Emily Versus Emilee!

 It had to happen!!! 

EMILY "METRIC" HAINES 

EMILEE "waants" SORREY 

They were on a collision course... 

as far as the taste-testing blog was concerned! 

and now... 

the challenger ~ 

SORREY (?) 

Yeah...

She will be! LOL 

Hmm... 

Might wanna throw in that annoying EMILY 

from BELL... to make things more interesting? 

oops - there is an EMILY BELL on film, actually...

NOT THE EMILY WE MEANT... 

Emily The Strange? 

...STILL waaaaay cooler than Dr. Strange! 

Anybody else? 

Enough Emilies! 

M vs M

 

Now, now, now... 

Some "versus" posts 

I will simply never do! 

NEVER! 

Because it is simply not necessary 

to know the answer to it; 

certainly not worth knowing how 

the *popular vote* would turn out... 

because we simply do not need 

to go there!!! 

EVER!!! 

Contests such as... 

 vs   Saosin 

OR 

Caruso  vs 

WE DO NOT NEED TO KNOW 

WHO'D WIN THERE... 

(who I know would win - 

not who you'd think would!)

 because... THIS BLOG... 

THIS "Taste-Testing Blog" here... it is all about 

MY TASTE - not yours! NEVER yours! 

It is not called "VOX POPULIS BLOG" 

IT IS THE TASTE-TESTING BLOG ~ 

Luminous (\ö/) Luciano's taste-testing blog! 

It is aaaaaall about my taste - AND MINE ALONE! 

So... having re-established that, now... 

no ~ we do not need to know who would win 

between Sâozinha and Saosin 

or Enrico Caruso and Luciano Pavarotti! 

(BECAUSE I SAY SO!!!) 

 But this one... the MONSTER BASH... 

 oh, we sure as heck can do this one! 

  AND HERE WE GO: 

MONSTER - the one brought forth by 

Mormons that Imagine Dragons...

Or... THE MONSTER - sung about by the ever-annoying 

Eminem - with assistance from Rihanna and... the Monster itself. 

...actually...

It's A Beautiful Day!

 ... er, is it? 

meh.

April Fools

 Let's have fun here - and not limit ourselves to just two songs 

or even two languages! 

MORREU ou NÂO MORREU...?

Nem queremos saber...

(É melhor nâo saber, as vezes...)

...uggghhhhh... 

Que c'est donc de mauvais goût! 

Now how is THAT 

- for an extended taste-test 

under quarantine! 

Forever Nights

... what else can we think of, 

on these days of self-isolation 

peppered with long hot nights? 

What else other than all these songs 

- all these unforgettable melodies - 

about love, lust and THE NIGHT...? 

... video not available in its own country of origin? 

CANADA - where that music was MADE? 

HAHAHAHA. Good one, YouTube. HERE:

Damn you... Warner!!! 

No one is making any money off that music! 

THIS is just to sample it - and compare!!! 

You're just as bad as the Greedy Rat 

who thinks he's got super-powers, 

mastered The Force 

and owns the whole blamed world --- now! 

JUST. AS. BAD! 

AND IT MAKES ME MAD!!!

#ButThat'sAnotherStory 

... for another blog! 

* UPDATE *

I think we have got our true winner now: 

Top Ten Videos

As originally seen on The Saudades Blog (... tantas saudades!) not so long ago... no... just some ten (10) years ago! The trigger: a top ten of the best videos of all-time, seen on msn.com at the time, and that evoked so many nice memories from my adolescence (and insouciance...! Those were such good times, back then. And, already, I was luminous; right, virtually all of the time! Épa - aquile era mesmo OTIMO!) that I just had to edit that list by issuing my own version of it - illico! (No pun intended!?)
The msn top ten can still be found here - I do believe? (Didn't click to verify if it is still there, though!)

Those msn picks coincided mostly with those years 

that are covered on the ol' Saudades Blog; 1980 to 2005, 

roughly speaking... Or so did I extend it to! 

MSN had many of the memorable ones on its list - 

me, I have my own memories... 

Luminous memories ~ and choices to match! 

Mine starts right HERE:

- Number 10 -

tie

- Number 9 - 

- Number 8 - 

- Number 7 -
tie ~ of sorts 

- Number 6 - 

- Number 5 - 

- Number 4 - 

- Number 3 - 

- Number 2 - 

tie

- NUMBER 1 - 

HONORARY MENTIONS: 

Best of Beck...?

You choose:

Battle of the Mandys

YEAH...
it is really hard to tell, right now, 
which one of these broads 
is really/truly 
MORE ANNOYING...

...sure she is... 

 

Is it the WWE Mandy? 
Mandy Rose ~ whose heart 
(heart-of-a-floozie) 
appears to be torn three ways - 
not just two!!  
(Threeways appeared to be fit for her, too 
when the WWE writers sat down to  
ponder the question and all... I am sure! 
They thought of Three's Company...
sssssssssssure!)  

Is it... MANDY - THE MOVIE! 

Caught as the poor gal is 

-somewhere halfway between 

Left Behind and Ghost Rider 

with just a little hint of 

Drive Angry thrown in there, 

for extreme good measure...!- 

in the dire wastelands of 

Nicholas Cage's 

cinematic career... 

What else can be expected, 

really...?

OR COULD IT REALLY BE...

MANDY MOORE

Here she is... THE ORIGINAL MANDY 

OF THE MODERN AGE... with her Candy...!!!  

Sooooooooooo annoying!!! 

And we'll just throw in 
an additional MANDIE 
into this mix/mess... 



... just for the heck of it!
