The result is out, and our American Idol Season 8 Winner is ------- KRIS ALLEN!!! OMG I'm so thrilled and happy with this result. For the past few years I had been a big fan of AI, but never a year did my favourite won this title before. (Season 7 David A, Season 6 Melinda Doolittle, Season 5 Elliot Yamin etc) So I had already thought that Kris will not win also, especially that his opponent - Adam, is predicted by almost everyone to be a lock for AI winner.
Nevertheless, I still took a day off just to watch the life telecast of AI final result show today. I was so nervous towards the end when the result was being announced, and almost scream with joy when Kris was announced the winner. =P
It has been a great season, many great and unique singers, many great songs. Now that it has come to an end, I'm already beginning to miss this show. There's nothing to look forward to next week, oh my......
Anyway, I have to congratulate Kris on his winning, I think he deserves the win! I believe he will have a bright future as a singer, I'm looking forward for his 1st album soon.

Here is a link to an article about Kris' AI journey, well written with good video clip, enjoy!

American Idol Top 10 Week - Motown

  • Mar. 27th, 2009 at 12:43 AM



Yes, this is another week of solid performance by my favourite Kris, but ok I'm not so bias as to say he's the best of the night. Here is my ranking:

1. Adam - He is really amazing, great vocal and great technique, easily the best tonight(although I don't like him personally)
2. Allison - I like her cos she's unique, and gosh she's only 16yo!
3. Kris - It is fun and enjoyable, he choose the right song and he sings well, and he is extremely gorgeous!
4. Matt - Not a bad performance, nothing really exciting though
5. Anoop - Not bad vocally and technically, just that the song is abit too slow and makes u fall asleep
6. Danny - I always think that he is overrated, it's just an ok performance to me
7. Lil - She's a powerhouse, but she disappoints me by choosing the wrong song
8. Scott - His vocal and performance is ok, just fall short as compare to the rest
9. Michael - He looks abit tense and nervous, but I don't think he is that terrible as said by the judges, he just has to choose a song which is more suitable for him
10. Megan - OMG that is really really horrible, she just murdered this song. She is off pitch, off tempo, wrong arrangement, everything is wrong wrong wrong. She doesn't deserve to be in the Top 10.

American Idol Season 8 - Kris Allen

  • Mar. 19th, 2009 at 1:03 AM



I have sort of lost abit of interest in Season 8 AI since my favourite - Ricky Braddy, didn't got in to the Final 13. But after 2 nights of Top 13 competition, I'm beginning to like another contestant more and more, and he is Kris Allen.

To me, he is humble, great attitude, nice vocal, and cute. His smile can kill. =)

This is his performance in tonight's top 11, he is singing "To Make You Feel My Love". He has great control of his voice, although the song itself is quite boring, he actually make it sounds nice, I am quite touch after hearing him sing.

Hope that he can go far in this competition. All the best Kris!!!

American Idol Season 8 - Final Top 13

  • Mar. 12th, 2009 at 12:11 AM


Ok the reason why I posted this entry only now is that I still can't get over the fact that my favourite singer-Ricky Braddy didn't make it to the Top 13. He is obviously much better than most of the contestants who got in.

Anyway, the show must go on, after the wild card show, they decided that it should be Top 13 instead of 12, so here are your finalists:

 


 

American Idol Season 8 - Wild Card Round

  • Mar. 6th, 2009 at 12:10 AM

Immediately after the Group 3 result was announced, the judges picked 8 contestants who had not been voted to the Top 12, to come back on a Wild Card Round (Revival Round) and fight for the final 3 seats in the Top 12.
The show will be Live tomorrow(our Friday morning) and the judges will have the complete say this time to pick the 3 worthy contestant to fill up the top 12 seats.

The 8 lucky contestants who got a second chance are:
1) Anoop Desai - Am happy that he got a second chance.
2) Jasmine Murray - I'm don't really agree with this. No doubt she is talented and has a great voice at her age, but she performed badly during Top 36, so her seats should be given to those who performed better and didn't get selected.
3) Jesse Langseth - No comment, I didn't remember her anyway......
4) Matt Giraud - Am happy that he got a second chance also.
5) Megan Joy Corkrey - She is unique, and she is pretty, that's all.
6) Ricky Braddy - Am so so so happy! He better got selected this time!
7) Tatiana Nicole Del Toro - WTF! This drama queen!!?? No way!!!!
8) Von Smith - Am happy that he got a second chance.

