                    [Summary] => 

The three judges at “Britain’s Got Talent”, the infamous Simon Cowell included, never expected to hear a wonderful rendition of “I dreamed a dream” of Les Miserables fame from the quirky Susan Boyle.

I really believe the most insidious form of contemporary mental torture would be to make a loop of the video, staple the eyes of some victim wide open and force feed him the "sight and sounds of William Hung" for over 24 hours. Actually, an hour is more than enough.

The OC replaces Buffy in providing my teen-wit fix, this time as a dose of the distant but beautifully messed up lives of the young and rich, enough to keep me from feeling sodden and downtrodden for the rest of the week. But when you leave the thing on, and it’s something like a Sunday night, you end up falling, by dint of having naught else to do, into Reality TV hell. It’s like watching an oncoming train wreck, but one that’s headed right at you.

Dahil sa kakaibang guts ni William ay kinuha pa rin siyang recording artists ng Koch Records at ang album niya ay ipinamamahagi ng Universal Records. Upang maging channel of inspiration sa ibang tao. Ngayon mas nauna pa siyang sumikat sa tatanghaling American idol ng show. Kaya kahit saan magpunta ngayon si William Hung ay dinudumog siya ng tao.

Bilib sa sarili or matapang ang apog. That is how they describe people whose estimate of themselves and their capabilities defy all logic. They probably said that while watching auditions for this year’s edition of American Idol. And I wholeheartedly agree. Just as any open call for tryouts can tax one’s patience or incredulity, there were so many of them with bilib sa sarili who showed up.

Gil [SectionName] => Entertainment [SectionUrl] => entertainment [URL] => ) [8] => Array ( [ArticleID] => 249385 [Title] => Election Ennui [Summary] => The lines between politics and show business have really been blurred. The wife of one congressman half-jokingly said that the only real qualifications one now needs for a successful run are how well one sings Mr. Suave, Ocho-Ocho and Bulaklak (at this level, even William Hung of American Idol is considered a ‘good’ singer), and how well one can dance to those aforementioned songs. Nothing else seems to matter.

Scorpio can be an extremely imaginative influence. When applied to understanding traditions and rituals, a familiar story may emerge and grab our consciousness in a new way. If getting together with family, focus on what gives your family a unique identity.
