The Judges

Posted by Khalida Al-Sulaiman

American Idol is the top reality TV show. Singers come to this show to turn themselves into original and successful artists. This season we have seen many talented performers, but sometimes their performances do not reach the high expectations of America. The question is how can these singers take in what the judges say?
We all know that Simon Cowell is the harsh judge. He tends to repeat words like "atrocious" and "horrible". Can you imagine being on stage with the spotlight hitting your face, with millions of people watching you, then someone tells you that your performance was horrible! I am absolutely sure that if that ever happened to me I would simply cry myself to death. Even though I am not a great fan of every competitor on this show, I respect each one of them for coming back each week and trying their best even after receiving some rough words from the judges.

Quincy Market

Posted by Khalida Al-Sulaiman

St.Patrick's Day was the perfect day to go to Quincy Market. All the talented musicians gathered around and filled the air with jazz. It was the perfect time for people to listen to good music and for men to dance around with their short green skirts.

Music Lightens up the Oscars

Posted by Khalida Al-Sulaiman

The Oscars is the biggest night in Hollywood. I was happy to see Kate Winslet finally getting the Best Actress Oscar, Sean Penn the Best Actor Oscar, and Slumdog Millionaire winning 8 Oscars. The music lightened up the night by performances by Beyonce , Hugh Jackman ,and other stars. The best moment of the night was the performances in honor of WALL-E and Slumdog Millionaire. The cast of Slumdog were very passionate in receiving the awards and celebrated with positive energy that hit us from the TV screens.

"Yellow" by Coldplay

Posted by Khalida Al-Sulaiman

Yesterday everyone around the world celebrated the day of love... Valentine's Day. Artists and musicians are big contributers to the concept of love. When we meet someone interesting we tend to listen to love songs over and over again, and actually listen to the words instead of just mumbling with the tune. John Legend, one of my favorite musicians has made the greatest love songs. My favorite 2 songs by Legend are:"PDA(We Just Don't Care)" and "Save Room". Meanwhile; the greatest love story is that of Chris Martin and Gwenyth Paltrow. After meeting Paltrow in a gathering, Martin dedicated a song to Paltrow called "yellow" in 2000. He then invited her to the first concert in which he performed that song. And that is how their love story began.
