180Px-D1121029The Upstairs Neighbour is very, very determined. To do what, I am not sure, unless his or her objective was to puzzle me with the piano playing.

I believe it is the first time someone has made the Beatles' 'She Loves You' sound very much like a Chinese Communist Party propaganda song. The entire reper­toire of his or her recital now reads:

1. She Loves You — Bea­t­les
2. Star Wars Main Theme — John Williams

Idol LThat out of the way, the guilt of watching the first two episodes of American Idol was ameliorated somewhat by a couple of really really good auditions - the best being the brother and sister pair from Seattle, Shyamali and Sanjaya Malakar. They've got my vote!

    Really cant “tahan” some of the “freaks” inside the “Amer­i­can Idols”..

    I mean they should know where their short­com­ings are and l agreed at timeswith Simon’s “straight-to-the-face” — “I’M NOT MEANT TO BE RUDE!!”

    Amer­i­can Idol pro­duc­ers go all out to source for the freaki­est weirdos (Seat­tle, you win so far) and make them all sing one par­tic­u­lar song eg. Don’cha or Kiss, even though it’s already so obvi­ous they are hor­ren­dous, and then makes a mon­tage footage — it’s what makes must-see TV.
