Bruno mars

Love Bruno mars's songs lately.
"Grenade" to be specific, "just the way you are" is the second highlight,
and realized that he got plenty of nice songs too,
"never say you can't" isn't bad too!

and there goes another idol came into my idol list
after Jay Chou, Jam Hsiao and Gary Chaw.

If I have to rank them down,
i guess below would be the arrangement.
1) Jay Chou
2) Jam Hsiao
3) Bruno Mars
4) Gary Chaw

Rationale behind?
let's go through from the first.
1) Jay Chou
His talent is undeniable. Wide range of instruments that he could play and piano would be his best of all. Huge personal bias contributed my favoritism toward him. His songs accompany me first of all the others genre and artists. And once I attached to it, it never seems that i tend to listen other people's songs. I can say that his songs are one of those that could touch my soul. Comfort me perhaps, revised me of my feeling, and get straight exactly to what i felt. I couldn't deny the fact that Fang Wen Shan's writings are awesome. But i just don't think other's people voice could ever translate the feeling of the lyrics.

2) Jam Hsiao
I saw his spark when he first "pk" the contestant in one of Taiwan famous singing competition "超级星光大道". However, i only felt that he is cool rather than any else. after searching for his background, knowing how he grew, his attitudes, and his songs as time pass, i started fond towards him. just somehow could sense that he is one of the singers that sing their heart out though few of the songs i didn't felt so but most of it yes.

3) Bruno Mars
I don't even know who the hell he is if i never exposed to Jason Chen's songs. To be honest, i am wondering too why i aint have this special admire towards Jason Chen as compared to Bruno Mars. Jason Chen did a cover on "grenade" by Bruno Mars. I feel it is kind of nice, it is then i go and search for his lyrics. i was like wow, nice lyrics and a great cover. lastly, i go and search for the original singer- Bruno Mars and the next thing i know is that i am in kind-of-love-that-milder-than-love with him.

4) Gary Chaw
Frankly speaking, part of the reason that i like Jam Hsiao and Gary Chaw's song are because that one of my friend - Shawn Ng, he can sang so nice in their songs and make me love their songs. that's why i started looking out their songs other than Jay Chou. Gary Chaw, learnt piano without any formal education and purely on his own. His adventure in music industry did much more impact in my liking towards him. someone told him when he first trying to step his foot in Taiwan: you can sing but your face looks ugly, i advise you better get back to where you from - Malaysia, and don't be embarrassing yourself over here. he got hurt but he never give up and keep striving his best, went through tough time of his drunk-and-hit incidents. He shows people who he was, and he changed, keep improving to shows everyone that as long people never give up on him, he will do the same too.

how about your favorite singers? :)
