My Weapon of Choice

Ok I meant to post this last week. Sekarang semuanya sudah terlambat. Kesian.. Alex Lambert and Lily Scott dah terkeluar. Alex tu nangis sampai hidung merah.

The top 24 American Idol has been announced and since then 8 had been sent home. To my dismay, the first 2 weeks saw all of my favorites gulung tikar. Gasp! Ashley Rodriguez whom I thot had everything to become the next Alicia Keys and fellow Hispanic Joe Munoz who sang You and I Both was booted out. Where's the Chicanos Vote? And worst of all.... Tyler Grady also did not made the cut. His rendition of the Marvin Gaye's Let's Get It On.... adooiii cair. But then I suppose he blew it all away with American Woman. He's no Lenny Kravitz, for sure. Sighhhhhh. And last week, Hailey - the 16 year African Amercian, who would like to sing country was also kicked out. Hahahha I thot she's fuuny and weird, but in a good way.

...and then, there's Lily Scott. I thot her version of Change is Gonna Come is superb. She's really crazy, funky whatever you will and can come up with anything.

And as I mentioned before I lobes Alex Lambert. Can he be anymore shy? Kesian. But he has great tone. And he got my vote when he choose John Legend - Everybody Knows. Great song, great performance. And of course Trouble by Ray Lamontagne (though he can't really carry it I must say... should done better maybe with a number from Maroon 5)


I suppose Crystal Bowersox is in it for the win and yes, I think she is cool and has great talent... tapi lately ni she looks very sickly. Too sickly in fact. Or is it this is just the producer's ploy saje make up dia pucat-pucat, to make the show more interesting? I just hope she doesn't dropped dead in the middle of the season and let Tim Urban win. Gasp lagi!


So who else? Now that my favorites are no longer in the competition, who shall I root for? I'm pleasantly surprised that this guy gets better every week.

This guy got my vote just by wearing this cool t-shirt. And when he opens his mouth, I'm blown, blown, blown away! He's indeed my weapon of choice :) I hope he will sing Kings of Leon - Use Somebody one of these weeks.



Oh well, here's to Alex... may he will be a star one day...cause everybody knows that nobody really knows...


Everybody Knows - John Legend

It gets harder every day, but I can’t seem to shake the pain
I’m trying to find the words to say, please stay
It’s written all over my face, I can’t
Function the same when you’re not here
I’m calling your name but no one’s there
And I hope one day you’ll see nobody has it easy,
I still can’t believe you found somebody new
But I wish you the best, I guess.
‘Cause everybody knows, that nobody really knows
How to make it work, or how to ease the hurt
We’ve heard it all before, that everybody knows
Just how to make it right, I wish we gave it one more try
One more try
One more try
'Cause everybody knows, but nobody really knows

I don’t care what the people say
They brought it all in anyway
Baby don’t fill up your head with he-said, she-said
It seems like you just don’t know
The radio’s on, you're tuning me out,
I’m trying to speak, you’re turning me down

And I hope one day you’ll see nobody has it easy,
I still can’t believe you found somebody new
But I wish you the best, I guess.
‘Cause everybody knows, that nobody really knows
How to make it work, or how to ease the hurt
We’ve heard it all before, that everybody knows
Just how to make it right, I wish we gave it one more try
One more try
One more try
One more try
‘Cause everybody knows, but nobody really knows

Oh I wish you’d understand
Oh, just an ordinary man
Wish that we had known
Everybody knows, but nobody really knows
And I know one day you’ll see, nobody has it easy
I still can’t believe you found somebody new
I wish you the best, I guess.

‘Cause everybody knows, that nobody really knows
How to make it work, or how to ease the hurt
We’ve heard it all before, that everybody knows
Just how to make it right, I wish we gave it one more try
One more try
One more try
One more try
‘Cause everybody knows, but nobody really knows
