BLAH.

Filed under: dance, real-life — Liza @ 8:54 pm

Y’know, I think my karma with M F A is horrible. Today’s 2nd interview was another dud. It had its good moments, but I bombed when they asked about current affairs (though I did admit that I hadn’t been keeping up) and about the nature of the job (apparently there was more info at the site that I didn’t see AT ALL, wtf?!?!). So, yeah. Whatever. No expectations whatsoever. Also, the culture there basically equals to you being a slave, so EEEEEK.

So, it’s back to looking at other options. Le sigh. Note to self: persevere!

I woke up yesterday (at freakin’ 2pm!) to the feel of aches and pains. That hasn’t happened in a while, so it was kinda strange. And the reason for the aches and pains: dance. Yeah, so much for taking a break from dance! Haha. I went for dance on Wednesday and both classes too, so I was pretty much dead by the end of the evening. It was nice to get back into it; I’m such an addict, I can’t seem to stay away! Heh.

The VM S3 premiere episode leaked, and since I had no willpower, I watched it. Hmmm. I’m gonna save my review, if I’m not too lazy to actually do it, for when the actual episode airs and there’ll be a good quality ep available. I will say this though: I love Dick. And Logan, but then I always love Logan. :) (My woobie forever!)

WHY IS IT THAT EVERY OTHER PERSON I KNOW HAS MET T.AUFIK?!?!?! Whyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyy. The horrid thing is that now that I have a crush on him, if I do meet him, I’ll probably be an idiot. And with my (bad) karma, I’ll probably be caught in an unglam moment. Aaaah, nice. And mucho thanks to Jamie who uploaded his album for me. Yaaaaay! Listening to it now, and I must say that I prefer him live. (Can’t wait for his new album, actually. Hehe.) “One Last” is still my fave song. Le sigh.

Oh, and I am sad that my short stint as a gym bunny is over. My 3 months end in about 2 weeks, and given that it’s fasting month and I don’t want to kill myself, I doubt I’ll be going to the gym. Booohooo. No more cute VJ sightings for me.

Pigs? Flying!

Filed under: i am a fangirl — Liza @ 3:22 am

Okay, friends, the obsession has grown. Yiiiiiiikes.

I, not very wisely, decided that the best thing to do would be to OD on T.aufik and then get bored and move on. (I have a freakin’ folder now. Eeeek!) Meep, wrong decision. Instead, I’m freakin’ falling in love with him his voice. The more I hear him sing, the more love I have. He sang “I Believe I Can Fly” at an event, and he sounded like… sigh. Very very nice. And I really like “First” too. And that song of his that I heard on the radio is actually “Back Up Against The Wall”, and it’s caaatchy.

Tonight’s perf at the S.I.2 finale was a little blaaah, but I blame the insipid song. (Okay, just listened to the mp3, and it sounds better on mp3. Still don’t really like the song.) He did, however, sound oodles better than the other two on “I.Dream”. (Incidentally, the new coronation song is the blandest bland that ever blanded. It makes “I.Dream” sound like an award-winning song.) He did look nice in the white suit; the hair, I’m not quite fond of cos I much prefer his hair in the 7-11 ads. Okay, I scare myself with how I have a hair preference. WTH?!?! I’m the girl who used to MOCK those ads! Waaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaah.

While watching the show:
Me: Taaaufik!
Bro: [gives weird look]
Me: What?
Bro: I thought you didn’t like him.
Me: I changed my mind.

Ahahahaha.

Bottom-line: I really really love his voice. He sounds consistently good in all the stuff I’ve seen/heard. And he comes across as v. charming in his interviews. He carries himself well. I was bored enough to look thru the gallery at his fansite, and daaaamn boy knows how to dress! Layers, hoodies, hoodie + blazer (which we all know I think is a majorly hot outfit choice, heh), polo tees, nice shirts. Sharp yo, v. sharp. (Plus, y’know, he is tall. Ahahahaha.)

