AMERICAN IDOL is BACK! ^_^

American Idol Season 8 just started today and as figures came out, it was kind of disappointing to know that only 30.1 Million people watched this show in the US.

HELLO?! 30.1 million?! hahahah...

This is now the most-watched prime-time show of the TV season so far. The format of the show kinda changed because they are now dealing with 4 judges. The Grammy Awards nominated songwriter Kara DioGuardi will take a seat next to Randy Jackson, Simon Cowell, and Paula Abdul. Kara is no push over as far as what she's been doing earlier in the auditions. She will probably play along the breeds of Simon rather than Paula Abdul. She's described as another mean girl in the bunch next to you know who (O_o). I find her okay as far as her judging tastes are concerned but it will be a challenge to see when they have ties in the show. Somebody may have to break that up and it ain't Paula Abdul that's gonna quit the show like what rumors have been circulating. Those are just nasty.

What's most interesting in the auditions earlier was this girl named Katrina Darrell, 20 who auditions for American Idol in Phoenix, Arizona. Look at what she wore:

See what I mean when I said she wore something interesting?~

But that still did not get her to American Idol... with her first class karaoke performance? Simon still did not get her through. But if I were in their place, I'd probably give her a break. Hehehe. Did you get to watch the show earlier? Here you go!

Comments would be nice! ^_^

Manga at its Finest!

I have long been a fan of Japanese Animation. Even way back in high school, I remember going to Green hills Shopping Center and buying beta max tapes so I could watch numerous episodes of Dragon Ball Z. From the time GOKU was a kid until everybody else in the cast was around, I never missed a single episode. I watched each saga unfold until the other episodes came out and got watched in free TV today. I was really ahead of everybody even if those which I watched were all in Japanese. I learned a few verses and phrases which made me take even a couple of lessons in the language. It never really left me because I still watch them until now and I enjoy every bit of it.

Today it’s just not about GOKU anymore or his adventures, there are a lot of Japanese anime titles that came out to compete with the best that TOEI Animation has released. I am now a big follower of the NARUTO series. The latest one shown in Japan talks about them finding the hideout of the infamous villain OROCHIMARU and plans to flush him out are on the way. There are several minions of him that have more powerful GENJUTSU’S and are plotting attacks versus the hidden leaf village called KONOHA. The plot thickens as each episode is released; I really am excited to watch more of this together with my other favorites like EYESHIELD21, HUNTER X HUNTER, BLEACH, INU YASHA, and HAJIME NO IPPO.

If you are excited as I am then why don’t you join me in ZENMANGA. This site has been created to let MANGA lovers read their favorites online for free. I for one is starting here at http://www.zenmanga.com/Naruto. If you know what it’s like in zenmanga - read free manga now. See you there!

Singing in Superbowl : Jennifer Hudson

I just watched this in CNN a while ago and was ecstatic just like some of you too. With the newest season of American Idol airing here 6PM, people are looking for the one who made headlines a couple of weeks ago. She is Jennifer Hudson, and she will sing in this year's SUPERBOWL.

This is the grandest sports event in the United States and people always look forward for the shows before the actual game. With the disaster that came upon her 57-year-old mother, Darnell Hudson; 29-year-old brother Jason Hudson; and 7-year-old nephew Julian King that were slain in Chicago in October, this is one of the events that she'll be appearing in. She will be singing the National Anthem in the said event while Bruce Springsteen is to sing during halftime of the professional American football championship game. I really am saddened over what happened to her family, if only they could see her now and what she has accomplished I know they too will be proud of her. In this most watched spectacle in US television, I'm sure millions of people would appreciate her outstanding voice. I on the other hand already did. She was even great at her “Dream girls” role which won her a Best Actress award in the Oscars.

Oklahoma Real Estate just got Better

Oklahoma is located in the South Central region of the United States. It is estimated to have about 3.5 Billion residents and a land area of 68,667 square miles. Every time I hear about this state, I remember Billy Gilman's song of the same name. It was one of the few things that made me cry over at MTV.

Oklahoma is the 28th most populous and 20th-largest state. Its name is derived from the words OKLA and HUMMA which means "red people" and is known informally by its name, The Sooner State. It was the 46th state to enter the union and its citizens are known as Oklahomans. The state’s capital and largest city is Oklahoma City.

With small mountain ranges, prairie, and eastern forests, most of Oklahoma lies in the Great Plains which speaks of picturesque places to reside in. It has been subject to many western portraits and landscape paintings because of its natural beauty. I would really love to put up my own farm and live there. The oklahoma city real estate condition is very lucrative and there are houses available for everyone to fit their taste and budget. There are also pre-foreclosure, bank-owned and foreclosure auction properties you can choose from in the Tulsa, Shreveport, Oklahoma, and Louisiana regions. To help you choose the right one in this Democratic driven state, there are a lot of agencies you can go to but the best one still stays to be at http://www.remax-oklahoma.com. Check it out and try to get your dream homes now.
