First of all, we have a winner at the German Idol and I’m happy with the results. The finale actually was pretty boring, considering that both guys could really sing. I’m watching for snark, not talent. Anyway, here’s one advice I’m giving to all past, present and future contestants: Don’t ever ever ever sing Robbie […]

I wanted Kevin on the show. So sue me. I love him. I know his voice isn’t really great, but he’s so damn cool. Also, he reminds me a lot of my cousin, so I would have hated to see him go. I bet he’ll be one of the first to go, but he’s so […]

Oh, damnit. I wanted Brittany and Josh to win. I know that wasn’t possible, but I so wanted it. Although Josh certainly deserved it more, Brittany was just too sweet. Damn. Of course, the one question for Cher was a freebie. „Wes“ was an answer so obvious, it was ridiculous and unfair. Who made these […]

So this is the first day of my week off. Actually it’s the Saturday before the first day of my week off, but anyhow… I won’t have to go back to work next Monday. A great way to start my vacation would be if the postman would ring and bring me Gilmore Girls season five […]

I think anybody who lists Whitney Houston and Mariah Carey as their favorite singers should be thrown out of the American Idol contest effective immediately. The reason should be obvious. So, sorry Heather, I don’t think I have even heard you sing, but you just failed the most basic musical taste test. Make room for […]

I’m very emotional these last days. Today I had tears in my eyes while reading „The Kite Runner“, which after 100 pages may already have qualified for the saddest book I’ve read in a long time. Why didn’t anyone warn me? Are all you people who put it in first place at the Puddly’s Awards […]

Am I just incredibly naive or is „The Beauty and the Geek“ a really heartwarming and sweet show? I have only seen the first two episodes, and right now I’m totally rooting for Thais and Tyson. Awwww. So cute.

Honest to god, I’m really sorry, but about every damn girl in Germany has decided to sacrifice „Fallin’“ to our dear Lord of Bad Singing. Worship here.

How cool is Rob Thomas??? I’ll tell ya. On a scale from 1 to 10 with Joss Whedon floating high above with a never-to-be-beaten 194, Rob Thomas has just reached a very safe and totally deserved 11. Because using the doomed „Lost“ numbers for Veronica’s fortune cookie paper? That? Is damn cool.

Because it is such a hit, here’s another example of how good exactly we Germans are at singing. Enjoy. And please don’t sue me. (It seems not right to file this under „On Music“, but I do it anyway.)