And and and, I even think that he’s esp. cute when he’s speaking Malay. *hides face*

Oh yeah, you might wanna look out your window ‘cos pigs are flying: Liza is attracted to a Malay guy. Liza would date this Malay guy.

(HEEEEELP!)

P/S: I still think H.ady is bland, but since he did outsing J.on (in my opinion), it was good that he won.

ETA: HOLY CRAPPOLA, I AM DEAD. I think I’m beyond any kind of help. There’s a clip of T.aufik dancing. Not just dancing but dancing to Jup’s LILY. And it’s the original choreography too. Now, he ain’t no Jup… but HOTDAMN, he’s pretty good. Guhhhhhh. (Hahaha, and this means that he’s enough of a Jup fan to watch performances to gack the dance moves?) [Go here: http://www.taufikbatisah.net/media_videoprivate2.html and check dl the “T.aufik dances” clip about halfway down the page.]

Maybe I should just embrace the T.aufik-love. Right… why fight it?

Reflections

Filed under: real-life, boy-talk — Liza @ 12:52 am

One bad thing about having way too much time on my hands is that I think more. So, okay, there’s nothing wrong with reflection and introspection; in fact, it’s good. Except when you’re thinking about things that are better left in the dusty cobwebs of your mind.

Like, for instance, Tokyo and a certain boy. Times like these, I think that memory eraser thingajig from Men In Black would come in really handy. One click and those pesky memories are gone forever and you can go on like it never happened. Of course, then you forget the good and the bad… so you end up missing the good times too, and I don’t know if that’s worth it.

ANYWAY. No, I’m not gonna go maudlin on everyone. All that drama is so 2 months ago. Ahahahahaha. However, he did just email me 2 photos of us together. (I still think we’re cute together. LOL. But, whatever.) Just wanted to say that even though I know that I shouldn’t think about it all, some of it still makes me smile. So, yeah. :) I guess I’ll take the good with the bad. Guess it’s a package deal. Heh.

(I want a boyfriend. Waaaaaaaaaaah.)

Moving along…

The sucky interview? Apparently wasn’t that bad, cos I got a call for a 2nd interview. GO FIGURE. But it’s good, I guess. Hopefully this one will be much better than the previous. I’m still not sure if I wanna sell my soul, but I suppose it’s a bit premature to be thinking about that. We’ll just see how it goes.

Speaking of 2nd interviews, I got one with a recruitment/HR firm for the position of recruitment consultant. Interviews went well, and the job sounds quite interesting. Basic pay is, well, basic, but add your commission to that, and it’s not too bad. The thing is that the manager (whom I talked to for the 2nd interview) was quite straight with me and told me that the job requires someone to be emotionally and mentally strong to deal with difficult situations, difficult people and the stress to deal with sales targets and such. So, now I have to really think if I can deal with such an environment (and not just deal with it, but do well in it). I think I can, but I dunno if that’s just my (over) confidence speaking. And, of course, I need to ask myself if I want to do it.

I was asked “What do your friends think of you?”, which stopped me in my tracks for a bit. My initial thought was, “How would I know?!?”. Hahahah. If anyone wants to tell me (good, bad, whatever), go right ahead. I’m interested to know, actually. The manager lady also said that she sees that I’m outgoing person full of energy, which amused me. That comment also made me think that I’m probably more outgoing than I think myself to be. I mean, I’ve always classified myself as an introvert and in many ways I am. But I have the propensity to be outgoing and can ‘fake’ extrovertedness. Like, in Carolina, when I went out of my way to be more social than I usually am. Heh. So, I dunno… I’m an extroverted introvert?

It’s interesting to have to ponder about oneself and one’s abilities (or lack thereof). And to have to project the best version of you to other people. I feel like a bit of a sham, but I guess that’s just the way it is. Thank goodness my BS skills are pretty high. Ahahahahah. Fake it til you make it, baby. ;)

Temporary insanity

Filed under: i am a fangirl — Liza @ 1:23 am

I think something strange has happened to me during my hermit-like existence of the past 2 weeks. That, or Hani’s affliction (aka mat-love) has somehow insidiuously spread to me. Why, you ask?

