perhaps the best

The name is Khairul. Would do fine with Khai or Kerol [kay-roll] - with proper pronunciation that is.

May have caused a traumatic experience to the nurses who were there when I graced the world on the 14th of June, 21 years ago.

I reside at the great eastern side of Singapore. At an estate named after a water containment facility. Go figure!

A left-hander. However, I function more like a right. And sometimes left of course.

Owns a Class 3 driving licence.

Have been playing the saxophone for 8 years. Currently a Baritone Saxophonist in the Philharmonic Youth Winds.

Being and socialising with people occupy whatever free time I might have.

Boredom is sadly pathetic - would be just staring at my ceiling.

And recently, graduated from Nanyang Academy of Fine Arts where I pursued a diploma in Arts Management, majoring in Performing Arts.

hey bloggie..

so i guess today's another entry.. well.. today din do much. was practically rotting at home.. nothing interesting to blog today..

so let's talk about the show that everybody's talking about..


-= AMERICAN IDOL =-

i was being impatient... so instead of waiting for the Channel5 telecast of AI, i turned on Channel 18 on the set-up box.. and watch it on STARworld.. :))

i thank dad for signing up SCV.. so..... watched it..


the show was interestin' though.. they showed a video of each and every one of the idols when they went back to their hometown.. its cool man..

- Melinda was given a street name [ Melinda Doolittle Way ]
- Blake was given.. er wait. i cant rmb.. lol
- Jordin [Beyonce look-alike] was given a 'Jordin Sparks Day' .. cool! a day where its called after ur name.

Imagine, u browse thru the calendar n u see " [insert your name] day "..
it cant get any better for this ppl...

so... Elliot Yamin performed [gonna get to that in jus a bit] his song from his album, "Wait For You" .. then followed by Maroon 5 who performed "Makes Me Wonder".

and so.. it was results.. the 1st idol to get thru into the finals was Jordin Sparks.. hmm.. well.. i think that's expected.. she's young.. she can sing.. n have i told u ? she looks like Beyonce when she gives that stare.. I'M DEAD SERIOUS.. she's like the plump-version of Beyonce. :))

then it was between Blake and Melinda.. after the suspense, Ryan Seacrest announced that Melinda was voted off the show..

i went.. " WHAT THE HELL! " ... she deserves a place in the finals.. hmm.. aniways, i'm not complaning that Blake got into the Finals... still...

anyhoos.. all 3 idols were great. no... better than great.. in fact spectacular.. each and every one of them ARE unique in their own way..
Melinda definitely gonna have a record label even if she din get into the finals..

i guess.. its a win-win situation.

SO . . . .

the two finalist performing at the Kodak Theatre for the finals are Blake and Jordin.

i'm looking forward to the song that's gonna be their 1st record label. hope its not those cocky type.. and ultimately, i'm looking forward to the WINNER of American Idol Season 6 ! !


rmb when i sed i'm gonna get to Elliot Yamin? well, after this para is all about him.. why am i posting bout him? keep on reading.. :))

Elliot Yamin is an American singer who was the 3rd-place finalist on the 5th season of American Idol.

Yamin stands out in American Idol as a contestant whose exceptional talent propelled him to his respectable finishing place despite personal hardships, lack of star image, little entertaining experience, and nonadherence to the pop genre usually represented on the show. During one weekly rehearsal, Elliott was told by guest coach Stevie Wonder that he should definitely pursue a career in music. Simon Cowell even stated that he thought Yamin was "potentially the best male vocalist" ever on American Idol and later, after Yamin's A Song for You performance, he declared that it was a "vocal masterclass." Cowell also said after Yamin's performance of "Moody's Mood For Love" that Yamin's song selection might be "too cool for the room."

his new album

Elliott Yamin's debut is so agreeable and well-executed it may well convert hardened R&B experts--the kind who'd normally distance themselves from a disc with a TV pedigree. With sincerity and a voice that vaults itself to places no talent-show contestant should be able to go, Yamin bares his soul here in a way that would do his hero, Donny Hathaway, proud. Tracks like "Take My Breath Away" and "You Are the One" find him twisting a wrench around love-stained lyrics; "I'm the Man" and "Find A Way" flow with hat-in-hand grace (and, in the case of the latter, a scat worthy of a vintage jazz stage); and opener "Movin' On" immortalizes the season five judges'-table words of Paula Abdul: Ellliott Yamin is "one funky white boy." As he proves with this five-star album, he is also among the most gifted artists ever to a turn a stint on the show into a recording career.

The following playlist are the songs from his album. There's two albums (i tink).. the normal one n there's another which is the "Deluxe Edition".. the Deluxe edition has extra songs it in.. Just as nice as the ones below.. feel free to find those songs on Imeem. :))



to listen to the playlist, kindly stop the current music that's playing now and simply press the play button of this playlist.





ok.. that two paragraphs its not my own words cos look at the time [1:30am].. so i literally copy-paste. so... i 1st heard his single on today's show of AI, "Wait For Me" .. i rmb hearing Ryan saying that its probably the best album ever? but after hearing him sing.. i went,, "hmm.. not bad"

so i immediately went online to look for his album. i did the fast way. as u can see, thru Imeem.. well.. if i were to give a rating to this album, i wuld giv 5 out of 5 stars.. hard to bliv? listen to the songs urself.. RnB for him is unique but he sure does well in that genre.. way to go elliot!

so, i guess i'm gonna end my entry here for now..
till then...

keep taggin'
