First things first. In this i cant be unbiased. I got a problem with one of the judges. Dayo Laidi!! I know he is supposed to have his own dance company and has been in the business of dance for 21 years blah blah blah. That doesn't mean he knows what he is saying. Imagine putting Pasuma over Omowunmi Akinnifesi. I was mad as a hatter so i did some tuning out. Anyways i didn't grab the whole show but i must have watched the best parts (see me consoling my self). This week was a big improvement in the whole competition so below are my comments. (They are ranked according to my favorites).
OMOWUNMI AKINNIFESI
The babe must have thought she was Beyonce. She could have been right. lol!! It was like being in a 'Niger' club and seeing those babes you dare not dance near in case they make you look bad. She could be a winner. Dayo better change his tune on this babe or he will have enemies.
Judges Score - 21
BRYAN OKWARA
My babe daddy!! (I wish). The boy looked good and sharp. Very impressive. I don't know if it is him or he just has a wonderful partner. Either way he executed a dance to dismissed (by Zoegirl) perfectly.
Judges Score - 23
SOUND SULTAN
I have been down playing this dude and that just ain't right. He has been consistently good so lets give him a thumbs up people. He did a good salsa number and me likes!!
Judges Score - 23
FUNLOLA AOFIYEBI
Her entrance with her leading in her partner on a chain like a dog was dramatic. The dance routine that followed was not as great. But good effort though. She ain't a dancer so we give an A for effort.
Judges Score - 19
OMOTOLA JALADE-EKIENDE
Did a dance to one of the lion king soundtracks. Too much acting and not enough dance content. But her costume (cat suit complete with whiskers) was wicked. Her website is off the hook. Click on her name to go there.
Judges Score - 20
PASUMA WONDER
I have nothing against this dude personally but i feel this week he failed. He danced to Ayefele. People that is his element but dude was moving like an AJEBUTTER. Damn what happen!!!! I was mad disappointed but the judges must have seen something i didn't cause he got top marks.
Judges Score - 23
I do apologise that the gist is not complete. Sorry but i missed Kunle Afolayan, Zizi Cardow, Nomoreless and Tara Durotoye. Voting has started though so someone will be going off soon.

JEALOUSY
I went to church today and the visiting preacher made me think about something i don't really dwell on. JEALOUSY. It was funny to see jealousy in the bible.
See there was this priest called Asaph who wrote the 73rd psalm and the guy had a problem with jealousy and he blogged about it (in the Bible of all places)!!
You could read the whole psalm here but these are just the verses that i focused on.
1-5 God is truly good to Israel, especially to everyone with a pure heart. But I almost stumbled and fell, because it made me jealous to see proud and evil people and to watch them prosper. They never have to suffer, they stay healthy, and they don't have troubles like everyone else.
13-14 What good did it do me to keep my thoughts pure and refuse to do wrong? I am sick all day, and I am punished each morning.
17 Then I went to your temple, and there I understood.
See this priest had a problem with seeing people who didn't believe in God at all prospering while he suffered. He felt cheated. Then he went to the temple and a wave of understanding hit him. It is not about how blessed we are on earth but what happens after we leave this place.
Not everyone believes in God or the hereafter but Nicole Nordemen (above) put it brilliantly in her song 'What if'?
She said
What if you're right?
And he was just another nice guy
What if you're right?
What if it's true?
They say the cross will only make a fool of you
And what if it's true?
What if he takes his place in history
With all the prophets and the kings
Who taught us love and came in peace
But then the story ends
What then?
But what if you're wrong?
What if there's more?
What if there's hope you never dreamed of hoping for?..........
Well basically she was trying to say some people don't believe in God and they may be right BUT what if they are wrong and they find out too late.
What if this 'rapture of the saints' is really true.
What if you have basically lived your life in a true way and kept yourself pure like Asaph and something small made you miss it. A little lie, a short session of masturbation, cheating, bullying,......................................the list doesn't end.
I think the best way to live is to do so like that minute will be your last. Live life to the full but be constantly aware of what goes on after life is over. Trivial stuff like jealousy wont be such a problem then.
Wow cant believe i finished that. How was that for my first ever blog sermon. lol!!

McDreamy
So any one who knows me by now will have come to the conclusion that i never really left my childhood behind. I think that is soooo cool.
I also discovered something frightening about my self. I have recently left my life behind and become a couch or bed potato. It's all about the tv and the laptop these days. So i decided to try knitting. Knitting you say? I know sounds absolutely crazy and boring but at least i can knit in front of the tv sitting on my bed.
You didn't expect me to cut off just like that!! An addict needs to be weaned off not cut off. Anyways i am sure you guys are wandering what this has to do with McDreamy. Well my main stud from Grey's Anatomy is in the latest flick i got my eyes on. It comes out on 21st of November and is called 'Enchanted'. I will definitely get the dvd and put it beside my Grey's anatomy box collection. lol!!

