No, i am not tired of blogging.
Yes i am busy.
Don't really wan to go back to the cycle of complaining about school work. Coz i guess joy can be derived in various ways of my own. Nowdays i come home early on wed and thurs juz to catch my American Idol. This season is real cool. The contestants really each got their own unique charisma. My favourite three are Katherine McPhee (not aunt "Mcphee" the movie =) , Mandisa, and of course Taylor Hicks. Taylor is that grey-haired guy who was constanly persuaded to dye his hair black. Though the hair did make him look a bit father-like, but his charisma in singing is so uplifting. He is both a singer and a performer. Entertaining.
Mandisa, undoubtedly, is one of the "powerhouse" juz like the young girls, Paris and Lisa. Mandisa's vocal range is undeniably one of the best amongst the contestants. I like her rendition of "I'm Every Woman". Katherine on the other hand seem to be on the slanted advantage because of her obvious vocal training from her mother, who is a vocal coach. She can sing difficult song so effortlessly, which was what the judges had often said. Her nuances of singing displayed much of her air of confidence. In the latest episode, she was predicted by one of the judges to be in the finale of this season. How true this prediction is, nobody knows.
What i like about this season is also because of the various characteristic of each singer. Some obviously chose the route of country, some rock, some semi-rock (if there is such term), some pop-rock, some using falsetto to woo the crowd (Ace Young). I don't really think his falsetto is that appealing. The chicken little is out. Though i am not a fan of his, but i mus say his rendition of "when i fall in love" is pretty alluring. He who claimed that he can be the "sex symbol" of the AMerican Idol had been rid of the chance to embarrass himself. TIme to eat a humble pie man.
Katherine Mcphee did remind many people so much of Kelly Clarkson. Simon Cowell mention that in last week's performances. May be a less "ah lian" version of Kelly Clarkson ba.
Tmr is my test, so i have decided to finally take a due break to blog.
I am happy also because my tutor had replied me to the draft i had sent her of my second SS essay on Rajaratnam. She said it was excellent and creative. Good thing nothing major that i have to change or else my weekend is doomed. got to sleep.zzzzzzzzz
