Inspired by the Slums and the Dog

So, here I go again. I made a new gif inspired by Slumdog Millionaire and Anoop Desai. I think that this is too simple compared to the first one I made, but I like it.

Anoop Time!

I just got home and I was tinkering with this program called Photoscape. My sister said last night that this could help me make a gif. So, I made one. Its not fancy. Its very simple but it gets the message straight and clear. 

AI Campaign: Anoop Desai's Angel of Mine

If you still don't have a copy of Anoop Desai's Angel of Mine, please download a copy at iTunes it only costs $0.99. If you do have a copy, then 'gift' it to your friends. 

Early Birthday Present

My birthday is not until March but, someone already gave me a present. And, I am ecstatic about it. I am totally floored, dumbfounded, and excited about this gift.

I e-mailed my cousin in Canada, Ate Joanne, to buy me a song from iTunes. I thought that it was worth the try. There's no harm in trying. I wasn't really expecting any reply because they have their own lives and I understand that they are busy but, I was wrong. I received an e-mail from her the following day and 'gifted' me Anoop Desai's Angel of Mine. I was thrilled when I received the e-mail. Words cannot express how receiving this music was so euphoric. It felt like I was high or something. And, I am not exaggerating.

Thank you again Ate Joanne for this early gift.

Because of the fact that Anoop Desai was eliminated last Thursday, here is another Anoop video to satisfy your, well, my craving for more Anoop Desai. This video is of Anoop and the UNC Clef Hangers. They're singing I'll Make Love To You by Boyz II Men. Go ahead and melt. (WTH?)

Anoop's Angel of Mine

This video grabbed from YouTube was Anoop Desai together with the UNC Cleff Hangers singing Angel of Mine. I think this one's better than last night but nevertheless, his performance last night was still one of the better ones.

American Idol Season 8: Group 1 Performance Night

I was really disappointed last night when I saw Group 1 perform last night. I was expecting a lot from them and they failed to deliver. Here's what I thought about their performances:

1. Jackie Tohn :: She's an entertainer but I think she's over the top. She has a good voice but sometimes, its shrieky. Her movements on stage are distracting me. 5/10


2. Ricky Braddy :: His facial expressions were distracting me - it's off. He has a great voice but Elliott Yamin's version of this song is a whole lot better - its very difficult to even come close. I agree with Simon that he has no star quality - YET. I don't understand why everybody is going crazy with his performance. I agree its way better than the average but I can't seem to connect with him. 6/10


3. Alexis Grace :: I think it was the wrong song for her but she definitely could sing. She needs to build her stage presence but, she nailed it! It was for me the start of Season 8. 7/10


4. Brent Keith :: He's a cutie. I was not feeling it but has potential; I think it is forgettable. I agree with Kara that it was very safe. Simon was so on point again with his comments with this man. 6/10


5. Stevie Wright :: Her nerves definitely got the best of her. It was the wrong song for her and she totally ruined the song. She was just all over the place. She's very awkward on stage. On a more positive note, I admire Stevie's composure during the whole time that the judges were giving their comments. If I were in her position, I would've cried all the way to the red room. 1/10 (Primarily, for the effort.)


6. Anoop Desai :: The background singer was horrible. Anoop was great! Out of all the singers today, he was the only one that I had a connection with. There were sharps but it was forgivable. He's very likable and charming. He has this extra something. I don't know what it is. As for Kara saying that he doesn't think Anoop has the chops to carry the riffs and everything, I totally disagree.  Maybe some Brian McKnight next time. 7.8/10


7. Casey Carlson :: Again, wrong song. She definitely fell flat. It was not good. I was cringing the whole time she was singing. 1/10


8. Michael Sarver :: I like this guy but he wasn't that good tonight. But it was definitely better than most of the girls. 6/10


9. Ann Marie Boskovich :: She's pretty and I really like her. It was better than I expected but it was all over the place. She has great potential but the song was too big for her. 4/10


10. Stephen Fowler :: Wrong song! His voice was definitely wasted on that song. He should've sang maybe a Stevie Wonder or any song other than that. Very pitchy. Paula was right, singing that song was the kiss of death. 4/10


11. Tatiana Del Toro :: Surprisingly, it was better than I expected. Weak start. She could sing but again, wrong song. When will they ever learn that Whitney Houston's songs are only for Whitney Houston? Her dress was very blah. I sort of missed the old Tatiana who is loud, funny, and sometimes irritating. 6/10


12. Danny Gokey :: His performance was the best of the night but it wasn't his best. He definitely could've done better. He really reminds me of David Cook - you know, a little bit cocky but could definitely be backed-up by his singing. As much as I like this guy, the three judges over praised him. I didn't feel the song as much as I felt Anoop's but, technically, he was a better singer than everybody else for the night. 8/10

Cetified Anoop Trooper!

 I've been checking out everything about Anoop Desai for the past 3 hours and I am really a fan of this guy. If you're watching American Idol Season 8, then you should've seen how good he really is. I can't wait to see him perform tonight. So, please watch American Idol later at Star World at 6:00 PM. 

By the way, here's a video of Anoop with his group (the UNC Clef Hangers) covering Brian McKnight's The Only One For Me. I wish the video was better but the audio can't lie. This guy is amazing. He has a great voice. Plus, he's hot in a geeky sort of way.
