I watched 17 Again with Tash today at the mall. After The Gardens's GSC, I never want to go back to the one at Mid Valley again. The Garden's GSC is quite normal, only 5 movie rooms, and not a lot of seats in it, but the seats are two-by-two, and very comfy, but a bit more expensive coz of its awesomeness.

  

Adam Lambert is on the Rolling Stone cover! So gonna buy that magazine if I see it... and if it's not too expensive.

But exactly what is his type? When Idol producers put him in a room to share with Allen, Lambert says his first thought was, "They put me with the cute guy. Distracting! He's the one guy I found attractive in the whole group on the show: nice, nonchalant, pretty and totally my type — except that he has a wife. I mean he's open-minded and liberal, but he's definitely 100% straight." 

- Btw that "cute guy" is Kris Allen (OMGOMGOMGOMGOMG). Click here to read the full article.

Adam's father Eber caught his 13-year-old son looking at gay pornography on the family computer, and turned to his wife and said 'It's official.'

Later, Lambert's mother asked if he had a girlfriend. He said no. She asked if he had a boyfriend. He said no. Then she asked if he wanted a boyfriend, to which Lambert replied "Yes, that would be nice."

"Yes, that would be nice." Lol! And great news: ADAM IS RELEASING AN ALBUM THIS FALL!! Which is like, September to October, I think.

I wonder how I'd feel if I caught my son looking at gay porn. Or any kind of porn.

Ewwww! O_O

Anyway, the holidays are ending. Darn! And I have piano and ballet tomorrow, and a piano recital on Sunday. What a great way to end the holidays.

Not.

LOL! And this one below is sooo freakishly cute, it should be illegal! You have to watch it!

Kris Hugs Adam!

This vid made me go "awwww!" It's sooo sweet! *dies of cute overload*

11:39 AM

The guy that should have won American Idol...

And this adorable vid of Archie, David Cook, and Syesha!

I still don't get it 100%. I wish someone had some examples or something!


Finally got some examples of dry humor!

1. Mahatma Ghandi was asked by an English journalist what he thought of Western Civilization. Ghandi replied, "Ahhh, that would be a very good idea."
2. My late husband was Irish and had an extremely dry sense of humour. I once told him that a man, passing me in the street, said to me, "Hello gorgeous." My husband replied, with a straight face, "What colour was his guide dog?"
3. "I spilled some spot remover on my dog. Now he's gone."

Dry humor is characterized by restraint, and lack of emotion in its delivery. It is wry.

Dry humour = amusing, not rolling on the floor with laughter kind of humour.
Deadpan humour = said with a straight face, and often it's hard to tell if someone if joking or not.

I think I get it now. What about this? 

Emily: Thank you!

Was that dry humor? Or was it just sarcasm? Btw, that actually happened.

Oh, more examples from a TV show called Frasier:

(after his brother has made a particularly self-serving statement): "Niles, I've got news for you. Copernicus called and you're NOT the center of the universe."

Frasier (talking to a caller on his radio program): "There's an incredible piece of scientific equipment known as the Tunneling Electron Microscope. Now, this microscope is so powerful that by firing electrons you can actually see images of the atom, the infinitesimally minute building block of our universe. If I were using that microscope right now, I still wouldn't be able to locate my interest in your problem."


David Archuleta - Imagine



Omg. Start at 5:23! Ryan pretended to leave David on the stage coz all the girls were screaming for him (David), so David was like, "No! Oh no, don't leave me here!"

OMG. HE IS SO FREAKING ADORABLE, I WANNA HUG HIM!!! ♥

Here's a recap of the AI finale yesterday:

First, Ryan Seacrest talks about how nearly 100 million (whoa!) votes came in. He introduces the judges, and they show clips of Randy Jackson's "for me, for you" line ("It just isn't the right song for me, for you"), Kara sweetening bad news ("Honey, you can't sing", "Sweetie, I don't think singing is for you"), Paula's vocabulary ("intonation", "brilliance"), and Simon being hard of hearing ("What?", "Pardon?", "Sorry?").

Ryan brings Adam Lambert and Kris Allen onstage! Mikalah Gordon reports from Conway, Arkansas (Kris's hometown), on the screen, and all the hysterical Kris fans are surrounding her. Carly Smithson reports from San Diego, California (Adam's hometown), with Adam's fans screaming around her.

The Top 13 sing So What by Pink. David Cook sings Permanent as a tribute to his brother Adam Cook, who recently passed away to a brain tumor (the performance is on iTunes, and the proceeds go to an organization that's trying to find a cure for cancer).

