Poise and Rationality

Thank you, Vanessa for the tag! Anybody who’d like to see my tagger’s choice of Top 15, you can check it out at http://www.the-fly-saviour.blogspot.com

Alright! Let’s get it started, and just a disclaimer to say that my top 20 sexies are in no exact order. It depends on how much I’m in love with them. Changes per day, I tell you.

Sorry I can’t put pictures onto this because Friendster blogs are gay. Go search yourself or I’ll paste the links to their photos. xD

1. The boys of Muse - Englishmen/Matt/Dominic/Chris/Muse

http://img520.imageshack.us/img520/3484/museya2.jpg

All three equals one body. One body equals one word: Sexy.
Matt Bellamy with his ability to hypnotize you to his way of seducing the guitars & his falsetto of a voice, you tend to forget he’s already dating an Italian babe and have him all to yourself.
Dominic Howard shares the same passion with me; going crazy and drums. Colourful clothes and uncanny behaviour, he is everything you need to drool upon.
Chris Wolstenholme. Who cares if he’s a daddy? That makes him ten times sexier. A daddy who plays bass for one of my favourite bands with the use of only two fingers. Where do you find that? Where?
They have too many amazing songs to list down so check out their albums: Showbiz, Origin Of Symmetry, Absolution, Blackholes And Revelations, The Hullabaloo Soundtrack…
A few B-sides: "The Groove", covers of "House of the Rising Sun" & "Can’t Take My Eyes Off You", & "Pink Ego Box".

2. Brian Elwin Haner A.K.A Synyster Gates - Avenged Sevenfold/Lead Guitarist/Sexgod

http://media.collegepublisher.com/media/paper290/stills/g97sr77d.jpg

The only non-school drop-out of A7X, his passion in his guitar is a passion for us girls. With eyeliner cutting from his eyes down to his cheeks, rich, black hair neatly styled below his signature black hat, he leaves me staring at the TV long after he’s gone off the screen. Tattoos shape out his body. Hot.

3. James ‘Jamie’ Owen Sullivan A.K.A The Rev - Avenged Sevenfold/Drummer/Hunk

http://i168.photobucket.com/albums/u192/ShortEmoGirlie/TheRev19.jpg

Yes, another A7X fantasy. Hidden behind the large collection of toms and crashes, we never get the chance to fully get a glimpse of this tall, walkingwonder that knocks you off your feet. It’s not just only the way he plays the drums that blows me away, but technically, he’s suave, cool attitude that clings onto him always. And he’s got funky hairstyles.
Rocking A7X tunes: "Unholy Confessions", "Trashed & Scattered", "Streets", "Seize The Day" & "Almost Easy"

4. Ahmad Jeffny - Saxaphonist/Malaysian/Komplot

http://img65.imageshack.us/img65/7193/l0eb058b94e96a706c6ea32me0.jpg

No it’s not because I worship this band. He IS sexy. Quiet and usually in the background, seeing him walk onto the stage and play the saxaphone is enough.
Check out Komplot! "Konflik Metropolis", "Nora Zain" and "Enter The Kosmos" are good songs.

5. Nor Hanafi - Malaysian/Hair/Lead Guitarist/Estranged/Reza Salleh

http://img172.imageshack.us/img172/3985/hanud2.jpg

Yes, his hair is long, and it covers his face. Doesn’t erase the fact that he has rather dreamy eyes. Seeing him play in Estranged wasn’t what triggered his sexy level, I must say, but it was seeing him play for Reza Salleh. OH MY GOD, the skill. My jaw was practically hanging low when he finished, not to mention I was eyeing the way he was moving around stage.
And he’s into photography. And he likes my poems.
Estranged is infamous for "Itu Kamu" & "Chocolate Syrup" but also check out "Puzzled" & "Again".

6. James Righton - Guitarist/Co vocals/The Klaxons

http://i.realone.com/assets/rn/img/1/9/0/0/14350091-14350093-large.jpeg

Sexy secret of the band. I had to battle between him and Jamie Reynolds [Vocalist]. But I ended down to him. Shallow choice. But admit it. He’s a heartbreaker.
You have to check out "Golden Skans" & "Magick".

7. AXL Rose - Vocalist/Guns N’ Roses

http://fashion.elle.com/photos/uncategorized/2007/09/19/axl_rose2.jpg

One word. Legend.
Songs? "Sweet Child Of Mine", "Look at your game, girl", & "One in a million".

