Music has been a huge part of my life since before I can even remember. I was singing for church with my family when I was little more than 2yrs old, and I really don’t even remember that. But I’m sure that I loved it, because I always have, and still do. I was raised [...]

My life has been topsy turvy for quite a while, and I’m starting to feel like I’m on an even keel again now. Or…getting there. I think I briefly mentioned the project from hell that lasted close to 2 years and was almost responsible for me quitting/getting fired. Thank God that’s complete. It was a [...]
the music of my life

Seems like music is everywhere, all the time in my life. I’ve been singing since I was 2, and there’s always a song in my head. This has become a wondrous gift in the last 6 months or so, when things at work were so incredibly bad…Songs of encouragement, and strength, and songs that mirrored [...]
all about the band

More and more, the AI band is the best part of the show. Certainly, they’ve shown their talent in weeks [and years] past, but tonight they were killing it. [So there were a lot more pieces this evening, but you know, still great.] But here’s my fave Natalie Cole:
[i can [...]

I’ve been trying to vote for the lovely Ju’not and his smooth rendition of Hey There, Delilah on tonight’s Idol [the final 12]. But because I have the Samsung Glyde, I’m handicapped by having to press what seems to be an excessive amount of buttons to redial his number [05 - hint hint]. Or – [...]
idol 1st 12 – eliminations

So, last night I forgot to talk about the crappy sound/mic issues that the contestants had to deal with. And Paula’s awful hair. But the mic issues are back this evening – with the group performance of I’m Yours. Not the best group song, actually, and Michael’s crowding Anoop out of the frame, which is [...]
new idol season: blech

Everyone had awful song choices. Everyone.
I didn’t even listen to the person who chose to sing Donnie Hathaway’s A Song For You – it’s been so overdone, I barely like to hear *Donnie’s* version anymore. Fast forwarded through most of all the other performances – from A Little Less Conversation to Saving All My Love [...]
oh these judges.

Jamar [best friend of Danny (whose wife died)] didn’t make it to the top 36 of American Idol. Danny made it. Jorge Nunez [with some real shaky vocals] made it. Tatiana – the most annoying contestant to ever be on the show – made it.
Nobody – nobody – wanted Tatiana to make it.
And Jamar – [...]
grammy’s: the ok music awards

Tonight is the night for the biggest music award…or at least, they’re trying to hold on to that reputation. Grammy’s still mean a lot, bu the AMAs, WMAs, MTV moonmen, and BET Awards are edging them out in relevance. By far, the best music awards show last year was the BET awards. And I can [...]
