Giving In To Michael Jackson..

Just like MJ's song title "Give In To Me", I have truly did give in to Michael Jackson's music eversince a little kid...being a child of the 80's, who could escape his music, especially when it was at the time he was at the peak of his career.

I had always been a fan of MJ. ..Of course being a kid back then, i never knew he was THAT awesome. Of course, i only knew THAT big of an entertainer when I was about 10. Especially when you have one classmate that is an even bigger fan of MJ. Hahaha...i still remember how he'd try to moonwalk and grab his crotch, and since we were still young and VERY innocent, we didn't think much about the crotch grabbing.... :p yes...we were really THAT innocent minded kids then..

i simply just loved his songs and i remember very clearly that it was his "Dangerous" album that kept me company during my week's stay at a hospital when i was about 11 years old. And I still remember that I could just listen to "Give In To Me", "Black or White" and "Will You Be There" over and over again. And believe or not, that was the only album I ever wanted to listen to and I never got sick/bored hearing those same songs over and over again. Even after my stay at the hospital, i would only listen to his "Dangerous" album....

16 years later, and i'm still can't get enough of "Give In To Me"...i dunno why...an inner sexual feeling in me is just waiting to burst out? Nah...can't be...it simply has to be MJ's awesomeness that i'm overwhelmed with. He truly is The One and Only...no one can ever come close to being as great as Michael Jackson.





I still can't believe that he's gone. I somehow thought that we'd still be able to see him do his moonwalk when he's 80!! But although he has gone to a better place, his music and legacy will forever be in our hearts...we miss u MJ...

Beat It!! Chipmunk style...

The Chipmunks do Michael Jackson's "Beat It"... and no, this isn't the version where the song is sped up. Check it out for yourselves!!



ps: in no way am I making fun of MJ, I'm one of his fans, i just thought that this version is kinda cute....
pps: I did not create this clip.

MDG 2: The Red Bull Challenge

The challenge this time round is called “Red Bull Challenge”. The girls were basically asked to potray "energy" in their photos. Here's my take on the photos...


Trampoline - Juanita & Dawn
I kinda think Dawn’s pose was more relevant for the “trampoline” shot. You could at least tell that she just leapt off a trampoline!! She looks so flexible here and at ease....me like!!

Dawn - Trampoline Shot

Whereas Juanita’s shot was more suitable for the body combat shot if you ask me. Yeah, sure both her legs were in the air, but it just didn’t go with the trampoline shot if you ask me.

Juanita - Trampoline Shot

Body Combat - Pinky & Ming
Pinky seemed to be goofing around during her takes. I couldn’t help but LOL at her moves, konon-nyer lah “killer look” but I think if faced with her, I wouldn’t be shaking with fear, I’d be ROFL instead!! XD .

"Chhhhhaaaaaaaarrrrggggeeee!!"

Ok ok, blame the production crew for their pick of background music and that “ting-a-ling-a-ling” sound effect!! :p To me her face says more like “I keel you all!!” and somehow that pose kinda reminded me of a praying mantis…haha…I’m mean :p

=


Everybody do the "Praying Mantis" !!

Pinky - Body Combat Shot

Now Ming, THAT is what you call “killer” look!! Her facial expression and body movement potrays “You dare to mess with me??!!!”. Don’t mess with this Tai Ka Jie I tell you, you’d be asking for trouble! Just look at that face!! She is ready to kick some serious @$$ there!!

Yoga - Natasha
Hhhhmmmmm….if you ask me, I don’t think yoga pose was as easy as it sounded. I wouldn’t know how to pose with “energy” for a yoga pose. I think the yoga shot is more difficult compared to the trampoline and body combat shots. Natasha’s photo here does come across as lifeless and bland here. Heck, I don’t even sense tranquillity in this pix!!

At the end of the day, the 2 girls with the best shots were Ming and Juanita. But there can only be ONE winner, so a re-match was called upon. So Ming and Juanita were to swap roles. And with that, swap places they did and I think Ming nailed this one!! Unlike Juanita who used the same style for her shots, Ming at least used some variety.


See what I mean? For both trampoline and body combat shot, Juanita still used that “fighter” look whereas Ming had that care-free look for the trampoline shot and the killer look in the body combat shot. Kudos to her!!

