I don't know how to post myspace video directly on Blogger, so go to BLG's blog and check out their hot new video commemorating the start of the Tourzilla tour that I can't get tickets to.
Doesn't Paul look hot when he sticks his mouth right up to the camera and tells you get tickets? *sighs dreamily*
And listen to an exclusive acoustic version of "Hero/Heroine" courtesy of Entertainment Weekly here. (Personally, I think they sound kinda girly in this version. Martin's voice can go really high... Gosh, I hope Martin sings lead cuz I kinda forget who's who, and that would be a bit embarassing to get it wrong...)
And vote for them on the mtvU Woodie Awards! Yay! x3

Cop Rock
If you're not in my media class, you may not have heard of the Emmy award-winning "Cop Rock". But if you have heard o fit, you'd know it was the greatest police drama/musical of the '90's, possibly even the greatest of all time. Oh yes. And it's all over YouTube. So even if you've heard their catchy hit "Let's Be Careful Out There," you've never heard anything like "Baby Merchant" or "Don't Touch". So be sure to check out this amazing footage of a revolutionary show that just never really caught on outside Ms. Taylor's class...
And if you want to find out more about "Cop Rock," here is the link to its IMDb page. Did you know it won two Emmys and was nominated for three? Seriously.
Seriously, these videos will change you life. As scanale 425 on IMDb said, "it was too hip for TV then (and probably now, too -- TV is pretty square.)" So don't be square - watch "Cop Rock".
Life in the hood ain't no piece of pie
Anybody could die
When the bullets fly

Life in the hood ain't no piece of pie
Anybody could die
When the bullets fly
And in these streets, we [the gangstas] got the power.
(But the cops got a pretty rockin' theme song.)
So let's be careful out there
And don't touch
(Cuz every cop's ambition is to have a water fountain in the john.)
Or fall for her beautiful, beautiful eyes
(She played me sweeter than a saxophone - now that is some heartfelt balladry)
With the copper-toned skin
(This show deals with some heavy issues. Crime, racism, johns with water fountains...)
Cuz it's garbage in and garbage out
(The girl got a pretty hot mug shot, in my opinion...)
Okay, I'm sick of quoting the songs and tryign to tie this together. Just watch it.
And, um, the Baby Merchant will have your baby for you?
Oh, dude, here's the baby merchant in action!!!!!
This town has a definite crime problem...
And speaking of problems, these fans take lameness to a whole new level...
And they do it again... I'm not quite sure how this one relates to the show. But you can't deny, the guy singing lead knows how to jump around...
Oh wait, I don't think that last one was even about the show... Oh well, if you watched all those videos, you have too much time on your hands anyways...

Barbie Inspires the Best Music
So, looking up Skye music I don't own on YouTube, Barbie Diaries comes up of course. I decided to check out Barbie's other music in case any of it is also Skye singing, and I found this amazingly *hilarious* song, "Boys Will Be Boys"
Five minutes of extended mix misery, joy, or tears from laughing so much. I'ds say this rivals "Barbie Girl"...
Oh, and sorry the on-screen lyrics are WAYYY off. Not my fault...
So, after you've watched the video, read the Customer Reviews on Amazon. Apparently even boys like it. And Linda S. Trokey says that "Every woman should own this cd!!!" Guess there's something out there for everyone...

