It’s delightful, it’s delicious, it’s de lovely, it’s
Reinhart heaven! All Haliens in the metropolitan city of Jakarta, Indonesia were
celebrating last weekend, as it was jam-packed with everything Haley Reinhart. </div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
Not only the retrofabulous goddess had a special guest appearance
on our local <i>X Factor</i> last Friday (April 26), but she also treated us to a
double show, scrumptious dinner and an exclusive meet and greet session the
following day (April 27) at the Gandaria City Mall, all for FREE. The Saturday
event was sponsored by Indovision and Star World, the award-winning network where <i>American
Idol</i> is regularly broadcasted. I, for one, am so lucky to have been one of
those winners of the meet and greet contest, as it was limited to Indovision
subscribers only. </div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
Haley kicked off her afternoon concert at the Main Atrium
section of the mall’s ground floor. She treated us to five spectacular tunes,
including three from her Grammy-worthy <i>Listen Up</i> album:</div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
</div>
<ul>
<li>"Wasted Tears"</li>
<li>"Hit the Ground Runnin’"</li>
<li>"The Way You Make Me Feel" (Michael Jackson cover)</li>
<li>"Oh My!"</li>
<li>"Call Me" (Blondie cover) – featuring <i>Indonesian Idol 4</i> winner
Rini</li>
</ul>
<br />
<div class="MsoNormal">
Once the show was over, Haley was immediately escorted out
by her bodyguards as the Haliens shopped around before getting back together to
prep up for the evening meet and greet at around 6 PM at the Beerdy! Golf and
Bar. Though the session didn’t start ‘til 7.30 PM, the wait was so worth it, as Queen
Haley came back with another short set to entertain us. This time, she went
acoustic with just a guitar player. As soon as she was done with "Wasted Tears" and "Hit the Ground Runnin’", she finally wrapped the show up with a slowed down
version of "Free" by popular demand. </div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
There was a fun singing game where five chosen fans got to sing along with Miss Haley herself to Aerosmith's "I Don't Wanna Miss a Thing", followed by a brief group photo session for all the fans. The night closed with a buffet-style dinner consisting of favorites
like beef steak, mashed potatoes, tuna canapé and pudding. </div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
I did get to chat with Haley herself, though we all got timed so everything felt so rushed. I'm sure I'll see her again one fine day, though, maybe when I'm back in the States soon. We waited for our cars together so we got to bid each other farewell (score!). Reinhart dreamin’ all weekend long, baby! Shindig! :) </div>

Both fans and non-fans will agree there was grandeur in her performance at the 2013 Grammy Awards, where she delivered an <span style="font-size: large;">out-of-this-world</span> medley that features two of her hits from the <i>Blown Away</i> album - "Blown Away" and "Two Black Cadillacs". Very creative and innovative! Just like the category in which she won, Best Country Solo Performance, indeed! <br />
Even her <span style="font-size: large;">electric dress</span> helped establish her goddess-like persona.<br />
<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

<br />Her cinematic, full-on mysterious and noir-ish video for "Two Black Cadillacs" is now out, so if you haven't already, this is definitely a must-see, especially if you appreciate artistic MVs. <br />

All the Tributes really pulled through in giving it an even larger "global voice".<br />
<br />
Just recently, the first look images of its upcoming sequel <i>Catching Fire</i> have been released by <a href="http://www.ew.com/" target="_blank">Entertainment Weekly</a>. Fans of the new heartthrob Finnick Odair (who made his first appearance on Book 2 of the trilogy) can now see actor Sam Claflin in character as he and our tough heroine Katniss Everdeen share a seductive scene, as shown on this shot:<br />
<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="http://i431.photobucket.com/albums/qq40/jazzontherocks/article-2260057-16D9B697000005DC-239_634x396.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="248" src="http://i431.photobucket.com/albums/qq40/jazzontherocks/article-2260057-16D9B697000005DC-239_634x396.jpg" width="400" /></a></div>
<br />
<br />
Having followed his earlier acting works (including <i>Snow White and the Huntsman</i> and <i>Pirates of the Caribbean 4</i>), I definitely approve :) He's the type of actor who actually has that rare combination of magnetic charm and soul that largely defines Finnick.<br />

