Ahh, no time to post yesterday but I'm going to talk today. I have a lot to rant about. Here is the Top 10 results:
1. Adam Castelli
2. Mark Day
3. Mitch Macdonald
4. Mookie Morris
5. Sebastian Pigott
6. Earl Stevenson
7. Katherine St-Laurent
8. Theo Tams
9. Amberly Thiessen
10. Drew Wright
Lovely, don't you think? Rather horrible in my mind!! There are lot of people who shouldn't even be in the top 10!!! Here are the people who I don't think should be on there.
1. Adam Catelli
2. Mark Day
3. Drew Wright
and maybe...
4. Mitch Macdonald
Adam is rather a horrible singer I think, not very pleasing to hear, that's for sure. I really don't think he's Top 10 material, not at all. Ugh, how did he get in, horrible I tell you. Mark, well, I think he's average, his singing isn't very unique and all three of his performances weren't great, they were just average and a whole lot of the people in the Top 10 done way better than him and even the people who got voted off. This is not about average anymore, if he wants my vote, he better step it up a bit. Drew, I can't remember what he sang, as well as Mitch, but they were good, they should stick in my mind but for some reason, they don't which means that their singing wasn't extraordinary so yeah. It doesn't really matter if they are in or not because they're not going to make the Top 5, well at least I hope not anyways. I was always cheering for Theo and Amberly. I don't mind Sebastian being in the Top 10 and I have to admit Katherine has a confident voice so she's good too. Mookie, though I don't like his song selection but his performance was consistently good so he deserves to be on the Top 10 and so does Earl, he's hilarious too! These are the people who got voted off yesterday, I was quite mad about it too.
1. Marie-Pierre Bellerose
2. Katelyn Dawn
3. Martin Kerr
4. Omar Lunan
5. Gary Morissette
6. Oliver Pigott
These are the 3 people who could have replaced the 3 people who I named that shouldn't be in the Top 10. Omar, Oliver, and Martin should be in there I tell you!!!! Both Oliver and Omar's singing was super awesome and though Martin was a bit on the average side, he did pretty well I think. Omar was against Amberly and I wanted both of them to go in but nooo, they didn't which made me mad. Oliver was against his younger brother, Sebastian and the judges said he was a "sex" symbol and like what the heck, of course he isn't. He's better looking than Oliver but still, not that good looking and I think that his looks earned him points that way. Argh. The reason why I would have voted for Oliver is because how he sings is a more serious and passionate way than Sebastian and not that Sebastian's singing was bad, I just think Oliver was just a level higher than him. Oh yeah, what Omar said at the end made me want to cry, he was like he had a great time and he will keep on cheering for the Top 10 and that he had no regrets. Omar had a great voice and he was hilarious too! *sighs* Oh well, what's done is done. I have no comment on anybody else because I think they deserved to be voted off because both Marie-Pierre and Katelyn tried to get votes for their 3rd performance and that's just not going to be enough because you're not suddenly going to get votes because of a performance which you did great on just now. No, Canadian Idol wants consistency, a consistency of good singing.
Now that we have our Top 10, I might to rate on who might go off first. The (1) is the person who will get voted off first and the (10) is going to be the person who wins Canadian Idol in my dreams I hope this will happen.
1. Adam Castelli
2. Mark Day
3. Mitch Macdonald
4. Drew Wright
5. Mookie Morris
6. Katerine St-Laurent
7. Sebastian Pigott
8. Earl Stevenson
9. Amberly Thiessen
10. Theo Tams
Here is the list and from 6-10, I think it can vary as long as Theo wins at the end, it would be great, I think. I don't mind from 5-10 to change as well but I just hope that Mookie doesn't win becuase he seems to be a favourite of Zack and such and it's annoying how Zack thinks that he is only the real Canadian Idol right now and such. Ugh. But here it is, my summary and complaints. Be back soon!