God Loves Me. He Gives Me Cheap Brie Larson CDs.
Maybe I see the randomest little things as acts of God, but I feel truly blessed.
So several months ago, I decided to listen to Brie Larson's CD on Rhapsody since she's often (incorrectly, in most people's opinions) listed as being similar to Skye Sweetnam. And I grew to love it for all its sugary pop fluffiness. I searched for her CD at Borders and Target for months before surrendering and turning to Amazon. That was this summer, a week before I went to California. I got her CD, The All-American Rejects' debut, and a Relient K CD off Amazon so I could listen to them in Cali. So, feeling like a CD-collecting failure (Amazon? It was too easy.), I decided to check for Brie's CD in the ginormous Virgin store in Hollywood, and staring out of the front of the rack laghing at me (well, staring down dejectedly really, but you know what I mean) was Brie's CD. $13.99. $6 more than I got it for, but still. It's from a store. Oh, how I suck. *slaps forehead* Quitter.
Then today, I was in FYE waiting for my parents to pick me and my friend up from the mall. I decided to go through my normal CD-search routine: Aly & AJ, Halo Friendlies, Lalaine, Brie Larson, Avril Lavigne... (Even though I own most of their CDs by now, it's too ingrained in my head for me to change it.) OMG!!!!!!!!!! They have Brie Larson too! For only $11! *repeatedly slaps forehead* quitter quitter quitter!!!!!! Uggh. Brie Larson hates me.
But wait! There are two more CDs under the Brie Larson tab! One's some random dude, who cares who, but the other *stares in awe* Brie's single, She Said... $3.99... Hmm... Not worth it, but should I let another Brie CD slip through my fing... AHHH!!! Ringing cell phone! Parents are here! Split decision time. Consult best friend. She says sure, go for it. Once in a lifetime chance. Race against the clock... BUY IT BUY IT BUY IT!!!
So I got the CD, pulled out $5 my dad gave me for food since I blew the meager remnants of this month's allowance on a Mickey Mouse pin at Hot Topic, and stood in line... My turn... The sales guy says it costs "one." Yes, one. Cent.
He suggests I search the floor for change if I want to save even more. So I put my $5 bill back in my wallet, and grab the first coin I find, which happens to be a penny... Get the CD... I am the luckiest person on the planet... o_0
Yup, I got Brie's single for a penny. This is even more of a gift from the gods than my Jonas Brothers' debut (last day of school, after months of searching, going for $30 on Amazon, $13.99 at my favorite Borders). So, yeah... Gah, I hate ending stories cuz they seem so short and anticlimactic... Anyways...
Here are some pics of the CD & the receipt. So you know I'm not lying or anything.
Oh, and when I put the CD in, the computer thought it was "The Corner" by Common. Strange.

