celebration cd is now available in singapore, the first asian market to release it. but i shall be waiting for the release of the celebration dvd, with 47 madonna music videos packed in it. if it's not too expensive, i'll buy it. actually i should be hoping it passes the censorship board first. please pass. please pass. hopefully "justify my love" and "erotica" didn't make it fail.
anyway the new song in celebration cd, "revolver" is so nice (at least to me) i immediately placed it at no.6 on my itunes playlist. the only other song that started higher was "4 minutes" at no.3. i liked it better than "celebration".
beyonce's halo is quite good, it has great singing and i like her ghostly singing about a minute before the end of the song. i am... sasha fierce might just end up the first beyonce album i would like to grade. even her newest single sweet dreams is also good, it's quite catchy.
also, i'm embarking on my first chinese song lyrics editting. i'm helping xujun dedicate fish leong's 丝路 to vernon because it sounds like 死路 when fish leong sings it. it's so difficult, like creating a poem. great lyrics is the pro of the chinese songs, while great tune is the pro of the english songs, unfortunately i listen more on tunes, that's why i like english songs more.
anyway in part with the term 3 english topic, education, i have decided to post this song of the day. read wikipedia to know what the title means and what the song's about.
45) Another Brick In The Wall Part II by Pink Floyd album: The Wall
hit level: hit
i think this video is another brick in the wall part 1, 2 and 3 combined. this video looks a little retarded, i see some potato heads.
the lyrics are more important.
Another Brick in the Wall Part II

241. MICHAEL JACKSON IS DEAD!!! HIStory: Past, Present and NO Future!!!
yay IT home learning for the whole of next week!!! speculation shows that maybe hon is a fan of michael jackson, thats why we have another week off for michael jackson greivance in the name of home learning.
R.I.P. michael jackson (it makes no difference if you're black or white la)
MICHAEL JACKSON IS DEAD!!! omg thats so sad, die of cardiac arrest. at such a young age. but bloody hell the ambulance took 10 min to arrive at his house and another 10 min to bring to the hospital no wonder die la. plus his plastic surgery so much, want to shock his heart also cannot (plastic is insulator). maybe cut open his chest also difficult.
somehow i was coincidentally able to give michael jackson a slot 44 on my song of the holiday.
the queen of pop grieves for the king of pop. madonna say "I can't stop crying over the sad news. I have always admired Michael Jackson. The world has lost one of the greats, but his music will live on forever! My heart goes out to his three children and other members of his family. God bless."
michaeljackson.com closed down temporarily with just a picture of michael jackson there with the words king of pop.
i just realised i posted about janet jackson yesterday. will janet die if i post about michael today?
i also just found out that farrah fawcett just dies after fighting cancer for so long, same day as michael jackson. she died of anal cancer.
instead of having some stupid asian values play, english drama club should have a play on michael jackson's life, save for his not really glorious sexuality.
songs nowadays should have more rhythm. more catchy beats would be more memorable. songs like "battlefield" and "obsessed" are definetely not catchy. if "obsessed" has a stronger background beat, and maybe have a little electronic distortion in the singing on purpose, it might sound more interesting. and the jonas brothers debut at no.1 on billboard 200 in the "trying times" of current society. but at least the first week sales is only about half of their previous album. i also just realised that black eyed peas' new single "i gotta feeling" debuted at no.2 on the hot 100 last week, only the 11th artist to have occupied the billboard hot 100 first 2 positions. "i gotta feeling" would probably replace "boom boom pow" in the next 2 weeks or so.
43) Rhythm Nation by Janet Jackson album: Janet Jackson's Rhythm Nation 1814
hit level: hit
i like this mv. the dance is so mechanical, quick and clear cut. if only janet jackson could still make this type of mv and dance like this, then her career got hope.
wow great graphics... this is the future madonna of the past. among all the futuristic fuzzy beats and weirdly transformed sound, im not sure what she's trying to sing, but i guess its her funny childish depiction of the universe that she feels under a trance?
most likely there will be it emergency exercise next week, so i have more time to slack.
i feel like posting an rsvp on facebook for school reopening, and see how many people will clown around and click "not attending".
41) Bat Out Of Hell by Meat Loaf album: Bat Out Of Hell
hit level: not a hit
this is a fantastic song. it's has the speed of metal, and yet it's still rock and roll, it's just the kind i like. but i don't suggest you look at the video, just listening to it would do. because the guy singing really looks like a loaf of meat, and also maybe a fat elvis presley wannabe who sang until his hair gel went undone. so it's probably going to make you laugh or barf or whatever.
but whatever his looks are, this album is quite nice, and so is the story-book-illustration-like cover. i like this album.
Album Review 54: Meat Loaf - Bat Out Of Hell

