When Ryan announced that David Cook was the winner of 2008 American Idol, I just couldn’t believe my ear, because as far as I am concerned, David Archulata should be crowned the champion instead of David Cook.
Judge Randy said D.A.’s performance was flawless and unbelievably molten hot, and his vocal was crazy, and he was what all American Idols were about.
Judge Paula said D.A.’s performance was stunning, and it reached the culmination of the night. Even Sarcastic Judge Simon Cowell said D.A. was absolutely the winner of 2008 American Idol. D.A. got the highest evaluation from the Judges, and got the loudest scream from the girls. He was endowed with the all the quality which was required to be American Idol, but out of everyone’s expectation, D.A. was not the winner. Even the fans of D.C. felt shocked, because they’ve never thought that D.C. will win.
Just like Simon said before, “it is not a competition of talent; it is a competition of popularity.” Yeah, D.C. got most of the votes from American people, and he should be the winner, no matter how he performed in the finale.
Everything was just so unpredictable recently in the American audition, such as:
1. From 5 to 4 elimination in American Idol: Brook White was out and Syesha was in.
2. The champion battle in America’s next top model: Anya was out and Whitney was the winner (I don’t like Whitney at all, neither her personality nor her appearance).
3. D.C. was the winner of 2008 American Idol and D.A. was just the second place finalist.
And I am gonna say,” Maybe we will be the next Chinese Idols.” Haha, don’t let go our dream

“And He said unto them, Go ye into all the world, and preach the gospel to every creature. “

Doomsday, I have only heard of the term in fictions but never thought of it in reality. After the earthquake, I had been thinking of the doomsday. All the civilizations that had been created, constructed and proud of by human beings for thousands of years were destroyed within only several seconds. Everything seems gone. Hopeless are the people who survived the disaster.

Doomsday, it is just a movie. I was determined to watch it with curiosity.
As it is entitled, the movie tells a story of doomsday in 2012.Earthquakes, volcanoes eruption, temperature fiercely increasing, were the preludes of the doomsday in the film. “The earth rotation is accelerating its speed. Once it stops, the earth and all the creatures on it will be doomed to death.” Modern human beings, all the scientists in the U.S gather to come up with any solutions. But nobody is powerful enough to prevent it happening.
However, Almighty Lord can. Throughout the movie, it keeps propagandizing a religious thought to the audiences. Several people from every walk of life assemble in the Maya Pyramid by some uncertain force. And then, a new life is given in the holy temple. Maya Pyramid which was located in Latin America and Maya Calendar the miraculous mysteries that has been spread all over the world, in this movie, are a vital clue. When scientists can’t figure out a way to save the earth, when our only habitant is on the edge of being destroyed, it is the Maya Prophets that saved the mankind.
“You’ve been chosen as the messengers of God to spread his word that to non-believers left on earth. Miracle of life brought us together reminding us of God’s grace and power. There’s still a world out there. The God has given us a chance to show that world’s eternal love. This isn’t an end. It’s just the beginning.” This is the monologue in the last scene of the movie. The intent is obvious. Again, religion, the controversial topic is repeated in the movie to preach the Christ.
Actually, I am a non-believer of any religion. But I show reverence to any form of religion. When human being cannot handle the issue, they sell their souls to the immortals with the hope that they can be saved by the God.
Let’s pray.

This is a story, fictional, novel and sort of mythic. Alex Tyler and Kate Forster are the protagonists.
Imagine writing to the future, chatting with a person from the future, being in love with a person from the future. Via a mailbox, a magical lake house, an intelligent dog, a man and a woman in two times are connected.
Love can not really be parted by time or space. It can happen to anybody, even with a person from the future. If a man and a woman are destined to be together, then any obstacles are doomed to being eliminated in the way to love. Even death cannot tear them apart.
Everybody has his/her ideal one, but it’s quite hard to distinguish the only one from the crowds. Many people are waiting for the right one, but always ignore those who are taking care of them by their sides. They may miss the last bus everlastingly which may leave them regret for the rest of their life.

Today I have a strong desire to write something about the Vampire.
The moment I fell in love with this kinda species should date back to watching the movie “THE UNDERGROUND” with my favourite actress Kate Beckinsale playing the heroine in it.She is just one beauty of the youngest generation of the Vampire.So it’s quite easy for me to become fond of this movie and further more the fantacy of the Vampire.

Actually,as a fan of the American movies I’ve watched several classic movies of the Vampire such as the well-known “INTERVIEW WITH THE VAMPIRE–VAMPIRE CHRONICLES” played by lots of handsome men:Tom Cruise,Brad Pitt and Antonio Banderas and even the notable Spidy’s “girlfriend” Kirsten Dunst’s very young form!At that time I’ve already paid attetion to the Vampire for their mysterious and noble ancestry.They are always beautiful and attractive–no matter males or females.They are always fast in speed and quiet as shadows.However in this movie,the Vampire is not quite a positive role for they’ve done an array of crimes–killing people one by one…As a result,the emotion towards the Vampire is not that deep.It only stayed at the level of “interested and curious” and in fact a little “attracted and attached” and even infatuated with that miraculous species.wooh…That can be called–”a bud” I think. After watching “DRACULA 2000″ and “THE UNDERGROUND”,the situation changed. Surprisedly,I found that there still remain kind Vampires with warm hearts in their cold body–they know what motality is!This really influenced me and took my heart with them as well–I began to set my affections upon them…Of course they’re still gorgous n grace from the outside!Sometimes I’m really confused about how did the directors find these pretty faces.They are always good-looking indeed!Everytime I watched these movies I found it was just an enjoyable visual feast!
Oh God!When can you help me to let them hear my summon of request of becoming a company of them?!I do wanna be one among them in their Kingdom!