8. Jason Wade - Lifehouse/Vocalist/Australian

http://farm2.static.flickr.com/1149/1441865916_dd17bd4464.jpg

Isn’t he just a knee-weakening soul? Winning every girls’ hearts with ‘You and Me’, he particularly won mine when I heard him sing ‘Blind’. Sexy eyes and luring vocals, he so deserves a spot on this list. Check out those two songs I mentioned.

9. Lan - Meet Uncle Hussain/Malaysian/Vocalist

http://img363.imageshack.us/img363/4448/lanqd5.jpg

It’s not only the fact that he is good looking that gets him a spot on this list, but it’s the way he sings on stage. his expression and his voice doesn’t escape my eye. And the way he looks when he’s all sweaty.
Love the songs: "Pura-pura", "Lagu Untukmu" & "La La La Kerjalah"

10. Ariel - Peterpan/Indonesian/Jiwang/Vocalist

http://www.suaramerdeka.com/harian/0708/08/sm16peterpan68eps.jpg

IT TOOK ME 9 PLACES BEFORE I COULD THINK OF THIS GUY? Holy crap. He makes me hyperventilate everytime I think of him. His voice almost like Jason Wade’s, husky and deep, he sends you twirling around in your head as he plays with your heart. Dreamy eyes that electrifies. He is exactly what sexy is all about.
Songs you have to hear: "Mimpi Yang Sempurna", "Di Belakangku", "Mungkin Nanti", "Semua Tentang Kita" & "Ada Apa Denganmu".

11. Jeff Buckley - Soloist/American

http://www.abc.net.au/triplej/topshelf/gallery/jeff_buckley/jeffB_01.jpg

He makes you go ‘Hallelujah’. Majority of people prefer Rufus Wainwright to him, I must say, but I gotta choose this guy. He is. Hot.

12. Kurt Cobain - Nirvana/Vocalist/Guitarist/Suicidal

http://i.realone.com/assets/rn/cms/2004/large/Kurt_Cobain_-_Blondes_gallery_-_lg.6477930.jpg

No, it’s not because he was suicidal. Or maybe it is? His unstable emotions clearly were portrayed in his relentless lyrics and singing, and that was what made him a lust creature in the first place. His depression and anger can be seen when you look at him bash the guitars, and the way he glares at the camera in pictures. He was almost god in his time of reigning grunge music, and it’s clear why.
Check out: "Rape Me", "Heart-shaped box" and "Smells Like Teen Spirit"

13. Jon Bon Jovi - Bon Jovi/Vocalist

http://cdn-channels.netscape.com/gallery/i/b/bon_jovi/Photo_Jon-Bon-Jovi_304RGB.jpg

Admit it, he’s a lady killer. With a guitar held in hand and a voice he owns, Bon Jovi is… my kind of sexy.

14. Bert McCracken - he started it all/The Used/Emo

http://spc.fotologs.net/photo/12/10/121/bert_mccracken/1125451397_f.jpg

He was the one who influenced Gerard Way, and that makes him sexier than ever. Scream-cry vocals, he makes the lyrics sound more excruciating than it is. But I love the way he doesn’t give a shit about how his hair seems after a gig, I love the way he throws the mic into his face and screams his lungs out. An all-out performer.
Songs to listen to: "Blue & Yellow", "Noises & Kisses", "Maybe Memories" and "Bulimic".

15. Brendon Urie - Vocalist/Panic! At The Disco

http://i33.photobucket.com/albums/d57/Grrangiegrrr/BrendonUrie.jpg

He is sexy, okay? Ever since I saw him on the video of "I write sins not tragedies", I kept an eye out for him. Love the way he sings in "There’s A Good Reason These Tables Are Numbered Honey, You Just Haven’t Thought Of It Yet".
Buy their album.

16. Grégory Lemarchal - Soloist/French/Deceased

http://www.gala.fr/var/gal/storage/images/les_stars/leurs_bio/lemarchal_gregory/images/gregory_lemarchal/256845-1-fre-FR/gregory_lemarchal_reference.jpg

Died of an undeserving disease at the age of 24 last year, this boy had everything you looked for in a good voice. He had the talent, the passion, the looks. He was sexy because of his youthful character. Winning the French talent show ‘Star Academie’ with his song "Ecris L’histoire", he also won many hearts around the nation… and out of it [me]. Love, love, love this guy.
Check out the songs "A Corps Perdu" & "Je T’ecrit" by him as well.