 

Ryan presents the "Golden Idol Awards" to honor the not-so-great singers in the competition.  One sang Mad World at the auditions, and it was so funnily lousy, it made me laugh so hard! Nick Mitchell (or "Norman Gentle") wins for "Outstanding Male" and performs weirdly.

Queen Latifah and Lil rounds sing Cue the Rain. Jason Mraz sings I'm Yours with Alexis and Anoop (David likes Jason Mraz!).

They play a clip of Kris's American Idol journey. He is really very modest! At the auditions, one judge asked if he was the best singer out there, and he was like, "You know, there are probably lots of people out there who are better than me." Then Kris sings Kiss a Girl with Keith Urban.

The finalist girls sing Glamorous. Fergie takes the stage and sings Big Girls Don't Cry, then the Black Eyed Peas join her and they perform Boom Boom Pow.

The Golden Idol Award for "Best Attitude." They show clips of people who reacted badly to bad comments from the judges at the auditions. Katrina Darrell a.k.a. Bikini Girl wins. Of course she was wearing a bikini. She sings Vision of Love and Kara joins her halfway, which she did not expect (at the auditions, she'd said to Kara, "I don't think your demonstration was any better," so now Kara was showing her). Then Kara gives a quick flash of her bikini. She was dared by her fellow judges, and since she did it, they had to donate some money to her favorite charity.

Allison Iraheta and Cyndi Lauper sing Time After Time.

Ryan Seacrest chats with Kris's and Adam's parents. They're so proud!

Danny Gokey sings Hello, then sings with Lionel Richie.

Ryan Seacrest talks about the AI top 10 tour and album.

A clip of Adam Lambert's AI journey! Then Adam sings Beth, wearing an AWESOME outfit, then sings Rock & Roll All Night with a metal band called Kiss. No offence, but Kiss kind of freaked me out. They painted their faces and kept sticking out their tongues while smiling, which is a bit scary. Plus they have very hairy chests.

Carlos Santana plays the guitar and the Idol finalists sing a Santana medley. Adam goes and walks over next to Santana and looks at him, so Santana shakes his hand. So cute!

A clip of David Cook surprising Kris and Adam with brand-new Ford Fusions! They thank Ford for their new cars.

Michael Sarver and Megan Joy sing a song about pretty flowers or something with Steve Martin.

The boys sing If You Want My Body (omg haha!), then Rod Stewart sings.

The Golden Idol Award for "Outstanding Female." Tatiana something wins. Ryan tells her to stay in her seat first, coz they were gonna take a break, but she runs onstage anyway and grabs the mic and award despite Ryan's protests. Then she starts singing while the guards grab her arms. She's annoying. Sorry! But I think she is.

Final performance! Adam Lambert and Kris duet and sing We Are the Champions with Queen and the rest of the Idols.

Kris sings No Boundaries, and the Idols come onstage with him. White confetti falls from the ceiling and everyone is screaming.

Oh well. Congrats to Kris. I think he's quite a good singer and he's cute, but in my opinion, Adam is better. Omg. Adam is so awesome! I really hope he gets famous! He's just so amazing and so unique! I do NOT like all those people who stopped voting for him just coz he's gay! So narrow-minded! It's a talent competition, so who cares what his sexuality is? It's not fair! I think Adam would've won if he wasn't gay, or if people didn't care about these things.

My gosh la. Even though he's probably gonna get famous anyway, I just wanted him to have the title! Wouldn't it be so cool if you got to be an American Idol? Ugh. Well, good night, everyone. It's like 12:58 AM now, so I think I better go.

Adam Lambert rocks my socks off (even though I'm not wearing any)!

OMG. OH MY GOSH!!!

I JUST WATCHED THE LAST PERFORMANCE FOR AMERICAN IDOL SEASON 8 AND IT WAS

OMGOMGOMG! American Idol is awesome! Why didn't I watch it until recently?!

Adam and Kris sang 3 songs each -- their choice, Simon Fuller's (creator of AI) choice, and No Boundaries, which was co-written by Kara DioGuardi and is the designated single for the winner. Adam and Kris had flipped a coin, and Kris won, so he chose to go second.

Round One. Adam sang Mad World first, and it was so omg! He was wearing this long, black cape, and there was this blue light behind him and blue fog everywhere. Very fantasy-ish and mysterious.  Randy, Kara, and Paula loved the performance. Simon said "maybe it was the coat, it was a little bit over-theatrical," but I disagree coz I love this sort of thing!