A gigantic ton of JONAS BROTHERS NEWS!!!
So, big thanks to the Jonas Brothers for posting a MySpace bulletin with a link to this CosmoGirl blog all about them...
CosmoGirl Interview with the Jonas Brothers
So basically, Kevin likes girls who dress up and don't wear pajamas to school, and Joe thinks his singing on "Australia" is all that. And Nick would play "Hello Beautiful" to impress a girl, which shows that he is wise beyond his years and knows WAY more about girls than his older brothers do.
CG! talks to performers at Arthur Ashe Kids Day, including JB
(EDIT:This video kinda sucks. Read my commentary/highlights to see if you'll like it.)
And they got the awesome clip of Kevin spinning around while playing the guitar taht I failed to get at their concert. I love it when he does that... And wtf is up with stars tattooed/drawn on your arms and legs? One of Karmina has one on her arm, and some kids at school have been drawing those all over themselves. Wonder if there's a connection... Love Keke Palmer's shirt. Those shirts are adorable, though not quite worth 20 bucks... Haha, everyone wants to challenge Venus & Serena to a tennis match... Okay, scratch that, JB were hardly in it at all. What a rip-off.
Good news from the CG blog, in case you didn't read it the second you saw the link:
""S.O.S" was the number one song on iTunes, beating every single song from High School Musical 2! Uh-oh, do Zac and Corbin need to watch their backs?"
Yes, yes they do.
Um, I feel like I had more news... Let's see... "S.O.S" is on a bunch of Top 40 stations now, totally robbing "Hold On" of its opportunity to blow everyone away, in my opinion. I know SOS is catchier, but I think the lyrics suck. The chorus is just a mash of cliches Nick threw together in 15 minutes when he was pissed. It's a quite good mash of cliches, considering he did it in 15 minutes when he was pissed, but still, you can't deny what it is.
And besides, "That's Just the Way We Roll" and "Just Friends" are so all-pwning, they put the singles to shame.
Check the music player on JB's MySpace for their phone number. I haven't called yet, but, you know, I might...
According to Disney Adventures (new October issue), a *deluxe edition* of JB's CD, entitled Bonus Jonas (they really can't get enough of that phrase, can they?) is coming out October 23rd. Those Disney bitches. We are not buying a JB CD for our freakin' dog, though it was bcute of you guys to ask.
I sincerely hope and doubt that it will be a deluxe of their debut album, It's About Time, but it would be really nice if it was. I own that CD, but obviously somebody doesn't, since it's going for $75 used on Amazon.
So, big live JB chat's down. I was in there about 45 minutes before it went down. And killed my Firefox 3 times. Thank Blogger for automatically saving drafts. I love JB for trying to hold a chat with fans, but really, that failed. Maybe if they'd made it a forum-style thing instead of a live chat. Live chats *always* get crazy like that...
I would've asked them about songwriting tips cuz, you know, it's all I could think of. But I'd really like to know more about their deluxe edition (which I'm sure I'll find out soon) and what they were thinking when they wrote "Hollywood". Especially if they mean Hollywood Records when they say Hollywood in the song, which would mean it's bashing their old label. I used to think it was telling Disney not to push them around, but now I'm thinking it's about Columbia. I wouldn't think Disney would normally allow such a rebellious music-industry-sucks type of song, but I guess they allow more creative freedom than I give them credit for. (Even though they reportedly didn't let the song "Move On" be on the CD because parents thought it was too mean.)
Oh, and sounds like JB definitely has more than a cameo but not quite a starring role in Camp Rock, and J.O.N.A.S. has not been picked up yet, but really, would Disney do this much grooming for some kids that are only musicians?
And Entertainment Weekly finally reviewed JB's sophomore, but you'll have to pick up the magazine since it's not on EW's website.
So, I think that's about all the JB news the world can handle for one day. Only 15 minutes left of potential chat time... Somebody's fans are gonna be pissed... See ya! ;)

SEARCH FOR THE MOST ROCKIN' "HUMAN" FAN VIDEO!!!!!!
So, I noticed YouTube has gained a couple more fan-made videos for "Human" (by Skye Sweetnam, in case you've been living in a cave without access to my blog for the past few weeks), and figured I'd check em out. But you can't watch just one and not the rest; it wouldn't be fair. So, seeing as there are only 8 that come up when I search "skye sweetnam human", why not hold a contest to determine the best one?
If you wanna see the competition as I did, one video at a time, keep reading. For the highlights (you do get a bit sick of it...) skip to the bottom.
An impressive fan video.

Hope you liked the search!

An impressive fan video.
I know it's made from some template-y thing (One True Media, I'm guessing...) and she uses the super-cool transition involving what looks like patches on a jean jacket waaaay too much, and including some pics that aren't 3 years old would be nice, but really, all the other fan vids I've seen were pretty sorry-looking. At least miley3232 tried.
Speaking of fan vids that are more like slideshows...
At least this one mixed in a couple of pink-hair pics with the old ones. And DisneyMediaOnly (broke that rule, didn't we?) did include lyrics and where to download (curse you conscious! let me get it illegally!!!!)
And what is up with all the More from this User things showing Keke Palmer fan vids? Just wondering where the connection was...
So now poor ol' RVShow's radio rip looks pretty sorry... They did post it before anyone else...
^You know, in case you forgot what it looked like.
RoCkAnG3LHSM101 kept the same picture up the whole time. But I think this was more promotional getting-the-single-out-there than fan-vid-ly.
But I should just be grateful anyone with HSM in their user name has good enough taste to promote Skye *playfully sticks out tongue at those HSM freaks*
Here's a boring one by Nappilicious2.
Yup, just the NFTB cover the whole time. Thanks for trying...
And of course, Koiriiah's, the one endorsed by Skye Sweetnam Project, presumably because it has ALBUM VERSION written all over it. Not sure how they know, unless they got their hands on a copy...
Knocking points off for choosing a kinda creepy pic of Skye as the background image for the entire video.
And besides a couple live versions, I think that's all the "Human" fan vids on YouTube at this time.
So, my analysis... Hmm... None of the fan vids are really more than slide shows. miley3232 definitely had the fanciest. But DisneyMediaOnly had the most variety, and she included links & lyrics, extra thumbs up for that. RVShow had the most new pics, so I think hers would be best for promoting Skye's new image, if it weren't missing the first few seconds. And RoCkAnG3LHSM101 had a nice little review of who Skye was, good for newbies.
Prettiest to Look At: miley3232
Best Effort: RVShow
Overall Best "Human" Fan Video: *drumroll please*... DisneyMediaOnly!!!!!!!!
Yayyyyyy!!!!!! Hopefully someone will actually read this post and acknowledge the awesomeness (or lack thereof) of all these videos.
Oh! Wait! Scratch all that. This video, by xinsomniaticx, pwns them all. It's a Hannah Montana fan vid, so I excluded it from the contest at first, but, just giving it a quick little peek, it's actually REALLY well-done. The clips mostly relate to the lyrics, and, if I didn't unconcditionally dislike everything involving Miley Cyrus, I would absolutely love it.
It's really impressive. Beats all that other stuff. Check it out:
Props to xinsomniaticx for actually winning the contest. Your video really is rockin'.