I think T.aufik B.atisah is hot.

*hides face*

Okay okay, before you go all OMG!, let me explain myself. I wasn’t here during S.I.1 so I totally missed out. (How sad I was about that. /sarcasm) When I came back (from Carolina) and everyone was abuzz about S.I.1, I was like “WTF? Whatever.” and didn’t see the big deal. Pfffft. Then it was earlier this year, I think, when I was watching some Malay variety show and T.aufik was performing. And suddenly, it was “Oh, he’s not that bad actually.” I also remember one time quite recently when I was in Jen’s car (if I’m not wrong) and a nice song came on and it turned out to be his song.

Now, with all the S.I.2 buzz (I still don’t care, honestly… only watched 1 episode, which sadly happened to be the one when “Geek In The Pink” was massacred. Suffice to say, I was scarred for life.), out of boredom, I youtubed and watched some of the performances. I confess that H.ady is not too bad but he’s not that fantastic a singer or performer. (My metaphorical vote, cos I’m not paying 60 bloody cents per call to actually vote, goes to Jon. H.ady cannot and shouldn’t win because T.aufik already won and the latter is much better than him- all he’ll get are unfavourable comparisons. Plus H.ady is kinda bland.) So that made me wonder what T.aufik’s performances were like. So, I youtubed him.

Youtube? Is the Devil’s tool. (As Cal so rightly put it.)

I watched a couple of the vids, and really he’s good.

I love him singing “Ain’t No Sunshine” (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=7NtK-Ro6cCo). I like his new song (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=VpUDRMMnYHU). It doesn’t sound lame like some locally-produced songs do. His “September” is pretty cool although the rapping makes me laugh (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=j3YcS_3uzTU).

I dunno, but I think he has a very nice tone to his voice. There was also a performance where he danced a little, and he wasn’t too bad. Heh. And he dresses well! And speaks well! But I guess what really won me over is that boy has style. He almost makes me forget that he’s a mat. LOL. So, now I want to hear his album. ‘Cept that I only found like 1 song online. Boooo! Must. Hear. More.

Sure, he can’t act and always seems to be wearing (too much) make-up (seriously dude, just say no to the make-up artist!). But good voice + quite well-spoken + well-dressed + style + can kinda dance= hot. And I guess his passion for what he does adds to the Hottness factor. (Because yes, being passionate about something is attractive.)

Shameful confession: I would so date him.

*facepalm*

OMG, what is wrong with me? Aaaaah. But I suppose that if I were to date a mat, at least I should have standards, right? Ahahahaha. Hopefully this affliction will pass.

In less alarming news, dancer!Ivan + My Love = OMG!SQUEEEEEEEEEEEEE!

Watch. Now. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=z1Zr4erjlS4

Daaaamn, if he was dancing right smack in front of me like that, I would squee like a crazy person. Hee.

P+P

Filed under: movies, books — Liza @ 7:54 pm

I have unholy love for Pride & Prejudice. It’s most possibly the romance novel to end all romance novels. Heh.
In JC, when we read the book for Literature, we watched the BBC miniseries where a bunch of us proceeded to fall in love with Colin Firth’s Mr Darcy. I already loved Darcy from the book, but Colin Firth was just absolutely perfect in the role and the whole miniseries is completely wonderful. (If you haven’t seen, you’re missing out.)

I watched the Kiera Knightley P+P movie, finally, and I had to remind myself not to compare it to the miniseries. With that in mind, I found myself enjoying the movie. I didn’t totally hate it, and it had its good moments. Kiera Knightley was quite good and I thought she handled the witty dialogue well. On a shallow note, I totally hated her hair. And she did look frightfully skinny. Matthew Macfayden, while he is no Colin Firth, wasn’t too bad either. I liked his Mr Darcy; I thought he conveyed his reluctance to like Lizzie quite well… there was a mix of confusion, longing and quiet frustration about him.

