Learning as I go along in life


This is it (Truly)

I saw This is it on Thursday.  I was a little hesitant to see this movie, because I knew how much of a bittersweet moment it would be.  Yes, we get to see a great performer in action, but at the same time, we will never get to see the final product.  But I saw it, and I loved it.  It was a wonderful way to cap off a bad day I had. 

Memorable Points

The spider from the Thriller sequence (and hearing the Threatened instrumental!).   I want that spider so bad.

Orianthi (Michael:  “I want to hear WAAAAAAAAAHHHH!!!”)

Him singing Speechless.  My jaw dropped when I heard it.  I later relayed to mom that he was singing songs from Invincible (she loves that album).

The chemistry between him and Judith Hill during I Just Can’t Stop Loving You. 

Just hearing his singing voice instead of the lip sync-a-thon that was the HIStory Tour.

This was not exploitation, this was celebration of a complex person who gave so much to a world that takes exceptional people for granted, then act shocked when they forever leave us.

Most of all, I’m glad to see a man who was happy and seemed to be living, not existing.

Whenever I do a belly dance for friends, all the guys would ask me afterwards, “Um, can guys *looks around* bellydance?” 

Yes, they can.

I got my first taste of Martha Graham when I saw a history of dance (Ballet and Modern) show.  The Lamentation dance was what I saw, and I loved it.  I love the music too.

Tributes: I Heart…Shahrukh Khan

I love Shahrukh Khan, he’s a beautiful man who doesn’t take himself seriously.  Some of my favorite musical bits from the various movies of SRK.  I will not be posting videos from Devdas and Don, because I have already dedicated whole posts to them already.

From Asoka.  Asoka holds a special place in my heart because this movie was my official viewing of a Bollywood picture.  And my first viewing of Shahrukh himself.  He is so beautiful here in every scene he’s in, I have to go, “Stop it, I’m trying to follow the plot!”  Oh, and Kareena Kapoor is really cool herself.

O Re Kaanchi (I love this song, but what is up with Ashoka giving Kaurwaki the cold shoulder?)

Tributes: I Heart….Madhuri Dixit

The Divine Madhuri as Chandramukhi in Devdas.  I have a girlcrush on this beautiful lady. 

Dola re Dola with Aishwarya Rai.  Madhuri and Rai had such wonderful chemistry together.  So much that I wanted Paro and Chandramukhi to run away and become a couple themselves.

Favorite Mash-ups

Mashing Radiohead’s Talk Show Host and Tay Zonday’s Chocolate Rain.  Never cared much  for either song, but put them together?  The result is haunting, somber song about failure to move upwards in life.
