Music

Brooke White’s back!

So, I was nicely surprised…the Mormon nanny came back strong tonight. I loved her version of “You’re So Vain”. I love that song and her version was definitely up to par. I especially loved the attitude she showed in singing it directly to Simon.

This picture was from last week, when her performance left me hoping for me. (They haven’t posted from this week yet) I have to say that I am way happy that she is keeping with the LDS modesty standard. I am sure the pressure is high to strip off those clothes. She looks and sounds so great, hopefully she won’t succumb to our sleazy society.

LG loves her because she isn’t one of THOSE contestants that has to put her fingers up to tell you which number to call in. (That is so annoying)

And, tonight, we find out that she plays the guitar, too…the girl is way too talented. She sings, plays guitar and piano, and she can do hair. I really do love her voice.

Even, if she is a molly Mormon.

C’mon, how interesting is to have gone to beauty school? Can’t she find something more interesting to talk about? I know she says that she has always been a “good girl” but do they all have to be so boring….maybe she should join the blogging world and get some ideas for future interesting interview topics.

Word Association

Kathy made me think of legos.

Legos of Thriller. (it’s legos 50th anniversary & this link shows Thriller redone w/ legos) Only something a man could enjoy.

And, thriller of some prison in The Phillipines. You have all probably seen this video, but I thought it was worth posting for those who may have not seen it yet. I was in awe the first time I saw it. If you haven’t heard about this prison who elected to have dancing as their main source of rehibilitation, you have to check this article out before you watch the following video.

And, yes, I do promise to get back to a story some day soon. I know I have been a little You Tube crazy lately. I haven’t had a lot of blogging time.

Was I Right?

I missed the Top 24 American Idol show because I was at the church singing in the choir Wednesday night. Yes, I am only good enough for the church choir…not that it mattered, I was way too old before the first season.

But, I am catching up on my American Idol obsession online today. My obsession is a good thing for one reason…I cannot tell you how many American Idol google searches have come to my blog!!! Google is a good thing!

Here is the nanny, Brooke White, that I made mention to in a previous American Idol post.

What do you think? Mormon or not? If you don’t think she is a Mormon just watch this linked interview and see if it changes your mind.

Happy watching…I will be keeping tabs on this girl.

I have only watched 7 of the contestants interviews, but my other favorite so far is the Harley riding nurse, Amanda Overmyer. I just love her humility, practicality, and self acceptance….it’s almost just like my hubby’s personality. She made mention to Ryan Seacrest always giving her a hard time because she is never excited. Sometimes I tell my hubby to act just a little more excited also, but if I am totally honest, LG’s mildness is just perfect for me. Crazy people like me need people like them to give us a calm among our own manmade storms.

P.S. Just did some searching….I was right. And, David Archuleta, who I also like a lot, is also a Mormon. (Hello, I should have known, he’s from SLC) With two chances in one season, maybe the Mormons will have a better showing than they did in the presidential election. What do you think?

My Song

I just read Cynthia’s blog which talked about picking “your song”. Her video of REM on Sesame Street inspired me. LG and I love the guest singers on Sesame Street. Sandra Bullock once did a mean “Ma-na-ma-na”…can’t find it on you tube.

I don’t know if I have ONE song, but this is a song that I LOVED as a child. It’s message rings true to my life…Sing a song, sing out LOUD, don’t worry if it’s not good enough for anyone else to hear….just sing!
