un pensamiento para ti...

"He aprendido que todo el mundo quiere vivir en la cima de la montaña, sin saber que la verdadera felicidad está en la forma de subir la escarpada. He aprendido que cuando un recién nacido aprieta con su pequeño puño, por vez primera, el dedo de su padre, lo tiene atrapado para siempre. He aprendido que un hombre sólo tiene derecho a mirar a otro hacia abajo, cuando ha de ayudarle a levantarse..."

~ Gabriel Garcia Marquez

I loved it when Funn brought out that David "Awwwwwchuleta" quote from an article she read. What an apt name for the teenager from Utah who always has that awwww-shucks look whenever the judges praise him for a stunning performance.

Unlike past American Idol competitions, I actually do have a favourite since early in the competition, and that is David Archuleta.

I'd be devastated if he doesn't at least get into the finals. Nevermind if he doesn't eventually become the American Idol cos I heard the deals for the champion aren't so great. But at least be the runner-up.

Beautiful, beautiful rendition of Angels for the Idols Give Back show.



Here's the original version from Robbie Williams:


Though I'm ashamed that I never knew that Robbie Williams was the original singer! The first time I heard this beautiful song was actually the Italian version by Patrizio Buanne and I instantly fell in love with it:

Pearl, I AM SHOCKED! How can you not know Robbie Williams sang Angels? If there was a Robbie Williams night, I would propose to Awwwwchuleta to sing Better Man! But he is becoming rather predictable. I mean he is GREAT but always ballad. I would love to hear him cover Rock DJ!

Now my absolute favourite other than David Cook who is so so so much better than the cheat Daughtry is none other than handsome mesmerizing seductive but oh so young Jason Castro. You should watch his performances, especially these 2 or 3 weeks, after the Michelle (Beatles) week where Simon said he didn't try hard enough and true, he buck up and now he sang so well. Never thought Mariah Carey song can be so rock or care free.

But Funn, do listen to the Italian version of Angels too. It has a different quality to it...