On a side note, I almost cried when it seemed that she was going to be eliminated this week. Thank goodness it was a pre-determined non-elimination week this week. Phew!! I definitely think that she is Top 3 material!! I'm liking Ming now too!!

Drama and Tension in the House!!

The girls were asked to memorize some lines for the HP advert and I’ve gotta say, Natasha totally nailed the HP advert challenge, she totally deserved to have won it. The other girl that made me LOL was Shasya’s blooper!! Somehow it reminds me of a scene from Godzilla!! :p

Shasya decides to do a scene from Godzilla for her HP advert take

Then when Elaine said that she could bring along 2 friends for the “Go See with Andrew”, I was really shocked that Natasha had chosen Juanita as one of the people that she could bring along. Little that I know that the challenge took place before her confrontation with Ming and Juanita!! LOL…did you notice Elaine’s face when Natasha said she wanted to take Elaine along? It's like she's looking at the producer and saying to him, "Does Tasha knows what she's doing by choosing Juanita??"

Elaine throws a look at the producer and hints, "Does Tasha knows what she's doing by choosing Juanita??"

I guess after Ming and gang had warned Natasha about Juanita’s “other side”, Natasha smartened up and took heed of their advice. And when Natasha told Juanita that she’s not going to bring her for obvious reasons, another argument took place and Pinky and Shasya got involved as well. That was when Juanita kept changing her story. First she said she was only helping Pinky to find the correct word (which was “exaggerating”), then she said she didn’t say that but she had agreed with Pinky that Natasha may have been exaggerating her condition. One thing led to another and before we knew it, a heated argument took its turn and when Juanita was left with nothing else to say, she chose to blackmail Natasha!!!

I’m beginning to dislike Juanita now. For those of you who said that Natasha probably shut up coz she was probably guilty of something, I just wanna say, if you were in Natasha’s shoes, wouldn’t you have backed off as well? Juanita already has the capability of twisting and turning a story, heaven knows if she’ll turn the story around against Natasha. I may be wrong here, but it’s just my opinion. I think because of this, no one in the house would want to associate themselves with Juanita. Who knows what she's up to next??!! Could she be the next Tey Cindy of MDG 1? Time will tell..

On the other hand, I'm beginning to like Natasha now. She may be small but man, she kicks @$$!! As they say "kecik kecik cili padi". I have to say, at least she doesn't listen to one side of the story. She's bold enough to confront the girls when she's unhappy with something and is willing to listen to both sides of the story. And her mouth and eyes??!! Man, are they sharp!! Really, though she's like a decade younger than I am, I'd think twice about messing around with her!!

MDG2: There's Always 2 Sides to a Story

Natasha…Natasha….tsk tsk tsk….

The confrontation with Ming

If I were you, I wouldn’t be so trusting to the girls in the house, especially Juanita. It seems that her true colours may now be showing. Although Juanita may have acted out of concern for Natasha’s health, but she may be using Natasha to cause more catfights in the house.

The confrontation between Ming, Juanita and Natasha

Juanita kept pushing the blame to Ming. How come Ming became Juanita’s target? Perhaps Juanita’s family members or friends had told her about Ming and Natasha’s earlier spat. So with that severed tie between them, it’s only understandable that Ming would be a much easier target compared to the other girls.

The confrontation between Denezia, Ming, Juanita and Natasha

She even had the nerve that she “counter-checked” with Denezia about Ming’s statement. But when Denezia was called in, well, things then took a turn. It wasn’t Ming who said that but it seems that it was Farah who said those things. The only “story” that remained the same was that Juanita had in fact asked behind Natasha’s back “is Natasha loaded?”.
It’s pretty obvious from here that it was Juanita who triggered the conversation and then went backstabbing the girls. Even Natasha herself didn’t seem to satisfied as to why Juanita would even think of asking such a question in the first place…

I actually pity Farah here. Since she was already eliminated from the show by then, she couldn’t be there to defend for herself. There’s always 2 sides to a story and I’m sure Farah would have something to say in this had she been there.