- Mood:
hot - Music:Leavin' - Jesse McCartney
1. Oliver Pigott
2. Sebastian Pigott
3. Earl Stevenson
4. Mitch Macdonald/Drew Wright
That's about all for today's show. I don't think today's performance was that extraordinary but then Zack said that people from yesterday's performance was not that good so the people in today's performance should do better. I for one think that yesterday's performance was better and perhaps that I'm a bit bias but still, I'm bias in a way that I like people who sing good not because of their looks. Actually, it's purely about their singing okay, well not purely but 80% is how they sing they're songs and 20% is their looks (like decent wise). I prefer pop, country, R&B, and bit of rock music. That's the kind of person I am so if you give me a song that you scream in the song, well, heck no, I will definitely not vote for you. But here is my top 10 which I hope would come true.
1. Theo Tams
2. Amberly Thiessen
3. Omar Lunan
4. Oliver Pigott
5. Earl Stevenson
6. Martin Kerr
7. Sebastian Pigott
8. Drew Wright/Mitch Macdonald
9. Katelyn Dawn
10. Katerine St-Laurent
This is it and hopefully it will come true.
Now if they were the top 10, these are the people that will go first to the person that will win which will be last.
1. Katelyn Dawn
2. Drew Wright/Mitch Macdonald
3. Martin Kerr
4. Katerine St-Laurent
5. Sebastian Pigott
6. Earl Stevenson
7. Oliver Pigott
8. Amberly Thiessen
9. Omar Lunan
10. Theo Tams
That's not exactly what I'm hoping for but I hope Theo wins or it has to be either Amerly Thiessen, Omar Lunan and preferably Oliver Pigott instead of Sebastian Pigott. I don't know, I think Oliver is more into all of this, like more serious about winning than Sebastian but maybe I'm wrong. Maybe it's just because I'm basing it on song choice. What else, If somebody other than the top 5 on my list wins, I'll be mad because they are not that good. Maybe I'll put Earl Stevenson in but that's all. Results are tomorrow! Go Theo go!

Want to talk about Canadian Idol and since I can't phone or text, I'll have to cheer for them online. Just a short reply and here are the people that I'm cheering for:
1. Theo Tams (the best of the best)
2. Amberly Thiessen (the best female vocalist)
3. Omar Lunan
4. Martin Kerr
These are the people that I'm rooting for. Hopefully Theo wins because the songs that he has been singing, I know! First time he sung, Apologize. Then second time, he sung Collide and then today, he sung Bubbly. The best I tell you!
Voted off 1st Week:
1. Lindsay Barr
2. Shaun Francisco
3. Tetiana Ostapowych
4. Lindsay Robins
Personally, I don't know these people all that well so no comment.
Voted off 2nd Week:
1. Lisa Bell
2. Paul Clifford
3. Jesse Cottam
4. Jessica Sheppard
Lisa wasn't very good so yeah. Didn't know Paul Clifford and I think Jesse and Jessica deserved another chance before they got voted off.
Today, I watched the first part of the Top 16 and these are the people that I think should be voted off the first group:
1. Adam Castelli
2. Mookie Morris
Maybe Marie-Pierre Bellerose too but only 2 people get voted off.
That's about all for today, I will tell about tomorrow's performance. See ya!

I'll be happy to finisht the Danson Community and get it up and running by the end of the summer. Since I appreciate him so much and him and I are kind of alike so I'm willing to go all out for him. I was very enthusiastic about doing the R-eaL Community UNTIL someone from another forum critisized me and said that I should get to know them better before making a community. Phffftt, what a bunch of junk, like seriously, I have been reading about them since the day the news about them came out. Hello, I know just as much as you thank you very much. Seriously, I'm don't even want to go there and talk anymore. Makes me so mad just thinking about it. >.> This is why I'm starting with Danson's and get that up and running and I'll ask other people to help me manage because I'm sure people in the Danson thread are willing to contribute and I know some of them from the Jiro thread as well. it will be exciting. Also, I want to start on the Alan Luo/Show Luo Community as well. Started watching Corner With Love again and it's so funny and how I love the way Show acts, it makes me laugh so much.

Voila! My collection!!!!!!!
- Music:Hey! Say! JUMP - Star Time
[CLAIM HERE] sing to me the song i love to hear.
the one you wrote just for me.
