Sad Songs and Idol 12

Okay guys maybe I should start this post with some sad songs recommendations:

• Stars by Grace Potter & The Nocturnals
• Here With Me by The Killers
• Undone by Haley Reinhart
• Underneath by Adam Lambert
• Wine After Whiskey by Carrie Underwood
• Volcano by Damien Rice ft. Lisa Hannigan (Phillip Phillips' version is nice too)
• Can't Have You by The Jonas Brothers
• Hold You by Nina Nesbitt
• Out From Under by Joanna Pacitti (covered by Britney Spears)
• What If by Ashley Tisdale

No, no. Don't get me wrong.  I don't want to make you feel depressed or anything. But I just love those songs that can make me feel emotional or cry at some point... I think that means the singer or the songwriter has done a great job in delivering his/her message. Even though maybe I haven't even experienced some stories in those songs, but it's just so awesome when their words are infectious. Well maybe some of them are not even that sad but they're just..... dark. But they are so good so you should check them out or you will regret it!

YOU WILL. REGRET. IT.

Well if I had to choose one song from that list, my current favourite is probably Stars. That song makes me go asdfghjkl every time. It reminds me of many people, it remind me of my pets that have passed away, it reminds me of simply anything that I have lost, it even reminds me of my celebrity crush(es) sometimes, anything really.  I first heard this song probably 3 or 4 months ago, but didn't really hook to it. Until a guy named Nick Boddington did a great job singing this song on Idol and I was like "I know that song!!!". I directly went to Youtube to re-watch his performance.

Here's the performance :)

And then I downloaded the original version, paid attention to the lyrics etc. etc. and I cried in the middle of the night because of it. Lol no this sounds too dramatic. Idk, there's just something in this song that touches my heart. 

Talking about Idol, what's with the guys this season?! No offense, but compared to the last season, they suck. Well maybe some of them like Nick Boddington and Devin Vellez are good. But last season there were just sooo many talents and they are so diverse. I don't know what the heck is wrong with this season. I mean Charlie Askew is just sooo damn overrated and yet Nicki Minaj is treating him like a god. Well, I don't think this is entirely Nicki's fault though cause sometimes she's a great judge and she stands for herself but sometimes she's like so high... sometimes I'm not even sure if she is watching the same thing with me. For girls, well, maybe I'm rooting for Angela Miller. and I think it's just so stupid how they eliminated Shubha Vedula so soon, when she's definitely talented. Like they want a great singer, Shubha is a great singer. And they eliminated her?! So what the heck that they want now? A singer or a whole package artist? I don't get it. And the comment that Nicki gave Shubha was so dang disrespectful. But so far, I think a girl should really win this season.

I just... I miss season 11 when everything was so beautiful and perf. And I always got so excited for Thursdays and get freakin' nervous on Friday mornings waiting for result. THOSE TIMES ARE JUST SO GREAT. :''')

I love each and everyone of them so much asdfghjkl why can't they just reunite and perform on my TV everyday. I guess I can never moved on from season 11.

Or maybe I just can't moved on from my baby a.k.a. the winner of last season :')

But I still love Idol... I just need a new judging panel, soon. SOON. I kinda wanting the old judging panel with Paula, Simon, and Randy. Kara is alright too.

ANYWAY

It's Monday again... And I'm sick of Mondays.

Alright, alright. I have to admit that today was not that bad. I had fun while doing english presentation and me and my best friends were like so high today so we laughed... a lot. We are high every Mondays I guess, don't know why.

"Stars, they make me wonder where you are

Stars, up on heaven's boulevard

And if I know you at all, I know you've gone too far

So I, I can't look at the stars"

TWFTSOTM Review and Updates!

OMG. Look who's back here! ME.

HOW ARE YALL?

I know right. I know right. IT'S BEEN FOREVER. And there are so many stories that I want to tell. I have to say that late December 2012 until early January 2013 was the best time of my life. It's a long story but the point is I got to meet my idol and my inspiration, Adam Lambert. AND IT'S AWESOME, he's awesome. I met Tommy too and he's even waving at me. Things that I thought would be so impossible happened to me.
So, I'm not trying to be a motivator or anything but miracle does happen guys. YOU JUST HAVE TO BELIEVE IT :)

Beside Adam Lambert, it's not a new story that I'm also a HUGE fan of Phillip Phillips. And Kelly Clarkson too (AND I'M SO PROUD SHE GOT A GRAMMY'S! YOU GO GURL!). So I'm forever thankful for American Idol no matter how lame that show might get. It's lame but I love it haha. It's kind of a guilty pleasure, you know.

In this post, I want to make a track-by-track review of Phillip Phillips' album, The World From The Side of The Moon. I know it's kinda late because it's been released for 3 months but I just feel like writing it now. Well don't expect a super objective review cause you know....it's me, a hardcore Phillip's fan from day 1 who is talking. So just expect a little-biased-fan-perspective review, k?