But, I was upset that they changed his dialogue during the proposal! I mean, that’s classic- you can’t change that! I can even still remember it: “In vain have I struggled, it will not do. My feelings will not be repressed. You must allow me to tell you how ardently I admire and love you.” (Yes, I actually really love that whole scene in the book- so fabulous!) I remember loving that scene in the miniseries too. (Le sighhhhh.)

Given that the movie’s only 2 hours, it’s an adequate adaptation of the book. Nothing can quite compare to the miniseries, in my eyes, but the movie was alright.

Maybe I just love Elizabeth and Darcy and their love story. (Esp. Darcy. Heehee!)

September 19, 2006

Even when I’m not dancing, I’m thinking about it.

Filed under: dance, movies — Liza @ 6:32 pm

I went from wannabe-dancer and gym bunny to lazy-ass couch potato in about a week with no problems. Ahahahaha. Been mostly at home. Reading. Online. Downloading stuff. Sometimes engrossed in job-searches (I have spurts of productivity). Sometimes cleaning my room. Slackerdom is slowly losing its appeal; I think I’ll be quite excited when I finally get a job and have something to do with my life instead of just sitting around, waiting for something to happen.

I saw the new Janet Jackson video and I am OBSESSED. With the song (can’t stop listening to it), with the awesomeness of the choreography (Gil, you are TEH SHIT!), with her talented dancers (I want to be able to dance like that!). Seriously, her dancers are so good (as usual). And Blake is one of them! I love watching him dance, cos he exudes such attitude. Sexy! Sure, his lyrical on SYTYCD was amazing but I like him best doing hip-hop. So, it’s great that he’s dancing for Janet. And daaaamn, Janet is baaaack. I can’t wait for her album and to see more videos/dancing from her. Gil is a freakin’ genius yo.

I also saw some clips frm the SYTYCD tour. They’re doing mostly the routines from the show… but hey, it’s always nice to see the Sexy Love and Why ones again. Hehe. So much love! And the Sexy Back routine now includes all 10 of them. Haaaa. Travis still owns it though. That walk is fierce. Heck, his whole attitude in that dance is fierce.

Speaking of that, Ivan on Ellen is the most adorable thing. His two solos were so good. I esp. love the 2nd one, cos it really shows how good his musicality is. Guh. And how great is it that he wants to dance for Jup? It was kinda funny to hear that ‘cos Hani and I had talked about “What if Jup brings his tour here and Ivan is one of his dancers?!?” and how we would be Ivan fangirls and be watching Ivan instead of Jup. Meanwhile, Cal was looking at us incredulously. Ahahahah. Anyway, yes Ivan wants to dance for Jup; hopefully it’ll happen sometime in the future because that would be v. v. awesome. I am however sad that he shaved off his hair again cos it looked perfect on Ellen… and with a shaved head, he looks younger than ever. Heh.

And out of boredom today. I finally watched Dirty Dancing: Havana Nights. I had heard that it was bad, but it’s not that bad. Maybe cos I’m a sucker for dance-related movies. Hahaha. But really, I have two words: Diego Luna. Holy crap, he is hotttttt. There’s something v. charming about him. And the dancing! Apparently he’s not a trained dancer or anything, but daaaaamn boy can move. All the dancing in the Cuban club is hottt (esp. when they dance at the end of the movie), and I love the competition routine too (and the kiss in the middle of it!). Where oh where can I find a guy I can dance with like that? Heh. This movie and also Take The Lead really make me wanna learn ballroom. Someday soon, someday soon. (Oh oh, and I just love all the dresses that the female lead, Katie wore. So pretty! I waaaaant.)

September 13, 2006

Interview? SUCKED ASS.

