I am with you, always.

《American Idol Season 7》已经播完很久了，不过直到现在我才有时间记下我的观后感。。。

这一季《American Idol》入围top12的选手堪称是此节目开播后这么多Season中最强的。不光三个评委都认同这一点，节目破记录的投票数量（决赛投票数量近1亿...赚死了 -_-#）也证明了观众对于此个season选手的狂热喜爱。

在top 12中，有4个选手令我印象非常深刻：Carly Smithson, Micheal Johns, David Archulater & David Cook。这次先讲下Micheal Johns & Carly Smithson。为什么将他们放在一起讲? 因为他们"Certainly left the compitition b4 their time"。

Micheal Johns外型好成熟好man，样子几good looking，声线更加无得顶。他唱歌的声音很混厚，富有感染力，被评委称作"灵魂歌手"。他在Hollywood选拔中唱的歌（名字忘了，有"kill", "die"之类的歌词，所以我不fan..）获得"Best Performance so far"的评价，也因此成为大热之一。Michall在比赛中的表现一直非常稳定，没曾被评委找到茬。串烧翻唱《We Will Rock You》& Robbie Williams的《We are the champion》成为他最好的表演。可惜的是去到top 8时演唱的《Dream On》成为Michael比赛中的绝唱。唯一的一次落入bottom 3就被elimilate出局，真是s了都不知道是怎么回事。

Carly Smithson拥有女选手中最好的唱功，音域极广，噪音洪亮；她在Hollywood选拔赛中唱的《Alone》就表现出了劲爆的歌唱实力。而入围top 12后，演唱The Beatles乐队的《Come Together》则是她的颠峰表现。可惜由于赛程的安排以及自己的选歌出现失误，Carly的表演越来越不能发挥出她的实力，好几次落入bottom 3，最终止步top 6。我个人认为她的失败之处是她演唱的歌曲有比较大的局限性，这是由她大噪子的特点决定的；另外就是她的文身...成只右臂都是tactoo 很不好看啊..

                                                   

 

《Let It Be》是一张名义上The Beatles合作的最后一张唱片,虽然它在1970年发行,不过实际上它主要的录制工作在1969年初就已经基本完成，而其后期的混音制作则是在1970年初由Phil Spector完成。由于乐队当时的矛盾激化，这张专辑不能看做是一张全心全意的唱片，而显得有点低于他们的最高水平，但是我们可以从唱片里听到很多有趣的东西。

本来这张唱片应该叫做《Get Back》，是因为Pual并不想乐队就此解散而做的最后努力，可是计划还是不幸的流产了，《Get Back》也就被《Let It Be》无情的代替了，连专辑的封面也变成了四个人背离式的分占四角。专辑的名字不仅预示了乐队的未来，也宣布了一个时代的突然崩溃，一种文化的悄悄消逝。

 

                            

 

音乐上来说,专辑里的《Across the Universe》，《Let It Be》，《The Long and Winding Road》都是难得的好作品,感性而又深富韵味，他们发挥了自己最高的水准，尤其是Pual的填词更是少见的佳作；而《I've Got a Feeling》和《Get Back》也是一向有好口碑，以上五首歌中就有三首是榜首歌曲，也充分说明这张专辑的可听性和收藏性，当然，在我眼里，Beatles每张专辑都是精华的作品。这些作品的所体现的文化与风格，足足影响了随后几十年的欧美音乐发展。时至今日，我们听了the Beatles的音乐，仍能感受到他的影响力。

 

Lyric de let it be

 

The top 12 of American Idol Season7 are all talented singers. They are properbly the strongest in American idol history. And the show of the top 12 was also brilliant. The boys and girls can pick songs from the "Lenon and McCarney" collection, whick is know as the front memebers of the Beatles.  I've watched their shows last night and are fancinated by 4 guys -- Chekieze, David, Brooke, Carly.

 

Chekieze's done a good performance for taking a risk to change the style of the song "She's a women". He began the song with a very coutry style and rock it afterwards. No one has expected that and Chekieze won big praises for breaking out the box and entertaining everyone.

 

I am a fan of David Cooks. David works in a bar and perform rock musics a lot. I gotta say his tone really rocks perfectly. He sang "Eleanor rigby", and he made everybody stand on their feet and dance, again!

 

Brooks was not that attracted to me until the top 12 show. She sangs "Let it be" on a beautiful paino. The "let it be" was the last published single song of The Beatles in 1970. Brooks's tone touched the hearts of audiances. She made everyone reads the meaning of the song, including me. I am so moved by her performance.

 

Carly, as always, did a good job. She sang ''Come together" and told everybody that she has the best vocal over the other contestants.  I think she will definitely make it through to the top 5. She "finally picked the right song" and made a best performance by far.

 

Some did well but some did not. Hot singers like Micheal, David Archulater didn't perform really well. D.A even forgot the lyrics during the show. But the Americans still love them and they can still stay in the game...

 

Who will be the next American Idol. Let's tune on..

Houston Rocket made a 21 straight win. Unbelievable..!

Hope the Rocket will keep the miracle on and make more wins...

得知妹在中大辅修法文，我想也没想就买了教材准备去偷师。今天我第一次去听课，还特意了逃班，乘了大半个小时地铁，又走半个小时的路，才赶上了6:45分开始的课~~

 

我第一次听课，他们已经是上第5次课了。结果就是在听天书~。。 好在之前自己摸过一些法语，个别东西还是跟得上。

 

下课已经是晚上9:00了，我拖着软绵绵的身体回到家，已经是10:30了。。。 每周二周五都这样跑？ 我真不知能坚持多久，但起码现在我还是很有决心的 -- 为感受Paris的浪漫，为开始蒙特利尔的新生活，为把自己的生命添加更缤纷的色彩。..

 

ps: 刚出东校区地铁站又碰到屈哥，太巧了....
