The moment i read that MAS was promoting on Michael Buble, i was ecstatic! With the current mainstream songs being so poppish and auto-tune-ish, i couldn’t help but enjoy old jazzy music like Buble’s even more. When i got to know the date, i was torn. It was a week after Jay Chou’s concert (yes i attended his concert as well, lol. Awesome CG!) and a week before Angeline leaves for the motherland.

Seeing that Enrich members were given priority and was given a discount, we thought no further.

It was expensive.

But it was totally worth it!

The day finally came and we waited at KL Sentral which had a free shuttle service to Melawati Stadium, specially for Michael Buble’s concert. It took us less than 40 minutes to reach the stadium and there we walked around the F & B stalls waiting for the gates to open up.

Nearby the stalls was a board where everyone had to take a photo. Some even shoved each other to be in front of the board, lol.

We then made our way to the entrance of the stadium after realizing the dark clouds were fast approaching.

The rest also realized it was getting darker and the crowd started building up at the entrance.

After standing for close to 20 minutes, the organizers opened the gates and we all rushed before it started to pour from the skies.

We found our seats with ease and yes we were damn early. It slowly filled up as more and more people rushed in the rain.

The concert started with a local artist and she really had some powerful vocals.

After an hour or so, Michael Buble made his grand entrance and it was spectacular! At that point of time, i still compared any concerts to James Morrisson’s in KLCC where he played all acoustics and it was really classy.

Of course that was all out of the window with Michael Buble.

“Let’s not have a concert but let’s have a party!”.

That’s what Michael said at the beginning and it was definitely a party. Not only did he sing well but he was one hell of a joker!

He told us that to warm up before concerts like this he would sing 2 songs to energy pumped up. Immediately he sang Don’t Stop Believing, the Glee version and everyone burst into laughter. He then sang A Whole New World from Aladdin.

What a joker!

He also did a rendition of Michael Jackson which had the row behind me, screaming like mad. LOL

If only the upload speed for Streamyx was stable and probably faster than the current one,  i would have uploaded a couple of videos. Unfortunately after trying over and over again, i only got 2 videos up.

The crowd shouted for an Encore and We Want More! Michael reappears and sings Feeeling Good

This is definitely one of the many highlights of his ‘party’. Watch at the end of the clip. NO SOUND EQUIPMENTS USED. And he is still able to sing to all of us!

Hands down, the best concert / party i have attended to date!

Michael Buble’s Crazy Love Concert

I am sure many of you here, if not all are fans of certain music out there. Personally i don’t have a favourite genre in particular. Since music is a universal language, i listen to many different languages. English, Malay, Chinese, Indian songs, just to name a few. Lyrics have their value if you understand well in the language but unfortunately my proficiency in both my mother and father tongue is dreadful. So the best i could do is appreciate the tune, lol

In this generation, every information is pushed out to users like me and you via the internet and to be more precise, social media networks like Facebook and Twitter. Sony Music Malaysia joined the bandwagon by having their very own Facebook Page.

There’s definitely perks of being a fan of their page. Off and on Sony Music Malaysia gives out freebies like CDs, notepads, any sort of merchandise. The most recent one where people were going gaga (no not like lady gaga) but i mean go crazy were the Glee giveaways. There are more to come in the future i am sure, so stay in touch with Sony Music Malaysia by liking their group

One of my all time favourite Sony Artist is Anggun. Wonder if some of you could still remember her songs

For those who have blogs, you can win yourselves 2 CDs by blogging about Sony Music Malaysia. To know more, headover here.

It’s very rare that i do updates back to back on a daily basis but something caught my attention while i was browsing through perezhilton.com. It was mentioned there that a Serbian singer, Jelena Karleuša, was trying to copy Lady Gaga’s style of of dressing and singing. Not knowing anything i watched the video that was posted up to see the similarities.

The song is called Insomnia and it’s the latest song from the pop singer. Here’s the thing, 30 seconds into the song and i realized i have heard this tune before. I tried humming back the tune to recall the name of the song.

After 5minutes of browsing through my list finally found it. The name of the song is Dance Pe Chance and was from the movie Rab Ne Bana Di Jodi starring Shah Rukh Khan. The song was introduced by my room mate after he had asked me to watch this movie. After listening to both of the songs back to back, i can confidently say it’s the similar if not the same ! Even the part where the guy sings is similar, hahaha.

Insomnia is Dance Pe Chance on crack.

I am not sure if the original music composers realized the existence of a Serbian version of their song, lol.

I don’t understand both songs cause i don’t understand Hindi nor Serbian but the tune is really catchy

As to if Jelena Karleuša copied Lady Gaga or not, i couldn’t care less. But a quick browse on Google and i think Jelena looks wayyyy better than Lady Gaga, lol.

What do you think about the song and the singer ?

Our love has changed,
It’s not the same,
And the only way to say it
Is say it .. it’s better.

I can’t concede,
This way I feel,
For all the time we spent, together,
Forever .. just gets better.

