here's the deal. i'm not gonna cut this post because it's just my opinion on the singers/songs, but when the results stuff starts happening i will totally cut.

now. tonight was kinda meh for me. i think the girls have a hell of a lot more talent per capita than the boys. there are four stand-out boys for me.

Chris Daughtry rocked the fucking house with Wanted Dead or Alive. hothothot. seriously. Elliott Yamin? damn. i was not expecting that. a Stevie Wonder song and you nailed it, buddy. your's was the best performance of the night. Taylor, i like you. i like you a lot. i think you are an acquired taste though. you'll probably get fairly far, but i don't see you as AI material. go out and get your own recording deal, sweetie. Ace. oh Ace. you are so very pretty. you also have a nice voice, but i don't expect you to make it all the way. singing Father Figure? excellent song choice. very much fits with your style of singing.

David Radford, please get off my television screen. your crooning makes me want to jam my fingers into my ears until all i hear are my muffled whimpers.

Bucky Covington, you're awful. i'm fairly certain you were channeling Kurt Cobain in your performance tonight. please leave my tv screen.

Bobby Bennet, no. just...no. no one can sing Copacabana and be taken seriously as a competitor. i mean, really.

Sway, falsetto can be nice, but an entire song of it? for the love of god, NO!!! please be better next week. also? you were not one of the "hot ones" tonight. do not listen to Randy.

Gedeon, there's just something about you i don't like. loved your song choice though.

Kevin Covais, you're adorable, but you're not AI material.

Patrick Hall, awful song choice and i've pretty much forgotten you. bad move, my friend. bad move.

Will Makar, you're fucking adorable and i'm stealing you from puppetoflove. however, tonight's song choice did not show me the set of pipes that i know is lurking underneath there. please choose wisely next week.

to sum up, i think (hope!) David and Bobby will be gone out of this group. they just don't have it. i'm totally taking Chris, Will and Ace home with me.

everyone should go here and listen to the song Wow, I Can Be Sexual Too. also, if you know how to get the file so i can dl it to my ipod, i'd love you forever.

i love finding new music.

denisef left a YSI link in the comments for the song for those interested.

they're calling for snow here tomorrow, which means it's unlikely that i'll be going to the CoRo show. yes, i'm a wuss who won't drive in snow unless i absolutely have to.

i got an email from ticketmaster this morning with all the upcoming concerts. i set that up because i don't listen to the radio anymore and didn't want to miss any good bands that were going to be here. guess who's coming... the format! they're one of the many bands i've fallen in love with thanks to VM. i must go!! who's gonna go with me?

now panic! at the disco just needs to come to town.

i'm tagging catmint68, foxant10, faithx5, sexycereal, jaanquidam, spectralbovine, schnappycat and anyone else who'd like to do it. i'm always interested to see what people are listening to. oh and if you want any of these songs, let me know. i'd be happy to upload.

i would do that music meme that's making the rounds, but let's face it. 1979 was full of disco music. if it wasn't disco it was some form of country music. i don't do disco or country. so there would be, like, five songs(TOPS!) that i'd like.

now if i had been born in 1984? almost the whole damn list would be bolded.

ION, feeling much less bitchy this morning. i'm starving though. someone wanna come cook me some breakfast?

remember that thing where i was going to upload a song that reminded me of someone? yeah. time for that again. all of this extensive coverage about Peter Jennings with footage from September 11^th makes me think of this song and subsequently foxant10. why? because that's when we really became close. this will be rehash for those of you that have been here for the full extent. before then we would casually talk to each other at the bronze/beta/camp. i remember posting about how upset i was and he took the time to private message me and ask how i was later that day (i wish i had thought to save all of those PMs we shared, ant.). that blew me away because he was someone that was way more affected by this than i was. having been at the WTC that day.

the friendship blossomed into a full blown relationship and soon he was planning a trip to come and see me. now, as most of you know, the relationship didn't last. however, he is definitely someone that i consider a best friend. he made/continues to make an enormous impact on my life and i'm truly glad that we've been able to work through our issues and be friends again. i don't like losing friends. especially friends i've shared so much with.

with all of that said, i give you this song. Live - Overcome. this song will forever be linked to September 11^th for me and subsequently anthony because of all of what transpired surrounding the months after that day. it's amazing to me that beautiful things can come out of something so terrible.