1. Man on The Moon (written by Phillip Phillips)
Man on The Moon is definitely one of my favorite songs from this album. The guitar, the lyrics, the raspy voice combined make it a pure perfection. Well, especially the lyrics because they are just so poetic. I wish I could write a song this way someday. Anyway I (with a little help of Ghina) interpret this song as a guy who watches his ex-girlfriend (maybe) from the side of the moon, just wondering if she's doing okay. And he actually still cares for this girl but he wants to let her be. And I LOVEEE the idea of it. Seriously where did Phillip even get it at the first place?!

2. Home (written by Drew Pearson & Greg Holden)
You know how much I LOVE Home right? Whenever I hear this song, I still clearly remember the moment when Phillip won Idol, crying, running towards his family. TOO. MUCH. FEELS. And this song just certified for 4 million downloads and I'm so damn proud of that. Many people say it's too Mumford and Sons-ish but this song is not even written by him so WHY BLAME?! Anyway, someday when I travel abroad somewhere for college or work, I wish a handsome guy (or even Phillip himself) would personally sing this song for me. I hope it's not too much to ask.

3. Gone, Gone Gone (written by Derek Fuhrmann, Todd Clark, Wattenberg)
So you can see from my recent post, Gone Gone Gone was my favorite from the album. It's probably not anymore now, but I'm still glad that this song is chosen as 2nd single because it is fun, catchy and commercial and people LOVE it. But now I realised that the best songs from this album are the ones that are written by Phillip himself. But I'm still soooo loving the lyrics of this song I think it's the sweetest song ever like seriously you are probably crazy if you read the lyrics of this song and don't get butterflies in your stomach. Anyway if you haven't watched the video of this song, you better check it out!!!


4. Hold On (written by Phillip Phillips)
Hold On is beautiful. It may not so catchy but that's what makes it beautiful. One thing that I noticed from this album is just PP is so damn wise for his age. It is shown especially in this song and Tell Me A Story. The lyrics are so motivating. Not the cheesy kind of motivating but the beautiful one. OKAY WHAT AM I EVEN TALKING ABOUT. Lol it's hard to explain. Anyway I like to listen to this song before I sleep :)

5. Tell Me a Story (written by Phillip Phillips & David Ryan Harris)
Tell Me a Story is one of the most perfectly-written songs ever. The lyrics are hands down, the best from the album. If I had to choose between Hold On and Tell Me A Story, I think I'm gonna go with Tell Me A Story. I listen to it everytime I'm feeling a little blue. I will never get bored of this song, ever.

"Tell you a story and it starts with time
Most on how you lived, and learned how to die
Never fakes in this world that brings death to life
So don't believe in everything you see
Because what you want might not be what you need
Hold your breath jump with me and we'll survive"

6.  Get Up Get Down (written by Phillip Phillips, Wattenberg, Derek Fuhrmann)
Get Up Get Down literally makes me want to get up, get down and move my ass around. It's just so freaking groovy. I fell in love with this song since the first time I heard it. It's freaking sexy too. One of the good choices for 3rd single, I think.

"get up get down let's get lost in this merry go round and round". OH LET'S, PHILLIP.

7. Where We Came From (written by Phillip Phillips & Jon Green)
Where We Came From is the first song that I heard from this album, well after Home. And my opinion about this song stays the same. It's cool, perfectly written but still so groovy. I LOOOVE the "climb the mountain, swim for shore, bring it back to how it was before" part. This is also a good choice for 3rd single.

8. Drive Me (Written by Phillip Phillips & Ben Neil)
So, this song is written by Phillip himself and his brother in law, Ben. I love Ben. I'm forever thankful for him for introducing Phillip to guitar. And the fact that they wrote a song together is just sooo cute. And this song is just the sexiest (or should I say dirtiest?) track from the album. I didn't expect him to write this kind of song but I LOVE IT. I hope he'll make more in his 2nd album HAHA.

"I love your moves, I like your style

With them hips you drive me wild
I'm the puppet to your strings
You keep on moving me
And the world you keep on turning
Turning from me now
Everything we have is moving down down down
We just keep on grooving all down down down"

I WOULD LOVEEEE TO MOVE DOWN DOWN DOWN WITH YOU PHILLIP ARE YOU TRYING TO KILL ME. Oh things that I would do to him.

9. Wanted Is Love (Written by Phillip Phillips)

Honestly, Wanted Is Love is the song that I played the least from the album. I don't know why though, I still think the chorus is beautiful. And the lyrics. :)

10. Can't Go Wrong (Written by Phillip Phillips, Greg Holden and Drew Pearson)

Can't Go Wrong is the kind of song that you just want to shout after a long hard day. And the fact that Phillip sings about his hometown, Georgia, is just too sweet. It makes me want to go there and stay at Phillip's house, his bedroom specifically.