Yes! Claimed Jiro and Danson! Wished I could have claimed 3 people because I like Yuya Takaki from Hey! Say! JUMP and this here is just gonna be my summary for Hey! Say! JUMP.
Hey! Say! JUMP consists of two subgroups: Hey! Say! BEST and Hey! Say! 7.
These are the people in Hey! Say! JUMP:
Takaki Yuya - 高木雄也 - March 26, 1990 - Songs can capture any feelings.
I try to listen to many happy songs when I’m feeling down. Then, naturally my feelings gets more positive. Also, when I’m mad I let my feelings out by singing, this has an amazing effect. Sometimes my parents tells me “it’s too loud” and get mad at me because I’m singing too loud in the house (laughs). But, I think it’s better to let my angers out by singing than on people. Actually, it’s more like the songs captures any of my feelings. I really do think that’s great and I can feel songs helped me in the past.
About the quality of my voice? I hate my voice … (laughs). The only reason I started voice training is because I wanted to change my vocal. But, as told by my teacher, it’s not possible to change the quality of the voice itself… That’s why I can only try to creatively change the way I sing. [(P)But, you have great vocals] There are people who compliments me like that and I’m very grateful for that. But, I’m not satisfied with myself at all. I also have to put more volume into my voice because I want to sing firmly and louder like Yabu kun. For the time being I’m strengthening my abdominal muscle and everyday I’m trying my best but.. The goal is still long way ahead. But my intention is doing my best step by step!
I try to be careful about properly putting my passion in when I’m singing a song. I think the way of expression varies by my awareness of that and the message to the people listening to it will differ too. For example the next new song being released, “Dream Come True” it was more full of spirits. I sang it thinking I’m going to send power to the volley ball players representing Japan. Then, I sang with my soul out by picturing bonds between friends for the insertion song of the drama “Gokusen” also a solo song called “Oretachi no Seishun” [Our youth].
(P) = Producer
Arioka Daiki - 有岡大貴 - April 15, 1991 - I can feel that we are growing as a group.
Since I was little I was a kid who sang a lot. Like walking down the road or shopping at department stores, I sang loudly not caring about where I was. That’s why my older brother refused to walk with me (laughs). It was mostly anime songs but I often did a impression of Matsuda Seiko san [Famous old idol]. Let’s leave the part about being a good impression or not (laughs). Of course now, I don’t sing walking down the road. My bathroom have changed into a stage now. Singing in the bathtub doesn’t not only feel good but it have effect on not showing how scared you are. I get scared easily. Just the other day the Jrs started a scary story in the bath room. The more I think about trying not to remember it, the more I remember. That’s why I started to sing Hey! Say! JUMP’s song very loudly. The result was good (laughs).
Now, I normally listen to western music, I always listen to them when I’m moving to place or before sleeping. I sometimes sing but, I sing by the mood of the song so I can’t possibly sing in front of people (laughs). I go to the karaoke with my friends but there, it’s all Japanese songs. I do sing our songs just for the heck of it but I never grade it. That’s because I’ll feel down if I get a low score on my own song (laughs). Now, if you ask me if I have confidence on singing it’s subtle but comparing to before, I can put out more voice. I think I can sing thinking about how the singing goes just by looking at the lyrics.
The recording for the new song just ended but it’s a easy song to remember. It’s different from the full of happiness kind of songs but , I think it’s more JUMP kind of support song. Please receive our songs we sang with full of passions!
Also, for this concert there is a song where Hikaru raps, Keito raps the English part and I’m in charge of the song. It’s so much fun because it’s a fresh combination. I feel that we are growing as a group by taking on new challenges. It was my first time at a Oska concert but I was able to feel the fun difference comparing to Tokyo! For example the message on the uchiwa [fans] was in kansai dialect.
Kei Inoo - 八乙女光 - June 22, 1990
Yaotome Hikaru - 薮宏太 - December 2, 1990 - Everyday, there's a song nonstop in my head.
