Adam Lambert trying too hard to entertain

I just finished watching Adam Lambert's performance, and I wasn't really entertain. Rather than letting his voice do the talking, he tried too hard to shock the people to accept his performance.
I have no doubt he had a great voice but the over the top gyrating and suggestive dancing is so distracting from the singing.

Adam needs to remember, that it is the public that buys the album, if the public is turned away and album sales drop so does his chance of making it in the music industry. He mentioned that he was a singer, entertainer and businessman, while a wise business person would not want to alienate the majority of the population, because they are the one that will support and buy the album.

Maybe the fame got the better of him and he lost track of what endeared him to people. Hopefully he will learn from this.

Good luck to him...

Adam Lambert Album out soon

I have decided to dedicate this week to Adam Lambert and see if i can convert some of my friends.
I must admit Adam have some pretty amazing songs which he sang during idol. His current new album is available for listen on http://www.ilike.com/artist/Adam+Lambert/.

I must say for a 1st album done in 2 months, the compilation is not too shabby. It does have a song for almost everyone. The album has alot of 70s and 80s feel, it reminds me of Ace of Base, Depeche Mode, with the electronic sound. I like the songs but I do wish that he could show case his voice more. Those songs he choose during idol was so spot on.

I wish his next album, he would do something different, so that people across different genre can enjoy his voice. I hope he does a rock album, a jazz album, a pop album, maybe even an opera.

But you only have ot listen to the selection and his rendition to understand why he is so unique.

If i Can't have you - Adam's Version so different...

• If I Can't Have You (American Idol Studio Version) by Adam Lambert

My FAV in his album so far ... hahah... all of his songs...

Awaiting for the new album

Yes, another week and the New Adam Lambert album will be out in store.

I was looking at one of his performance and decided to make a comparison for this song called feeling Good. I think each singer did a pretty awesome Job, Adam had a bit more grunt in the song though.




This is Nina Simone a Jazz singer as well...



This one is from Michael Buble ... not bad.. very Jazz...




This is by MUSE - Adam's Fav group




Here is one by Adam Lambert..


Sometimes its good when so many artist sing the same song so you can get a good feel of the song.

WHY WOMEN SHOULDN'T TAKE MEN SHOPPING

WHY WOMEN SHOULDN'T TAKE MEN SHOPPING


After I retired, my wife insisted that I accompany her on her trips to Target.
Unfortunately, like most men, I found shopping boring
and preferred to get in and get out. Equally unfortunate, my
wife is like most women - she loves to browse.


Yesterday my dear wife received the following
letter from the local Target.



Dear Mrs.Hudson

Over the past six months, your husband has caused quite a commotion
in our store. We cannot tolerate this behavior and have been
forced to ban both of you from the store. Our complaints
against your husband, Mr. J.Hudson are listed below and are
documented by our video surveillance cameras.


1. June 15:
Took 24 boxes of condoms and
randomly put them in other
people's carts when they weren't looking.


2. July 2:

Set all the alarm clocks in Housewares to go off at
5-minute intervals.



3. July 7:

He made a trail of tomato juice on the floor
leading to the women's
restroom.


4. July 19:

Walked up to an employee and told her
in an official voice, 'Code 3 in
Housewares. Get on it right
away? This caused the employee to leave her
assigned station
and receive a reprimand from her Supervisor that in
turn
resulted with a union grievance, causing management to lose
time and costing the company money.


5. August 4:

Went to the Service Desk and
tried to put a bag of M&Ms on layby.


6. August 14:

Moved a 'CAUTION - WET FLOOR' sign
to a carpeted area.

children shoppers
he'd invite them in if they would bring
pillows and blankets from the
bedding department to which
twenty children
obliged.


9. September 4:

Looked right into the security camera and
used it as a mirror while he
picked his nose.


10. September 10:

While handling guns in
the hunting department, he asked the clerk where
the antidepressants were.



11. October 3:

Darted around the store
suspiciously while loudly humming the 'Mission
Impossible' theme.


12. October 6

In the auto department, he practiced his 'Madonna look'
by using different sizes of funnels.


And
last, but not least:

15. October 23

Went into a fitting room, shut the door, waited
awhile, then yelled very
loudly, 'Hey! There's no toilet
paper in here!!!

One of the clerks passed out.

My friends

Patrick Ng... THE MAN..





Vic the "Old Man" - Celebrating his 40th Birthday

No candles.. on cake... too many cant fit on cake... so decided to just go out for dinner

My new dishes

I was in an experimental mood one night as Bird was also having her exam, so i decided to try something new.

First i did a soup - Preserved Veg with Sliced fish




Honey Baked Char Siew




XO Spinach with Sliced Chicken



My fav was still the Char Siew. I think i can do this again.. nice...

Capriz Review

Here is a restaurant, that is really intresting. It is a Vietnamese owned Italian restaurant. We were figuring out what to eat before CG and stumbled upon this quaint little take away near Galleria.

And my guess was right, they have asian style Pizza, so i decided to try the Thai chilli chicken pizza, when the pizza came, it was crispy and with an interesting chinese feel to it. The fish and chips were also nice, the batter was crispy and the chips were salted just right for my taste bud







It was worth the try.

Next round i will try it again .

Campaigning for Late Night in Perth

It is with regret that i learned that Perth is 10 years behind the eastern states. My friend told me that Perth was like what Melbourne was when his parents was in School. When he first moved over from Melbourne he had a rude cultural shock.

Now apparently, Melbourne had shops that opens 24 hours and on weekends. In fact the 1st week he came to perth, he went to Innaloo on a sunday thinking it was open, but to his horror. Shops are closed.

I think as perth population grow it is about time we start to take abit more initiative to get rid of the sleepy town image. I know many perth older folks hate the daylight savings and late nights. But isn't this about choice, democracy dictates that People should be given the right to choose.

Look if some people don't like late nights, by all means stay at home, why penalize others for wanting more cash or those who enjoy late night shopping. Isn't democracy about choice.

Let people choose, late night only works if people do think it is good.

I will start a campaign to help Colin Barnett to get the Late night going... no more restricted shopping hours.

LIBERATE PERTH