Tune in to the CW Network on January 14 as <i>The Carrie Diaries</i> make its debut.<br />
<br />
With a retrofabulous cast of characters led by the multitalented AnnaSophia Robb as teenage Carrie and a dose of 80's flair, the show is bound to be unforgettable as it details Carrie's pre-<i>Sex and the City </i>life and her search for her own unique writer's voice long before she hits it big time in NYC. <br />

The spirit of Christmas is officially back in town. It's also the perfect time for countless servings of jazz. One of the holiday tunes that will surely jazz up your winter is the latest rendition of "Baby, It's Cold Outside" by the hottest jazz duo around, Haley Reinhart and Casey Abrams.<br />
<div>
<br /></div>
<div>
With their Fred Astaire-Ginger Rogers charm and all-round merry personalities, this version sparkles like your finely decorated Christmas tree ;)</div>
<div>

<div>
Happy holidays to you all! I will be away on a 2-week trip to France, Monaco and Spain, and I plan on catching up with my good friend and subscriber Carmina (on_the_ground) along the way. Jazz on the Rocks will reopen mid-January. Cheers! xo</div>

That's the vibe you get the minute you witness Carrie Underwood's cinematic trailer for her January music video "Two Black Cadillacs".<br />
Are you ready for a dark ride? :)<br />
<br />

<div style="text-align: auto;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
Also, congrats to her on winning the most important role of her life - Maria von Trapp on the upcoming NBC live broadcast of the Rodgers and Hammerstein classic <i>The Sound of Music</i> (no, it's not a movie remake, as you know it)!</div>
<br />
For those who doubt her, no need to be. Carrie has been one of those music artists with a respectable acting resume, as demonstrated by her heartfelt, inspiring role on the critically acclaimed film <i>Soul Surfer</i>.<br />
<br />
Given her down-to-earth persona and ability to sail in-between genres, I trust that she will bring her natural charisma to the iconic character that was popularized by the notable Dame Julie Andrews.<br />
<br />
Proof:<br />

Here are some highlights from the top contenders! It will be disheartening that one or two of them may probably leave tonight due to the votes, though they're bound to have a bright career after the competition is over. Who will make it to the semi-finals? <br />

Still, the pressure is always on, as they must face another double elimination on tonight's results show. Who delivered the most impact? All in all, they have been very genuine. But here are the top contenders in my book. Their world-class performances have succeeded in capturing many audiences' hearts. <br />

Who better to represent it than Lana Del Rey? No matter what adjective pops in everyone's head when they listen to her voice, it's undeniable that her vocal style is timeless and rich in texture like a slice of red velvet cake on an end-of-summer afternoon.<br />
<br />
Congrats to Lana for her recent collaboration with popular fashion brand H&M! Watch her exquisite cover of "Blue Velvet", which is basically a homage to David Lynch's film works. <i>Blue Velvet, </i>anyone? :)<br />