Ok, this list is basically fine with me as most of my favourite contestants are in, except for a few ridiculous choices. (They should have replace Tatiana with Ju'Not and Jasmine with Felicia) I'm hoping that Anoop, Ricky and either Von or Matt can be selected, and at this point of time they also seem to be the favourite.

The problem now is, so far the 9 choosen for top 12 consists of 6 males and only 3 females, so the judges may want to make the gender more even and decide to choose more females than males. If this really happen, I'll be really upset because all of my favourites are male! If I really have to choose only one male, then......it will be Ricky, because he can really sing well, and I seriously think that his performance during the Top 36 is by far the best. So let's pray hard that he will get in.

Sorry Anoop, though I really like you too......=(

American Idol Season 8 - Top 36 Group 3

  • Mar. 5th, 2009 at 11:56 PM

Group 3 of Top 36 sang on Tuesday, this group consists of 12 contestants as below:

Von Smith 22 years old Home: Kansas City, MO Audition: Kansas City, MO Photo   Video

Before the show starts, my favourite of this group were Lil Rounds, Scott Maclntyre and Von Smith. After the show, it proved that all 3 of them performed quite well, and based on the judges feedback Lil and Scott were almost a lock to make it to the Top 12. However, another singer also caught my attention, that is Jorge. He is from Puerto Rico and he speaks English with a funny ascent. But he can really sing very well, I especially love his voice which is so gentle and smoothing. So I was torned among 4 of these singers because only 3 can make it to the top 12.

The result shows on Wednesday revealed that the 3 who make it to top 12 are:

American Idol Season 8 - Top 36 Group 2

  • Mar. 1st, 2009 at 12:22 AM

Group 2 performed 2 days ago and result was out yesterday. Before the result was announced I was really hoping that Kris Allen will make it to the top 12. He performed quite well that night, he has a very good attitude, he is likable and most importantly, he is CUTE!! But I was quite worried before the result show because he is another contestant who didn't have much coverage during the audition and Hollywood week. He doesn't have a huge fan base as compare to some other contestants.
So I am really really glad that he was voted into top 12! Well done America!!!

Here is the 12 contestants who sang in group 2:
 
 
Adam Lambert
26 years old Home: Los Angeles, CA Audition: San Francisco, CA Photo   Video
 
Allison Iraheta
16 years old Home: Los Angeles, CA Audition: San Francisco, CA Photo   Video
Jasmine Murray 16 years old Home: Starkville, MS Audition: Jacksonville, FL Photo   Video
Jeanine Vailes 27 years old Home: Sherman Oaks, CA Audition: San Francisco, CA Photo   Video
Jesse Langseth 25 years old Home: Minneapolis, MN Audition: Kansas City, MO Photo   Video
Kai Kalama 26 years old Home: San Clemente, CA Audition: San Francisco, CA Photo   Video
 
Kris Allen
23 years old Home: Conway, AR Audition: Louisville, KY Photo   Video
Matt Breitzke 27 years old Home: Bixby, OK Audition: Kansas City, MO Photo   Video
Matt Giraud 23 years old Home: Kalamazoo, MI Audition: Louisville, KY Photo   Video
Megan Joy Corkrey 22 years old Home: Sandy, UT Audition: Salt Lake City, UT Photo   Video
Mishavonna Henson 18 years old Home: Irvine, CA Audition: Phoenix, AZ Photo   Video
Nick Mitchell 27 years old Home: Brookfield, CT Audition: New York, NY Photo   Video

And the 3 who advanced to Top 12 are:

 Adam Lambert
Top 12 26 years old Home:

Allison Iraheta
Top 12 16 years old Home:
Los Angeles, CA Audition: San Francisco, CA Photo   Video

Kris Allen
Top 12 23 years old Home:
Conway, AR Audition: Louisville, KY Photo   Video


I am happy with this result because they are indeed the best 3 performers during that night. Apart from this, I also hope that Matt Giraud gets a chance in the Wildcard week. He has a very soulful voice, just that he chooses a horrible song to sing this week, if not he should have a high chance to advance to top 12.

