Your daily dose of classical music

Good evening,people.This is my third post in two days.Happy?I'm doing this to de-stress,not like melissa,sho is currently working her brains to bits.Poor girl.She really needs to unwind.
Yay!I got my Bond cd from my parents as a gift for being such a good girl.*angelic winks*i guess no one else believes me.I'm currently using my mother's laptop.She's complaining that i am typing too hard,and is warning me not to type so hard.Pft.I type harder on my own keyboard.HAH!Take that.
Ok.Time for your daily dose of stuff on classical songs and albums.Today,i went to learning lab,or in simpler words,united square.Then i went to the CD shop.They have like,loads of cds that are nice,but i don't have and can't afford.Not say can't afford,but can't bear to part with my money.For instance,they have Sarah Brightman's 'Classics' album and 'The music of Andrew Lloyd Webber'.Then they have some other stuff,like Ricard Claydeman,who played ALW songs on the piano.I can't bear to part with my money.Maybe someone can get them as my belated birthday present.*hint hint,guardian angels*Ah well.I can't expect too much from you guys.Then there is Russel Watson.He's album which contains the song 'Amore Musica' is really good,i think.Not to mention Andrea Bocelli and some other artistes,like Sarah Brightman.
Ok,going back to watch my show now.It's the nine o'clock serial,called Beyond The Axis Of Truth two.Ivy Lee is quite pretty for a Singaporean,don't you think?Ok.Gotta go now.Cya!
P.S. I hope that Priscilla will get will soon!

Good afternoon people!Wonder why i'm always online?Well,i don't know myself.The thing is,I UPGRADED MY INTERNET SPEED!!!!Now it's like,ten times faster than my previous speed,which was,like a snail compared to a cheetah....You get the picture.Anyway,I don't regret buying the Centre Stage album.Elaine sang loads of good songs that people in our class can't appreciate,besides Lynn Yap and Vanessa,maybe Lyn Tan as well.Lynn Yap likes 'On my own' from Les miserables,but sadly she doesn't like the one that Elaine sang.The same goes for 'I dreamed a dream'.I obviously don't agree,but i think 'I dreamed a dream sung by Judy Kuhn was really good.Then there were the songs from the ALW musical 'Sunset Boulevard'.Those were really really good.Not to mention 'Memory' and 'I know him so well',from CATS and Chess respectively.The latter holds a place in the Guiness Book Of Records for being the longest running at number one on the charts by a female duo.
It wasn't very long,but it was long enough (4 weeks @ number one).Which was like,nothing compared to 'Time To Say Goodbye', which held the number one spot in the German charts for half a year.Or something like that.Andrea Bocelli rocks anyway.He makes the song sound so effortless.Can't say the same about Sarah Brightman though.She was probably straining to keep the high notes,poor lady.
I was just going through the new archives about her divorce from ALW.She said that after the divorce,all she did was work,work,and work.A kind of emotional asprin for her,in simpler words.Now both she and Elaine have no one special in their lives,i think.(Elaine was previously in an 11 year relationship with lyricist Sir Tim Rice,and Sarah with her producer frank Peterson)Which is a pity.I would have thought that Sarah and Andrea would have made a nice couple.Sadly,he's married.Ah well,i guess perfect things aren't meant to be.
I just realised that ALW is trying to make all of his musicals into movies.Take Sunset Boulevard for evample.It's coming out next year or something.Sadly,Elaine didn't get the role of Norma Desmond.Glen Close got it instead,she's one year older than Elaine,which makes her 58.Older than ALW too!(He's the same age as Elaine)Then there's The Phantom Of The Opera,Bombay Dreams,Jesus Christ Superstar.They all have been made into films,if i am not wrong.Or maybe not.I dunno.But if they aren't,then they would be,somewhere in the near future.Well,i hope they choose Elaine to star in some of those movies.Hey!Who knows?They may actually make CATS into a movie.(The current one is only a video).Then they won't have any choice but to cast Elaine as Grizabella!YAY!! >^-^<
MY MOTHER IS FORCING ME TO GO OUT TO EAT.I DON'T WANT TO!!!THE PLACE THAT THEY ARE GOING TO HAS SLOWSERVICE,AND THE FOOD IS ALL VEGETARIAN!!!!!!! ARGHHHH!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! i hate my mother.:(
