X-Factor 08

Just got back from BC's place. We went out for lunch today and it was a buffet lunch. OMFG! It was sooooo nice! It was a good price too! 4.95pounds (the price of one portion of fried rice is about 3.80pounds at Chinese take-aways) per person! They had Peking duck, delicious ribs, sweet sour chicken (hearts but can't beat Msia's), and many more! I even had ice-cream!!! We left at 3pm..that's 2hours spent there! LOL!

After that we went window shopping and head back to their place to prepare for...X-Factor! LOL! This is the first episode I watch on tv of this season...because co-incidentally Britney Spears was performing =p LOL! Anyway, the contestants were supposed to sing two songs, the first is a Britney song and the second is an American Classic song. Everyone did bad on the Britney song choice. It was so much harder for the guys, Eoghan (the pretty boy) and JLS [who're "Vain" (Chan, 2008), "Manufactured" (Ho,2008) and "Gay" (Lim, 2008)] because Britney's songs are very girly.

Anyhow, it got me thinking...no matter how bad she screwed up her life, there could only be one Britney Spears! Proven! People can't sing her songs as good as herself! Alexandra and Ruth are very powerful singers in the competition but they couldn't even do it. Yes, Britney screwed up her life but she'll still have a place in my heart...I was a fan of hers when I was young! Sentimental! LOL! So yes, people say she is a bad singer but I will seriously have to disagree with that! Her voice is one of a kind (feminine, seducing, distinct) that no one can imitate her or sing her songs any better. Her swift dance moves (when she was in the lime light) makes it even better! She performed in X-Factor today and boy, I was shocked!

She did bad! Like her other tour performances she did in France and somewhere. She did the exact same choreography and very little dance moves. Her performances now is somehow lacking passion and energy. Sad to say really...I thought she is back with more to show (I don't mean physically, she's already doing it!) in her performances. Well she's gone through a lot and it is tough for her, I respect that. But lets hope she'll produce another platinum album?

Anyway, Ruth got voted out. Sad. She's got strong vocals but like she says, it is just the beginning for her. You go girl! xx

Work 'later today'...ergh! Smelly shoes!