The film talked about a child who could hear the music everywhere—in the wind,in the air in the light.He was a musical quiz kid.All he wanted to do was to use music to let himself be found by his parents—father was good at playing guitar while mother played a melodious cello.
I should say the child was remarkable.He could hear and write down the music even in the street as if someone calling out him.
It was really a good film that required you see it with patience. Something pretty moving,crazy, and, I don’t know how to express, maybe fantastic and all.
Fortunately, the child eventually found his parents or we said he was found in the way of the music he wrote himself and his courageous performance as well.
It is absolutely a music that is worth seeing a second time.Friends, if you are not so busy, do see it.Perhaps all of you can learn many things from it.
“The music is all around us.All we have to do is listen.”

And from that frustration, Oldman’s friends slowly ease into a state of semi-belief. They toy with the possibility that Oldman is telling the truth. They probe for more answers, but this time with minds that seek confirmation. They hang on his every word, hypnotized by his presence, eager to get a glimpse of the complete truth.

Is Oldman telling the truth? Or is he really an exceptional story teller who has mastered the art of persuasionThat is something you’ll find out when you watch the movie all the way to the end. I’m not going to spoil it for you because the subtle plot twist at the end is just way cool.

I haven’t seen good movies like this in a while. While I was watching it, I thought Oldman would make a terrific marketer or salesman. Why? Because he is performing persuasion on a whole new level.

It’s not about selling an idea, its about personifying the idea and making people believe in you first as a person, which secondarily validates the idea. Oldman isn’t hard selling benefits in order to get his audience to believe in him.

He opens with an outrageous statement, which naturally grabs attention and then withdraws in a reactive mode to receive the barrage of expected questions. By replying to each question with an answer that reveals a little more about himself, he provokes more queries and continued interest.

He observes each participant and monitors their comfort levels. How is she taking my message? What does she want to hear next? He criticizes himself for being unclear and acknowledges the implausibility of his assertions. He softens his arguments by throwing up caveat emptors and multiple disclaimers.

The addition of excellent listening skills and a substantial dose of empathy make Oldman an exceptional persuader. It is difficult to dismiss his claims completely.

Ebony (one of the competitor) chose to quite the competition, because she felt that she was so over-stressed, and she couldn’t stand up with being criticized by the panel of judges. She gave up the chance of running towards
America’s next top model though the judges all thought that she had the potential to be .She lets the dream which every girl wants so bad slip away from herself. But pls note that she is also a very strong person, whose personality was formed by the fact that her mother was addicted to cocaine when she was young and she was raised by her grandma. Even she was strong sometimes, but she was vulnerable at last.

Saleisha(one of the competitor), she is a very sweet girl and was always optimistic through the whole competition.
Of course, she is originally an experienced model which is her obvious advantage. The judges said that” she is everyday girl next door”. She wants her dream of being America’s next top model to be reality so bad, and she tried so hard. Of course, every girl tried so hard through the competition. At last, she won the competition.

Some girls played tricks in the challenge in order to win it. Though they acted like friends off the competition, they
were enemies in the competition.

Just like Beonca(one of the competitor) said ” I am not here to make friends, I am here win.” It sounds more honest than the domestic auditions, ‘cause auditors in China always like to say “friendship first, competition second.” Huh, if you don’t want to win it, why do you join it? Don’t be so hypocritical.

Then do you wanna be on top? Actually, I want sometimes. But now what I really want is to lead a happy life. No need to be on top, but one should always be happy.

Just write down what I think after watchin’ America’s next top model.

End

“Wanna be on top”? a classical saying from Tyra Banks, the hostess of American famous entertainment  programme “America’s Next Top Model”.
Yeah, of course, everybody wanna be on top, but not everybody can. What makes a person so excellent that he can be on top?I think it is attitude.

Remember the famous saying “attitude is everything”? Sorry, I don’t know who says it, but I know what he means it.
I’ve been watching “America’s next top model, circle 9″ these days, and I really get a lot from it.

Just like Janeh (one of the competitor) said:” It is not a competition of models, it is a competition of personality.” She was so overwhelmed, ‘cause she always thought that she was pretty and better than anyone. But standing together with so many outstanding girls from all over the country, she was just nothing. Especially, critics from the judges made her feel even worse. Her status of eldest sister in her family endows her with really strong personality: trying to protect herself by being sarcastic to the others.
Huh, even this kind of girl felt lost in this competition, ‘cause she was not who she really was and she just tried to be what the judges wanted her to be. She felt confused and collapsed. Though she became the top three, she couldn’t be on top.

To be continued…

I downloaded the actual personed detcetive Conan several days ago and suffered it with my friend today. To be honest, it disappointed me heavily, especiall the role of Xiaolan. When she appeared, she really made me burst out laughing, cause this Xiaolan is horribly fat and looks like a Chinese actress who played a girl named Yuanyuan in a comedy called “I love my family”. Xinyi is another failure role. He has a bad character in this movie. He is too arrogant to get along with others. However, there are some good points from the other roles, like Yuanzi. She is so much like the original role of the Cartoon and Maoli, his face expressions are salacious enough. In a word, this film is regarded as a junk movie by me and the gut is not attrahent at all. I decide to delet it from my movie collections.
If you guys have no idea what I’m talking about, you are definitely not a Japanese comic fan.
