Jazzy Nite

Java Jazz Festival 2006

I watch local station, MetroTV, with their show, Jakarta International Java Jazz Festival 2006 featuring Incognito. Six years ago, Incognito was being my first Jazz band. I collect their album(cassete) but unfortunatelly all of them was broken. Incognito's played Acid Jazz with soul and funk. The song titled 'Still A Friend Of Mine' was good and my most favourite Acid Jazz's songs.

I always wondered : When will I go to watch Jazz Festival ? (Mimpi kali yeeee...)


American Idol 5

Yeah, in the middle of the nite, American Idol season 5 on RCTI. Love this theme of this week, The American Song Book Editions. Also for the great guest star, Rod Steward. He has Jazz standard album called The Great American Song Book Volume I, II, III and IV. That's why Mr. Steward to be guest star of the show I guess. I have his album for volume IV. Nice to listen Mr. Rod with Jazz standard. A bit of surprise with the bottom three of this week. Chris and Paris was good that nite.

It's gonna be hard week for Chris I think. He must sang Jazz standard song, What A Wonderful World, with his rock style. Not bad, Chris! The Minie Mouse's voice, Paris, was fantastic. She sang 'These Foolish Things' and grant with compliment from the judges. Like Simon Cowell said, she sang so mature even she was 17 years old. Well done, Paris! The American vote for Ace Young was correct in my oppinion. He sang 'You Send Me' as so so as well. Bye, Ace!

The most fantastic performance by Katharine McPhee with 'Someone To Watch Over Me'. Dammn, she's hot. The right song's choice. She will be a star somedays.


There's a somebody I'm longin' to see
I hope that he, turns out to be
Someone who'll watch over me

I'm a little lamb who's lost in the wood
I know I could, always be good
To one who'll watch over me

He may not be the man some
Girls think of as handsome
To my heart he carries the key

Won't you tell him please to put on some speed
Follow my lead, oh, how I need
Someone to watch over me

Can't wait for next week with Andrea Bocelli's Love Song Editions.Wow..he's my Classicals Crossover's favourite singer. Again, it will be the hardest week for Chris Daughtry I guess. Let we see next week.


Theme Song

Someone To Watch Over Me by Renee Olstead featuring Chris Botti

Hey Chev.. me waiting for next week andrea's bocelli week on A1 too! Hmm.. I don't agree with you though, i thought ace was booted out too early. If it were me, I would have booted out Kelly who admitted that she botched her song. But then again, what do I know? I guess personality and likeability factor DO come in instead of just singing talent.
I like Katherine's voice though, not only her song. My personal favourite, is Taylor, the white haired guy with the million dollar personality... :-)
I have a suggesstion for you; why dont' you review next week's Am Idol performance? Would love to read it and comment!!

Unfortunatelly, I missed to see Kelly's performance that nite. Yeah, Taylor the gray hair was good too. But he's not my type of musics, the way he sang sometimes "mengada-ada" for me..he he..Well, my prediction about next week ? Good idea. To tell you, I just buy Andrea Bocelli's newest album, Amore, so many great musician in there. There are Kenny G, Christina Aguilera and Stevie Wonder.
