Eh? I just might have to watch that tonight! Although I haven't watched one episode of American Idol yet. I don't want to be sucked in! What time is it there Mairi?
Hmm...She was okay, but what the hell did Simon mean saying the song choice was strange and that it made her sound older than she was and a bit caberet!!! I think the girl having the nerve to do Billie Holiday sounded more caberet! The Gloria Estefan thing wasn't so great either. But the judges always think the opposite of me. This show actually isn't as bad as I thought it would be.
Uk, okay I was thinking about if anyone would have the nerve to do a Janis Joplin song on this and the next thing I know some country chick comes out and does a HORRIBLE version of Piece of My Heart!!! That's wierd. Melisa Etheridge is like the only one who can take on that song. At least the one judge guy said it's not EASY to take on a Joplin song. No kidding. Come to think of it, there hasn't been anyone as powerful a female singer as Joplin since Joplin herself! That's kinda sad. Sad that she lived only 27 years.
There are a lot of pretty obvious Beatles references in "That Thing You Do!", but only Beatles fans get the ones where they aren't actually mentioned by name.
You're so vain, you probably think this post is about you.

Oh My Love was in some crappy movie i saw on an airplane onetime. it made me give the movie a much higher opinion. I think it was called Heartbreak, heartbreakers or something
Yeah, they can play the real solo songs but not the real Beatles songs. That always bemused me for some reason.
I know it's wierd. Even when they play videos on VH1, they'll play a John, Paul, George, and Ringo solo video in order. Why the hell can't their videos be played!!?? Can you imangine if MTV were able to do a Beatles thing. It's be like that whole Monkies revival in the late 80's. Only bigger of course.
PS Yes, there actually was a huge Monkies revival thanks to MTV. Strange as it sounds.
Does anyone else watch Instant Star? Haha, probably not, it's this Canadian show about what would happen if an Avril Lavigne type won a singing contest. Anyways, the main character's name is Jude Harrison and her sister is Sadie. It's a total Beatles nod.
Harrison= George Harrison Jude= Hey Jude Sadie= Sexy Sadie
