"Call Me Maybe"/"Payphone"--KurtHugoSchneider Mashup

This is actually Jessica Jarrell and James Alan singing.

I have to say, they did really put the songs together great.
But I don't really like their voices all that much, because they're a little scratchy, which is their style.
This is actually pretty good, the way they combined it.
Nothing to say. It's great. I think I have the headphones on a little too high, but I think that's perfectly okay. :)
This gets a 9.5/10.
Get listening!!

'Don't Want and Ending'--Sam Tsui

This is an original by Sam Tsui.
I think it was created for the film Kurt Schneider created for their graduation (from Yale, I'm pretty sure).

I love the song... The lyrics are prefectly fit to the melody, and you can hear the way he means what he sings...
And in the music video, he's on a balcony, then he's talking to this girl and they spend time together, and then he helps her pack to go back home after college. Then they load her boxes into her car, and she drives away... then he turns back time and everything goes backwards in fast-forward (or fast-backward...), until he's back on the balcony, where he started. He is holding a watch, which he throws over the end. The song ends, and then the girl comes up from behind him and taps him on the back.
This song is priceless, it doesn't need a rating. :)

'The Poisonwood Bible' Quote

I'm reading 'The Poisonwood Bible' for school, and it's sooo good!

Here's my favorite quote from the youngest girl, Ruth May:

"Our village is going to have this many white people: me, Rachel, Leah, and Adah. Mama. Father. That is six people. Rachel is oldest, I amd youngest. Leah and Adah are in between and they're twins, so maybe they are one person, but I think two, becasuse Leah runs everywhere and climbs trees, but Adah can't, she is bad on one whole side and doesn't talk because she is brain-damaged and also hates us all. She reads books upside down. You are only supposed to hate the Devil, and love everybody else.

My name is Ruth May and I hate the Devil."

'Les Miserables' Trailer 2012

This looks amazing. (I'm not doing a review on it because my headphones don't work, and it automatically gets a 100/10, anyways.)
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ZVUk-BRZVAM
'Les Miserables' is coming to life once again!
The trailer itself is inspiring: see how much a whole movie could do!
I can't help but think... they must have had a WHOLE lot of super-cooperative extras...
I can't wait to see this movie!!

Jake Short on Teens React!!

Jake Short is on Teens React as a Guest Star! And the video... is creepy.

'Titanium'--David Guetta COVER Sam Tsui

Another Sam Tsui cover, I know.
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=CXit8kxCCTg&list=UUplkk3J5wrEl0TNrthHjq4Q&index=0&feature=plcp
'Titanium' has a really creepy and light tune, and Sam's voice matches, especially the falsetto part.
The video is, well, just them making the music, so, again, nothing much to say there.
I'm glad they got back together to make songs. I thought they weren't working together anymore.
Overall, this one is a 9.3/10.

'Rocketeer'--Far East Movement COVER Jake Bruene and Kurt Schneider

This is another Kurt Schneider cover, but with Jake Bruene.

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=hq0VHAl48Vk&feature=plcp

Jake has a really nice falsetto. Or... just a soprano voice. o.O 2:36 is amazingly high. I'm not sure I can even sing that high.

And Kurt... oh, Kurt... rapping... I'm still laughing. "FLY. FLY. FLY. FLY. UP-UP, HERE WE GO. UP-UP HERE WE GO."

Overall, I'd give it a... 9.5/10, cause it's actually really good.
