Two of the most amazing musical artists that have ever lived, in my opinion, both happen to be named Michael.

One, i rant about in every other post..Michael (Mike) Kenji Shinoda.

But the other one..needs no intro. he is THE Michael. Michael Jackson.

(inside joke here, but what the hell is with me and Michaels? haha)

So i just watched "This is it". Absolute must-see for all MJ fans. I think its great for showing audiences the work put into making concerts like these...esp the work Michael Jackson himself puts into his performances. A real perfectionist..but that's something we don't really seem to see in artists today. He knows how to use the tiny and seemingly insignificant things like timing & silence to up the anticipation/value of his performances. And despite not having performed for about 10 years..man..that guy KNOWS his songs.

You can just tell that every single person in that film (all those working on the concert) are in absolute awe of them. And why wouldn' they be? Man... what an honour it is to be dancing/playing for him. i can only imagine..

I found it interesting that it was a girl and not Slash who plays the guitar for "black and white". From what I heard, MJ uses NO ONE but Slash to play that.BUt can't help feeling proud that it was a GIRL who ROCKED OUT on that one...she was gooood.

And trust MJ to take concerts to a higher level...green screens, massive sets on stage, lighting..
It was almost as if he was re-creating all his old videos right there on stage, live.

One thing that was a little sad though...was watching him dance. You can see that his movements aren't very sharp, and he seems to be uncomfortable/in pain dancing. But that's what old age does to you. And there's all that talk about his health. guess you can't expect him to move around like he used to in those days... I guess dancing next to all his back up dancers does kinda accentuate his lack of strength a bit. but man..when its just him performing on stage, you can just see the awe and respect his back up dancers have for him, cheering their asses off, off-stage.. He is, i'm sure the reason why most of them even started dancing in the first place.

I guess i could go on about it, but i shall end with this. I honestly cannot think of anyone on this PLANET who had the effect on the world Michael Jackson had. And all that done through music. Simply amazing. But, with all that shit he went through (shit that he didn't deserve to go through), I'm happy for him that he's in a better place now.

R.I.P MJ.

i miss singlish. not the 'lor', 'hor' type that absolutely drives me insane. but like..u know, the random insertion of malay/chinese/tamil words in an english sentence that probably only a person like you (not necessarily any other singaporean) would understand type of singlish?

its weird how one minute i feel like i have more in common with aussies than singaporeans and the next i couldn't feel like any more like a complete foreigner.

and dont get me started on the food.

:(

50 more days until its touchdown on singapore soil.

and i bet in 51 days i'll take all of the above back.

so, like all other 'life-changing-once-in-a-lifetime-i-can-now-die-in-peace' type of events i have gone to.. the first thing i do when i get back home is blog about it. okay... not true. i was on facebook. and i'm blogging to kill time as my videos upload. point is

KEISHA SRINIVASAN WATCHED THE BEST DANCE CREW THAT HAS EVER STEPPED ON THIS PLANET LIVE IN ACTION.

that's right.... THE JABBAWOCKEEZ!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

GAH! i loved them the minute i saw them on ABDC 1( i'll be honest and tell u that i've never reallly watched most of the other crews on season 1 perform because i kept reverting back to jabba every 5 minutes). the most PERFECT 7 people dance crew ever created. For a while i was pretty crazy over Quest Crew (ABDC season 3 winners) but..Man. they aint' got NUTHIN over the Jabbawockeez. seriously. hands down.

I'd carry on ranting, but i'm sure u get the point by now.

And for those interested and are 'friends' with me on facebook, the vids are on my profile. :D man my arm was aching as hell but it was definitely worth it so that i can keep reliving the experience!

OH! and of ALL days to wear my heels (4 inches high) i choose a JABBAWOCKEEZ CONCERT. does tht make sense??? it's a friggin hiphop show! and, i completely forgot that it was free seating. so we ended up lining up for about 50 mins. me in those heels!!!!!!

oh. and the other acts were pretty cool. dance crews from brissie, and DJs from all over aus. Was a little long having to wait for jabba at the end but SO WORTH IT!

can't remember the last time i felt this lonely.

hmm.

on the upside, today was my first time ever on an actual movie set. just a local queensland production, but a feature film nonetheless. Basically spent the entire 8 hours i was there (it was supposed to be 10), going "excuse me! sorry you can't walk this way, the area's closed for filming". But then again, who would have thought i'd ever be in the position to say that. so that's awesome! definitely a coool experience. and now my feet ache from standing all day.

The New Divide video is gonna look really cool. they get jerked around while strapped to these harness things. looks really fun.

so just about 20 days till i'm back in singapore. man. that is just way weird. but for some reason i'm thinking more about next semester than this upcoming holiday.maybe its cuz i know my time back in singapore will fly by so fast.. it'll feel like a week. so its too short to get excited over. if u know what i mean.

can't wait to see my new home and since i'm broker than i've been in my entire life, i can spend most of my holiday setting up my new room. that's the first time i can officially say MY room. Spent the past 20 years (HOLY SHIT THAT SOUNDS DAMN LONG) in either a shared room or half a room (i used to sleep in the attic, which technically was not a room because u could jump down (and sprain your ankle in the process) and reach the the living room)

OOH my dad did mention something about going on a holiday in july! :D:D:D:D most probably a place where we have friends cuz he doesn't feel like doing the whole hotel/touristy type thing.

shit now i'm getting excited for this break and i told myself i won't! okok snapping back to reality... i have to end this blog post and get back to my essay on blogging.
