosh, I missed Luther all over again after watching this.

And then...here's a video of Luther singing the same song and his soulful voice never fails to give me goose bumps. Although he's gone but he will still remain as my musical inspiration and idol. I have a collections of all his albums and compilation of his greatest hits.


Now..check out one of Casey Abrams best performance with 'With a little help from my friends' - loved his version!

He could be the next American Idol..who knows???

Anyways, tell me who's your favourite American Idol 2011?!

American Idol Season 10 is now on...

The AI fever is back again - yeah (I so LIKE)! I re-watch it's season 10 audition on youtube and I can't stand this one particular contestant's quirky personality, but at the same time can't stop myself from laughing because she's so different in her own silly-ness.

Here's the crazy 'Ashley Sullivan', AI Season 10 contestant during week 1 audition and made it to Hollywood (I think she's already getting popular from here - JLo doesn't care and hope Mr Tyler promise to work something out of her in the future..haha):


And I love the new judges...talking about Steve Tyler of Aerosmith and JLo but they are quite lenient, unlike the harsh mouth Simon Cowell - missed him already.

Quickie Hi!

Just a quickie despite being a lil busy this week.

1) Attended our company's Committee Meeting at Sutera Harbour Resort (as usual, I'm the minutes taker) and we celebrated our Chairman's 80th Birthday (but he looks like he's still in his 60's - he's damn healthy and still going strong as an 80 year old & he's an Indian). So now I'm aspire to live longer like him - eat and live healthy! And not to forget - lots of exercise too, ha!

2) Shucks! Kris Allen won the AI crown instead of the guy with eyeliner & black nail polish - Adam Lambert. It's okay, Kris deserved to win too, I thought his performance last night was good as Adam.

3) I'm going jogging today...oh maybe just brisk walking.

Adam Lambert vs Kris Allen in the AI09 Finale

So it's gonna be Adam Lambert (of course - I knew it from the beginning) and Kris Allen in the American Idol's finale next week (just can't wait).

It doesnt matter if this guy is in (or not in ) the 'G' community but what matters most is he's damn talented and one-of-a kind performer/star. I liked Adam but frankly speaking, I would fancy buying Danny Gokey's debut album instead cos his voice is just beautiful to my ears.

Meanwhile enjoy my favorite Danny Gokey's beautiful rendition & version of 'You Are So Beautiful' (sorry no actual video of his performance at the last concert but I think this will do for now). I've always love this song but after Danny sang his version, I totally fall in love with this song all over again and with Danny too (aargh...why can't he be in the finale...WHY?!)


You are so beautiful to me
You are so beautiful to me
Can't you see
Your everything I hoped for
Your everything I need
You are so beautiful to me

Such joy and happiness you bring
Such joy and happiness you bring
Like a dream
A guiding light that shines in the night
Heavens gift to me
You are so beautiful to me

Enjoy your weekend ya!

Happy Weekend & Mother's Day

Time really flies fast and weekend is here again and I've always look forward to do something worthy like painting an abstract art, crafting, scrapbooking, play and sing in the piano & etc at the weekends...unless I'm too tired/stressed up after layaning my little rascal CJ then I've become a lazy bone and my time for the weekend goes wasted...really frustrating when that happens...which usually does.

Okay here's something unrelated - American Idol...yes we now have the top 3 and Adam Lambert is in...of course he's the favorite to be the winner. I'm quite fond of him too, he's handsome but sometimes his looks are quite scary and weird but that's what we called unique and he might be or might not be - GAY. But he looks so convincing that maybe the rumours are true...OH NO! I think after he wins then he'll speak out the truth cos right now he needs or wants to be the next American Idol. See what happened to Clay Aiken.

The Top 3 - Kris Allen, Danny Gokey & Adam Lambert.

Anyways, have a fun-crazy and smiley weekend then. Now I'll leave you to enjoy listening and singing to my all-time favorite song. Here's 'After All', a theme from the movie 'Chances Are' sang by Peter Cetera and Cher (but Kim Keyes sang Cher's part in this video). I think I'm going to revive my vocal and sing this song at the weekend...I used to memorize it by heart. It's truly a love song and best sang at weddings.


AFTER ALL
Well, here we are again
I guess it must be fate
We've tried it on our own
But deep inside we've known
We'd be back to set things straight

I still remember when
Your kiss was so brand new
Every memory repeats
Every step I take retreats
Every journey always brings me back to you

Chorus:
After all the stops and starts
We keep coming back to these two hearts
Two angels who've been rescued from the fall
After all that we've been through
It all comes down to me and you
I guess it's meant to be
Forever you and me
After all

When love is truly right
It lives from year to year
It changes as it goes
And on the way it grows
But it never disappears

Chorus

Bridge:
Always just beyond my touch
You know I needed you so much
After all, what else is living for?

And Happy Mother's Day too - read related post here.