11. A Fool's Dance (Written by Phillip Phillips)

I love how dark A Fool's Dance is. There is just something so gloomy about this song but I enjoy it. And the lyrics just stab my heart. Listen to this song when you feel a bit somber, especially in the rainy day, in the car, staring at the window... Yeah you get what I mean.

12. So Easy (Written by Stephen Wrabel, Peter Amato, Pete Salis)

Just like the title, this song is easy, simple and very catchy. I really like to imagine Phillip singing this song to me because it's just so cute.

"You make it so easy to fall so hard." Yes Phillip, you do :')

So that's it guys!!! I hope you enjoyed my review!

OH I THINK I MISSED SOMETHING

Take Me Away (Written by Phillip Phillips and Hannah Blackwell) ONLY AVAILABLE IN TARGET DELUX EDITION

Okay, let me start with this. First, I don't get why the heck this song is only in target deluxe edition when it's pretty obvious this song is just so perfect and haunting and DEFINITELY MY FAVORITE. I can't stop replaying this song. Every single word of this song captures my feelings perfectly. Every. Single. Word. My feelings for Phillip himself. Yes I want him to take me away. Yes I only see him out of thousands coming my way. Yes he's all I wanna see and all I wanna touch & feel in every way. And we can hide forever. This may sound pathetic but whatever.

So, I give this album 4.5 stars out of possible 5 stars . It's just because I simply don't give 5 stars to ANYTHING. Well maybe Breakaway by Kelly Clarkson is a 5 stars album but that's the only one. So I'm just so proud of this album. I can't believe he has come this far. :')

Terry McDermott & Jealousy (?)

HI GUYS!!
Okay so it's been long since the last time I updated my blog... Well, that's because my laptop is broken. Thankfully, I still can check Youtube or browsing with my tab, dan sebenernya bisa2 ajasih blogging, tapi gue sebenernya gak suka banget ngetik pake tab because it's super ribet. BUT karena gue tiba2 pingin banget nge post jadi ya udah, leggo!!!

Jadi as you know, kemaren itu tanggal 12-12-12 tapi sumpah nothing special banget, ya gimana mau special orang ini lagi exam week.....tapi minggu depan holiday bitches!!! The only thing that made me happy yesterday was TERRY MASUK TOP 3!!! Okay I haven't told you about Terry before. HE'S MY NEW OBSESSION, K?! So, he's a contestant of The Voice US Season 3. I've always liked his voice but he never stood out for me until about two or three weeks ago (when I started to get annoyed by Cassadee because she's wayyy too overrated, like seriously I think she's good but not THAT good?!?!). And last week he's making me melt with his "I Want To Know What Love Is" rendition. HIS VOICE IS JUST..... It's so pure but it reminds me with classic rock voices at the same time??? Idk he's just...perfect. And I always thought that I only loved him for his voice but I started to get jealous.... I got jealous when Cassadee poked his nose at the end of their duet. So I think my love for him is starting to get to the personal level. And do you know what's worse than Cassadee poking his nose?! Yes, the fact that he's married and has a 5 year old son. But I love his son. He's sooo cute and their relationship is adorable. And his wife is super pretty.... Soo, I'm happy for them (I guess?). And I don't think that Terry's super handsome either but idk....there's just something about him. Plus, HAVE YOU HEARD HIS ACCENT?!?! His accent is driving me crazy okayyyy (fyi, he's originally from Scotland).

Anyway, that new Adam Lambert's interview where he kissed the interviewer just made me super jealous, okay. INTERVIEWER NYA CEWEK LOH FYI. JEALOUSY AT ITS HIGHEST LEVEL TAU. Lagian dia random banget pas ditanya something like "if you could kiss any celebrity under the mistletoe, who would it be?" Terus dia langsung kayak "Carrie.." sambil narik kursi interviewer nya terus ya jelas si Carrie nya itu gak mau menyia nyiakan kesempatan -_- LOL Adam you are sooo unexpectable and I love it about you tapi next time please nge kiss nya fans aja ya (read: me).

I wish I could post the videos of the duet and the interview but it's hard because I'm using my tab. :s

GILS PERJUANGAN BANGET LOH NGETIK POST INI.

Yeay

GUYS GUYS GUYS
Oke pertama-tama gue harus bikin pengakuan, gue download album my baby Phillip Phillips illegally. INI EMANG SALAH BANGET DAN GUE MERASA BERSALAH KOK. Abis gimana I cannot wait any longer!!!! Terus CD nya belom tentu masuk Indonesia pula jadi ya gue gak tau kapan gue bakal dapet hard copy of it! Tapi PASTI gue beli kok nanti, jadi no worries ya :''') (?)