<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size: large;"><i>"In 1864, he was New York's finest."</i></span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size: large;"><i><br /></i></span></div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
And so this tagline marks the essence of BBC America's crime drama <i>Copper. </i>Those who are longing for quality period shows with award-winning production just can't skip this compelling hit.</div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
Set in 1864 New York City, the gritty show follows Irish copper Kevin Corcoran (played by the charismatic Tom Weston-Jones of <i>MI-5</i>) as he chase dangerous criminals all over the rough neighborhood of Five Points with his sidekick detectives while attempting to solve the mystery behind his wife's disappearance and daughter's murder along the way. The plot explores various issues relevant to those times, such as crime, class and corruption, which constructs an image of the city's actual history in that specific era. </div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
These fine actors help build an unforgettable cast with their stunning performances:</div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
<ul>
<li>Franka Potente (<i>Run Lola Run</i>, <i>The Bourne </i>films)</li>
<li><i></i>Kyle Schmid <i>(Being Human, Smallville)</i></li>
<li><i></i>Tessa Thompson <i>(Veronica Mars, Hidden Palms)</i></li>
<li>Anastasia Griffith <i>(Once Upon a Time, Damages)</i><i></i></li>
<li>Ato Essandoh <i>(Damages, White Collar)</i></li>
<li>Dylan Taylor <i>(Covert Affairs, Rookie Blue)</i></li>
</ul>
<div>
Kudos to the young Kiara Glasco (<i>Haven</i>) for her amazingly fierce portrayal of Annie Reilly, a child prostitute with a mischievous personality who ends up sticking with Corcoran as he looks out for her like she's his own kid.</div>
<div>
<br /></div>
<div>
All in all, it's a show to savor along with your English Breakfast tea and butter biscuits :)</div>

After "Good Girl" and "Blown Away" have stormed their way into the music charts, it's only right that she lets her darker tune "Two Black Cadillacs" reign this Fall season.<br />
<div>
<br /></div>
<div>
I'm sure we all agree this song is too cool not to have its own music video :)</div>

<div>
<br /></div>
<div>
The live concert that ran less than an hour gave off an acoustic, intimate, exotic vibe with an incense candle on her table. It was jam-packed with familiar tunes from <i>Listen Up</i>, including "Hit the Ground Running", her potential new single "Oh My" (which she recorded with award-winning rapper B.o.B. in the studio version), the bluesy rock "Keep Coming Back" and the retro-pop "Wonderland". </div>
<div>
<br /></div>
<div>
To spice up the set list, she also added some covers, such as Blind Faith's "Can't Find My Way Home" and the timeless Etta James classic "At Last", which brought everyone on a trip to Old Hollywood. Simply charming :)<br />
<br />
One of my favorite parts was when she showed the fans her adorable-looking mug. The show felt very personalized thanks to Haley's entertaining talk in between songs.<br />
<div>
<br /></div>
<div>
With her diamond-studded sultry voice, there's no doubt Haley is an original. Let's say those who don't appreciate her should <span class="Apple-style-span" style="text-decoration: underline;">not</span> have the privilege to call themselves true music fans. She is America's answer to Adele and Duffy. A respectable singer-songwriter and divine inspiration.<br />
<br />

Sara Skinner is one of them! In fact, she's in a league of her own.<br />
<div>
<br /></div>
<div>
As a pop-rock artist, she's truly an original with the way she brings her own unique flavor to today's chart-topping hits. These are some of my favorite covers by her. If you haven't become a Skinner yet, you will be! Visit her <a href="http://www.saraskinner.com/" target="_blank">official site</a> for more info and follow her on <a href="http://www.twitter.com/saraskinner" target="_blank">Twitter</a>.

In fact, this should actually be <span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size: large;"><b>a must-see</b></span> for today's generation!<br />
<div>
<br /></div>
<div>
Not only the series supports the idea of a <span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size: large;"><b>modern revolution</b></span>, where ordinary people are capable of standing up against wrongful authorities. It also promotes <span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size: large;"><b>female empowerment</b></span>, which we can see in our proactive, daring heroine Katniss Everdeen - the "girl on fire". This is exactly the right era for strong female leads to grace the big screen, which shows women have what it takes to make an impact on the world. Behind all the Katniss-Peeta-Gale subplots, those are the main themes that make this series relevant in today's society. It's such a winner!<br />
<div>
<br /></div>
<div>
If you missed it in the cinema, the first movie is now available on DVD and Bluray. For old and new "tributes" (a.k.a. fans) alike, the best-selling books by Suzanne Collins will entertain you while you wait for the movie premiere of the much-anticipated sequel <i>Catching Fire</i> in 2013. </div>
<div>
<br /></div>
<div>
May the odds be ever in your favor...</div>

