January Playlist (#TT135)

“Music expresses that which cannot be said and on which it is impossible to be silent.”  -Victor Hugo

Hello lovelies!

It's been a while since the last time I made a TT post. So here it is, the first TT post in 2014! It's gonna be a long one so enjoy! ;)

What's on your current playlist? 

I actually have more to share but it would be wayyyy too long. So I decided to break it into 2 posts. Can't wait to share part 2! 

On a different note, I'm back from Vietnam and my family is coming to Singapore to celebrate Chinese New Year with me :) I'm so in a holiday mood! 

'Til next post!

Lady Gaga vs Katy Perry (#TT120)

Hello lovelies!

There's a handful of new singles being released officially recently, by which two of them are from our pop princesses, Lady Gaga and Katy Perry! Which one is better? You tell me!

We definitely can't wait for the official music videos, right? It will be another battle!

Other songs under my current playlist:

PLL's Keegan Allen and Cody Simpson at Teen Choice Awards 2013 (via Keegan's instagram)

Yes, I just feel the need to post this, because FINALLY they took a picture together! I've noticed their resemblance for forever so THANK GOD for this picture lol.   

Oh, and Pretty Little Liars won 7 awards at the Teen Choice Awards 2013!!! Whooooo!! #proudfan

Have a good week everybody!

Katy or Kelly? (#TT83)

Katy Perry’s  emotional break-up story or…

I wish I knew then
What I know now
Wouldn't dive in
Wouldn't bow down
Gravity hurts
You made it so sweet
Till I woke up on
On the concrete

Kelly Clarkson’s touch on social issues and self-worth.

Nobody's a picture perfect
But we're worth it
You know that we're worth it
Will you love me?
Even with my dark side?

Your choice!

Have a great week!

#TT76 Current favorite songs!

I know I’ve been missing waaayyy too many Tuneful Tuesdays, which therefore I made this list of my favorite songs for the past few months!

Enjoy!

In order of which I discovered first =)

 

I don’t normally dig this type of music, but thanks to the contribution of Bruno Mars that makes this song quite favorable to my ears =) Surprisingly I quite like the lyrics haha, although it’s so NOT me. I wish I could be like that sometimes though =p

 

Cute song, funny video. I remember I straightaway tagged my bf on facebook after discovering it coz I think a games geek like him would like it hehe. Doesn’t it remind you of a movie? =)

 

I know you’re probably bored of this song already! But hey, admit it that this song is beautiful! Plus, I just came across of the official video and oh sweet mother of Jesus!! Taylor looks so prettyyyyyy!!! I totally love her with short bangs!  

 

Don’t know why Rupert Grin is in this but the song is good =) the voice doesn’t quite match Rupert’s face though! Haha.

 

Ed Sheeran againnn <3

 

Many people say that Katy wrote this song for her ex-husband (are they officially divorced yet?), but as for me I honestly don’t really care haha. I like it as it is a pretty powerful song, supported by the video of her being in an army. I’m not sure about her acting in the beginning though, I think she needs to improve on that lol.

 

This is one of the songs that only after you listen to the acoustic version you like the original version.

 

First heard this one on one of the latest 90210 episodes and I immediately got hooked on! LOVE IT =))

 

This one is officially my current “can’t-get-out-of-my-head” song!! The guy is so yummy *drools* hahaha. I keep singing this song till my bf is sick of it lol (right, babe?) ;)

 

Hope you liked this list!

By the way, I’m back home in Jakarta! YAY =D

xo, Jo

Aliens! (TT #40)

From the video perspective, I personally like it. It’s because the fashion in this video is CRAZY! In a good way, of course ;)

The outfits and the makeup just look so unique! Katy stated that she found the inspirations from jellyfishes and amoebas. Read the full article here.

  From the music perspective, I wasn’t really into it at first. But after I heard a cover of a band singing this song, I was like “no way, this can’t be the same song!”. Then I went back to the original song and started to develop an interest lol. I still prefer this band’s cover though, it’s just more of my style. I guess it would be better if Katy sang this song alone.. (sorry Kanye!)

I suddenly recalled this one song of Simple Plan’s, My Alien. I used to listen and sing to it ALL the time! I still love it! Check it out here!

Any thoughts for this particular song/video?

Have a wonderful week!

xo, Jo

Tuneful Tuesday #25

Do you ever feel like a plastic bag,
drifting through the wind
wanting to start again?
Do you ever feel, feel so paper thin
like a house of cards,
one blow from caving in?
Do you ever feel already buried deep?
6 feet under screams but no one seems to hear a thing
Do you know that there's still a chance for you
'Cause there's a spark in you
You just gotta ignite, the light, and let it shine
Just own the night like the 4th of July

You don't have to feel like a waste of space
You're original, cannot be replaced
If you only knew what the future holds
After a hurricane comes a rainbow
Maybe your reason why all the doors are closed
So you could open one that leads you to the perfect road
Like a lightning bolt, your heart will blow
And when it's time, you'll know

Remember that everyone is worthy!

Have a good week! Wednesday is my last exam day! WHOO!

xo, Jo