Ya singkat cerita gue udah denger semua lagu lagunya dan yang bisa gue katakan hanya
"AWWWWWWWWWW"

Gak ngerti lagi sama Phillip, why do you even do this to me sih babe omgggg. Ekspresi gue pas pertama dengerin lagu lagunya pasti abstrak banget karena I was like senyum senyum and mau nangis at the same freakin time. POKOKNYA gue bangga banget sama Phillip gak ngerti lagi I LOVE YOU BABE gak sia sia lo ninggalin rumah terus untuk bikin album.

Jadi guys judul album Phillip itu The World from the Side of the Moon. Album ini typical Phillip banget. Gak mainstream so I don't think it will be on the top chart of iTunes or Billboard. But to me it doesn't matter because I don't want him to go mainstream anyway HEHE. Dari semua lagu, yang paling stand out mungkin Gone, Gone, Gone. Lucu ya di album Taylor Swift ada Stay Stay Stay terus di album Phillip ada Gone, Gone, Gone HAHA what a cute coincidence (?)

OKE jadi balik ke Gone, Gone, Gone. Ini probably my favorite one at the moment (tapi paling nanti juga berubah HEHE). Soalnya ini lagunya catchy tapi bagus and the lyrics is just toooo sweet bikin gue mau nangis AAAH. Unyew banget loh masa kata katanya ada yang kayak gini...
"You’re my back bone, you’re my cornerstone
You’re my crutch when my legs stop moving
You’re my headstart, you’re my rugged heart
You’re the pokes that I’ve always needed
Like a drum baby don’t stop beating 3x
Like a drum my heart never stops beating for you"
Oke sekali lagi WHY PHILLIP WHY DO YO DO THIS TO ME.

Terus masa ya Phillip nyanyi lagu ini sama PS22 dan itu keren banget. PS22 tuh kayak choir anak anak gitu di US. And their voices are sooo good you guys should check them out!

Ini yang sama my baby Phillip :')


AWW BANGET KAN. Di mana gue bisa nemu cowok kayak Phillip asdfghjkl Hannah Blackwell you're one lucky bitch.

TERUS YA TERUS masa di the newest episode of NCIS ada a very sweet Tiva scene omg


That scene was cute, sad and beautiful at the same time. It's actually Tony's first time to open up his past like that and he did it to Ziva. He trusted Ziva. And the way he looked at Ziva... IT'S LOVE PEOPLE, LOVE.
Kapan ada cowok yang ngeliat gue kayak gitu
WHAT IS LIFE

Like a drum baby don't stop beating! ;)

Kradam

I JUST...
I JUST MISS KRADAM SO MUCH IT HURTS. Their bromance is like the best thing that ever happened on Idol like seriously.
I found these gifs on Tumblr:

And I just wanted to cry so bad cause I miss them being together and they just NEED TO REUNITE. Their friendship is just too beautiful asdfghjkl I love how much they respect each other despite all their differences. I mean, Kris is a married-man, very religious and all but it doesn't make him stay away from Adam. IF ALL THE PEOPLE WERE LIKE KRIS THIS WORLD WOULD BE A BETTER PLACE.
Even though it must be pretty hard for Adam to be near Kris because it's pretty obvious that he had a crush on Kris... I mean, imagine you're being close to your crush, act totally cool about it but deep inside you know you'll never end up together with him. And he said once in an interview that he found it distracting to be paired as roomates with Kris.
"I was like, 'Oh, sh--, they put me with the cute guy, distracting! He's the one guy I found attractive in the whole group on the show: nice, nonchalant, pretty and totally my type - except that he has a wife. I mean, he's open-minded and liberal, but he's definitely 100 percent straight."
AHHH Adam it must be so difficult to be in your position :( Omg omg omg WHY DOES THE WORLD IS BEING SO CRUEL TOWARDS HIM.
*sobs*
And when the media questioned Adam's crush on Kris, Kris always answered it wisely. He always just laughed or he even once said (jokingly) that he has a crush on Adam too. I mean we all know it's impossible but LOOK HOW ADORABLE THEIR FRIENDSHIP IS.
Kris is just super nice, I don't get why do people are hating on him just because he won Season 8. I mean, sometimes I'm also still pretty pissed to the fact that Adam didn't win, but HATING A PERSON AS NICE AS KRIS IS JUST SO WRONG. And I don't think Adam wants his fans to hate on Kris either...so stop.

And remember Kradam's last Ford Music Video?


That video always makes me want to cryyyyy and the lyrics is just super sad :'(
"i try to keep it simple
cause i hate goodbyes
and i try to keep it simple
by telling myself that

I, I Will remember you
and all of the things
that we've gone through
There is so much I can say but words get in the way
So we're not together
I will remember you"

Well, to me it's pretty much like Kradam soundtrack :')
*sobs again*

Maybe I'm kinda different with most of Glamberts because I'll never ever ship Adommy or Saulbert as much as I ship Kradam. :')