See what I’m trying to say is:
You make things .. better
And no matter what the day is,
With you here .. it’s better.

I’ll stand by you,
If you stand by me.
I think time that I, reveal it,
‘Coz I believe it
It’s better

See what I’m trying to say is:
You make things .. better
And no matter what the day is,
With you here .. it’s better

Ooh the more I .. talk .. to .. you
The more in love with
E .. vry .. thing .. you .. do

Doo doo doo doo doo doo

See what I’m trying to say is:
You make things .. better
And no matter what the day is,
With you here .. it’s better

Our love has changed
It’s not the same
And the only way to say it
Is say it .. it’s better

The last time i wrote about a song was more than a year back and that was Closer by Travis. This time around i am totally hooked to Better by Tom Baxter.

I heard this song from the movie Run Fat Boy Run when i watched it around end of last year and i loved how simple the lyrics were and it suited that particular portion of the movie well

Boyzone too came out with their version of Better recently and that’s how i found out that Stephen Gately was actually gay

On a side note, i have been neglecting my blog ever since my task for my side projects has been doubled for the past weeks. Thankfully all that is gonna end before this weekend Besides that, i have been running up and down Penang and KL for the past four weeks. I was at the Penang Food Hunt, helped dolphin with her packing, What a Bloggiful World, Deepavali, house shifting, etc. Busy as hell.

Eunice: I really see you everywhere! :p

Oh and did i mentioned that i got chosen to be part of the ‘Contributor’ team for Malaysian Dream Girls I will update on that in the upcoming entries. For the time being, head over to their site and check out DiEsE’s and Willyyilly’s entries

Back to the song, if you are a fan of slow and folk-ish kinda songs i am pretty sure you would love this song together with it’s lyrics. Check out boyzone’s rendition on youtube too

Finally the main reason i wrote this entry is actually to dedicate this particular song to someone special. I am not particularly good in revealing my inner feelings like how Charng does, so that’s where this song comes in

P/S: No i am not lazy

This is probably the most naturalistic and believable romantic musical you may ever see and hear. Even though the whole movie was shot using camcorder ala Cloverfield but it suited well with the storyline. Initially i was hooked to one of their songs from their OST and after searching high and low for the movie, i finally watched it today. The expectation i had initially was pretty low knowing that this is a low budget movie which cost them $160,000 but managed to rake in $14 mil.

The Irish romance ONCE may be a musical, but it is miles away from the traditional Hollywood idea of people bursting into song. Glen Hansard (frontman for indie rock band The Frames) plays the guy, a street musician who is playing for change when he meets the girl (Marketa Irglova), an immigrant from the Czech Republic. The pair immediately bond over their shared love of music (he is a guitarist, and she plays the piano), and the film chronicles their tentative relationship. Both are weighed down by plenty of baggage: his songs are fueled by a painful breakup, and she is a young mother who left her husband behind in her native country.

Personally i felt this is easily one of the best movies of 2007 And i like their catchy phrase:

How often do you find the right person ? ONCE

As for the song that led me to this movie, it’s called Falling Slowly by Glen Hansard and Marketa Irglova who were both the leading actor and actress. Within the first few plucks of the guitar i felt this song is somewhat special

Here’s the video of the song. Acoustic rawks !

If you haven’t heard about her, Katharine McPhee was the runner up for American Idol in season five and i have to say, she’s really hot. Besides having the looks and the body, Katharine definitely can sing and this was shown when she sung Over the Rainbow. To read that she was bulimic not so long ago, makes me wonder if she can maintain her current body. Enough with the boring introduction, here are a few pictures of her.

I came across this particular advertisement where the Biggest Loser was in a Got Milk Ad

… and i would love to see Katharine McPhee in a ‘Got Milk’ advertisement for one particular reason, tsk tsk. Since i can’t find any got milk ad on her, i created one for the fun of it. Hopefully i don’t get sued -_-”

So are you in the McPheever already ? or not

Can’t get this song out of my head !

Closer – Travis

I’ve had enough, of this parade.
I’m thinking of, the words to say.
We open up, unfinished parts,
Broken up, its so mellow.

And when I see you then I know it will be next to me
And when I need you then I know you will be there with me
Ill never leave you…

Just need to get closer, closer,
Lean on me now,
Lean on me now,
closer, closer,
Lean on me now,
Lean on me now.

Keep waking up (waking up), without you here (without you here).
Another day (another day), another year (another year).
I seek the truth (seek the truth), we set apart (we set apart)
Second base, a second chance.

And when I see you then I know it will be next to me
And when I need you then I know you will be there with me
Ill never leave you…

Just need to get closer, closer,
Lean on me now,
Lean on me now,
closer, closer,
Lean on me now,
Lean on me now (lean on me now).

And when I see you then I know it will be next to me
And when I need you then I know you will be there with me
Ill never leave you… just need to get…

Just need to get closer, closer,
Lean on me now,
Lean on me now,
closer, closer,
Lean on me now,
Lean on me now (lean on me now).

closer, closer… closer, closer.