To me songs are why I get stressed and at the same time it’s a necessary essential like oxygen. I have songs inside my head nonstop everyday. Why it’s a stress is because I have a goal that, even if it’s a hard song, I want to improve the musical range, interval and the skill so I don’t feel how difficult it is. I’m constantly thinking I want more. I liked singing since I was little. When I was in primary school, I used to sing with the choreography every time I learned a new song and I made my mother tape that video of me. There was some non-Japanese music too and the lyrics were very random (laughs). As expected I don’t tape myself anymore (laughs) but, I love singing and I go to karaoke too. If I don’t get hold of my friends I go there by myself and it can usually go up to 3 hours. You can tell I really love it, don’t you? (laughs). The way I think towards or presenting songs between my work and my private time is completely different. In my private time I can let my feelings out so I can sing my soul into it for myself. But when it’s during work I try to let my feelings out by sending messages to the listeners or make myself more appealing to that person. Of course I love both songs but I don’t want anyone to see me singing alone in my private time (laughs).
The new song’s lyrics and melody is very easy to remember. During the song, there is a certain lyric that comes up 3 times but I think you’ll be able to feel a mysterious sensation from different ways of receiving even though it’s the same words. It’s a funny song, please listen to it!
Also, the concert. I was very excited to be able to organize this time. I went through a lot to be here. The stage didn’t go as I ideally planed but I learned that safety is important too and the members gave me more opinions than usual about the performances. During the concert, I was so happy to see the smiles on the fans and the members. It was a good experience and I learned more about the members. I got more thoughts on what I want to do next, this is starting to be a habit of mine (laughs).
Kota Yabu - 伊野尾慧 - January 31, 1990
Yuto Nakajima - 中島裕翔 - August 10, 1993
Yamada Ryosuke - 山田涼介 - May 9, 1993 - The important thing is to put your soul into it.
Before I started this business I played a lot of soccer and honestly, I didn’t have any interest in songs. But after I got into the agency and listening to different kind of music I started to like them. I go to karaoke and sing different kinds of songs in my personal time too. Singing at home? Never! I get really embarrassed when my family members hears me singing (laughs). But a while ago, I thought no one was home so I was singing very enthusiastically in the bathtub then my parents witnessed it … (laughs). That was embarrassing…
I think my songs are still bad. But, I’m so bad at it that I can put all my effort into it by thinking “ I want to be better.” If I think “I’m good” then it’ll just end there. Fortunately there are fans who tells me “you’re good at singing” but that’s their own judgment so, that’s totally different from my own. I have no intention of being washed away or get drowned by people’s opinion. I really like Yabu kun’s vocal in the members. He’s voice isn’t just good, it’s also a voice that echoes in your soul. It feels like it gives you a nudge when you’re listening to him. I think that’s because he puts his soul into it when he sings. Even though I’m still bad, I do put my soul in when I’m singing with all my energy. Actually, it’s not just singing, it’s most important to put your soul into anything you do! I’ll never want to do a sloppy job then have a gap in my soul.
At last a comment about the new song. I was very moved by the lyrics when I first listened to this song. The message about “let’s dream” is really good. That’s why I put all of my soul into the recording, hoping that I can bring people who are listening to this song a good dream. I think regardless of who they are, they have things they are sad or painful about in their lives. But, I think it’ll be the best if anyone listening to this song smile or even be happy a little bit!
Chinen Yuri - 知念侑李 - November 30, 1993 - I usually sing songs in my life.
Of course I like singing at the concerts but I like singing in the recordings as much also. I don’t even know what to say about the sense of accomplishment I get from singing well until I feel satisfied. In my life, I usually sing lots of songs. For example, when I take a bath, I sing enthusiastically with the song I put on outside the bathroom door. The songs depends on how I feel but I often play Arashi or KAT-TUN. I also go sing at karaoke. Recently, I went and bought Arashi’s “Step and Go” right after the release and sang enthusiastically! (laughs)
About my vocal… it’s subtle (laughs). Honestly, I don’t think I like it… When I watch it on TV I get upset thinking “this is how I sound like” (laughs). From now on, I think my voice will be lower than now but I still want to sing high pitched songs. I would like to expand my singing range from now on. I wish I can be like Yabu kun, being able to sing many different songs. From the seniors around me who sings well is no doubt Ohno kun! Also the quality of his voice is very gentle, I really do think that’s good. In the future, I would like to go on the end of the year count down concert and sing duet with Ohno kun there !! Actually, it doesn’t have to go far as duet, but I just want to do something near Ohno kun (laughs).
