Regardless of that, its a cool video and thumbs up to Good Charlotte and their new sound because if everyone else hates it, screw them, I like their new sound and thats all that matters.
Favourite Artist This Moment:
MIKA
I am in love with this guy's music and I am not ashamed to admit it. Its different, HOLY MUFFINS its different. Different than any other brand of music I listen too. I have evolved musically and I'm proud to be able to accept this kind of music.
Its different. [No, different is the only way to describe it]
You might've heard Grace Kelly on radio or seen the video on MTV since he's Buzzworthy and such, truthfully speaking I thought he was annoying at first. The hair, the voice, the sound, EVERYTHING. Then about a week ago, I was feeling a bit off and was listening to Hitz.fm School Of Rock. They played all my favourite songs that day.
All American Rejects-It Ends Tonight
Linkin Park-What I've Done
American Hifi-Flavour of The Week
Basically, it was a rocking hour. But I still felt a bit..bleh. So I decided to go and do my homework. [Yep, I was trying to fight the blehness by doing something that is even MORE bleh.] So, with the radio, Fly.fm, I did my work. Suddenly, Mika's song Grace Kelly came on and quickly I changed it to Hitz.fm and it was playing Beyonce' and Shakira's Beautiful Liar.
So, I did what any sane person would do and that is to change back to Fly.fm and endure the annoying singer with the annoying song.
I could be brownI could be blueI could be violet sky
I could be hurtful
I could be purpleI could be anything you like
Gotta be greenGotta be meanGotta be everything moreWhy don't you like me?
Why don't you like me?
Why don't you walk out the door!
Minutes later, I found myself singing to it and thought, god, this guy is talking shit but hey, atleast its a melodic shit. The kind of shit that gets stuck in your head. As if fate was knocking on my head, I decided to on the tv and voila, Mika Interview..special, whatever. I thought, hmm..I'll continue doing my work AFTER watching this, I need to rest anyway.
So I watched it and finally found out why he wrote the song Grace Kelly. It was actually a come back song, a song he wrote when he was pissed off at the music agents wanting him to change his style and looks.
It suddenly struck me. This dude, IS JUST LIKE ME!! I swear we can be related. He's very..very creative in that sense that he makes a song that people think is a happy song but its actually far away from happiness. It was a strike at the music industry. The fact that he did it rather sarcastically, was just brilliant.
Just the way I write stuff in my blog. Ok, I'm not saying I'm brilliant or anything but its just that, my post are usually funny. Stupid..AND funny. You have to admit, you do wonder if I'm sane or not. Why do I joke all the time? Why do I always try to pull the mickey out of everything. I find it more satisfying to write the opposite about my current situations. I'm not happy all the time. Not everything in my life is whoopee!! But I don't want to write about how my life sucks and everyone hates me. I'd rather write about the reason why life sucks and everyone hates me and that is because life, is running a marathon and it needs to breathe once in a while, thats why it sucks and the reason everyone hates me is because they ain't me. So hah!! Though, thats not true. People don't hate me, they just don't know how to feel when it comes to me.
Oh fuck I'm rambling.
So back to Mika.
People compare him with Prince and Freddie Mercury and wow, I don't even know who the hell Freddie Mercury is. And Prince? Isn't he that short guy with the mole? Anyway, unlike other band songs, Mika's songs makes you happy. Without a doubt, it makes you feel high...with happiness. You just want to jump around and do something silly. Its like an endorphin overflow for me, everytime I hear his songs.
But it sucks, because no one else like him. Well, no one else HERE! I mean he has fans everywhere. It sucks that the only brand of music my friends would ever like is the type with the hot bassist and the off key yelling. If I showed a picture of Mika [just to let them see who the singer is] they'll almost definitely be like "Eww Sheila, is he gay? Why do you like his songs?"
They haven't grown properly in order to appreciate this sort of music. Then when I make them listen to his song they'll be like...
"AAHHH WHATS WITH THE FALSETTOS!! ITS SO GAY AND ANNOYING. I LIKE JOEL MADDEN. HE SOUNDS LIKE A MAN!!"
Heh, Joel seems to be getting a lot of stick from me today. Ah, you guys know I adore him.So, I guess I have to be listening to his songs all alone, be happy and high all alone. But seriously, you want to be happy? Free your mind of any stereotypes and watch the "Love Today" video by him. Its not about the looks, its about the music this guy makes. If you can't stand falsettos, then boo you, if you can then hopefully you'll get a wonderful partner and 10 babies.
Anyway, I just have to say this. You guys can hate me but whatever. I woke up this morning realising that it was someone's birthday but I couldnt remember who. I checked my friend's list and no one was born today. 4 hours later I realised it was this guy's birthday.
Happy 27th Birthday Kian, god you're getting old.
FINE!! I'll stop being pathetic now, though it won't last long. Anyway, this shall be my last post until the mid year is over. Other than that, wish me luck and I'll be back as soon as Kyle Patrick decides to pull a "Pete Wentz."
Shouldn't be long now.
"They tried to label my sound as indie, but it was to melodic. But the mainstream media couldnt take it either because it was too weird."
