Amy Winehouse


Who's Amy Winehouse? (I asked myself). I didn't know her before (Ooopss sorry Amy), I just know that she's controversial, that's it. But apparently, I got curious, so I searched for her in the world wide web. And I found out that I am so out of date! Yeah! Okay, so she's a very controversial singer, who has been in so many news since 2007. News about her behaviour, her drug and alcohol addiction, her cancelled concert and tours, and her music (a mix of soul, jazz, and r n' b).

What struck me most, is that this lady, which I have no idea who she was before, had 6 Grammy Nominations, and had won 5 Grammy Awards from those nominations, including Best New Artist, Record of the Year and Song of the Year. Amy Winehouse has also won a Brit Award, and Ivor Novello Award (twice). Although she had so many recognition, she still have this problem of addiction, like some of the singers and actresses/actors. However, some of the fans, disagree that she's like other addicted singers, because she has talent, and she's unique.

Now, as I have searched through, she agreed to go to rehab,again. Hopefully, this time she'd be (more) okay, so she won't be able to cancel her concerts :D .

So, for others like me, who don't know who she is, here's a link to her music video and song, entitled: "Rehab".

David Cook


Since the finals of American Idol Season 7, I have been waiting for the release of David Cook’s Album. Yes! I’m an avid fan of David Cook, because unlike any other contestants of American Idol Season 7, he has his own style, he’s quite creative with his performances, and he can sing any song. Now, that’s a true artist. Although he is compared to some other rock stars (because of his big voice), he’s my type of a pop/rock star. I have even got some of his songs on my play list, and everyday I listen to them, especially the “music of the night” song. Why? Although the song is a bit old, his version is so cool, and you can even say that he sounded like Gerard Butler, the one who sang the song in the Phantom of the Opera. I can say, he could be the next phantom.

Currently, David Cook is making his debut album, but he has already broken a lot of records with his American Idol performances.
