Beat It by No.3

Hey hey...

I know its abit the late for me to put this in but have a listen to fallout boy's cover of Beat It. Its downloadable on limewire. I think its pretty catchy but thats just me. Its got a nice chorus which the crowd can sing to sort of like let it be. It doesn't have so many words in the chorus. And jo can be more involved with it too. I don't know about the vocals section but Tony did mention before that he doesn't it to be just him but the entire band out there.

Its just a random suggestion by me cause I know its pretty damn late to still be looking for a song. I had a chat about this song with Tony before but he said that there was no message that we sent out. But what if we don't have to send out a message and just do a song...

Just a thought. Thanks muchly.

More ideassssss....

unplugged version

More ideas for vocals and lead guitar..

hit me travis!

Tony, you sing like that we can pull this off!

Finalssssssss

Things to look into....

Thanks to Michy for posting up the videos, after watching it several times, I feel that we are not engaging the crowd enough.

We still stick to our positions (mainly Me and Jo)

As Tony was singing, he couldn't do much, so me and Jo needs to move up to him and play along side him; especially during intervals, intro, solo or ending..

Watch these videos and try to follow them. I feel that they are great examples.

SPARKS FOR LAUGHTER ARE IN THE FINALS OF EMERGE KL

Which takes place on either the 30th or 31st of August =D

Clockwise from top left: Shim, Jin, Tony, Alvin, Jin Seon, Wen Han (above), Amanda, Michelle, Poing, Me *sweet smile*

Can you tell I'm happy?

Can you, can you, can you, can you??

Serious mode =D

My pick and Cowboy hat *Yeehawwww* (accompanied by my guitar and lab coat)

*Jo Kien's Grammy moment begins*

To all the dudes & dudettes who came to cheer for our band today, thank you. To all the people who voted with their money through SMS, Thank you too =D And for those who have supported us but did not show up, thank you, but do show up for the finals (e.g. Shen, Suk Jiun, Carrot? etc etc) And to Justin who showed up just when the judges finished commenting as our last man, Tony left the stage, I shall offer you my cyber-pats *pat pat* And you'll be in Ireland when we play for the finals too, *bah*

*Grammy moment ends*

Our rhythm guitarist (Me la -_-) received some 'constructive criticism" (kena kutuk) by a judge for my rhythm lines, which I fully accept and understand, though my effects pedal did play a role in that gritty-choppy sound (which sounds sweet for fat, rock-oriented power chords). Jin is tempting me to buy more effects pedals, NO NO NO NO, I'm BROKE ok!

Most importantly....

WE'RE IN THE FINALS! WOOT!

Semi Finals

Le Emerge semi finals commences tomorrow night at 8pm (though we'd be there much earlier), hoo hoo haa haa! I wish us (hehe) all good luck! May we play like we play!

Come give us some support will ya, people out there? XD Nyahahaha
