hairspray movie soundtrack, yes!
listening, listening...
skeptical about zac efron...hmm...
comparing with obc...
will edit with review :)
can't wait for the movie!
eta: okay. i've listened to it almost in full i guess. it was pretty good! there are two new songs - ladies choice & new girl in town - both nice! the rest are just as good. i especially enjoyed michelle pfeiffer's rendition of miss baltimore crabs. if you like musicals, or are just into a good groove, get it. you'll be dancing from the first track to the very last! you won't be disappointed. rock on the 60s!
laura bell bundy seems like lotsa fun :) i think she's an amazing performer! sad they won zilch at this years tonys.
Just posted at DTS.
Haven't found time to record and stuff.
This is the gig at weixin's pad the other day.
i feel lousy.
my dancing shoes somehow gave me lotsa friction today, and some parts of my feet hurt. oh i know why. cos we practiced within the actual measurements of the stage, which is much larger, and i had to automatically take bigger steps, and thus much more friction burns. damm. this is not going to work. thankfully i found out early.
i'm feeling jaded today.
now.
since post-concert at xin's.
all the anticipation for the concert.
and now it's done and gone.
that's life.
what now?
what next?
ah today i was a bit divarish at rehersal. there was an incident and i reacted in a very nasty way. yeah it just made everyone affected feel rather unpleasant. like i mentioned, i like to jeopordise situations. cos all was going quite well. too well...
as for my gig today. how was i? i was trying too hard. i guess it's natural for me to strive and push hard. to emulate my favourite singers. but i think i might be injuring my throat in the process. maybe i shouldn't sing like that anymore. i can imagine if i ever get a real vocal instructor, how many mistakes she would point out and how many mistakes i must unlearn. i think whenever i choose ambitious songs, i push so hard and it actually makes my throat shrink and get constricted. i need to try to sign naturally and lightly. i don't know the technique yet, and that's why i'm using my throat to sing. it's really bad. i know. i stink. i'm just quite a good impersonator.
at least i made it through today. it was a really long day. thankfully i'm bleeding much less.
Hi guys! Weixin is having another "family concert", where friends and family get together and prepare some performance item each. Yes, she has some very musically inclined friends & family! So I was invited. This will be my second time. So I picked out two songs at the Esplanade Library the other day, and went to xin's place to practice two days ago.
The two songs are "Not For The Life Of Me" from Thoroughly Modern Millie, and "The Story Goes On" from Baby. Yes, both really ambitious songs. But I've hardly practiced! I now feel a bit discouraged, like I will definitely not bring justice to these two songs. And with my monthly shit cramps happening, I'm not at my finest form. I'm just gonna embarass myself! Sigh.
Anyway, here's one of the songs.

That tale that was much too dull to hold me
And this is the surge and the rush she said would show
Our story goes on
And now like a joke something moves to let me know
Our story goes on
My mother's mother felt and hers before
A chain of life began upon the shore of some dark sea has reached to me
And now I can see the chain extending
My child is next in the line that has no ending
And here I am full of life that her child will feel when I'm long gone
And the cities our story goes on
And on and on and on and on and on and on and on and on
My mother's mother felt and hers before
A chain of life began upon the shore of some primordial sea has
stretched through time to reached to me
And now I can see the chain extending
My child is next in the line that has no ending
And her am I feeling life that her child will feel when I'm long gone
Yes all that was is part of me as I am part of what's to be
And the cities our story goes on
And on and on and on and on
