Day 4. Couple of days late.. I was sick ok!

I was sick, so i didn`t fellt like blogging. I have responsibilities here.. just like work, so, when i'm sick i refuse to blog. Lot of things got done while i was sick, i watched 3.5 seasons of californication, and when i got really bored with that or fellt ok enough to do some active stuff i played some wow on my newly 80 dinged DK. Then again, playing warcraft when ur sick doesn't feel right. It feels like your not supposed to have fun when you are sick or something.

Saturday evening i went with a friend to a singing talent contest. She sings pretty damn good, and being a music lover since i pretty much can remember i was suprised by the vocal abilities of some of the contestants. My friend sang Fallin' by Alicia Keys and properly nailed it. Spot on and she went through to the finals. There were a few others who could sing quite nice and then this 12 year old girl came up and started to sing some Dutch musical songs. Now, being dutch i should appreciate Dutch spoken songs, but to be honest i hate it. Deeply. Musicals aren't my thing either so it was doomed to be really bad before she even started. I had a bit of hope that it wouldn't be as bad as i thought it would be.. but it turned out to acknowledge my predictions. God she was bad... Really false and out of ritm, and to top it off, really loud.

Sure, she was cute and all.. but being a music lover i have the right to be a critic. Look, if you can sing really good, and eventho it's not my favourite genre, i'm the last person to judge you. But if you can't,  then imho you just need to STFU and GTFO. I suppose i can't blame her - but should aim my furious frustration and disbelief towards her parents for probably making her sing at these contests. When she was done with her act, people actually applauded for her.. mostly old people tho who just applauded for her because she was all cute and shit. But come on people!! She was worse then a ordinary dog that sings allong with the radio.. (check youtube for reference material).

Then this women came up and told us she was going to sing Three days in a row by Anouk. A little bit of joy got a hold of me, cause i really like Anouk and specially this song.. And then the music kicked in, adrenaline started rushing through my veins, i was filled with excitement and anticipation to what was comming. She started the first couple of lines and my face went from :-D to :'-( . She brutally ASSRAPED Anouk by covering that song in such a way, there should be a award for it. Her way of covering a really good song was a piece of art itself. Somehow she was under the influence of some type of grass i think, every note she didn't made got replaced with loud, i repeat LOUD squeeking of something that got near the supposed to be reached note. I was really dissapointed and started kicking my legs back and forth out of pure frustration. Then my friend sang another song and all was better again. She sang Work it out by Beyonce. I was all happy and was enjoying the evening again. Then when she was done this chick came up and sang I will always love you by Whitney Houston. Everybody knows this song, it's one of the hardest songs to sing, and there are a few people on this hump of earth that can properly sing it. Or get near to sing it correctly. Music kicked in, she started singing, and well.. it was actually really good. She didn't try to copy Whitney, no she sang it on her own pace, her own way and within the reach of her vocal powers.. It was pleasant to hear and for the first time that night i was stunned.

The girl herself wasn't a good looker, which enhances my urge to make fun of people like her that think they have a talent, but she proved the fact that i am a typical stereotype thinker sometimes. Remember that big Afro girl from i think Brittain's got Talent?? Well i instantly reminded myself watching that youtube clip.. She was good, not spectatulair, but just good. What a surprise! She had a really clear voice, good pronounciation and timing.

A really nice end of the evening.

Sunday was a bit of  a offday.. didn't do much on warcrack.. gained a couple of wellneeded badges, talked to Bollebetty a bit about some gear enhancements and wrote them down.. Watched some Californication episodes and went to bed..

Talk to you guys tommorows.

Bye..


P.S.

I freaking hate to admit it, and this goes entirely against my feeling, but i kinda start to like all the christmass stuff on the radio... But not to much yet tho, for now i still think Christmass is gay and overrated..