haiz, school still goes on as per normal. im happy and sad about it. i like going to school and yet i still want to have holidays.
40) Bridge Over Troubled Water by Simon & Garfunkel album: Bridge Over Troubled Water
hit level: smash hit
there's no mv for this song. there's no music videos in 1970. so you can only see this flower and listen to the song. the creator of this video should have placed a bridge over water picture instead. this song is about friendship, how friends should help one another this kind of mushy stuff. its a peaceful song and does sound quite nice.
i realised i forgot to post yesterday, because i was busy figuring out the highest selling albums for this decade, and i figured out. i didn't count albums released in the 1998 or 1999 although they have so over 10 million copies because its difficult.

2 erotic songs together.
38) Erotica by Madonna album: Erotica
hit level: hit
a little erotic
39) Justify My Love by Madonna album: The Immaculate Collection
and i thought how good mariah carey's new single would be. i thought it would be something more refreshing, but no, she has to continue what she has done on her previous 2 albums, or maybe 3 or 4, i don't know, because i never heard anything on glitter and charmbracelet. this track is fine la, can go no.1 on billboard, but won't be much of a no.1 in other countries, just like touch my body. she just needs to reinvent herself a little. this is just like any other track on e=mc2 and the emancipation of mimi. but i must praise her for having an improvement lyrically, being able to direct the content at eminem. overall i would only give this song 4/5, which is bad for a lead single. so i predict that if i do an album review on "memoirs", it would probably only get 3.5/5. please surprise me mariah, please!
234. memoirs of an over-photoshopped middle aged woman
lets start: hair: she's supposed to look wet. but shirt doesn't suggest that. means that her hair is gel-ed, not wet. head: she always have some baby fats. this head is too thin, photoshopped. hand: recent photos doesn't show her hand being so thin. photoshopped. waist: overly thin, recent photos don't suggest that either. photoshopped. boobs: obviously photoshopped. too big to be true for her.
this is a total photoshop to look sexy. so fake. mariah "fakey" carey. she's obsessed with looking sexy. i think her new video, instead of telling her techy to upgrade to what kind of specific modem (refer to touch my body), she's gonna teach us photoshop! to enhance our figure!
i think i should try doing one of these photoshop too.
ok fine this is ugly, anyway i simply did it in 3 minutes using the bloat function under liquify. someday i will probably spend more time making it nicer.
36) How Do I Live by LeAnn Rimes album: You Light Up My Life: Inspirational Songs
hit level: smash hit
extremely beautiful song. well sung. but the album cover depicts the 20+ girl like a 40 year old fat bitch.
1. the jonas brothers released their "long awaited" album, "lines, vines and trying times" today in europe. oh wow congrats to the three jonases for thinking up such a poetic rhyme, which is probably one of the worst rhymes ever since miley cyrus's aka hannah montana's song title, hoedown throwdown. but under the vines, or the trying times of touch economy, is the rotting fruit of the content of their album. reviews from wikipedia page of this album shows that allmusic gave 3/5, which probably means common enough so throw away this shit. planet sound gives 2 stars out of 10, which is an exaggeration of the truth by 2 extra stars. the tune gave c-, which i hope is the worst grade it has. entertainment weekly gave a meekly b-, probably because many of the jonas fans read that magazine, and in order not to lose such a huge group of young girls and children readership, they had to make the grade of that album a passable grade. is there a need to release a studio album every single year, jonases? you should know there's a better future terrorizing children on disney shows, or hold a tour to suck the money out of fangirls before all 3 of you grow old. oh i forgot jonas brothers have more brothers, such as 8 year old frankie jonas. when is he gonna join you all? is your family planning to turn this into the biggest family business since the jackson 5 and the trio of billy ray, miley and her two metro brothers? alternatively, just snap your fingers and thousands of young girls (or gay boys) will be willing to offer their asses and pussies. in fact they will even pay for you to have sex with them. and even more to have a foursome. so go on and do them and not do the public with your crap.
2. second on music is that mariah carey is releasing her new single, "obsessed" tomorrow on radio. it's the first single off her already 12th studio album "memoirs of an imperfect angel". is the imperfect angel supposed to be tommy motorola or motola or whatever he's called la. or is it about nick cannon? or is this for the people who just lost somebody, their best friend, their baby, their man or their lady put your hand way up high bla bla... anyway i have concluded reasons for her having another album so quickly. - she's pregnant and can't tour - nick cannon forced her to make an album about how much she loves him or vice-versa. - she is fucking hao lian, and wants to hurry up and surpass the beatles for the most no.1 singles in the usa. and also wants to get another album to even madonna for more no.1 albums in usa. - her second emancipation album failed terribly in sales for a diva, so her record company forces her to make more albums. im not sure if she's pregnant anyway. it seems like a rumour. but if she's really not, then please mariah, just go have a baby, you are nearing 40 and will probably regret it if you don't have one.
3. cascada's new single for her third album "evacuate the dancefloor", "evacuate the dancefloor", is a rip off of lady gaga. it has an obvious copy of colby o' donis's rap in "just dance", anyway, if you listen there are more similarities than just the rap part.
35) You Must Love Me by Madonna album: Evita Soundtrack
hit level: hit
i don't know if this is the music video, but the original song doesn't have her that high in pitch. but madonna in musical is unbelievable. and i feel that this version is a lot better than other version that is covered. madonna didn't sing with a lot of power or full of techniques, unlike the other covers. this is correct because this song was supposed to be sang when eva peron's going to die. so a dying person should sound a little frail and not gusto. this is a touching song and maybe the only song that would make me want to cry.
Light Of Day, Day Of Darkness by Green Carnation album: Light Of Day, Day Of Darkness
hit level: not a hit
no video. this thing is too long, probably not uploadable.
this song is a whooping 1h06s long. wow. 3606s! i think i shall describe this song. it's a gothic metal tune, with tons of instruments being used. it's like some horrific scenery in a dark forest with only you there, and creatures spying on you. the screams at 36+ min is scary shit.
somewhat like david carradine's death. wiki says: "On June 4, 2009, Carradine was found dead in his room at the Swissôtel Nai Lert Park Hotel on Wireless Road, near Sukhumvit, in central Bangkok, Thailand. A police official said Carradine was found hanging by a rope in the room's closet, and the Bangkok Post reported that his body was found curled up in the wardrobe with a shoelace tied around his genitals and neck. The same officer said: "Under these circumstances we cannot be sure that he committed suicide but he may have died from masturbation." what the hell, this thing seems a little perverted. but it seems possible that he called a prostitute and fucked her, but after that the girl confessed that she's a transexual, and then feeling gay, he hung himself up and died.
and even the album review for this album is very easy to do too. because the whole album only contains one song, which is this song. as if it isn't long enough anyway.
Album Review 51: Green Carnation - Light Of Day, Day Of Darkness
1. Light Of Day, Day Of Darkness - 4.5/5
Green Carnation - Light Of Day, Day Of Darkness: 4.5/1 = 4.5
wth, madonna did it. she got mercy. the malawi government sure got her begging them for "mercy". she's crazy, i thought she got rejected twice. how did she get them to do as she say. did she hypnotize them?
32) Hypnotize by The Notorious B.I.G. album: Life After Death

