American I-Know-Who's-Going-To-Win!
David Cook will be the season 7 winner of American Idol. Why? Because he is the best. The best of the best. David Archuleta will not win. Why? Because he is young, a bad singer, and still has his baby fat.
Jason Castro will be runer up. He is pretty good, but he needs to change it up a little. Every week it's practically the same thing. Not that he's bad or anything, he's really good.
Brooke should still be in. David Archuleta should have been voted out.
That's all for now, folks!

Good Morning!
Hey everybody! It's Latte again!
OK, last night around 9 PM I got a freakish text message on my phone that said something like this:
insert scary/creepy pic
I am Monay. If you do not send this text message to 9 people i will be standing by your bed with a knife tonight.
Isn't that extremely freakish???? I don't even know the number that sent that message!
Oh, and for all of you that believe in that sort of thing: I am still alive today. There was no person with a knife standing by my bed. As if the would actually happen. Ha!
Well I have to go get dressed now.
Bye,
Latte

??? >X(
...American culture (or its lack thereof) is going down the toilet, straight into Mexico's tap water.
(No offense meant by the Mexican joke, just couldn't resist it! XD)
You know how I know? Because people are getting dumber. Did you know that the average American reads at a fifth grade level? And you know who we have to blame? THE YUPPIE SOCCER MOMS. They, with their dumbness, are not only dragging down our standards themselves, but they're passing the savings onto us! (By dumbing down their kids. Probably can't understand what they're talking about.)
And you know how else I know? BECAUSE AMERICANS ARE LOWERING THEIR STANDARDS FOR GOOD LYRICS.
That, Frappy, gets a 6.9 out of 10. It's too obvious. It doesn't require the thinking. Not only does it not require the thinking, but about 75% of the American population isn't able to do the thinking required to interpret 90% of good lyrics. Because of this, they lower their standards. Music, which should be considered a beautiful, introspective, original, and interpretive thing that expresses deep meaning of one person's views. And about 75% of artists can't even write their own lyrics.
Music should be beautiful. And not beautiful in the pin-up, Pamela Anderson, plastic surgery, fake way. Beautiful as in originally beautiful. Beautiful because it isn't AFRAID to express flaws in society, or people, or flaws in general.
Most popular music is the exact opposite. The ONLY FLAW, the only BAD thing most popular music expresses is something as simple and mediocre as getting grounded or your boyfriend isn't calling you/just dumped you or you weren't invited to that party.
And if it's not expressing simple, mediocre things that are hardly considered bad in the majority of the rest of the world's ways where hardship prevails, it's talking about something horribly overused and cliche. So much for ORIGINAL. Personal disrespect (as in not liking what you see in the mirror) is overused and cliche, almost to a point where it fits into the category of simple and mediocre things. And they do it with happy, upbeat, bubblegum pop music to accompany it.
Ironic, isn't it? It shows how hypocritical these people can be, almost to a point where you can't help but wonder (possibly even hope), that these people FEEL such personal disrespect for themselves. When you're doing the impossible, dumbing down American "culture", then I bet you do.
...Unless you're too dumb to feel it.
Music should be INTROSPECTIVE. It should deeply analyze the world's problems, or personal views. Or at least be poetic. If you're going to talk about a simple, mediocre, or horribly overused and cliche problem, at least be VAGUE and POETIC about it.
...That is, unless you're too absentminded to do it. (Maybe you should question what people tell you, instead of mindlessly going with what they say as long as you getting money is involved?)
Music should be ORIGINAL. And not just for the purpose of copyright laws, either. Music is about expressing yourself. If you can't write your own lyrics, you SHOULDN'T be in the music industry. Seriously. Before the average American can't read. Write original lyrics, about what YOU feel; you're OWN personal views. Talk about a topic that HASN'T already been covered by every artist and their uncle Bob. Don't have boundaries, don't be AFRAID to go "over the top". Point out problems; don't ignore or evade them with emptyminded pop.
...Unless you're to CONFORMATIVE and CONFINED to do it.
Music should be interpretive; it should have meanings within meanings. Double meanings are cool, too, you know. American Dreamin' had two meanings. The overall song talks about Jay-Z's days as a wannabe gangster. The surface meaning could be interpreted as "It's a dangerous business. Don't worry about compromising values or health to be on top. You're lucky if you survive." The real meaning, the meaning within the meaning, that you actually have to think about is amazing; it's a big slap in the face to 80% of the rap industry. (I'll admit, rap IS getting better.) This is the real meaning:
You're now in a game where only time can tell,
Survive the droughts, I wish you well
At this part, the person becomes a gangster; a job of uncertainty. (After all, it certainly isn't your everyday cubicle job.) The person narrating it is pretty much saying "Survive and do good."
Hold on, survive the droughts? I wish you well?!
How sick am I?! I wish you HEALTH.
I wish you wheels, I wish you wealth,
I wish you insight so you can see for yourself.
This is something of a turning point. The guy (Jay-Z) is pretty much saying, "What's wrong with me?! I can't believe I'd say to do good in commiting crimes; I really wish you to be healthy, to be successful in life; I wish you insight so you can see for yourself that crime isn't the answer, that there are better, more safe and ethical ways to earn money and be successful.
THIS is why I love those lyrics.
At the end of the song, it says this:
You can redefine,
The "game" as we know it,
One dream at a time.
It's pretty much saying you can turn the "game" from being in a gang to a more honorable, (or maybe at least LEGAL) profession--and you can start this "revolution" with YOUR dream.
While the beginning shows how he planned to go to college, and how he regrets and feels sorry for choosing crime over college, but he needs the money fast. He actually is APOLOGIZING to his MOTHER.
...And this is one very rare case where it's okay to be direct with the message, as there IS a deeper, underlying meaning.
THIS is how you know if you've got good lyrics.
Now I'm done with the serious rant.
O.M.G. FRAPPY. W.T.H. You TOTALLY stole my joke. And you CAN'T usually pull it off on a blog, 'cause you gotta have the accent and everything. Except for I can, because I'm hilarious.
You want beautiful? Listen to the songs on my Top 10 pretty song list from the last post. Seriously, the first three made me cry my eyes out, they were so sadly beautiful.
Good GRIEF, Latte. DON'T insult Chicago, seriously. Jeez, why don't you move to CALIFORNIA or something?!
(The funny part is that probably no one got that last joke.)
JUST KIDDING. DON'T MOVE TO CALIFORNIA, BECAUSE THAT WOULD TOTALLY SUCK. But really, don't insult Chicago, because I have a GREAT amount of love for Chicago.
Seriously. I LOVED the weather outside today. It was absolutely beautiful. (Except for the fact that it was like, pitch black out way earlier than usual.)
And really, DON'T apologize for your ratings. They're YOU'RE opinion, so you shouldn't apologize. Seriously. I can't STAND it when people apologize for their opinions. Or say "no offense" before or after anything that isn't a racist joke meant for good fun.
...And possibly shock value.
Anyways, I'm out!