17. Benoit Poher - Kyo/French

http://79.img.v4.skyrock.com/791/benkyolove01/pics/316220009.jpg

His voice.
Songs to check out: "Le Chemin", "Contact", "Je saigne encore", "Je te vends mon ame" & "Dans ma chair"

18. Evan Taubenfeld - The guy who played guitar for Avril Lavigne’s band. He was cute. And crazy in the vids

http://www.wikifotos.es/static2/2007/06/13/1199022.jpg

19. Billy Joe Armstrong - Green Day/American Idiot/Vocalist

http://i44.photobucket.com/albums/f22/jmoney522596/billy.jpg

He was adorable when he was a child, and he’s a man now! There’s just this vibe coming out from him that I really like and he’s just pleasant to watch.
"Minority", "Good Riddance", "Holiday" & "Jesus of Surburbia".

20. Anthony Kiedis - Red Hot Chili Peppers/Vocalist

http://www.orlandofloridaguide.com/entertainment/music/bands/redhotchili/RHCP%20-%20Anthony%20Kiedis%20057.jpg

Soothing vocals, calm and deadpan-ish. Love his funky styles and eccentric personality, he is everything you’re looking for in a good performance. Backed by insane bassist, Flea, it’s no wonder people love these Red Hots.
"By The Way", "Humb De Bump", "Havana Affair" & "Slow Cheetah" are funky songs.

And that’s all from me.

‘We Will Rock You’ is a multi-million musical by the Lunchbox Theatrical Productions, currently stepping up to its 6^th year of playing to packed houses on

London

’s

West End

. Having sailed through the world from London to Las Vegas to Tokyo, stopping by Singapore was definitely a full on intention – punctuated with the purpose of the title – to rock the house to it’s knees and horned salutes down in Esplanade Hall, Singapore. Despite the brilliant choice of a play list that consistently spelled out “Queen”, playing over 20 songs by the legendary British rockers, the musical production officially disclaims of it being a Queen tribute whatsoever, but instead, a general tribute to the loved and hated - Rock N’ Roll.

Scene set in the year 2350, it is a story of rebellion and passion to let music live on in a world where live music is no longer appreciated and – comically – banned. As the lights dim to suggest an entrée, the audience is thrown into a frolic of dazzling lights and gradual, pounding music that spun vibration in your toes and boogied with your eardrums. With the pinch of a Star Wars déjà vu, a time line of the music world plays on a screen. Just a few dug-off-the-memory quotes were:

1956 - Elvis releases Heartbreak Hotel
1964 - The Beatles conquer

America

1989 - Aerosmith give up drinking
2030 - Kids require a license to own electric guitars
2046 - ALL MUSICAL INSTRUMENTS BANNED

Which takes us to the story. Our main character, Galileo Figaro, is played by heartbreaking Rockstar INXS finalist Miguel Ayesa, an owner of thick vocals and an edgy Bohemian, he dreams of melodious words and sounds he doesn’t understand, therefore strays away – almost fortunately, you could say – from the Ga Ga-minded cliques of synthesized pop, who opens the evening with a rather awkwardly bright and stunning performance of “Radio Ga Ga”. This follows up a few other tracks of Queen’s sung by Galileo & his soon-to-be-lover Scaramouche (played by Jenna Lee-James) such as “I want to break free”, “Somebody to love” and a ravishing duet performance of “Under pressure”; all this riveted one after another during their arrest by the guards of GlobalSoft, under the eye of the anti-rock “Killer Queen”, played by New Zealand’s pop princess, Anna Crummer.

“What is rock and roll?”
“Gazza, baby! Rock’n'roll is anything you want it to be! It’s sex! Style! Rebellion… Freedom!”

With a strong highlight on the controversy of Rock N’ Roll, the touches of sarcasm and wit runs smoothly throughout the show; the major punch of humor evolving around the hardcore, rock-loving, soulful and sacrificial bohemian by the name of – Victoria Beckham. The musical sets aside the ‘futurism’ perspective, focusing more on the criticism of the nouveau music we face nowadays, with witty kneeslappers winning hopeless guffaws galloping through the audience. Indifferent to today, you could argue, ‘We Will Rock You’ showed depths of diversity and uncanny expectations of a rockstar, socially stereotyped in outfits and attitude. The inhabitance of the bohemians dressed in rags and leather in Heartbreak Hotel, a glimpse of what Rock is all about is successfully suggested within the characters, cunningly showing that rock was all about being different and embracing the diversity, accentuated by the performance of “Nothing you can do about it” by the Bohemians and final heartfelt performance of “No-one but you [Only the good die young]”. As a basis of rock worship, the musical notably mocks and expectorates never-think-twice comments on the top-charters of now compared to those of the early 1900s – straight to the point, the memorable term used was “crap”. Also, slight insertions of a few famous Singaporean names – such as Phua Chu Kang, Fried Rice Paradise and 

Boogie Street

- won the country’s heart.