The talk between Pinky, Dawn and Ming

After clearing up the air, Pinky and Dawn then asked Ming what went on. After Ming told them the story, Juanita’s true colours began to show even more. I actually like Dawn here, she’s so cute when she’s blur!! XD Pinky said that behind Natasha’s back, Juanita had said that Natasha was only exaggerating her medical condition and all this while she was pretending to be so concerned and trying to get all close with Natasha. So being “caring” girls, they called Natasha to warn her about Juanita’s character….but if I were in Natasha’s shoes, I don’t think I can trust anyone…

The girls warning Natasha

Why?
1) Ming was an easy target because she had a spat with Natasha earlier in the show.
2) Obviously Denezia would have sided with Ming eventually as they seem to be quite close and besides, Denezia and Juanita themselves had an argument before. So much so that a piece of furniture broke!!
3) Pinky and Ming would obviously side with Ming since they are room-mates.
4) Juanita’s statements seem to contradict…she insisted that Ming was the one who said that Natasha paid off the hospital just to get away from the show for a while but in the end, it was supposedly Farah who said that.

Sigh, really Natasha…you shouldn’t be to gullible and naïve. Just be sure to not believe every word that Juanita says. There’s always 2 sides to the story…

MDG 2 - Round 3 Elimination

Wow, once the elimination rounds had started, it seems that the girls are all leaving all too soon now….. :p This week, in the bottom 3, we have Pinky, Farah and Denezia with the lowest votes.

Before commenting on the girls' performance over the week, Elaine gave these a girls a good "telling off" for being 1/2 hearted at being in the show as all that they ever complained about was to wanting to go home. Elaine has a point there girls!! STOP COMPLAINING!!

It may very well be that Pinky will be getting her wish this week. In the last episode, Pinky was complaining and whining to her boyfriend that she wanted to go home and that she’s not happy at all being in the Dream house. She then asked him to not vote for her coz he’d only be wasting her money. Although her boyfriend tried to convince her to still stay on in the show, she kept telling him to not vote for her, so maybe the audience are really giving her what she wants?

But then, we have Farah in the bottom 3 AGAIN!!! I don’t know, Elaine says that she’s pretty, she’s got everything going for her, bla bla bla but I don’t quite agree with her. Looks perhaps but figure wise?? Most certainly not. Farah is pear shaped I guess, so she definitely would not be someone you would want to use to model your stuff or walk on the catwalk.

As for Denezia, could it be because the audience just finds her annoying? After all, she was voted the most annoying amongst all the girls in a poll done on their website.

So who was sent home this week? Well, it could be none other than the girl who was in the bottom 3 for 3 weeks in a row - Farah!!

It came to no surprise to me but I don't quite understand why Elaine is rooting for her. First reason being that, despite the fact that she is pretty (provided she doesn't start showing "faces"), she still does not have the figure fit for a runway model. I think she could be categorized as being pear-shaped? Secondly, well, she has been in the bottom 3 for 3 weeks in a row!!! Need I say more? When asked how she felt about her elimination, she could only say that she definitely saw this coming and perhaps she may not have that many supporters out there...

Well, that's that. Now, next week is going to be really tough on the girls as Elaine told them that due to their performance and the viewers feedback, 2 girls will be sent home!! Eeeekkksss!!

MDG2: Jinxed Challenges

The 3rd elimination is just in a few days time....who will it be this time? Could it be Juanita?

There seems to be a pattern as to whom will be the next one to be eliminated from the competition. And that pattern is, the girl who wins the challenge for that particular week, will be the same one eliminated for the next elimination round!!

Challenge No. 1 - Elaine's workshop

Take for example the first challenge which was from Elaine's workshop. Each girl was simply asked to pose in their on way for the camera. Pose in their on way those girls did and in the end it was Acha who won the challenge.

Then came first elimination round, 2 girls were sent home. Acha was one of them, while the other was Maya. It came as a surprise for many coz IMO, I don't think Acha was one of the weakest there. Such a pity really that she had to leave before she could even shine. She really did want this. I hope that she won't just stop here but would continue to pursue her dreams on her own elsewhere....


The second challenge was the Beautilicious workshop. The girls were asked to split into 3 groups, and each group were given the task of either doing the "Retro Look", "Glamorous Night Look" or the "Smokey Eye Look". After Julie(founder of Beautilicious) gave her 2 cents of each of the girls, she announced the Liana was the winner for this challenge....

Challenge No. 2 - Beautilicous Workshop

Before we knew it, it was already time for the second elimination. And Liana was the one with the lowest votes for the week. Sigh, she should have left last week on the grounds that she smuggled in a phone when it was already stated very clearly in the contract that no phones were allowed during their entire stay in the competition.

