An Atrocity

Okay I never blog about unmentionables if I can help it, but this one I just couldn't let slide.


So I'm sure by now everyone has heard Justin Biebuerghhhhh's (Sorry. Even typing it is hard on the soul.) new single 'Boyfriend'.

Aiyo his face is on my blog. A piece of my soul just died.


Anyway, I'm sure nothing stood out or anything just note the low breathy voice at the beginning, and then the Timberlake wannabe falsetto. And the entire setting of the video too :s


And compare it to this awesomeness.

Yes, I know it's about time I get over NSync already and when it came out I didn't even like 'Girlfriend' but first I have one word for Biebuerghhhhh.

COPYCAT!!!

Or is that two words?

Whatever. One word or two, he is a copycat. As if the two choruses weren't alike enough, I watched Biebuerghhhhh's video and was laughing hysterically at how it was exactly the same concept. Only thing he didn't do was dance on cars. 

Copycat. 

Shall I do similarities?

Number one

Title of the song, obviously.

Number two

Even though JT didn't go falsetto that much in this song, compare Biebuerghhhhh's attempt to JT's tried and tested one. Wannabe.

Number three

Chorus sounds surprisingly alike.

Number four

ENTIRE music video. There was one scene in particular with Biebuerghhhhh and his girl that was so similar to Nelly and his girl. 

Oh well, I guess I'm not outraged or anything. I'm just surprised me that's all. Just so we're clear, I obviously like 'Girlfriend' better.

A Good Week...Outside KL

So I spent the whole of last week at Mom and Dad's place in Melaka. By myself. It was nice. I got to spend some time with them and I didn't waste the whole week just waiting for Shu and Larry and Joanna and Michelle and Anna and all to be done with their finals. And I got to sample some of Melaka's awesome food; chicken ball rice, a very unusual wantan mee, etc. 


Day 1 - Monday


Got to Melaka at about 4. Mom was happy to see me and as soon as I got to the house I sat down in front of the tv and indulged :) Daddy cooked up a storm for my 'welcome dinner'. 


Day 2 -Tuesday


Oh look at that, mom and dad both at work. Mostly lazed around like a pig the whole day. Watched tv and then decided to sample Mom and Dad's wireless. Whoa. Connection so fast. Decided to catch up on Glee Season 3 and Gossip Girl Season 5 online while I'm at it. And Criminal Minds Season 7, needless to say. Dad usually got me lunch or I just had to heat up leftovers. Sometimes watched a DVD or read a book. Routine was so awesome that I repeated it til Friday :p


Day 5 - Friday


Everyone is done with finals and I get frantic thinking they're all gonna go out and celebrate without me. And sis arrives in Melaka in the afternoon, saying that Joash is dying without me it seems (When he came down he told me that the Internet connection back home at KL was so fast when I wasn't around and asked if I could just stay in Melaka. He sure was dying without me. Such an asshole. Urgh.). 


Day 6 - Saturday


What? Mom has to go to school today? Dad is going to work (Well in Dad's case what else is new?)? Oh well, Dad took us out for chicken ball rice for lunch then both Mom and Dad took us to watch Avengers in the evening.  We didn't drive there cause it was so near, we just walked. And it was a nice walk too. It was a nice night out, I have to say; Joash and sis threatening me with spoilers which eventually turned into a spewing of information that could have been right or wrong, then dinner at McD when we got to Mahkota Parade, me asking sis to buy me M&M's at the cinema and her asking me how much Eminem costs (I told her he wasn't for sale. LOL aren't I hilarious? :D), then the movie itself which was totally awesome. I'm definitely watching it again.


Day 7 - Sunday


It's Mother's Day!! So we go to church like good little children and sat with mom right in front. I'm talking first row here. Then I get into a fight with Joash over my pen drive which he didn't want to return because he wanted to play with the magnet *sigh*. Then we get home and help Mom out in the garden for a while, which inspires me to pick up some gorgeous white flowers to put in a bowl of water for Mom. Joash stepped on some of them *angry face*. And of course I was doing this while I was supposed to be packing to head back to KL. But it was all good. Then we all went out for lunch at this awesome restaurant which I kid you not, was called Restoran Sedap dan Murah. LOL. Or was it Murah and Sedap? Something like that.


Then took the bus back to KL and I was back in the big city. 