Judges' comments: Randy said that he loved that Adam was showing his sensitive side, and that he was rocking the long coat and he loved the fog, and that he was gonna give Adam an A+ for that performance. Kara said that Adam rocked it again tonight. Paula said that Adam was “astonishingly handsome”, and she was proud of him, and that the song was a great way to start the show. Simon though, who was in the media this week saying he thinks Kris Allen will win, claimed that Adam performed the song better the first time, and that the coat made him look like the Phantom of the Opera.

Kris Allen sang Ain't No Sunshine, which I have to admit was really good.  All the judges loved it, and Simon said that Round One went to Kris.

Round Two. Adam sang A Change is Gonna Come. The judges raved about it, and even Simon said that Adam was back in the game. Kris sang What's Going On. Randy and Simon thought the song was too light for such a stage of competition. Kara and Paula focused their comments on the song, with Paula saying that Kris made Marvin Gaye proud. Round Two went to Adam.

Round Three. Adam sang No Boundaries. Randy said it was a little pitchy. Kara said she was proud her song got sung by Adam. Paula said, "Adjectives can't express what you've brought to the show." Simon said he wasn't going to judge the song. Kris's version of No Boundaries was a bit slower than Adam's, but he wasn't able to pull off the song either. Randy and Kara thought the song was too high for Kris. Paula told Kris to be proud of himself. Simon said the first performance was the best.

Kris said, "Me and Adam said we're not competing, we're just coming out to put on a good show tonight."

Don't forget to watch the finale tomorrow! StarWorld (Astro channel 711), 6-8 PM and replay at 8-10 PM.

7:19 PM

PaulLyn spoiled AI today by screaming that "Yay, Danny is out!" in school. In Malaysia, they play AI on the TV later than in America, so she found out by checking it out on the Internet. Sarah, Rachel, and Emily were so sad that Danny Gokey went out coz they thought Kris should be out instead. And just btw, they're rooting for Adam Lambert, not Danny. We kept going, "OMG, I hope Adam won't be out!" and "Some people don't like that he's gay, so they might not vote for him!" and "I'm so scared Adam will be out!" and "Adam must wiiin!"

So after school, I was at the mall, eating Japanese food with my mum and brothers, when I got a phone call from Sarah.

And she told me that Adam got kicked off American Idol when they found out he was gay, and they brought Danny back in instead! I was like, "Wait, I thought they knew he's gay already?" Then she said that he didn't actually say it, they just had pictures of him kissing another guy, and when some people confronted him about it after AI when Danny went out and he and Kris were left, he admitted he was gay. So they kicked him off. When I asked her if it was real, she said yes, and it was on BBC.

I thought it was pretty weird, since Adam has a boyfriend (Brad Bell, I think, the guy he was kissing in those infamous pictures) and he doesn't bother to keep it a secret. I think Brad was even at AI. And those pictures were proof enough, so why did they have to wait for him to admit it? And Sarah told me just today in school that the week they found out Adam was gay, he was in the bottom three.

I was too upset to really think about all that, though, and I couldn't enjoy my teriyaki chicken properly after that. I was dying to go home and check it out myself, coz Sarah said she'd send me the link to the article. I tried looking it up on Google, using my phone, but nothing came up about it. Again, I didn't think much of it. I called Emily and told her, and she said, in this really calm voice, "Oh yeah, I know. I read it somewhere. I have to go for piano class now. Bye." I thought it was pretty weird, but dismissed it AGAIN.

I kept going, "I can't believe Adam got kicked out coz of that! and "STUPID STUPID STUPID AMERICAN IDOL" and "THEY'RE EVIL" and etc. to my mum and brothers after that, and went all gloomy.

When I finally reached home just now at about 7:05 PM, I immediately went online and called Sarah on my phone to send me the link when I saw she wasn't online.

Here I begin to suspect something.




And so on. Then I called Emily and telling her how evil, cruel, and sick that joke was. Even though she didn't really do anything much. It was mostly Sarah. I mean, look at our SMSes (before I found out it was a stupid prank, of course):






Sarah: He publicly announced that the pictures were real when some interviewers asked. And the Fox people kicked him out! One of the Fox guy were like, "American Idol have to set good examples." SO BAD! *angry face*

I feel like a total idiot now. How could I believe that?!


Sarah: Hahahahahahahahahaha! So funny la! I can't believe you actually believed! This is the most successful prank I did! XD Yay for me!!
