David Cook - Time of My Life
I've been waiting for my dreams
To turn into something
I could believe in
And looking for that
Magic rainbow
On the horizon
I couldn't see it
Until I let go
Gave into love and watched all the bitterness burn
Now I'm coming alive
Body and soul
And feelin' my world start to turn
[Chorus]
And I'll taste every moment
And live it out loud
I know this is the time,
This is the time
To be more than a name
Or a face in the crowd
I know this is the time
This is the time of my life
Time of my life
Holding onto things that vanished
Into the air
Left me in pieces
But now I'm rising from the ashes
Finding my wings
And all that I needed
Was there all along
Within my reach
As close as the beat of my heart
[Chorus]
And I'm out on the edge of forever
Ready to run
I'm keeping my feet on the ground
My arms open wide
My face to the sun
Time of my life
More than a name
Or a face in the crowd
I know
This is the time
This is the time of my life.
This is the time of my life.

I like this song the first time I heard him sing it after he won, love the CD version, adore the LIVE version. ^^
Cook's winning moment made me like him even though I didn't watch the season; I loved how he seemed like a big brother to the younger Archuleta, to how he didn't break off when singing his winning song even when he was crying. I think he's very versatile (after listening to his performance audios) and has good singing technique. The only thing is that his voice sounds hoarse sometimes that I can't really hear the words. But that's okay since it sounds nice. =)

蔡旻佑 - The Love I Know (audio)
One day someone X me
what does love really mean to me
I said how should I know
I have never been in love before
But there is something that I know
It truly tortures when it comes to love
And there are some things that I have seen
Love doesn't always shine and gleam
[Chorus]
If you wanna know what I think
I think I'll tell you that I still believe
Believe that one day it'll be my turn
to fall into the mess I have seen before

This song is not bad and I like the lyrics, even though I have no idea why there's an "X" there instead of "asked", LOL. xD It's in English and there's a Chinese version too in the album, but I prefer the English version 'cos I heard it first, haha.
I listened to 蔡旻佑's album and actually found that I like most of songs there, including the ballads and the rock-ish songs. [Stay with Me | 我回來了 | 2人 | 没有人要的孩子 | 老地方 | 台北21℃] I think that some songs are Avril-Lavigne-influenced (like the line "k fine so whatever" line in 我回來了 and the beginning of 没有人要的孩子), but the songs are generally good.
Anyway, he composes all of his songs, writes some of the lyrics, plays guitar, piano and violin, sings considerably well, looks not too bad (he got so SKINNY; is that a good or bad thing? =X), all at the age of 21 (phew). He sang Jay's 雙截棍 ballad version on the spot and honestly it sounds good, so much so that after he sang it 小猪 was like, "你会红啦!" and sang him praises, lol. (His smile while singing the "雙截棍~ 雙截棍~" line is funnily adorable lmao.) So I really think I should pretend that I never heard anyone calling him "the next 周杰倫" before. 'Cos that'd just brings in the comparison, and uhm. Let's just stop it at that. xDD But yeah, seriously, 蔡旻佑, you're talented and all, but you've still got a long way to go, so 加油! =)

吳克群 - 為你寫詩 (MV)
愛情 是一種怪事 我開始全身不受控制
愛情 是一種本事 我開始連自己都不是
為你 我做了太多的傻事
第一件就是 為你寫詩
[Chorus]
為你寫詩 為你靜止 為你做不可能的事
為你 我學會彈琴寫詞 為你失去理智
為你寫詩 為你靜止 為你做不可能的事
為你 彈奏所有情歌的句子 我忘了說 最美的是你的名字
愛情 是一種怪事 你的笑容是唯一宗旨
愛情 是一種本事 我在你心裡什麼位子
為你 我做了太多的傻事
第一件就是 為你寫詩
[Chorus]
我什麼都能忘記 但唯一不忘是你的名字
我什麼都能忘記 但唯一不忘是你的樣子

This song is so MUSHY, lol. But I like it! xD (I'm not a
I think 吳克群 is a very good lyricist; I just LOVE how he can make every line rhymes. (Like also in 牽牽牽手 and 我不管 of the new album.) He's got his own style of composing (I don't know how to describe it =X) and singing. I like his voice a lot; it's low and deep and he sings with groove. 8D He composed AND wrote every song in this album; it's really commendable. =) However, even though I like a couple of songs in his newer album, I prefer his previous album. I may have to listen to them more though, maybe the quirky songs will grow on me. xP [牵牵牵手 | 越爱越难过 | 我不管 ]