Day 8 - The Next Monday


I know, I know I was already back in KL so the title of this post is wrong. And 8 days do not make up a week. But it was still a good day, and still outside KL :)


Michelle and Shu and I decided to go to Klang to spend the day with Anna there. It was soooo much fun to just hang out. Had an awesome briyani lunch, walked around in Jusco with the clowns acting like clowns, went back to Anna's place and actually took a nap (This nap was not planned. We were watching tv and eventually all of us just dozed off.), and spent the rest of the evening watching the other three clowns being psychopaths. Oh, oh and I tasted the awesomest pisang goreng I have ever tasted in my life. In my life. It was this stall near Anna's place. I couldn't stop eating them, it was just soooo good. Then we headed back to PJ (Me and Shu didn't realise it was almost 9, we were both happily just lazing around in Anna's room. At least I thought it was about 8, Shu thought it was still 7 something and that it was still bright outside LOL.) for dinner at D Stall where I had their awesome pizza burger. Tasted so good....


So there we have it. Eight awesome days of relaxation :) Sem break's looking pretty good so far.

A New Season Part 1

Hello sweet blog that I have been shamefully neglecting for I don't know how long because of finals!!!


Anyway finals are over and I am now on a month-long break, two weeks of which I will be spending without Larry, Shu, Joanna, Anna, Michelle, and pretty much everyone from uni cause their papers only end on the 12th. FML right?


But still I'm just so glad finals are over, despite the fact that I just realised I have no friends lol. And I've just been dying to blog about the new season of ABDC since it started. That's right folks, America's Best Dance Crew Season 7 premiered like 3 or 4 weeks ago and I'm all pumped up full of comments (and rude and unfair judgements) about the crews and their performances. And of course, after a long dry spell, the hotness of one Mr. JC Chasez ;)

JC CHASEZ WITH STUBLLE!!!! *faint* 


So....pretending I'm a normal person now. They're calling Season 7 the Return of the Superstars cause last season was Season of the Superstars it seems (It sooo wasn't the season of the superstars okay, they had a Justin Bieber episode. Enough said.) where each episode had the crews dancing to songs by a 'superstar'. I've got to say, even though I didn't recognise lots of songs in the previous seasons, their dance challenges were much more interesting. Like the eighties challenge. And the evolution of hip hop challenge. Oh well, whatever. As long as I get to watch JC. So let's cut to the chase here and start with the first episode, the Britney Spears episode!!!!


Okay so there actually already was a Britney Spears episode. When was it, Season 3? Must be. But everyone on the show was pretending that it never happened. Let's let them live in their pretty little world where they're being original, shall we?


So anyway, as usual they started off with the group number to 'I Wanna Go' by Britney Spears.


Okay why has all my favourite people on Youtube decided not to post Season 7 performances of even bearable quality???


Damn, now I have to cut and upload all the videos myself? The horror :O Luckily I have all the time in the world to download a new video editing software, figure out how to use it, and cut all the videos one by one for the 3 episodes of ABDC so far. Only thing I didn't see coming is all the waiting time for all the bloody videos to save. Sometimes, very rarely but sometimes, I hate technology.


Back to the group number,


Mix'd Elements, Irratik, 8 Flavahz, Stepboys & Fanny Pak
Song: I Wanna Go - Britney Spears

*scream* First sighting of JC!!!! Oh my goodness he looks so hot. And whoa has he been working out? Look at those arms.... *swoon* Okay, okay I'm stopping with the psychotic stalker talk. Aiyo why is D Bloody Trix still there la? I mean I knew he would be, but he could have done us haters a favour and decided to stick with what he knows - dancing, not talking about it. And Lil Mama, look at her looking all pretty and, well...normal. 


Moving on to the actual performance, I'm trying my best to reserve judgement here, but anyone else feel like the performance was just bleh until Fanny Pak got there? I'm just saying :)


Anywayyyy my hopeless biased ways aside, let's get into the performances and my biased judgements :p


8 Flavahz
Week 1 - Britney Spears Challenge
Song - 3

Is anyone else feeling disturbed about the fact that they gave a bunch of kids (these girls are all aged 9 to 17) a song about threesomes? I mean its not like the ones that mattered (namely whichever one of these kids is the 9 year old) knew that but still. Disturbing. Oh, and did anyone upon hearing the name of this crew suddenly remember the existence of that Craig David song What's Your Flava and feel like listening to it? I did :s


Back to business. Was anyone wow-ed by their performance? Anyone get what the judges were so excited about? They were good I guess but it wasn't mind blowing or anything. And this coming from a girl who was practically jumping out of her seat when she first saw the Iconic Boyz last season, okay? It does not take much to impress me when it comes to kids. There was nothing that I looked at and really liked. Maybe the ending pose. And yes, I think the little girl with the afro is beyond adorable. 


