Prolly a little too dancy (and mainstream) compared to my "normal taste," but it kinda helps during my commute to-and-from work, which can be unbearable, sometimes. Besides, I still got a few regular obscure items that I used to oh-love-so-much (Paper Route anyone? Or.. fine, any of those Sigur Ros'??)

BTW, what's with Britney? Oh it's gonna be a whole another post in itself.. *wink*

You know that feeling when your nose is full of that gooey stuff that sometimes takes you a few inhales to get it completely down your throat? *eew!!*

Yeah, yeah. I know, it's not attractive but hey, at least I'm not the kind that makes noise by blowing my nose every 5 minutes.

I mean, really. Dry the f*ck up already. It's been over a week, almost 2 weeks. I've been emptying two bottle of cough syrups and countless tylenols for the past 2 weeks.

Well at least I don't have cough. I mean, "the cough," if you know what I mean. It's interesting how this particular phase of stuffy nose started. It usually starts with sore throat, and then cough, really painful dry cough. And THEN the runny nose followed by the stuffy nose. But this time, after the sore throat, I didn't get cough, at all. My sore throat got healed completely, and then I got this minor cough (which I can definitely handle). It's just the stuffy nose that kinda kills me.

*Snif*

And you're reading this all up to this sentence? That's sad..

Alright, my 3rd post tonight. Still Idol related. This guy, Jason Castro. I kinda like him. He's cool, natural, he doesn't sing like Clay Aiken (or any other Idol contestants in the past). He plays instruments. And yes, it doesn't hurt that he's also rather easy on the eyes..

I just found his AWESOME rendition of Gnarls Barkley's "Crazy" on YouTube. And it's totally AWESOME with capital A W E S O M and E! I hope he gets the chance to show this off on Idol:



And while reading the comments on this video, I found yet another awesome cover on this song, by this guy called Ray Lamontagne. He actually did quite a lot of cover of other songs. Check this out:



So I guess it's true. A good song is really what makes it or breaks it for any artist who wants to make it through the fame bar. It doesn't matter who sings it, it would still be a great song.

She's so the kind of singer and/or musician that I won't feel ashamed of watching on American Idol.

Love her "Beatiful":



And of course, her latest "You're So Vain":



Love her!

Alright. I can't help but have to, must, ought to, definitely can't not to, post this thing. One of the most heart-breaking and upsetting cut on American Idol (well at least of all that I've witnessed).

This guy, Josiah Leming, he sang (or rather, performed) probably one of my favorite songs of all time, Mika's "Grace Kelly" at the Hollywood audition. And you know what? I effing burst in tears! I mean, really. I approve his interpreting this song and make it as interesting as the original.

Check the video here:



In a way, it was a good thing that he didn't make it on American Idol. Because, honestly, I couldn't see him as an Idol graduate. He's better off being himself with some Indie record label or whatever. In fact, last time I checked his Myspace, he was having some negotiations with some label execs about producing his album. You can however buy his songs directly on his Myspace page though.

I'm just glad that America gets to see him on TV. On American idol, on Ellen, and on MTV. And here's one of my other favorite performance from him:
