JESSICA JUNG OUT OF SNSD?

October 03, 2014 0
JESSICA JUNG OUT OF SNSD?

You know how I love my girls, SNSD, right? Well most of them but then looking at it now, I guess like most of girl or boy groups, things do happen behind the scene that we don't really get to see and so we imagine that things are perfect like they do on the show or on TV in general. Yeah, even when they show "behind the scene" stuff. That's still not it. 

Now, so if you're here to know what happened to Jessica, you're in a wrong page. If you want to know what I think about it, now we're talking. Okay I can't help it. Jessica Jung apparently started a business called BLANC and was fully permitted by SM Entertainment to do her thing. But then after confirming that the permission is still valid, days later, she was kicked out. Like, come on! I know it's not the first time this kind of thing happened in this company but hey!! (EHEM TVXQ). Just a side note though, Sica is not even my bias. 

Anyways, the girls also apparently talked about this issue altogether and even made Jessica choose between her business and her still being part of the group. She can't choose! You just don't let somebody choose between two important things. I know life is about choices but sometimes you can't really choose. She said that the business though is just launched a few months back and she can't back out of that because she already signed the contract and whatnot but also! She renewed her contract to be in the group as well so what now? She's legally allowed to do both right? 

Do I think that the girls betrayed her? I actually don't think so (much). I think they were somehow told to act such way. Or I don't know. Maybe they were really acting on their own. But you see, even for just "acquaintances", being together for so long, I don't think you would be able to do something such as not fighting for someone who you know is doing what can do her better. You know what I mean? But then again, our minds don't really operate the same. 

So yeah. I guess I just want to wish good luck to Jessica! And may her business be as huge as it can be so she can slap SME in their faces.

Payphone music video.

May 13, 2012 2
Payphone music video.
I have no idea what's the relevance of the video to the song. Well, except the fact that there is a pay phone of course. Well, the scene of the new Maroon 5 music video is that there's like a robbery thingy and the hot office girl and Adam Levine somehow managed to escape. The thing is when Adam Levine stole the gun from the gun man, he too is being a target of the cops. Is that a representation or something? Enlighten me please. One more thing is that the girl kind of disappeared and I don't know where she is really. But I'm sure that it was Adam who asked the girl to kind of be separated to him. MAYBE! The music video is a representation indeed. Like, getting out of a chaotic relationship together (holding hands) and managed to. But at the end of it, when there's like too much complications already (cops chasing them) they go separate ways. And the guy have to suffer more so it's just him that's being chased by the cops. Is that it? IDK. Maybe.



From experience, if the gun man asked you to get on the floor or something, do so! And for him to actually do otherwise is just questionable. I'm not sure whether the suspects will actually hurt him/them for actually following their instructions. I don't know.


But maybe it is indeed something deeper. And for that reason, I approve!

The Voice Season 2 Finale. My Verdict.

The Voice Season 2 Finale. My Verdict.

NO OTHER THAN TONY LUCCA! I know what you're thinking! AND NO! IT'S NOT BECAUSE HE'S ON TEAM ADAM. It's  just that whenever he sings, I can really feel it. And there are like stories in his songs. Like, he's singing the story of the songs. Gets?

It's really inappropriate for me to tell but for some reason, Chris Mann's performances didn't really make an impact on me. He's really good too. But his eyes are somehow empty and emotionless and all that. Or probably just me. His "You Raise Me Up" was awesome though.

Juliet Simms was awesome as well. I don't know. She's really good. But I just don't feel her that much as well.

Jermaine Paul was also good. Really touching how he thanked his coach. :)

Christina's chest.

Christina's chest.
As a fan of Christina Aguilera, I saw a drastic transformation. Is it a good thing? I say, yes. I think her new look fits her perfectly. Like, it just proves that skinny does not look good on everyone. Looking back though, since there's no one to compare her too, I thought that she was on her best. But you know, things change.

I also saw Christina Aguilera's interview on Ellen Degeneres show like probably weeks before The Voice started. And the first thing Ellen told Christina was something like 'you're breast feeding?' I'm not sure if that's the exact words but something close to that.

Seeing her right now, mainly on The Voice, makes me really proud that she was able to come this far. And she's hotter than ever! When I think of The Voice, only three things crosses my mind. Adam Levine, Christina's boobies, and The Voice itself. Or sometimes only Christina Aguilera's boobies alone. It depends.

Don't get me wrong though, she looked very beautiful when she was skinny. It's just that she looks more beautiful now. Or at least for me. You can have your own opinion about her but I don't care. Just kidding.

So yeah, as a conclusion, I think that her looks/figure now is so far her best, and I'm not saying that she can't look any better!

Here's a picture for a comparison:

Marry Your Daughter?

