One Sorry For Each Star.

Hello Sleepyhead,

I may be far away. I may not know everything that goes on around you or in your heart… but please know that I’m always here to patiently understand and do whatever I can to make you feel better.

Love,
Me

Thank You for the smiles
and the tears,
for happiness
that calms my inner fears,
for the words
I failed to express,
for transforming
my life’s mess.
I know there are things
left unsaid,
but You know
every thought in my head.
You’ve seen
my broken and wounded heart,
and there you were
from the very start.

You’ll forever be my sleepyhead.

I miss you terribly
that somehow,
more often lately,
you slip into my dreams.

How I see your hand
clasped in mine,
holding ever so tightly
with a smile and a sigh.

~ Ann Aldaba

You’re the only person who’s ever called me “princess,” and it makes my being shiver and my heart flutter.

The day we met,
frozen I held my breath.
Right from the start,
I knew that I’d found a home for my heart.

Your love is my turning page.

Here is the link of the whole article written by someone who was able to snag tickets to the Idols Give Back show, which was recorded Sunday night, I presume. Kewl.

http://popwatch.ew.com/popwatch/2008/04/idol-gives-back.html

Here are a few random tidbits of the show that I could recollect after reading the whole thing..

Of course, there were a number of celebrity appearances, like Brad Pitt, Jimmy Kimmel, Miley Cyrus, Annie Lennox, Reese Witherspoon, Gloria Estefan, California’s First Lady Maria Shriver, a few past American Idol contestants such as Elliot Yamin and Jordin Sparks, Robin Williams, Snoop Dogg, Fergie, John Legend, and Heart (publicity much because of their song “Alone…”), but most stars opted for the pretaped video segment. Even presidential hopefuls John McCain, Hillary Clinton, and Barack Obama each recorded a short video for the event.
The first act: the So You Can Dance You Can Dance peeps from the past three seasons performed to the tune of Rihanna’s “Don’t Stop The Music,” and then the Top Eight emerge to sing a few verses of the song. Some of the eight looked a tad tacky, some were admirable at best.
Miley Cyrus sings “Good and Broken” and “See You Again.”
Carrie Underwood looks stunning in a lovely, iridescent gown as she sings George Michael’s “Praying In Time.”
The last act, and the shocker for most people (including me, I guess), is the Top Eight, dressed in white, singing “Shout to the Lord” with a gospel choir. David Cook and Carly Smithson sing the last parts of the song. Hmm. This would be amazing. To God be the glory!

Unbelievable? Yes.
Some say A.I. is diving into the whole inspirational theme a bit too much.
At the moment, I’m just loving it.
Just waiting for Wednesday.

The Top Four?

                                              The Final Performance Of the Night.

Here are some of the tidbits from tonight’s (April 1, 2008) show.

Ryan Seacrest starts off the show with an April Fools’ Day prank: the show is preempted due to a League of Voice Coaches situation and Simon is performing instead.. or something like that. I can’t remember. It was funny, but you would kind of expect it.

This week’s theme is all about the legendary Dolly Parton. Here are my reviews of each finalist..

Brooke White was good. It wasn’t a stand-out performance. It was a bit plain. Her voice is absolutely unique, but she could have made a risk and tried to create a more diverse sound.
David Cook was cool, as always. I liked his own arrangement. Made the performance very pure. Loved his new haircut, too. He looks even better.
Ramiele Malubay was alright. I’m almost giving up on her. She could have chosen a better song, like what Syesha sang. I’d rather listen to Charice Pempengco at the moment.
Jason Castro was sadly predictable. I have to admit that it was way better than his performance last week, esp. when he belted out a few high notes. It was good for him.
Carly Smithson was great. I loved her sweet voice and she smiled! I hate Simon’s comment about her wardrobe. I actually love how she dresses. Very rocker chic.
David Archuleta was awesome! I loved his amazing rendition of “Smoky Mountain Memories;” it was full of hope, inspiration, and heartfelt emotion. A must download. I just wish I could upload it somewhere -__- Oh yeah, I wish the wardorbe people dressed him up differently now. He tends to wear tan jackets a lot, but if it’s his style, then let it be.
Kristy Lee Cook did fine. Since Dolly Parton’s songs always has a country feel to it, she did well, but not too well. She looked pretty, too, I guess. By the way, I’ve always noticed that her eyes have no emotion whatsoever. I wonder why.
Syesha Mercado was okay. The way she sang “I Will Always Love You” was a Whitney Houston cover more than anything since she didn’t really make it her own. However, the last high note she sustained was rather impressive.
Michael Johns was good as well. He put more soul in his performance. I am just annoyed with his gestures when he sings. Maybe it’s just me. Lol.

In general, the show was pretty good, but since it was only an hour, it seemed pretty quick. Anticipating the results show tomorrow. My predictions for the bottom three are Kristy Lee Cook, Syesha Mercado and Jason Castro. Mhmm. This is just my opinion. It’s really hard to guess since everyone is getting better and better every week.
That’s all.
Till next time.
(:

 

 

i hold on
to our smallest conversations
and our silent words,
and keep it in my heart.
i quietly wait for the next moment
when we can share
our hopes
and our thoughts,
and reminisce about the golden days
we try not to forget.
i apologize
for running out of things to say,
or asking too many questions.
i guess that’s just how i am.
i know our worlds may be different,
and a part of us may have changed for the better,
but i don’t want to move further away
and simply sigh about the past.
yet somehow,
no matter how far away we are
or how little time we seem to have,
we still become a bit closer than before
and i guess i don’t have to worry,
because something tells me
we will never drift apart.
