darn, today's only monday... it's like so long to thursday. and meanwhile, wednesday and thursday will take such a long time to pass by. why? cos it's really hard to resist the temptation to surf around and read all the recaps/news. and hard not to want to download the performances. but i believe... i can resist the temptation! i mean, i'll try... so i'll have to start looking for something to keep myself occupied during that time. anyway it would have been much easier if sugarpie didn't just threaten to play it at full volume every now and then... they're not revealing the order of the performances nor the theme/ songs clay and ruben are gonna sing. but i'm guessing clay will perform first, then ruben. simply bcs clay was the last to perform last week. haha. unless the producers really do what they claim they will-- let the two contestants pick the order out of a bowl. but that doesn't matter at all. i don't really care about the order of performances. if you're good, you're good. the order's not gonna help. which also means, if you've decided, nothing's gonna change your mind. so actually there isn't even a need to perform for this last round. like some website puts it, ruben can just come out on stage, burp a loud one, pound his heart several times and go back in. and paula will still love it. many people would too. and i can say even if clay does some stupid grease dance again, his fans will still swoon all the same and vote their fingers off. so this time, it's just a matter of whose fans have better access to non-congested phone lines. alright, i should check out if alabama is bigger or north carolina. but if i'm predicting it's alabama although i have no references except the contestants. wanna know why i guess alabama's bigger? shouldn't be difficult, make an intelligent guess... simon, randy, the media on the whole, as well as many a celebrity, have already announced they want ruben to win. yup, WANT. and they're conveniently manipulating the public to vote that way. the mastermind is simon. oh you knew that already? oh yes, i forgot, he's, made a confession already right... nevermind, i don't care who wins. both of them are in the top 2 and i'm happy. i think hardly any of the contestants read harry potter. how many times have they told harry "play to your strengths" but apparently most of the contestants take that to heart. kim locke's strength is a powerful voice that can hit some good high notes. so i dunno what got into her and she kept singing songs that start off at lower keys. so she begins her songs shaky for about all her performances. but good thing, she can recover halfway through the performance, like clay can too. with that blunder in vincent, he could still carry on with the song seemingly unaffected. something josh will never learn. start off flat/sharp, and he never recovers. what makes things worse is, he can start off fine and go all bad in the centre (which will remain bad for the rest of the song). did you hear the bee gees medley? when they were singing "stayin' alive", oh boy josh really ruined the harmony of their voices. he was so obviously singing on a totally different key. the best he could do was to sing softer, but no. he was shouting out his off-key notes. oh boy. urgh. carmen's strength was obviously her looks/youth. whatever it is, it's NOT her voice. so i had no idea why she wanted to just stand still with that microphone stand and sing a song that "shows [her] range" since she has none. goodness. trenyce was not at fault for getting eliminated. nothing to say about that. josh deserves to go right from the first round of finals where he sang the same song as ruben. i can't say anything about him, i can't even see WHERE his strength lies. if there's any, it's his baby girl and marine status. maybe he should just have piggy backed his adorable baby girl and sing some corny tune that marines march to. AND dance to it (think "uptight"). HAHAHAHAhahahaha!!!!!............... hahaha.... *choke* ok ok , retribution for being mean. quit it... why do the fans like to blame to background vocals? sometimes they ought to thank them... these are what cover their flaws... either the bg vocals are loud enough to cover the contestants's voice, or the bg vocals are so bad you divert all the attention to them and forget to take notice that the contestant has already gone all off key. OR the fans can blame the bg vocals for disharmonious sound effects. so it's not entirely a bad thing. people shouldn't be requesting turning off those. hehe. well but i shouldn't be saying too much first, not too nice, don't want to eat my words later on... =p gotta wait another 3 days... posted by Yee 6:10 PM . . .