April 13, 2012 1
Marry Your Daughter?
NO THANKS! :)

First of all, it's the vaguest title ever invented in the music industry. Next to a whole bunch of course. I mean, what's up with SHINee's Ring Ding Dong? Well, at least it doesn't actually mean something. Or is it a telephone ringing, doorbell, or what? See, unlike this one which kind of gives us an idea that they're actually promoting a dad to marry his daughter. Are they promoting incest or what? GROSS! That's why I kind of hesitated to listen to it when almost all the YouTube community made a cover of the song and I kept thinking why on earth are they buying it? And what the hell is going on? And stuff like that. Until there was a particular cover in which I was tempted to listen to (local celebrity kids) and actually, I realized that it doesn't literally mean to marry your daughter. Which made me pissed off even more. Like, what the hell? Is it gonna cost them extra 100 thousand dollars if they gonna include "I'M GONNA" in "Marry Your Daughter"?  Is it that hard to make it clearer? Am I the only one freaking out to this? Or is it supposed to make people freak out? Intrigued? I don't know.

The Voice UK vs USA. The Battle.

April 04, 2012 2
The Voice UK vs USA. The Battle.
Recently, I've been watching a show called THE VOICE. Like before, I've noticed YouTube stars promoting this and after one and another, I was like "AGAIN?" I was really annoyed, if you can't tell.

Then I don't know but recently, WOW I just got hooked like that. Oh why again? First of all, just the thought of Adam Levine , enough said. Then one time I searched for The Voice on YouTube and a UK version showed. And my whole world was like "WHAT'S HAPPENING?".

Let the battle begin!


I think the combination of the judges is just so fantastic in the US version. In the sense that, provided you're truly is a singer, there's a place for you.


Well, here in the UK version however, they sort of talk a lot when the blind audition is going on and I have this feeling that they kind of have an ideal singer. If that makes sense.  Like, they really do talk a lot (said that already) and I think in majority of the contestants, the judges feel the same, sort of.  In the US version, they sort of talk but not really to the extent of being that obvious. They rather stare at each other a lot.

Also, not that I am being racist or anything, I think I was just shocked when I saw Will.I.Am there. Isn't he American? But then I remembered Simon Cowell. ALL GOOD. What I like about the UK version is that they have a legend there (Sir Tom Jones). Well ,everyone's a legend. So never you mind.

Talent can't be judged so I won't be speaking about that but (yes, I will), I think as far as talent is concern, I like the blind audition performances of the US. Well, I can't tell because they're kind of showing off individually already in the US whilst still on the blind auditions in the UK.

LSS much.

LSS much.

I've been listening to Eminem's Lose Yourself pretty much all the time now. How come? It all started after I heard a guy named Max Milner did a mash-up of Come Together and Lose Yourself on The Voice UK. And my homeboy Danny of The Script kind of rapped on his seat. If that's not attractive to you, then I don't know what is.

Sam Tsui. Is he a she?

Sam Tsui. Is he a she?
I'm just wondering. He's really good looking! But lately, it's just that I've been meeting a lot of shes that are hes. So yeah. Can't trust anything as of the moment. But anyways I think he's a talent and yeah just watch his videos and all that. I hope he's straight though.

But even though he's gay, he's still talented so it doesn't matter.

I really hope he's straight though.

BIG BANG IS BACK!

BIG BANG IS BACK!
MY BABIES! NO! NOT LITERALLY.
If you know me (I doubt), you know that these babies are mine. I mean, it's ours of course but they're mine. As far as I can remember, I liked them because a friend of mine made me watch G-Dragon's Shine A Light concert and that's where it all started. I'm really happy for them and I wish them success and may they be everywhere this comeback. Fighting!

Just A Dream (Nelly) YouTube cover favorites.

Just A Dream (Nelly) YouTube cover favorites.


WATCH <--- HERE

So this is at the top of my list. I like them individually too. No bias! I personally think that they did a good job singing this. Don't you guys (girls) love it when Sam Tsui sing to you like this? It's just so full of passion and emotion and everything. I love Christina Grimmie's vocals here. I think she sung it very well. So all in all, I really think this cover is awesome. I can go on and go on with this but I can't stop mentioning the word awesome so I might as well stop.

                                                   WATCH ---> HERE

This one is kind of a rock rendition but it was awesome. I also felt the emotion of that guy Wesley Avery I guess. I think he did a good job. He's good looking too. But that's just not the point of me liking his cover. Or probably yes. I don't know. You be the judge.



WATCH <--- HERE

To be honest, I searched for a third cover to review or to favorite because I honestly don't listen to anyone more than those two videos above for this particular song. But hey! This one's good too.


I want to make it clear that yes! There are many other covers with probably more views or whatever than these three but I think what's more important to me is that the fact that I can at least feel the emotion and that they haven't done it for the sake of whatever and stuff. It just shows. So yeah and if you're wondering how many I've watched. Well, probably around 9. So yeah tell me what you think :)