A song I wrote about Paris Hilton to the tune of Cruella De Vil for governament class
For my government class, we had to write a "creative" version of the Declaration of Independence, following its structure and philosophical ideas (Locke, Rousseau, and Montesquieu!!!) but with some clever subject, like the kid last year the teacher won't shut up about who declared himself independent from wearing underwear, "the cotton tyrants of man". So, I did Paris Hilton's dogs declaring their independence from her to the tune of "Cruella De Vil". I figured I'd post it here, so someone who cares can read it. :)
(Oh, and sorry the verses aren't as... separate as they could be. I'm too lazy to adjust it for the Internet. But, I know it makes reading it more difficult.)
(Oh, and sorry the verses aren't as... separate as they could be. I'm too lazy to adjust it for the Internet. But, I know it makes reading it more difficult.)
Declaration of
To
(to the tune of “Cruella De Vil” from 101 Dalmatians)
Oh
Oh
It’s time for you to hear
Our Declaration
We want to just be dogs
And go have fun
Oh Paris, dear Paris Hilton
We know you have issues
But listen to ours
We believe in
Separation of Powers
We need two equal branches, not just one! (Montesquieu)
Oh
That civil liberty’s
A thing we don’t have (Rousseau)
How can we be free
Inside a Gucchi bag?
We ought to form a state or sovereign (Rousseau)
Oh
We feel that your society’s
Not civil
You’re just living in Nature’s perfect state (Locke)
We’ve come to realize
You’re not the owner we once liked
You’re an absolute monarch
Who dictates! (Locke)
We think that you need
Some balances and checks
To limit your power
Like Montesquieu said (Montesquieu)
This mansion could be so
Democratically run
Except for Paris, that
FOR thinking that we’d like
To go to the beach
Then sticking us in these
Doggie bikinis
FOR subjecting us to this
Humiliation
Oh
SHE has dragged us to all these stupid parties
And walked us with a handbag, not a leash
SHE has made us quarter
Nicole Richie’s Pomeranians on her orders
When she and Nicole were in times in peace!
SHE has made us wear little
Pink doggie sweaters
But we think that we are
Able to do better
We are declaring our independence!
Oh Paris, dear Paris Hilton
Understand that we don’t hate all you humans
The guy who brings us food is rather nice
We feel like four-legged brothers
To all you others
It’s just Paris who’s ruining our life
Oh
Oh
We’re independent
From you and everyone
So don’t try to stop us
From having canine fun
Oh Paris, dear Paris Hilton

