The pop princess is back

I have a confession to make. I love Britney Spears!!! She may not have a great vocal, but her songs are fabulous!

As many of you may know, her new album Blackout had hit stores for quite some time now. I have to say, this album is different from her previous effort. This album is more of a dance album than pop, a genre she being known for. Still, it is a great album. Ignore the media frenzy about her being drugged, brought to hospital, fighting for child custody in court, etc2, just go and grab this album and you will know what I mean. Just like one of the review I read in newspaper said, ‘this album brings out the pole dancer in you’. Haha!!

There are 12 tracks in it with 2 singles already playing in radio, Gimme More and Piece Of Me. My fave track has to be Break The Ice, in fact maybe the best song ever from Britney. I read in Internet that this song will probably become her next single. Finger cross! No lyrics inside the leaflet however, which is what I expected. But there are nice pics of Britney inside, including the controversial one in which she sits on a priest.

Other tracks include Radar, Freakshow, Toy Soldier, Hot as Ice & Perfect Lover. All tracks make you want to jump on your feet and dance. There is also one ballad, the last track in the album, titled Why Should I Be Sad written by Pharrell Williams.

What are you waiting for, go buy Blackout now!

A new star is born

Congratulation to Ayu for winning One in A Million season 2 last night. She wowed us with her great vocal and she deserves to win.

I’m not her fan but I do believe that she has the star quality to become a great singer.
She has such a great voice and her performances are filled with emotions. Love it.
As for Shila (runner-up) and Sarah (2nd runner-up), I really hope they keep on singing because both of them are great singers. I’m not a fan of Shila before but after the Grand Finale last night, I am officially her fan now. I was rooting for her last night you know. I like her unique voice and colourful performances, and I will support her like I support my fave contestants from previous season, Farah Asyikin.

For Sarah, I always like her songs (I mean her singles) and her voice. She will definitely become stronger after this competition.

All in all, it was a great night. But enough with singing competition, I want Survivor Asia version!!!

The Devil is here!

Yes, the game that everyone (well, almost) is waiting for is finally here. Devil May Cry 4 is in stores now. I don’t know about Malaysia market, but you can always order them from the game stores.

This game had received good reviews. Famitsu rate it 35 out of 40, Game Pro rate it 4.5 out of 5 and Game Informer rate it 9 out of 10. It also features a new main protagonist named Nero with Dante still making appearances in nearly half of the 20 missions. He not just shows his face you know, he’s playable. There are also 4 new characters including a new female lead, Kyrie, and 2 returning characters, Lady & Trish.

So, for DMC fans, grab this game now. Order it if you cannot find it anywhere. Is it worth the wait? You decide.

More Idol news

Four more contestants are out! They are Jason Yeager & Robbie Carrico from the boys and Alexandrea Lushington & Alaina Whitaker from the girls. It was an emotional ride for the contestants as we can see some of them were crying (you just can’t help it when it comes to elimination round).

One more week before the final 12 is revealed. The competition is going to get tougher as the talents are strong…and I must say that David Archuleta gave one of the most stunning performances that night. What a show! I may not be his fan before but after that performance, I am now!

It’s Happening!

The Happening is a new movie by M. Night Shyamalan, the brilliant person who brought us The Sixth Sense. Strange name for a movie. Anyway, you can see the trailer at Yahoo! Movie page. There are few visuals that are quite disturbing (like when people start jumping from tall buildings…scary…). Still, I can’t wait to see this movie because it has some kind of mystery element in it. Some people may have doubt as Night previous effort (like The Village & Lady In The Water) are not fan favorites. I didn’t watch Lady but I really like Village, it’s a great love story for me. The marketing should really promote it as a drama movie rather than a horror movie.

Back to Happening, there is some kind of ‘disease’ causing chaos as people start commiting suicide! Not much info can be obtained from the trailer. All we can see is people being evacuated and confused (as we are), and people (who are ‘infected’) acting in bizarre ways. However, as confusing as it may look, it really makes this trailer interesting…it makes people want to know more.

For those who are curious, just click the link below to go to the movie page on Yahoo! okay. ;-)
