Well, basically, it was amazing. She completely captivated me for the 90 minutes of her set - her voice is so beautiful and resonant. I loved the setlist - I knew almost all the songs (the only ones with which I wasn't familiar were Mary (because I don't have Flaming Red) and the two covers), and she did three songs from 1000 Kisses (which is ( Read more... )

First of all, YAY ZHOO! I'm so relieved she won, and happy that she's ended an amazing year in such stylish fashion. And of course we don't mean her adidas blandocity. Speaking of adidas, though, what is with her throwing in 'impossible is nothing' into interviews nowadays?! Talk about product placement. Luckily, I wasn't awake to follow the ( Read more... )

Out of curiosity (and time-killingness), I went to check out what the Wreckers are up to. Turns out the girls are going back solo, Michelle has a new message board up, and may have an album out next year (read: 2010). I guess they changed their minds about the Wreckers being what they wanted to do forever, huh? because I definitely remember ( Read more... )

I don't like using the same userpic twice, but a double-donut defeat (alliterative delight!) of the last player to beat her? Zhoo is deserving. Now win the tournament or I will be very disappointed ( Read more... )

It's been a long week - parents came in early Monday morning, editing course application due in Wednesday, work work work... but the weekend is here and I get to sleep in tomorrow. I can't say I'm thrilled about my parents being here, but it'll be over soon. Course application was bleak - slept a total of ( Read more... )

I looked through the entire list of moods and found that this really did suit my current mood, even if I've used it about a thousand times before ( Read more... )

This is not going to be the most profound post. Yes, career crisis and all that, but what does it all matter when Australian Idol is back in town? I wasn't too convinced about this season, but after last night, I officially have a favourite. Ben McKenzie doesn't have the strongest voice, but he's such a sweetheart and he is performing all these ( Read more... )

I suppose the Zhoo icon might be more appropriate, but Snoopy hasn't made an appearance in a while.

OMG I am sooooooo thrilled that Justine beat Serena. At the US. At night. And Jon Wertheim says this:

1. Versatility trumps power. While she's no cupcake, Justine Henin may not have the brute force of other players. But she compensates with the ( Read more... )
