Some things in your life are mostly likely to change after you’ve watched this.
That’s Bitoy (a.k.a. Michael V) having a good time in his latest Bubble Gang MTV “Bathroom Dance”, a comical rip-off from a famous Lady Gaga original “Bad Romance”. It was hilarious. I still have to meet a person who has not been move to tears laughing at Bitoy’s crazy take on Lady Gaga’s MTV. Right now, its You Tube version already has more than 400,000 hits and growing. If you want to download this in your MP3 players, there’s a program online that can convert this video to an mp3 format. Enjoy.
The soup is gone. I mean, Tim Urban. Now the AI field was left with six talented singers. With Andrew Garcia out, I’m down to my last two bets – Crystal Bowersox and still another Danny Gokey baby, Lee DeWyze. One of them can already wear the Idol crown as early as now.
Of course, Crystal Bowersox is a clear winner given the judges’ consistent praises for her hard work and exceptional talent. But, if I were Crystal, I wouldn’t rest on my laurels yet. Lee DeWyze is a superstar in the making. The guy is said to most likely follow the steps of Daughtry to a record-smashing stardom. People talk about Lee the way one would rave about alli weight loss products. In fact, Kara can already hear Lee’s voice over the radio and the judges seemed to agree. Simon Cowell was so pleased about him he described his last performance as “brilliant”.
Try listening to “Predicament” – Lee’s single from his debut album “So I Was Told” from an independent record company in Chicago called Wuli Records. He actually have two albums recorded under Wuli before he auditioned in American Idol. They’re sold online through Amazon.
Whoever wins between Crystal and Lee, I would still buy both of their records.
The Top 9 performance night of American Idol last week had Lennon-McCartney for a theme. Everyone did a Beatles song and somehow managed to add something to their usual repertoire. What I mean is the bag-piper coming down the staircase during Lee DeWyze’s “Hey Jude”. If Siobhan Magnus is most remembered for her screaming and Adam Lambert-like drama, Lee was able to leave a mark to remember him by. Most people will remember him now for bringing in a bagpiper to the show. Good tactic no matter how ridiculous it was. But who cares?
And of course we know that Big Mike survived the ax that night. The judges ruled to his favor and he was given another week more.
After American Idol came Glee. The last two episodes leading to the sectionals were simply about scandals and revelations. While the plot was pretty predictable (I always knew it’s going to be Emma and Will in the end, and Sue will need eye cream for wrinkles as she would never cease on plotting Shuester’s downfall), the show choir performances were great. Better than High School Musical in a lot of ways.