I got a little annoyed at that shoutout to Lil Mama while they were dancing though. What was that for? So she would be as manja and as protective of them as she was with the Iconic Boyz? Whateverrr. 


Other than that, well I suppose I don't hate these girls. We'll see how they do next time.


Mix'd Elements
Week 1 - Britney Spears Challenge
Song - Til The World Ends

Oh no. Guy with a sob story and  a sense of humour (the part about being an undercover Britney Spears fan). See, when they do things like that, it makes me want to like them so bad. So bad. So I was actually looking for things to love about their performance. Hunting for something awesome to love. 


And...nothing. There was something missing in this performance. It's just that it's been six freaking seasons already on ABDC and I've seen sooo many awesome crews. These guys weren't horrible. But they weren't great. How sad. 


Irratik
Week 1 - Britney Spears Challenge
Song - Hold It Against Me

First thing I thought when I saw these girls - oh my goodness they're so hot. Then I looked at them one by one and guess what? Cheerleader effect. Who knew that was a real thing, right? And yes there is  a reason I haven't put up JC's comments, bear with me.


So. An all girl crew. I tend to hate them. Even if they have an Indian girl named Chandni whose parents think her dance dreams are a waste of time. Especially if they toss their hair about when they're dancing  and put on that 'I'm so hot' smolder. Especially when their performance wasn't that great. 


You know what was great about their performance? JC's comments :D

LOL isn't he funny???? You do not wanna know how many times I watched those precious "Oh my God, look at me" seconds :D Dammit la why does he have to be so HOT???


Oh, by the way, do you want to see what D Bloody Trix thinks flirting is?

I have nothing to say. No. Nothing. At all. 


I should say this though. Can D Bloody Trix be turned over to the Grammar Police for his use of the words 'your GUYSES'? What the hell is guyses? It's either 'you guys' or 'your crew', you can't have both. But then again D Bloody Trix might come up with some misunderstood metaphor about having your cake and eating it too.


Stepboys
Week 1 - Britney Spears Challenge
Song - If You Seek Amy

I didn't know at first why I didn't like these guys. Then I saw them dancing and I thought, hey maybe it's because they kinda suck. I was actually bored the entire performance. I may have laughed like once then the gags got old pretty fast. 


And I'm usually a fan of comedy while dancing by the way. I liked Poreotix in Season 5. I wasn't madly in love with them but I didn't dislike them this intensely at  least. Thing about Poreotix is, they were funny but they could dance. So yes, I thought I didn't like Stepboys cause well, if they could dance, they were hiding it pretty well.


But guess what? That's not why. I saw D Bloody Trix's comments and I understood.

They were friends of D Bloody Trix's at school!! Unexplained and unavoidable twitching when I saw them? Explained. Their suckiness? Well I'm sure D Bloody Trix deserves some credit for that at least. 


And JC's so adorable when he laughs *stupid smile*


FANNY PAK!!!! (Okay fine, their name isn't actually spelt in upper case and it doesn't have any exclamation marks. I'm just so happy they're back :D)
Week 1 - Britney Spears Challenge
Song - Womanizer

NOW it feels like I'm watching America's Best Dance Crew!! Just when I thought the first episode was going to be a complete bust. Have I mentioned that I'm so glad Fanny Pak is back? :)And on a completely unrelated note, isn't Matt Cady adorable? :)


I absolutely loved these guys in Season 2! They're so amazing and they never seem to do anything to give you whoa moments like all those gravity defying stunts or whatever but their performances rock the shit out of me anyway. Like this one. Rocked the shit out of me. And deja vu! They ended their performance exactly the same way they ended their first performance on ABDC in Season 2 :) I love Fanny Pak :D


And look, I got to watch JC rambling for the first time this season too. Please tell me he can't get more adorable than this. I can't take any more adorable-ness from him.


So anyway, Mix'd Elements was the bottom crew and they get to battle the next week's bottom crew for their survival. Damn, should have been Stepboys. Oh well, I suppose they were equally bad and the judges couldn't decide. 


I'm so glad ABDC is back.
