Nick: “Yes, I bought the number three of the best gadget of 2012, Lenovo IdeaPad Yoga, and I bought one more for my brother in Bandung, I was really lucky that I got a discount.”

Alyson: “Remember, most stores in Indonesia, maybe like in other countries, currently holding a discount year-end sale. Maybe I’ll go for more Christmas shopping this weekend.”

Nick: “You’re really shop-a-holic, anyway, we still have to count down the top 100 songs. And guys, we’re gonna reveal five Best TV Shows of 2012, plus there’s special performance by country superstars Lady Antebellum and Hunter Hayes.”

Alyson: “We spoke our favorite TV shows of the year last week, and we’re gonna be revealing the official Best TV Shows of 2012! And we’re gonna count em’ down! Starting with number 5!”

Nick: “Number five goes to… Homeland, one of my favorite shows as I told you before. Man, I really like this show because it’s intense and thrilling, and in fact, the show won Golden Globe and Emmys, including Primetime Emmy Award for Outstanding Drama Series, Outstanding Lead Actor, and Outstanding Lead Actress.”

Alyson: “And Golden Globe Award for Best TV series, by the way, Homeland will return next year, you can’t wait to watch it?”

Nick: “I really can’t wait to watch the next season! Really!”

Alyson: “Okay, before we announce the top 4 of the Best TV shows, our Queen of Pop, Madonna, with her single, Give Me All Your Luvin’, featuring Nicki Minaj and M.I.A., is number 64.”

Performing their number one Country single, Just a Kiss, please welcome Grammy Winning Country Trio, Lady Antebellum!

Alyson: “What a lovely performance by Lady Antebellum, and they’re also one of the Best Country nominees alongside Hunter Hayes, who will be performing soon in the Live Lounge.”

Nick: “Let see if one of them can win the award, or maybe Taylor Swift, Miranda Lambert, or Carrie Underwood can win the award. Alright then, speaking about Country music, our number four of the Best TV Shows of 2012 is… Nashville!”

Alyson: “One of my favorite new shows, I’m glad Nashville made it to the top 4, especially I like Callie Khouri’s writing and Connie Britton and Hayden Panettiere’s acting.”

Nick: “But the most important one is music, the music of Nashville is really amazing, I really like Hayden Panettiere came back singing, especially country music.”

Alyson: “In fact, television critics love the show, they gave very positive reviews. Nashville is the best new show of the year in fact, you have to watch, really! C’mon, reveal the number three!”

Nick: “The number three goes to… The Voice, the number one singing competition of the year, the show has Adam Levine, Blake Shelton, Cee-Lo Green, and Christina Aguilera as mentors, well, I think the show is more fun when more round and twist added, steal and knockout round, wow, really amazing.”

Alyson: “Although The Voice made it into top 3, but American Idol is still better than The Voice.”

Nick: “Whatever, the top two will be revealed later, and here’s number 63, one of the best songs with most positive message of the year, it’s Kelly Clarkson – Dark Side.”

Performing his Country hit single, Wanted, please welcome, Grammy nominee Hunter Hayes!

Alyson: “And number two of the Best TV Shows of 2012 goes to… Pretty Little Liars!”

Nick: “Wow, Pretty Little Liars made it into the top 2?”

Alyson: “Yeah, that’s right, I really like the suspense, and the storyline of the show made me curious about A. First, Mona is the first A, second, Toby is one of the A-team members, he is part of A, but he’s not real A.”

Nick: “You often watch the show?”

Alyson: “I haven’t watched the third season yet, I read the so much spoilers on Wikipedia, and the third season of Pretty Little Liars will continue on Tuesday, January 8 on ABC Family in the U.S.”

Nick: “Alyson, if I were you, I would have never read the spoilers of any show.”

Alyson: “But it haven’t aired in Indonesia and Asia Pacific, silly. Oh, forget it, I need to go to the bathroom. *leaves the stage*”

Nick: “Okay, fine. Well, video number 62, another country superstar, Taylor Swift – Begin Again.”