Filed under: real-life — Liza @ 8:15 pm

Wow, the interview I had today? SUCKED DONKEY’S ASS. I think I crashed and burned. I was just talking out of my ass like almost the entire time, and it was just… bad. Yiiiiiikes. Horrid horrid horrid. The whole thing was pretty bad. I mean, I had to wait nearly 2 hours for my turn cos they were running very late. I was scheduled for 3.45, but I only went in at 5.25. So, the hour-plus spent in the waiting room just about killed my brain cells- death by boredom and dreary elevator music. And then the interview itself was just…. *hides face*. I walked out of there feeling like they didn’t buy any of the crap I was feeding them and that the BS I spun about Sino-Singapore relations was just alllll waaaay off-base. Okay, in reality, it probably wasn’t that bad (I’m sure some of my BS is true); but I definitely didn’t have a good feeling when I left. Oyyyyyy.

Oh well. *wipes imaginary dust off shoulder* There goes that. I’ll be very surprised if I get a callback. (Unless the other interviewees crashed and burned worse than I did? Hahahah.) Maybe I’m not meant to sell my soul away. (Heh.)
And so, the job search continues…

(I miss dance!)

So you think you can dance? (I’m not too bad. Heh.)

Filed under: dance — Liza @ 1:33 am

Hours and hours of learning and perfecting choreography, thousands of small movement details to remember and a bazillion photos later, it’s all over. The three nights of performance went by really really quickly; I almost can’t believe it’s over. It’s strange because dance was basically my life for the past 2 months, and now I find myself with absolutely nothing to do. (Yeah, nothing to do but think about where I want my life to go!)

Opening night went well. We danced hard, gave it our all. The crowd was a little quiet, so the energy wasn’t as good as it could have been. But otherwise, it was a great start. The 2nd night was awesome! The crowd was into it and gave us good energy and that upped our performance. That’s my favourite night out of the three. And our last night was pretty good too. Apparently there were a lot of dancers in the audience and they too were responsive, so it was a fun crowd to perform for.

Everyone I invited to the show really liked it, for which I’m glad of course. Thank you to those who came. Much love to Suraiya and Mardiana for the roses and sunflower and to my JC friends for the chocolate! (The chocolate from Chocz was fuckin’ orgasmic!) And to Hani for being vocally supportive, heh. I really appreciate it! Mixed response with regards to the “raunchiness” of the show. LOL. My mom was like, it wasn’t that bad. Heh. Got some lovely compliments, which is always nice. (Though a compliment on my dancing earns more points than a compliment on how good I look; compliment both and you WIN, ahahahha.) I’m just happy that the shows went well.

Cam-whored a lot, as usual during dance events. Haha. Memories are always nice. Some stupid pics, some funny ones, some ‘normal’ ones. Heh. After our last show, a big bunch of us went to have a late aftershow dinner at McD’s, where there was much laughter and gossip. Some of the boys spoofed the concert, which was the funniest shit ever. And then we watched the video of Sunday’s show which had us transfixed to the laptop screen for like an hour.

The only frame of reference I’ve had are the videos from rehearsals… and those aren’t too great. So, I was nervous about seeing the video because I’m hyper-critical of myself. I was very happily surprised to see how well everything came together. Costumes, lighting and performance came together and produced a really awesome showcase of dance. I was v. proud not just of myself (because I could watch and not cringe at myself) but of the whole group and how much effort and dedication went into making the show what it was. I feel proud to be able to say, oh yeah I was in Blast. :)

Candy’s item looked really good. I love her choreography, and I think we finally stepped up and really danced it. Calvin’s item was much much better than I expected, honestly. In my opinion, we sucked really badly during rehearsals but somehow it looked good enough at showtime. I was v. relieved and pleasantly surprised; so kudos to everyone in that item for stepping up! Pat’s item was another surprise; not only did it look good, but it didn’t look “too much” to me. Instead of coming off as too sleazy, too raunchy, and just “too much”, it looked… artistic. It gave off a sexy, sensual, seductive vibe rather than in-your-face sleaze. Or at least, that’s what I felt when I saw the video. The lighting was just fabulous and really brought out the best of the choreography. I’ve always thought Pat was a genius, and I stand by that. Heh.