That's definitely Birdy. For a fifteen year-old, Birdy - a.k.a. Jasmine Van den Bogaerde - is remarkably gifted with a hauntingly ethereal voice that transcends boundaries. Even her style displays a level of maturity that not many other young talents possess. </span><br />
<div>
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Georgia, 'Times New Roman', serif;"><br /></span></div>
<div>
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Georgia, 'Times New Roman', serif;">Let her whisk you away to that whimsical, timeless imaginative realm with her self-titled debut album. It features her own distinctive renditions of indie covers like the much-hyped "Skinny Love" and "1901". "The District Sleeps Alone Tonight", "Terrible Love" and "Fire and Rain" also rank high on my list of favorites. If she is this promising at this point in her career, imagine what she will become a few years from now, especially once she starts releasing more originals.</span><br />
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Georgia, 'Times New Roman', serif;"><br /></span><br />
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Georgia, 'Times New Roman', serif;">Enjoy your quiet afternoon tea and be mesmerized by her music. </span><br />

The heat will double up as the show comes to an end with the finale episode airing next Tuesday. Will this mark its demise or will it shoot its way to Season 2?</span><br />
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Georgia, 'Times New Roman', serif;"><br />
</span><br />
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Georgia, 'Times New Roman', serif;">Regardless of the complex plot lines that demand viewers' non-stop attention to understand them, </span><i><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Georgia, 'Times New Roman', serif;">Ringer</span></i><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Georgia, 'Times New Roman', serif;"> is a high concept series that is deliciously crafted with lush settings and a Frenchy soundtrack. But despite the CW Network's attempt at promoting it as a means of giving adult shows a home amidst its fluffy teen shows, the ratings just aren't quite there for </span><i><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Georgia, 'Times New Roman', serif;">Ringer. </span></i><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Georgia, 'Times New Roman', serif;">But as a die-hard Ringlet, I'm still hoping it will make a return this coming Fall so we can see Queen Sarah Michelle Gellar and her male co-stars again. </span><br />

<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Georgia, 'Times New Roman', serif;">Here's the preview for next week's finale!</span><br />

With this sophisticated Corinne Bailey Rae tune, you can always have the best of both cities, so you can spare yourself from having to decide. Without a doubt, this is the ultimate soundtrack to a fine spring breakfast at a downtown cafe. Your favorite latte and fresh croissants couldn't have tasted any better! </span><br />

That's right, everybody. Haley Reinhart can do it all! Amidst her busy schedule, the new singer can still squeeze in time for her other interest - acting. Last Tuesday marked her first acting gig as she guest-starred on the CW show </span><i><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Georgia, 'Times New Roman', serif;">90210</span></i><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Georgia, 'Times New Roman', serif;">, which is a spin-off of the original back in the 90's. Even if she was playing herself, Haley brought a lot of dynamics to her scripted character and certainly made the most of her 1.5-minute scene. </span><div><div><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Georgia, 'Times New Roman', serif;"><br />
</span></div><div><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Georgia, 'Times New Roman', serif;">As she plans on continuing acting in addition to music, you can expect to see her in one of your favorite shows in the near future...and maybe even a movie! I can think of one show she should be in. </span><i><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Georgia, 'Times New Roman', serif;">Supernatural</span></i><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Georgia, 'Times New Roman', serif;">! In fact, I've long been wondering if she's a hard-core fan, as the girl is very classic rock, and it's a show with countless classic rock hits playing in every episode. </span></div><div><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Georgia, 'Times New Roman', serif;"><br />
</span></div><div><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Georgia, 'Times New Roman', serif;">Watch Haley's </span><i><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Georgia, 'Times New Roman', serif;">90210</span></i><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Georgia, 'Times New Roman', serif;"> clip right here, right now.</span></div><div><br />
