I do not hook up

E-mail PDF

Oh no! I do not hook up up! This is the second and current single from Kelly Clarkson's new album that I'm absolutely hooked on to.

What interests me is that it was written by Katy Perry, which according to wiki, was originally meant for Katy's unreleased album. Thanks to the absolute lack of privacy and the advancements of the world wide web, we have both versions at our disposal.

Have a listen at both and tell me what u think!

Katy's version:

 

Kelly Clarkson's version:

The carving of an anthem - "So What"

E-mail PDF

Song Title: So What
Artist: P!nk (Pink)
Album: Funhouse (2008)
Genre: Pop Rock

Writer(s): Pink, Max Martin, Shellback
Producer(s): Max Martin

Finally, a chart topping hit that is bigger than all her previous effort. It had the combination of all the right elements. The verse is a cleverly crafted hook that has only ONE line, repeated all over and emphasized by the guitar line. It will have you singing in no time. While the chorus has this anthem-like feel (kinda like a heavier version of Girlfriend) that will have the crowd shouting and rocking everytime it hits. Coupled with the right words (lyrics), and you have this uplifting and independent-spirited break-up theme song.

Btw, did I mention that this song was a nominee of the Best Female Pop Vocal Performances at the 2009 Grammy?

The glittery part of my life

E-mail PDF

Just once in a bluemoon in my pathetic-than-usual life, I get to experience a little bit of glitter and glamour that "mere mortals" might not have a chance of experiencing. To cut the whole story short, I went for YuXie Awards show last weekend at Genting. The whole show was.. well.. long. VERY long.

The fun part was that we get to join the after party where you get to rub shoulders with all the people of the industry.

I get to meet up with long-time-no-see friends:

Then get really drunk and party with fun chicks:

Not forgetting meeting up with old gangs and "families":

Overall the whole event was nice... Well other than the part where my song did not manage to win an award, AND the fact that I have to sit there till my butt go numb (five friggin hours) of course....

It was all worth it when I get to take a photo with the best-supporting-actress-nominee, Lai Meng:

I felt sorry for her that she had to share the same name as some good-looking-but-not-good-in-anything-else brat. But I tell you, she was the STAR of the whole after party! Everybody wants to take a pic with her until she never really get a chance to nibble on her food! And for someone over 80, she is in really good shape! Even though she needs a little assistant when walking, but to imagine that she can still be active in an acting career she has got my salute!

Beyonce - If I were a boy

E-mail PDF

Finally, Beyonce is coming out with her third solo album. This time its gonna be a "double album" with 2 singles released simultaniously (from each album). Checked both of them out, but I love this one more.

The song "If I were a boy" instantly reminded me of Kelly Roland's previous efford called: "Stole", which carries a heavy social message. Of course, by looking at the title, it could just be absolutely gay (or rather les).

Great melody, nice lyrics, and very emotionally done vocals. As if that wasn't enough, what stole my heart was the music video, which was, to me, the diamond on top of a gold ring. It had a storyline, full plot with a twist at the end, which is what makes the "Wow" factor! Am amazed by it, and very touched by it. We have a hit!

David Cook released his first single

E-mail PDF

Finally! David Cook the winner of American Idol 7th season released his first single titled "Light On" online couple days ago. His album is scheduled to be released somewhere in November, which is still couple of months away.

Anyhow, searching youtube, I was able to listen to the song, and its.... Well, it a "nice" song, I guess, but has "shadow" of other rock bands/singers (discussion online tends to compare him to Chris Daughtry). I'd say its still a good and commercial song, but I have come to expect more of him. I'm waiting for something that surprising, which could be really hard to top after all the great covers he made during the American Idol competition.

Anyways, the song aside.. Do you remember how David looked when he first joined the competition? And how a little proffesional "touch" helped to totally change his image? I searched for the before and after photo for comparison's sake, check it out:


If I were to describe his image before and after in ONE word, this is it:

BEFORE: Underground
AFTER: Commercial