As a whole, it looked like an awesome, awesome show. When you see the dances repeatedly at rehearsals for over a month, you tend to get bored and jaded about it. But seeing the whole show with costumes, lights, props, performance and an audience to play to is a huge difference from seeing it in rehearsals.

On a personal level, I didn’t have to cringe and cover my eyes as I watched myself dance! Hurrah! Hehehehe. With just one watch, I was quite satisfied and pleased with my performances… so, for that, I’m really happy. Of course, that will probably change when I get hold of the videos and can watch them on repeat and scrutinize myself and break down all the tiniest mistakes I did. Ahahahaha. But for now, I’ll be in my happy place where I’m as satisfied as I can be about my dancing. :) I’m not too bad.

So, thus endeth my time with Blast. Four really great years, meeting a fun bunch of people, laughing over the stupidest things, stressing over performances, dancing our hearts out and learning more about dance and ourselves in the process. I will miss it a lot. “” I always did love dance, but it was only with Blast that I finally took the chance to try it. It was a move that paid off in so many ways.

To Pat: thank you for teaching me so much, for pushing us to be better dancers, for all the times you yelled at me in class to dance harder, for the awesome choreography I’ve been privileged to perform in the past 4 years; thank you for letting me through the auditions, for seeing that potential; and thank you for picking me to be in DR05 because that made me feel like I was “good enough”. (Well, I hope it was because I was good enough, hahahah.) To the friends I’ve made: thank you for your friendship; for making Blast more than just weekly dance classes; for making the many hours of practice seem like fun; for all the lame jokes and hours and hours of laughter; for your encouragement; for the great memories. I love you guys! :) [Not that they’ll read this, but I thought I’d just put it out there into the universe. Hopefully, they’ll feel the love. Heh.]

I’ll keep dancing, in some way. Can’t stop now. But it’ll be different.

So… now, it’s time for me to really get serious about my life. No more distractions. No more dance practices every other day. No more ignoring it. I’ve been in a bit a hibernation mode in the past 2 days; nothing major, but I just wanted to be alone. I’ve been cooped up in my room with my books, laying on my bed and just letting my brain shut down for a bit. It’s kinda nice to not have to run around every day. :)

September 8, 2006

Showtime!

Filed under: dance — Liza @ 12:26 pm

Finally, opening night has arrived! Woot woot! The past few days has been a frenzy of rehearsals, last-minute freaking out and long hours at the cold cold theatre. The show has come together wonderfully and I think it’s gonna be really awesome.

Some of y’all are coming to watch; so thanks, and I hope you really enjoy the show!

Shut up and dance, baby! Just shut up and DANCE.

Go shorty, it’s your birthday!

Filed under: real-life, J.D. Fortune — Liza @ 2:34 am

Thank you my lovelies for the birthday wishes. :) *hugs*

Birthday was pretty normal. I had 2 job interviews and then rehearsal for the fashion show. Haaaaa. In between, I treated myself to a grande mocha (it has been a long time since I’ve had Starbucks, haha) and made a list of things I wanna do in the next year. (It’s a long-ass, ambitious list, lemme tell you.) So unbirthday-like. But it’s all right. Like I said, I don’t feel like partying. Some friends text-ed me and I also did get some birthday messages on facebook and myspace, which made me smile. John dropped a short message and mentioned that Tokyo with me is a cherished memory. Awwwww. (I should just accept the fact that, for some reason, he will always have a special place in my heart. Accept, and move on.) Celebrating with the posse tomorrow night and probably with the family on Sunday. So, all in all, birthday was not too bad at all. Much love to everyone who remembered and took the time to wish me a happy birthday. I love my friends. :)

Now that my birthday is technically over, it’s actually my future husband’s JD’s birthday! Hehehehe. In honour of his birthday (and mine too, since rewatching these made my fangirl heart happy, heh), here are linkies to some of his awesome performances from the show last year. These are my favourites. If you don’t understand the JD-love, give these a try. Hehehehe.

