Sing Off Season 3

I watched Sing Off Season 3 in 2011 and found that it is an amazing show where talented singers do A Capella versions of just about any song you could think of.  Although, I did not watch the previous seasons of Sing Off, I was amazed with the talents of the participants. I never thought that an A Capella version is even more nice to listen to than the original version.

One particular group that I rooted for is Delilah. Their first entry was "Grenade" by Bruno Mars (see video below). It was so powerful that they nailed it and set the bars too high for them to reach. Sadly after, they did not make it to the finals and got eliminated on Episode 8. Another favorite entry done by Delilah is "Whataya Want From Me" By Adam Lambert.

Pentatonix was the champion in season 4. My favorite entry is "Video Killed the Radio Star" and "E.T.". This group is a bunch of kids. Imagine kids with powerful voices. At the start of the competition, they did not really stand out but also not left behind. The group never stepped on the bottom place, not even once. What is good about this group is that they explore and take risk on their arrangement. They have the best beatbox and bass----soooo looow.

I am so looking forward to the next season which will be later this year.

Enjoy the best song in the competition, at least for me. ^_^

Korean Drama: Boys Over Flowers (2009)


1233793982 boys-over-flowers.jpgGeum Jan Di (Goo Hye-Sun) is a poor but strong girl who does just about anything to live. Because of her strong attitude, she got admitted to an exclusive school where only the rich an afford. She did not have any friends and often gets bullied by the rich kids. She met the princes of the school, the F4, composed of  Goo Jun-pyo (Lee Min-ho), Yoon Ji-hoo (Kim Hyun-joong), So Yi-jung (Kim Bum), and Song Woo-bin (Kim Joon). Their first meeting was not a very pleasant one. They started out as enemies and eventually they liked Jan Di for her strong will and attitude which made Jun-Pyo fall for her. As the story progressed, a love triangle sparks between Jan Di, Jun Pyo and Ji Hoo.Thier adventure as friends and the challenges that they have to overcome is what the story is all about. (see wiki)

This drama is an adaptation of the Japanese manga Hana Yori Dango. It is the fifth adaptation of the said manga, Meteor Garden (Taiwanese drama) being the first adaptation. This was the series that made Lee Min Ho rise up. I watched this only after I watched his other drama, Personal Taste. I thought that the story would be the same with Meteor Garden (I watched this from start to end and even skipped school just to watch the drama LOL), which was actually true but there was something on this drama that distinguishes it from Meteor Garden and that is Lee Min Ho himself. The story may seem like just another teeny bopper drama but it the cast played it right to the point that it levels up to other successful drama's such as Winter Sonata.
