KRIS ALLEN wins AMERICAN IDOL

KRIS ALLEN is crowned the 8th American Idol after competing against Adam Lambert. i would like to enumerate some reasons why Kris Allen had won this competition:

1. he is the type of contestant that an American Idol resembles. unlike Adam Lambert that is so out of the box, the reason why he gained his popularity.
2. the votes of the fans of those who got eliminated shifted to Kris Allen. that includes the youngsters and those under the family orientation. let's admit that the number of rockers are still no match to pop.
3. Kris Allen won the 2 out of 3 rounds from the performances last night. Adam Lambert wasn't so lucky there.

with Kris Allen now the new American Idol, the next battle is the market sales of the singles and albums. good luck guys

Chace Crawford on "Footloose" remake

Chace Crawford will officially star on the Footloose remake as Paramount Pictures confirms on Usmagazine.com.

the Gossip Girl star will play Ren McCormack in the film after it was blocked by the production to release the statement until Wednesday. the lead role was played by Kevin Bacon in the 1984 hit.

however, Zac Efron, the High School Musical star, was also being considered to play the role and created rivalry between fans of Chace Crawford and Zac Efron.

Chace Crawford hasn't officially signed up for the contract and still struggling for making time with his Gossip Girl shoots.

watch scenes from the original Footloose in 1984:



i really hope that this movie will be set up into the modern setting. but it would be fun to see the cast in the 80's fashion bringing the nostalgia among the generation that saw it. besides, girls will be lining up to the cinemas with Chace Crawford starring the movie.

Charice Pempengco sings Note to God on Oprah

Charice Pempengco sings Note to God on the Oprah Show on May 18. this was originally sang by Jojo. again, we are wowed by this talent that gained her stardom from Youtube.

Lyrics:
If I wrote a note to God
I would speak whats in my soul
I'd ask for all the hate to be swept away,
For love to overflow
If I wrote a note to God
I'd pour my heart out on each page
I'd ask for war to end
For peace to mend this world
I'd say, I'd say, I'd say

Give us the strength to make it through
Help us find love cause love is over due
And it looks like we haven't got a clue
Need some help from you
Grant us the faith to carry on
Give us hope when it seems all hope is gone
Cause it seems like so much is goin wrong
On this road we're on

If I wrote a note to God
I would say what on my mind
I'd ask for wisdom to let compassion rule this world
Until these times
If I wrote a note to God
I'd say please help us find our way
End all the bitterness, put some tenderness in our hearts
And I'd say, I'd say, I'd say

Give us the strength to make it through
Help us find love cause love is over due
And it looks like we haven't got a clue
Need some help from you
Grant us the faith to carry on
Give us hope when it seems all hope is gone
Cause it seems like so much is goin wrong
On this road we're on

No, no no no
We can't do this on our own
So

Give us the strength to make it through
Help us find love cause love is over due
And it looks like we haven't got a clue
Need some help from you
Grant us the faith to carry on
Give us hope when it seems all hope is gone
Cause it seems like so much is goin wrong
On this road we're on

If I wrote a note to God

ANGELS and DEMONS movie review

i would like to applaud Ron Howard for delivering a movie that rises your interest from start to end. i haven't read the book yet but the movie itself has redeemed Ron Howard's not-so-good reviews from The Da Vinci Code.

another applause for Dan Brown for creatively stitching all symbolisms and artifacts of the Catholic Church's history in one fiction story that leaves us all thinking if they were true. the politics and ambitions that happen inside Conclave and the so-called "war" between science and religion.

as for those that have read the book and seen the movie, the pope dies and the College of Cardinals was assembled for Conclave. it was there that they choose the next pope. and all rituals are to followed as dictated by tradition: the destruction of the late pope's symbols.

meanwhile, an unexpected come back of the Church's enemy, the group of the Illuminati -- devoted to prove that science is the reason of all existence in contrary of the Church's belief that a Higher Power created all things -- raged upon the creation of Anti-Matter.

the Illuminati had their revenge by kidnapping 4 cardinals and kill them one by one in public according to the four elements: Earth, Air, Fire and Water and lastly to bind the church in light killing all inside the Vatican City. even the killing of the pope was also plotted by the unexpected person, the Carmelengo himself. his presence inside the Vatican made him fulfill his ambition and igniting the war between the church and Illuminati. the manner of the killing among the cardinals were very gruesome and you will feel pity to them.

the movie gave us an inside tour of the Vatican and Rome and it was fascinating how they made the sets almost the exact replicas of the real thing. for they are not allowed with access inside.

i've read the other reviews and they have the same sentiments with this movie. the actors line-up was good and Tom Hanks did better this time. Ayelet Zurer as Vittoria was very effective to the role. and even Ewan McGregor played very well too.