California Dreamin’ (Encore) - JD won the first encore! Heh. I love how scared he looked when they called his name. I kinda watched this perf on tv and I remember ogling his biceps. Hurhur.

Hand In My Pocket - When he performed this, it was my first full performance show and this made me sit up and take notice. Not only does the arrangement kick ass, boyfriend looks fucking hot, sounds damn good and commands the freakin’ audience. Oh yeah, boy has talent. And when I hear this on JD!pod, I always take a 2nd, 3rd, 4th listen.

The Letter - Holy Hottness! Thre’s hip-swivelling, unbuttoned shirt and JD getting all manic at the end. Hell, I wanna write him a letter after this performance. Heh. Yes, I did pay to see him do that for 2 hours. Well worth every cent.
Crazy - When I first saw this, I was all distraught: “Noooooo, why did he cut the pretty hair?!?!”. But I love his intensity and the ad-libbing at the end.

Cold As Ice - Hahahah, JD’s BlueSteele look always makes me giggle. But he really sells the song. The arrangement works really well. Again, with the intensity. And the hotness. OH, and the voice, of course. :)

Suspicious Minds - Despite all the flak he got for it, I really like this performance. Esp. the bridge (and the “no, not much”, complete with hand gesture. Heh!). And the part near the end when it picks up and gets funky for a bit.

Come As You Are/Pretty Vegas - Oh man, I remember that he freakin’ blew my effing mind away when I first saw it. So bloody good. CAYA is amazing, and I love the buildup. JD goes crazy, the crowd goes crazy, and it’s just WOAH. Then the seque into PV, with the banter and all. Then PV just kicks all kinds of ass, and then the megaphone. Then then…. GUH. Intense yo. Perfect, perfect set. This is when I started praying that they would pick him, and even if that hadn’t happened, I was officially Batshit Crazy after this. This was when, in my opinion, he won it all.

Pretty Vegas (Encore) - I love how psyched he is to win the encore! And vocally, this is my favourite PV from the show. I love the guitar-work here too, it’s v. funky. Plus, boy looks hot in that jacket.

Mystify - The encore and Bottom 3 on the same night! But JD sounds amazing on this song. Love the finger-snapping. Heh.

Pretty Vegas (with Dave Navarro) - For the great guitar riffs, the sparkly megaphone, and the love JD shows Dave. Heehee.

Money - The cute banter! The asshat! The “Better than Pretty” t-shirt! The “slice of my pie” hand slide! JD kicking ass on the song and convincing the band (and everyone else) that he is the roit one. P/S: JD advises us, “Spend it wisely, baby!”

Pretty Vegas (Encore - Acoustic) - This is the version of PV I listen to the most. He sounds really good. Like buttah, baby.

By My Side - Because, like me, JD is a marshmallow.

You Can’t Always Get What You Want - But you get what you need! Love the acoustic opening. JD looks sharp in his suit. I like how relaxed he is throughout the performance.
What You Need - Where JD proves that he is the only one roit for our band, INXS.

And the nail-biting moment where INXS makes JD’s dream come true. Awwwww. Poor baby was so nervous. Heck, I was nervous for him. But they chose him! All is right in INXS-world again! Yay!

Conclusion: He is fuckin’ hot and fuckin’ talented, and I love him. (Which is why he is my future husband, obviously. Haha.)

Okay, you know that I have to end with this (why, YES, I will post this every so often. Muahahahahah!):

Happy birthday indeed. Heheheheh. :P That was all the gift I wanted. Heck, this entire year has been one big gift with many different parts to it. *grin*