i hate ads before videos.
i also recommend the jagged little pill album.

Alanis Morissette - Jagged Little Pill: 48/12 = 4.00
wth1. my mum wants to buy 2 sets of the ugly hci 90th anniversary stamp. the pictures on the stamps are so damn ugly, probably taken by a noob. if it was slightly nicer, maybe i would buy, but this quality of pictures put me off. yucks.
wth2. angelina jolie took the number 1 spot for forbes celebrity top 100! with only $27 million in earnings. come on, oprah earned more than 9 times that amount. her web rank and press rank is only slightly lower than jolie's one, why put her at no.2? if it's counted like this, brad pitt should have been no.4.
wth3. beyonce earned $87 million in the past year!!! you must be kidding me! luckily madonna decided to earn money these few years, or she would have lost her world record.
anyway madonna still breaks her own world record for being the highest paid female singer with earning of $110 million in the past year, up $38 million from her previous record, ranking number 3 on the celebrities top 100 list.
wth4. madonna vs michael jackson in mtv's celebrity deathmatch
madonna and michael jackson fights it out in a wrestling ring surrounded by hydrochloric acid. epic moments: "with his extensive use of plastic surgery, it looks like michael jackson has developed an incredible tolerance for pain." - said by commentator after fighting out crotch grabbing with madonna. michael jackson drops into the pool of acid after his flying glove bounced off the string of the ring and rebounded to hit him. the commentator said "i don't know if that acid is strong enough to eat through michael's plastic surgery." and then michael climbs back to the ring in his black self after the plastic is corroded. michael says "you just spoilt half a million dollars worth of cosmetic surgery. i'm gonna take it out on your head." michael uses his "moonwalker magic" to transform into a hamster, and dies after madonna kicked him into the pool of acid.
of course there are other episodes like mariah carey vs. jim carrey, and britney vs christina (which i can't find). but shouldn't they create one on madonna vs mariah carey.
29) Lucky Star by Madonna album: Madonna
hit level: almost a hit
her first billboard top 5 and top 10 single. this video and song looks cute to me.
