Last night “American Idol” results were a shocker! When Seacrest announced that Chris was voted out! :( i was so taken aback. I was expecting Chris and Katherine to be the finalist not the bottom 2! Judging from the trend and audience reception, it certainly looks like America loves the white hair guy. Taylor is just a good entertainer; he can only sing songs from my Pa’s generation and I agree with Simon that at times Taylor is indeed a good impersonator of the singer whose song he sings & yes it sounds karaoke. On the other hand, Chris’s vocals are the most rock solid of the four and original in his presentation. If Taylor wins, he will be the most matured Idol.
The curtains are coming down soon, crossing my fingers that McPhee will be at the Kodak Theater for the finale even though her chances do look slim. This year competition has been unique and cutthroat. All of them have their own sound. Chris is a rocker, Yamin with his soulful and jazzy feel, Katherine with her smoldering ballads, Paris with her Motown blood = all of them have been equally good. It make it harder for America to choose.
Mom is away for 2 days at a Church Camp in Port Dickson for some spiritual education, healing, praying and fellowship. So I’m doing all of the house chores – from cooking to doing the laundry, cleaning, scrubbing, groceries shopping, taking out the garbage blah, blah, blah. Pretty domesticated isn’t it? It’s not something I’m good at (i’m horrible at it) but somehow it has been enjoyable :)
Mother’s Day is this Sunday and a big salute to all the Mommies out there. I know it’s not easy being a mom these days especially for those working mothers who try to balance family and career at the same time. Both are equally important and the satisfaction is just rewarding but in a different emotion context. Career gives women a sense of independence and boosts their self-confidence while family affairs bring out the tender motherly side of the woman.
To my MOM, Happy Mother’s Day. Thank You So Much For Everything :)