The tinges of vulgarity and dark humor added spice to the works of Queen, with a cabaret-like performance of “Fat Bottomed Girls” and “Another One Bites The Dust” with the Killer Queen’s lusciously synchronized dancers-comme-puppets clad in green to tie the knot. A well worthy musical, ‘We Will Rock You’ captures the audience with their energy and fast paced movements. It showed knowledge in the world of music, saluting the legendary musicians and artist of the last century. The production’s band earned its rightful place to a standing ovation granted in the final medley that collaborated “We will rock you” and “We are the champions”, celebrating the art of crowd participation in the meantime. As the hall went pitch black, crowds cheered for a predictable encore, predictable enough to gain a few giggles as the screen illumed with the words “Do you want Bohemian Rhapsody?”

To end the night of flawless rock tunes sailing through the hours, the 2-houred show rounded up with a slick performance of Queen’s biggest hit ‘Bohemian Rhapsody’ of which started with the famous lines, “Mama/I killed a man”. The band’s guitarist appeared on stage to grant us a live act of a rock-god guitar solo as bows were made during the prolonged music intervals. Altogether, no money was gone to waste at this sold-out fresh, healthy air of Rock N’ Roll.

I was talking online with my friend, Vanessa and we couldn’t help discussing the unbelievable extents of authors and filmmakers allowing CHEESE to leak into their films.

MAJOR POINT OF CRITIC: Harry Potter. Why is it that even the best sellouts… have to end with people naming their kids after the ones they looked up on and admired? Why can’t the story just END at the point when he kills Voldermort and the world survives? I absolutely admired the ending of August Rush, a film recently released. It just ended with the boy turning around and seeing his parents. No hugs, no crying. And it ended. Now THAT is a good ending.

I, personally would’ve preferred Harry to die. But then again, I realized NO… if Harry dies, then semua orang pun nak panggil kanak2 dia HARRY. Harry Malfoy, Harry Weasley. Agree? Can you imagine turning your page to Nine Years Later [even the sound of that makes me cringe] and seeing Ginny in the hands of a new love, and thinking about Harry as she looks down at her kid who has a birthmark on his forehead?

I bet you that thought had crossed JK Rowling’s mind to get Ginny to name her kid Harry if Harry was the one who died in the book.

WHY THE CHEESE? WHY THE NEED FOR CHEESE?

All this while, I enjoyed the company of books that left you hanging, and it’s people like Stephen King, I must say, that really succeeds in doing so. Never once, in the books I read of his, that he had mastered the obsession of having endings close to "happily ever after".

Mind you, I’m not ketuk-ing JK Rowling la, I am the proud collector of Harry Potter books… But I have to say the ending was a little bit too clichéd for my taste.

Then there are movies that always need, NEED, to have two people in the end of the story. Oh yes, you guessed it. Two people meaning… a guy and a girl. Either that, or the hero sacrifices. Take… Stay Alive… in the end? Two lovers and one geek. Take all those movies about romance and all. Two people. I’m not asking for one of them to die every single time, but at least can’t we do something more interesting than kissing under the rain when the credits show, or dancing in the moonlight, or lying in bed or getting married?

I’m sick of all the "Let me go!"
"No, I’ll go!"
"No! If you love me, you won’t get yourself hurt…"
Excuseeee me, aku tak nak bazir duit to see movies wasting a whole minute like that. Yes, one of you will die, so… get to the point! I know it’s all about making you cry, and creating anticipation… but.

But. How many tears can you shed for that same scenario? When you sit there in the freezing cold KL cinema seats in my situation, you really can’t help wondering how scripters can actually earn so much ka-chings by creating these typical lines that have been heard in 100 of other films. Honestly, won’t it be nicer to watch a film with actual thought-provoking words?

If you want to see a film with those words, don’t bother to waste 10 ringgit on the cinema just balik rumah cari closet until you find your Titanic DVD.
