I just got home from UP CS’ battle of the bands contest. A lot of comments about the show have been contemplating in my head. I’m about to explode. Here goes..
~Rant 1:
I know this is really mean, but whoever assigned the emcees to host the show must be skinned alive. First of all, they totally bored the audience. I got two words for their jokes: EPIC FAIL! Second, they hold their cue cards high enough to cover their faces. There’s no reason to hide. They’re not ugly. Third, aside from their bad grammar, there were some words they did not pronounce right. Instead of saying detour [d-tur], the lady kept saying [DEH-toor]. It’s so annoying. Lastly, they stutter a lot. It’s obvious that they lack experience. I’m not saying this because I think I’m perfect. I can’t host to save my life. It just ruined the supposed expectations of the show. Moving on……..
~Rant 2:
The sound equipment was really bad. I mean REALLY bad. I was hoping to hear this ‘gifted child’ pianist, who my sister was telling me about since high school. If he was dancing, I’d say that he’s got his groove on. Sadly, his instrument can’t be heard. He was playing two keyboards and this little piano-slash-trumpet called the melodic (not sure if that’s right). Drats! Kudos to him for being sarcastic in bitching about the sound engineer.
~Shock of the night:
There was this band named ‘Mmmm’ and their guitarist shocked me. He looks like a complete geek. If I knew that guy, I wouldn’t think that he’d know how to play the guitar. I thought he came up to the stage to help set up. He can be the type of geek who seems like a mama’s boy and a computer addict with a lot of allergies — fat boy who would most likely take his mom to the prom because no girl wants to be his date (no offense). But when he started doing his solo, all I can say is hands down, bro. I salute you! I’m speechless. He’s like Jimi Hendrix reinvented. I wish I could explain what he did in detail. Anyway, at least he’s got some skills to attract the ladies.
~Highlight of the night:
Dalandan Soda, the last band who played, impressed me. That was the first time I heard their music and it’s pretty good. I particularly noticed one sax player (the thin one). He’s smokin’! I was staring at him the whole time the band was playing. I rarely see guys play the sax. I think it’s soooooo sexy. *wipes drool*
~Note to self:
My next boyfriend MUST be a good saxophone player. I repeat, he MUST be a hella good sax player. I will literally be his slave. *daydreams of Mr. Sexy Sax Man*
