HOT ON TV
Who does not enjoy watching Bates Motel on A&E?
Recognized
by the Enzer’s World (E.W.)
Board as the Outstanding TV Series
for the second E.W. Year (2013/14), Bates Motel premiered its third season
on the ninth of this month.
Are Enzer
and the E.W. Board impressed?
Well, it’s
too early to tell.
Let’s just discuss the first two seasons for now, shall we?
The Production: superb. The set is authentic and
sets the mood (this includes The Bates
Motel and The Bates’ residence),
the sound and lighting is on point and makes the viewer feel present, and the
picture quality is good. The show has a great production team. If nobody is
going to see or recognize that, WE WILL!
How good is the writing team? It is an amazing
writing team. The series always leaves the viewer’s hanging on a thread. We
never know what’s next! This is good because it simply parades a writers’ high
caliber. I, in particular, enjoyed the season one finale. It got me excited and
restless. Bates Motel (after the
season one finale) became some kind of air that I couldn’t survive without.
Good job guys!
Moving on, the stars of the series namely Freddie Highmore (Norman Bates) and Vera
Farmiga (Norma Bates) are doing a
stellar job. Before I talk about their high standard of acting, can I use this
opportunity to praise the casting directors that cast Freddie and Vera for the
lead roles in this series? Well done! Those two actors are so compatible. I don’t
think there are any other actors out there that are good enough, seriously.
Back to Freddie
and Vera: they are the best actors on TV!
Freddie is recognized by the E.W. Board as the Outstanding Actor in a Fictional TV Series for the second E.W. Year
(2013/14) and Vera is one of E.W.s’ Top Actresses.
Do they deserve
recognition? Well, of course! Freddie
is exceptional. He transforms into the character ‘Norman’ so well and with Vera
by his side, magnificence surfaces on our screens. I’m looking forward to the
third season of the series and many more (fingers crossed).
Cheers!

DAILY INSPIRATION
You create opportunity. You can turn crises into
creative opportunities and defeats into successes and frustration into
fulfilment. How is this possible? With your great invisible weapons: your good
feelings about yourself, your determination to live the best life you can, and
your feeling – that only you can give yourself – that you are worthwhile,
deserving person. You are your most important critic. There is no opinion as
vitally important to your wellbeing as the opinion you have of yourself. Are
you a nurturing coach or a critic? Do you reinforce your own success or negate
it?

AMERICAN IDOL ROUND-UP
Wednesday and Thursday night’s episodes: SIMPLY
THE BEST!
Everything looks good this season. The new stage is stunning and the personalities fit in well with this season's theme (if there is any). However, amidst the spectacular live shows, a flaw that I just can’t
ignore keeps bugging me. It’s the opening song! I just prefer the song or music
used last season.
I enjoyed most of the performances. The
contestants were ready and did their best – I could see the effort. Some
disappointed (i.e. Sarina Joi) and others
failed to woo America (I’m looking at you
Adam) but it's okay. I still believe that the next best-selling artist is
still staying in the IDOL House.
BEST PERFORMANCES: Quentin (Night One) and Nick
(Night Two)
ENZER’S TOP 10: Tyanna;
Clark; Joey; Quentin; Maddie; Adanna; Nick; Jax; Daniel
and Rayvon.
Qaasim is a great performer but his singing is not as
good as the other contestants'. He could score more points if he tried something
new or something outside his comfort zone. The other contestants have done that
already.