And about the new song “Dream come true”. In this song , the word “Dream” comes up a lot. I think that’s pretty straight forward and it’s a happy powerful song that won’t lose to “Ultra Music Power”. I hope many people will listen to it. We shot the PV for this song and I did my best jumping with my jumping shoes! (laughs). It was fun playing badminton with the members in the spare time! I think the video has lots of harmonious atmosphere of us so please look forward to it!
Morimoto Ryutaro - 森本龍太郎 - April 6, 1995 - I want to sing songs I made at the concert.
I love songs but if I were to self-evaluate, I’m still at the starting point. I want to be a person who writes his own lyrics and make songs. I used to have fun just singing but looking at different seniors and being able to do concerts, my point of view about songs have changed. I think it’s cool to see my seniors making his own lyrics for the concert, I’m really moved. Because, writing lyrics means sending messages about what you saw, felt or thought into a song right? I would be impressed if that was me. Wouldn’t be great if I could do that for real? I don’t know whether it’s because my goal but lately when I listen to a song, I’m starting to get interested into the arrangements of the song, not just the lyrics or song itself. Gosh, there’s so many things I want to learn (laughs). It might sound difficult but I’m excited. I used to listen to V6’s “TAKE ME HIGHER”. I completely remembered it while I watched “ultraman tiga” every week because I loved it so much. My mood still gets high from remembering the memories when ever I hear the song. It’s my important number one reminiscence song.
The new song releasing in May is a song full of dreams. I think you can see different side of JUMP from before, please look forward to it.
At last, about the Osaka-jo hall concert. This time Hikaru kun organized it. The plan was big and fun that you can see that he thought about us very hard. It’s truly amazing! It looked hard when he was planning but, I want to do it someday. It’s true about songs but it feels like I like to work out from zero and make something out of it (laughs). Oh, also I did my best as a MC at concert this time. I talked about a dream I had about eating dog food at Osaka and I was relieved that the fans was laughing (laughs). It was my goal to participate as a proactive MC so, I guess half of my goal was achieved. I’m going to do my best at Tokyo for the other half!
Okamoto Keito - 岡本圭人 - April 1, 1993 - I still sing various kind of songs, when I’m at home.
There was a time when I was able to sing the song “Midnight Train” at Odaiba concert soon as I got in as a Jr. I was so nervous that time! Comparing to myself now I’m getting used to singing in front of people and I’m starting feel the fun out of it. I’ve had fun singing at Osaka-jo Hall. Not only singing at the concert, I had fun being on the performance side with all the different devices used! Above all making a scene from the story where I get shot by Hikaru kun and falling from a high place was especially fun. The crane takes us up to a very high place so I was scared during the rehearsal but I did it calmly during the actual performance. I’m looking forward to the next concert now!
Then going back to the story about the song, I loved singing since I was little. I sing various kind of songs, when I’m at home. Especially in the bathroom or the restroom, I like singing in small places that echoes the sounds (laughs). I guess I often get in my bed and sing enthusiastically and loudly. About how enthusiastic I sing… I don’t think it’s not as much yet. To get better I guess I have to practice. Since it is what I love to do, I’ll absolutely do my best to get better! I think Yabu kun is the best singer in the members. Not only he can sing good he sings cool and his voice is sexy. It’s impossible for me to be that skilled right now (laughs). I like Yuto kun’s powerful voice. For a senior, I like everyone from V6’s singing voice. I find the difference between their normally being nice to having whole another personality singing, very cool.
Finally, about the second single. I think it’s a passionate happy song for the image song of Beijing Olympics volley ball’s last preliminary. I hope everyone get stimulated by listening to this song. There are parts where 7 and BEST are singing split up so, I hope people will feel the fascinations of it.