The Weather Sucks (and observations on American Idol)
Disclaimer: Neither me or any of the Coffe Snobs is in any way affiliated with the Fox television network or American Idol.
Hey everybody. My post is going to be about just what the title says: how much the weather sucks. (And my observations on American Idol) Enjoy my comments!
First off, the entire "Chicagoland" aree is experiencing very gloomy weather. It is humid yet cold, and it still has not started to rain, so there's nothing interesting to listen to/look at. This is definetly harshing my vibe. : )
Now for my American Idol Talk: Ys everybody, Brooke White got voted off. Personally, I thought she was doing pretty well but apparently, the majority of the -I think- 45 Millinon voters didn't agree with me. Oh well, it's not like she was was going to win.
So: here is my list of the Ranking os the top 4 people from best (#1) to least (#4)
Top 4 rankings:
1. David Cook
Everybody knows that he's the best. He (and David Archuleta) are the only finalists that haven't been in the bottom.
2. Jason Castro
The guy can sing pretty well, but he's starting to irritate me slightly. : )
3. Syesha Mercado
Yes, she can sing, otherwise, she wouldn't have made it into the top four (4).
4. David Archuleta
He can sing, but net that well. The only reason he hasn't been voted off already is because he seems nice. The guy's only 16! He can sing, but he's way too young. In another five years, he might have a chance to win, but if he probably shouldn't win this year.
Well, that's all for now.
Toodle-oo,
Latte
P.S. The rankings weren't meant to hurt anyone's feelings.

=D Gotta love those smilies! =D
Cappuccino, those are good and all, but I also have a few fave songs/lyrics.
I think the lyrics to Taylor Swift's Tied Together With A Smile lyrics are really beautiful. I will only put the first verse and chorus on, though you should listen to the whole thing.
The only one who doesn't see your beauty
Is the face in the mirror
Looking back at you
You go around thinking you're not pretty
But that's not true
Hold on, baby you're losing it
The water's high
You're jumping into it
And letting go
And no one knows
That you cry
But you don't tell anyone
That you might
not be the gold one
And you're tied together with a smile
But you're coming undone
So yeah, I think that's beautiful, but Cappuccino might not feel the same way (cause her mama ain't learned her how to read). =D
