american idol season 5 the encores - premieres may 19th...
this week's performances were so-so, my fav being chris' "renegade", especially the first two bars...
common tests - probably my first time i've felt so little confidence in two papers... hopefully this stops during next week's papers...
went for lunch at the village's crystal jade...
a break from my study routine, one which is seriously not showing the results i normally get...
anyways, lots of new music to sample, so here's my week's selections:
"Gallery" by mario vazquez, the american idol season 4 finalist who quit... he's really good, get his performance and audition files too, very impressive...
"What's left of me" by nick lachey... i had no idea he could sing so well, so yeah, jessica's not the only talented ex-newlywed...
"Halo" by haley james scott, aka bethany joy lenz, off the one tree hill soundtrack vol. 2... catchy, and from an OTH fan, just great...
"If i were you" by hoobastank, from their new album "every man for himself" hot on the heals of 2003's "the reason"... not bad, though it lacks the reason's oomph...
"Second place victory" and "Slideshow" from the one-album wonders, this day and age... alternative rock at its best...

good videos to sample:
the revamped "SOS" vid from rihanna that replaces the sports-themed older version...
"let U go" from ashley parker angel...
"gimme that" by chris brown - very oldies...

and of course, the fav tv serials:
one tree hill season 3 episode 20 - Everyday is Sunday Morning, pre-finale episode to Over the Hills and Far Away...
the OC season 3 episode 23 - The Party Favor
desperate housewives season 3 episode 20 - It wasn't meant to happen

do i do,
john.