American Idol Season 8 - Top 36 Group 1

  • Feb. 27th, 2009 at 12:36 AM


OK, I'm abit late in posting this, the 1st group of 12 Semifinalists had performed last week and result was out. But since I was very very busy last week, I only have time to post this now.

This is the 12 semifinalists who performed last week:
 
 
Alexis Grace
Top 12
21 years old Home: Memphis, TN Audition: Louisville, KY Photo   Video
Ann Marie Boskovich 22 years old Home: Nashville, TN Audition: Jacksonville, FL Photo   Video
Anoop Desai 21 years old Home: Chapel Hill, NC Audition: Kansas City, MO Photo   Video
Brent Keith 28 years old Home: Blanchester, OH Audition: Louisville, KY Photo   Video
Casey Carlson 20 years old Home: Minneapolis, MN Audition: Kansas City, MO Photo   Video
 
Danny Gokey
Top 12
28 years old Home: Milwaukee, WI Audition: Kansas City, MO Photo   Video
Jackie Tohn 27 years old Home: Silver Lake, CA Audition: New York, NY Photo   Video
 
Michael Sarver
Top 12
27 years old Home: Jasper, TX Audition: Phoenix, AZ Photo   Video
Ricky Braddy 26 years old Home: Nashville, TN Audition: Louisville, KY Photo   Video
Stephen Fowler 26 years old Home: Beachwood, OH Audition: New York, NY Photo   Video
Stevie Wright 16 years old Home: Phelan, CA Audition: Phoenix, AZ Photo   Video
Tatiana Nicole Del Toro 24 years old Home: San Juan, PR Audition: San Francisco, CA Photo   Video


The first 3 who had make it to the Top 12 are:

Alexis Grace
Top 12 21 years old Home:

Michael Sarver
Top 12 27 years old Home: Jasper, TX Audition:

Danny Gokey
Top 12 28 years old Home:
Milwaukee, WI Audition: Kansas City, MO Photo   Video


I was having a mix feeling with the result. There're actually quite a few of my favourites in this group, so it's kind of difficult for me to choose, but base on the performance on that night, I have to say the 3 who should go through are Alexis, Danny and Ricky. It is unfortunate that Ricky didn't go through, mainly because he had almost zero airtime during audition and Hollywood week, so audiences are not familiar with him, as compare to Michael. Anyway, I really really hope that he has a chance during the wildcard week cos seriously I think he is the best during that night's performance.
I also hope that Anoop gets a 2nd chance at the wildcard week, he is unique and he can actually sing quite well. Anyway, I think his chance of getting through is high because he has a huge, huge fanbase behind him.

American Idol Season 8

  • Feb. 27th, 2009 at 12:06 AM


I have been a fan of AI since Season 1, so am excited again that Season 8 starts airing few weeks ago. This Season's format is a little bit different from previous seasons, they choose a total of Top 36 semifinalists, and divide them into 3 groups of 12 to perform every week. Each week the male, female, and the next top vote getter with the highest number of votes will make it into the top 12. The remaining 3 seats in the top 12 will be choosen by judges at the Wildcard round among those who were eliminated.

At the moment of posting, we had already seen the first 3 contestants who advanced to the final top 12, the second 3 contestants result will be out tomorrow, and I'm really hoping that my favourites will get to advance to final tomorrow, finger cross......

Anyway, here is the photos of the Top 36 semifinalists:

情书

刚看了“海角七号”,个人觉得是蛮不错的一部片子, 很简单,朴实的道出了几段感人的爱情故事。戏里最让我感动的,是那日本男孩写给女孩的情信。 信里字字句句都充满了他对她无限的思念和爱,真的太感人了。

忽然想起了这首歌。。。。。


谢谢你陪我看了这部温心,感人的戏。

 Very Nice new song from Guo Jing, who were make famous by the song 我不想忘记你。The MTV is sad also, at the end of it I realised tears from my eyes. :(