Comics rule for all time
I fondly remember every Friday with joy. My dad would pack my brother and I to 'Mate' supermarket (Adeniyi jones avenue) and give us both 5naira each for our comic of the week.
It was more fun than the regular barbie dolls that just sat there and did nothing.
We had it all!!!
Teen titans, superman, batman, wonder woman, x-men, spiderman, dungeons and dragons, etc.
These days we have moved from books to the big screen so the latest big thing now is superhero movies. The latest in this is Iron man and IT HAD BETTER REACH MY SIDE OF THE OCEAN FAST.

Celebrity Takes 2 week 2
So more today on Sod's Celebrity Takes 2.
After watching today i have listed my celebrities in order of their potential. A hotness scale if you will. Today, my comments are on the celebrities. I will come back to give my opinion on the judges and presenters. Believe me i got a lot to say.
You can watch this Sat 7-8pm and Monday 6-8pm (Repeat) at Ben tv online here.
OMOWUNMI AKINNIFESI
'Dance machine' and 'rubber' were absolutely cool!!!! Way off the chain. I think this babe is a winner for sure. Others may prove me wrong but damn!!!!!!!. All i can say is Damn. Speechless!!!!!
I don't know what to say except this babe is HOT HOT HOT!!!
OMOTOLA JALADE- EKIENDE
OMO SEXY lived up to her name. She did a hip hop number and that babe is sensual. I really didn't think she had it in her but hmmmmmmmmmm i wish i could pull it out of the bag like that. The girl moved like a 16 yr old. But why??? Why??? I am almost green with envy. As a betting woman? She is someone i would put my money on to see in the finals.
BRYAN OKWARA (MR. NIGERIA)
First off all the man is tall. He did a dance to 'The devil is bad' by the W's. For those of you who don't know, it's kinda like a jive. His partner lovette is really small so i am so pleased they found a way to make the dance work.
I am developing a kinda crush on this man. lol!!
SOUND SULTAN
He was first up. Did some African piece. It was a cool start to the show. Amazing. I was truly impressed and i want lillian's outfit. The ankara and style were stunning. I really wish i had that out fit to rock to some party. Lillian we are the same size. Send it to me PLEASE!! lol!!
ZIZI CARDOW
Zizi pulled a waltz. I don't have anything against a waltz per say. Maybe i have been watching too much 'So you think you can dance' but i was looking at stuff like keeping your cage up and all the technical stuvzzz. A few things to watch out for in their technique but then this is their first night out so we will just keep looking and see what she does in the livelier routines.
FUNLOLA AOFIYEBI
Funmi did a dance to Angelique Kidjo's Agolo. I think the dance was good. I would have loved to see some more fluidity to her motions. She was on point but i just expected a little something more and it hasn't come out yet.
PASUMA WONDER
This was just not fair. At least for a first dance put the man in his element or is this a competition tactic? He was made to dance 'Adonai' by 'Avalon'.
He was totally out of his element i must say. It was ok as ok goes. Not a big wow. But like i said it could be a tactic to make people under estimate him.
NOMORELOSS
Nomoreless cant complain that the dance was difficult. It was basic, easy, and pulled off correctly could have been a stunner. He did not pull it off. After a while all i could do was watch his partner. She showed me what the dance was supposed to be and i liked it. He needs to pay more attention to detail instead of going through the motions trying to get to the end. Maybe he was just plain nervous i really dont know.
KUNLE AFOLAYAN
He had to do a waltz. Why why why???? He was uncomfortable and it showed. The suit was too small. The shoulders kept bunching up when he was dancing. Designers help this guy out. Stop spoiling his fyness. He does seem to know and recognize that the heat is on so we all hope that by next week he will come out with ........'SOMETHING'

MIRROR MIRROR
I really have no business posting anything today. I got the flu. I cant go to work so i am at home with lemsip, stepsils and sleep. But then my baby cousin (If you can call a uni chick a baby. lol!!!) Oyinkan published a book of poems. They are absolutely great and i haven't been able to put the thing down. For now my favorite is mirror mirror. Tell me what you think.
MIRROR MIRROR
Mirror mirror on the wall,
Will you make me six feet tall?
If i look again will i see,
Someone that doesn't look like me?
Will i suddenly be much slimmer?
And will my smile begin to shine?
Will my tummy be a great deal firmer?
Will i look and begin to look fine?
If i cease to eat my fish and chips,
And throw away that luscious meat,
Will i prefer the size of my hips?
And will the boys chase me like i am a dog in heat.
If i twist my body to the side,
Which wobbly bits will it hide?
Or if i put on the right colour,
Will it make me look far smaller?
O mirror mirror you are so cruel,
Why must you make me look like a fool?
It is so hard to please you,
I have run out of ideas on what to do.
Mirror mirror don't you care?
I cannot be like the models out there.
So i am going to turn you to face the wall,
I don't need to look, not a bit, not at all.
