James Morrison - Please Don't Stop The Rain.

I'm sorry for being a such a lazy.... person (that's a lie, you know I'm not sorry), I was about to say something else but there are children here. The review for Lady Gaga's concert is coming up soon, once I get all the blurry ass pictures somewhat sorted out.

Well, excuse me for not bringing a better camera. It's not my fault I had a little tiff the night before I left with my Dad which then resulted in me not being able to borrow his camera.

But here's a little teaser. This was the picture they used to tease US for a good half an hour after the over-extensive opening act. And lemme tell you this. BEING TEASED IS NOT FUN. NO. IT IS NOT. IT IS ANNOYING AND GUHHHH. NO. NOT FUN.
I'm facepalming myself just thinking about the agony they put us through for two hours.

It's safe to say that my feet hurt like a total bitch after the show and for the next two days following the gig, but it was totally worth the experience because Lady Gaga is amazing live. To the haters who say that she can't sing live, I think that she's proven all of you wrong. Her voice is extremely powerful in real life and her stage presence is astounding. She's also really funny and I love that she didn't tone ANYTHING down. I would also like to add that she is absolutely gorgeous in real life.

I leave you with a quote! Or two!

"You guys don't need me! You already know all the words. I'm just another blonde bitch in bubbles."

"Thank you, Singapore! I love you! Chilli crab!"

That's probably enough stuff for people to contemplate over. Don't get your panties in a twist, benches. The review's coming.

I would also like to add that James Morrison and Michael Johns' albums are A+. Something tells me that the jump from Lady Gaga to stuff by James Morrison proves that my taste in music is somewhat twisted. :\

And while I'm at it, since it was my first trip to Singapore, let me just say this:

I LOVE SINGAPORE.

Someone take me back! It's so clean! The people are so nice! The sky was so blue! None of that hazed up shit we have back here. There were so many pedestrians! I love the fact that the main form of getting around was to walk! It was like London all over again when I walked from Victoria all the way down to London Bridge, except this time, we walked from Takashimaya or whatever the place is called all the way back down along Orchard Road to Jalan Bras Basah! I love that I got a pair of Ipanema's for $20 instead of RM70! I love that I got 2 books for only $20 because those books would be dead expensive back here! Did I mention that it's really clean?! I LOVE THAT IT WAS SO CLEAN. OH GOD. THE CLEANLINESS.

Can we go back? I'd like to go back. FIELD TRIP TO SINGAPORE, PEOPLE. WHO'S IN?

And as for A2, this is the only thing I have to say: Fuck Law.

Lady Gaga - Boys Boys Boys.

"Give me something I wanna be. Retro glamour, Hollywood.
Yes, we live for the fame. Doing it for the fame."

Not many people know this, but I'm kind of a Lady Gaga fangirl. And I have taken that fangirl quality of mine to the next level. I have done the unthinkable. The unbelievable. Something that only psychotic individuals do unfortunately, and I'm dragging Yvonne down along with me:

LADY GAGA LIVE IN SINGAPORE NEXT TUESDAY WEDNESDAY, BENCHES!!!
(APPARENTLY I DON'T KNOW THE DAY OF THE WEEK ANYMORE. LOL. THIS IS MY LIFE.)

Don't look at me like I'm crazy! I'm not! I swear! I SEE YOU THERE, JIA HUEY. ROLLING YOUR EYES. DON'T DO THAT. IT'S RUDE.

Anyway. In my personal opinion, despite all of her eccentricities, Lady Gaga is pretty much a musical prodigy to an extent. The Fame is one of the most well crafted pop albums of today that I have had the liberty to listen to and her acoustic interpretations of "Poker Face" and "Paparazzi" on the piano are really good.

I've never been one to listen to electro-dance-pop on such a usual basis, but The Fame has been one of my most listened to albums over the past few months. Most of the songs on the album have an catchy beat or a hook that stays in your head for the majority of the week. Her lyrics offer a different perspective of the underground and entertainment scene and it's fact that her writings revolve around said lifestyle that makes me love her music so much. It's like a mini-documentary of the underground scene.

Her music videos are works of total art. And I'm not a cinematographer or a director, so I am unable to comment further other than the fact that her music videos are just so goddamn pretty despite being somewhat trippy at times. THE VIDEO FOR "PAPARAZZI", MAKES ME FEEL LIKE SOMEONE PUT DRUGS IN MY WEED. IT'S LIKE BEING TRIPPED OUT ON ACID. NOT THAT I'VE EVER BEEN TRIPPED OUT ON ACID, BUT YOU GET MY DRIFT.

She's all that and a bag of chips! So, YES.

LADY GAGA LIVE IN SINGAPORE NEXT TUESDAY WEDNESDAY, BENCHES!!!


THIS IS PRETTY MUCH THE BEST ACOUSTIC VERSION OF "POKERFACE" SHE'S DONE. EVER. OMG SHE MADE IT SOUND LIKE A CLASSICAL PIECE, MADE IT SOUND LIKE SOMETHING OUT OF A JAZZ CLUB OR A CABARET. SHE MADE IT TOTALLY AND COMPLETELY UNIQUE.

IT. IS. PURE. GENIUS.

Need I say anything more?

And now we're back to your regular programming of AI Season 8 'Pershation.

THIS WILL NEVER NOT BE FUNNY.

SRSLY. LOOKIT BB ADAM'S FACE. SO CUTE.
& LOOKIT BB KRIS' FACE. IT LOOKS JUST LIKE CASTRO'S.
LET ME REITERATE WITH THE HELP OF SPARKLE TEXT.

NEVER NOT FUNNY.

AND HERE'S A CONVERSATION SOME LUCKY BENCH HAD WITH KRISTOPHER.

PERSON 1: "HANG ON A SECOND"
KRIS ALLEN: HELLO, JULIA.
JULIA: OMG, SHUT UP.
KRIS: DON'T TELL ME TO SHUT UP.
JULIA: OMG OMG OMG I'M SORRY THAT'S WHAT I SAY WHEN I'M SURPRISED.
KRIS: THAT WASN'T VERY NICE.
JULIA: OMG, I'M SO SORRY. OMG, HOW ARE YOU?
KRIS: GOOD, HOW ARE YOU? WHY AREN'T YOU HERE?
JULIA: BC AARON ONLY GOT HER ONE BACKSTAGE PASS.
KRIS: OOH, THAT AARON (AARON = DRUMMER FOR IDOL TOUR).
JULIA: OMG, *RAMBLES ON ABOUT HOW I REALLY ENJOYED HIS SHOW AND HOW MY CAMERA DIED RIGHT BEFORE HE CAME ON*
KRIS: AHHH, THAT HAPPENS *THANKS ME FOR LOVING THE SHOW*
KRIS: OK, WELL, I'M GOING TO GIVE YOU BACK TO YOUR FRIEND NOW, BUT WE WISH YOU WERE HERE.
JULIA: *DIES INSIDE* THANKS FOR TALKING TO ME, GOOD LUCK ON THE TOUR!
KRIS: THANKS, BYE.
And I can totally see Kristopher saying these out loud.... in my head.... I'm not crazy. It's just too cute imagining him saying it in his slight twinge of a Southern accent.... *sighs*
Oh, be still my beating heart. Kristopher Neil Allen has ruined men for me.

What you are hearing now is the sound of my heart exploding and melting at the same time, into tiny glittery, rhinestone-studded, plaid-wearing hearts. ♥

I would also like to add this:

KRADAM LIVES.
I SWEAR TO GOD, THEY LIVE.
