OMG WTF

was browsing through my old posts, when i found this post dated June 17th, 2006.

as in, THIS POST.

you know what's so shocking?? DO YOU KNOW?? about two years ago, i weighed only FORTY THREE KGS. and, AND at that time, i was at my HEAVIEST. WTF?!

means prior to that i was only about 40kgs la.

MEANS NOW I'M ABOUT 10 KGS HEAVIER ZOMG.

ok i'm gonna swear off eating. FAREWELL, GOOD PEOPLE.

light up, light up

it looks like i now only post up music videos doesn't it -_- i should really make a video tag for my blog posts.

so if you read my previous post, you'd know i don't usually approve of covers. of course there are exceptions, credit should be given where it's due, and if it's a good cover then it's a good cover la. general rule of thumb, the cover should be at least as good as the original, if not better. what's the point of covering a song and coming off sounding worse, right?

anyway, leona lewis punya new single is out, it's a cover of "run" by snow patrol. the first time i heard/knew of leona lewis, was when i listened to her version of run, the one she sang live at some radio station. i didn't know who she was, and was half-expecting a sorry version of run (yeah i was all defensive mode cos it's my favourite song mah). but leona lewis did a very good job covering the song. personally, i like the live version more than the recorded one.

live at x-factor.
it's damn awesome when a singer can sing live so amazingly.
*rolls eyes the many tweensy singers out there*


official music video here. she's so pretty =)

even if you don't exactly favour powderful diva voices, you can't deny that she's an amazing singer. unfortunately most of her songs are a waste of her voice. well at least run does it justice, as it does the song. plus, leona seems so likeable =)

i like both the original and her cover, cos they're good in different ways. having said that, the original is placed so high that it's kinda impossible to top that (plus they wrote the song!). yay rondaan salji! so let's not forget about snow patrol =)

embedding disabled, so just click here. click, jangan tak click! *cough*

mediocre bubblegum pop

THIS is why i seriously cannot stand most covers, and some of the music nowadays. tell me, WHY would this kind of sucky music sell? behold hilary duff's reach out. got token RAP some more, with gems of lyrics such as "cos you're a superstar, get in my supercar".

right.

wth, macam promoting her song.



i know, i know - what's it with disney girls slutty-ing up for the camera. especially when hilary duff seemed like one of the smarter ones who's really decent. but what really gets to me is how she butchered one of my favourite songs. why la why. why do some people nowadays like this kind of music, where the singer can't even sing properly. huh? tell me whyyyy~ *sorry bsb moment, cough*

fine, one listener's music is another's noise pollution.

anyway. the original song's by depeche mode - personal Jesus.







and yes there's a rather popular cover by marilyn manson. that one's decent enough. malas to embed, if you're remotely interested go cari yourself la. basically more stress on the beats. and faster beats. and slightly more growly gruff voice. oh and speaking of depeche mode covers, one pretty damn good one is lacuna coil's cover of enjoy the silence. ok yes i know this post very the self-indulgent *cough*