So could winning the challenges this season mean the end of the girls' chances of being the next Dreamgirl? Well, we'll wait and see who will win the 3rd challenge and find out if she's the next one to be eliminated from the show....

Denezia and Nadia

Elimination rounds has already started now. Who will be the last girl standing? Could it be Denezia???

So last season, we had Nadia. She was said to have an attitude problem, being over-confident, a show-off and also a female canine (for a want of a nicer sounding word). This season, we have Denezia. Though Denezia may not be cocky, have an attitude problem or a show-off, she still does have some sort of similiarity with Nadia.

Season 1 - Nadia

Season 2 - Denezia

The similiraties:-

1) They are both said to take "fierce" looking photos at times
2) They readily said out loud that they did not like some of the other girls in the house. For Nadia, at first she said she didn't quite like Ringo, then after a while, she said that she just couldn't get along with Cindy because of her attitude. On the other hand, Denezia, specifically said that she would like to see the LFN girls to be eliminated soon. The LFN girls are none other than Liana, Farah and Natasha. According to her, she just can't stand them, though she never mentioned what they did that irked her so much...

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

On a side note, I think Denezia really needs to loose that baby fat that she has. For the time being, she better know which camera angle suits her the best, so that that baby fat is not that obvious in the photos.

MDG 2 - Round 2 Elimination

It seemed like only yesterday that Acha and Maya got eliminated from the competition. And today, another girl will be sent back home. You can view the Round 2 Elimination on Episode 9 - Part 5.


So the 3 girls with the lowest votes this week were Shasya, Farah(again??!!) and Liana. And the girl that got sent home is *drum roll*

LIANA!!!!!



Why oh why did she get eliminated now? She should have been eliminated last week, and perhaps Acha could still have been in the show now! I'm still upset that Acha was sent home instead from her.

Yea, i know I shouldn't hold grudges against Liana but she broke the contract and they let her off quite easily???!! The "punishment" she got for smuggling in a handphone was totally unfair to the rest of the girls. Just because SHE smuggled in a handphone, ALL the other girls weren't allowed to call back home for an entire week!!! Most importantly, it was stated in the contract that no phones were allowed during their stay in the competition!!!! If you ask me, they should have been harsher by eliminating her that very week instead of punishing the girls for her wrong-doing.

Hhhhhmm....which makes me wonder, since she was a ex-flight attendant, did she make use of her handphone when she isn't supposed to? Makes me wonder...

And if that's not bad enough, after she was sent home, she didn't seem to be upset the slightest bit that she got home!! She simply said that she was relieved that she got sent home and that she could go home to see her loved ones sooner. It's so unfair!! You could see that she didn't really mind if she was in or out but Acha really wanted this!! Sigh, as they say, life's unfair!!

Pinky and Ringo

This time around, let's bring on the cutesy-cutesy girls on!! That could only be.....Pinky and Ringo!! But as usual, a quick recap on the girls that I have commented on so far....

1) Acha and Cindy

2) Shasya and Eyna

3) Rajvin and Jean
4) Natasha and Hanis

Ok ok...back to Pinky and Ringo. What can I say about their similarites?? Hhhhmmmm....

Season 1 - Ringo aka "Cheesie"

Season 2 - Pinky

The similarities:

1) They have "one-of-a-kind" first names. I mean, how many people do you know that goes by the name Ringo or Pinky? Not that many I bet, at least in this country :p

2) These 2 girls come across as the cutesy cutesy, bubbly personality kind of girls

3) They love the colour pink!! Ringo has a blog and it is pink and she makes no denial that she loves pink. As for Pinky, well, the only reason I could think of is that, well, that is why she named herself Pinky.... XD yeah...i'm lame....whatever.. :p

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

I would say Pinky has 1 advantage that the other girls don't have and that is make-up skills. Being a make-up artist, she of all people should know what she is doing with all the brushes and blending of colours and all that. But I don't know if it was wise of her to say that she wants out of the competition by asking her boyfriend to not vote for her. She says that she is unhappy with where she is now. I guess the stress and drama in the house is getting more intense now.

Eeeerrrmmmmm, Pinky is not exactly one of my favourites coz she still comes across as being a bit childish to me and her command of English is not strong either. Don't get me wrong but she speaks like your Ah Lian next door..... :(