That's Hot
If you are ever bored or need cheering up, google "Paris Hilton's dog". There is some pretty hilarious dirt on Tinkerbell & the gang.
Oh, and why not start your search with this USA Today (yeah, a real newspaper... weird...) article here?
Oh, and why not start your search with this USA Today (yeah, a real newspaper... weird...) article here?
This is Hendrix. Sad, isn't it?
(Pic from the USA Today article, I am not stealing! x3)
...AND you absolutely must read the free excerpt from The Tinkerbell Hilton Diaries on Amazon. Click here, then click on the picture of the book where it say Search Inside. It's really a pretty funny book. If it weren't $4 shipping on all the $3.50 copies, I'd buy it. I may buy it anyways. Or at least put it on my Christmas list. As D. Parker said in his/her (which is it, D?!?) review, it's the "perfect stocking stuffer for the criminally cynical"!
Oh, and while you're checking out Paris-themed books on Amazon, be sure to look at her diary! ...Well, actually, it's your diary for you to write in, but Paris provides some hilarious quotes ("People who don't like pink just aren't very colorful,") and questions for you to answer! And even if you're not interested in getting it, you have to read the rants in the Customer Reviews. I personally found the 14 year-old who's filled up 25 diaries in the past 5 years quite amusing. She really doesn't get the point.
Then read reviews from the kids who love it and are just like "Fuck off, I'm a princess like Paris! :P" I really like those kids :)
EDIT: 9/10/07 Just another fun (if gory) "story" about Tinkerbell. Gosh, who knew rich people's dogs were so entertaining?Saturday, September 8, 2007
More Skye Videos!
New Skye Sweetnam vids from the Dodger Release Party, yo!
I'd say more, but I have to finish my report on TiVo (yes, I was actually assigned a report on TiVo. For school... Media class rocks.)
My findings so far: If you have enough money, you can do anything with a TiVo. I believe they are developing ways to cook pizza and wash your underwear in it.

Don't Bother Reading This Cuz I Go on a Psychotic Rant
Surprise of the Century (or the Day): Lord of the Flies actually ends well. (Before those of you who knows what happens freak out,) I don't mean that it ends happily. Or that it leaves me with that golly-I-learned-a-swell-lesson-about-human-nature! feeling you're supposed to get. No, it left me thinking "Dang... William Golding can actually write a really good couple of pages."
For the record, I hate the book. It is just another lame school book that's written in the most BORING style imaginable (I take that back, it was an action movie compared to Thoreau) that tries and fails to teach us some lesson about life and humanity. But actually, it was more than that. That was Grapes of Wrath and Maggie. This was also gross, disturbing, and had some of the most obnoxious characters I've ever met. I really hated Ralph in the first few chapters. I mean, he takes off his pants and dives around on the beach pretending to be an airplane. Don't boys have any idea what they're going to get sand up?
(Okay, that was a bit uncalled-for. But it's just that kind of book.)
(Actually, I think their disregard for clothing and not-getting-sand-up-your-butt disturbed me more than the killing. I guess after you've rolled around naked on the beach for the heck of it, there's not much you can do to surprise me.)
But, the point, I think the book's crap. Good idea, but Flight 29 Down did it so much better and more kiddie-friendly. I say we declare LOTF obsolete and watch that for english class instead. Or Lost would work too, but there goes the fun-for-the-whole-family aspect.
BUT, the REAL point, there were a few pages I really liked. Maybe 5. No, probably 30 to 50 total, but 5 that were really "wow... I would read this even my GPA didn't depend on it..."
They were really good. When a certain someone is running for their life (won't spoil who it was), it just had... adrenaline. Like a Pendragon book (series by D.J. MacHale, read it, love it, e-mail me so we can obsess over how we're going to murder Bobby after what he did on Ibara). I guess I really respond well to people literally running for their lives. LOTF was half a million times more real and disturbing Pendragon, but either way, the dude's fighting to death (ish). So, yeah... Just wanted to point out that even back in... 1954... people could write good adrenaline-filled fight/flight scenes.
Which means, since the best part of Lord of the Flies is also the best part of Pendragon... And since they both contain messages & lessons about human nature and logic and Walmart taking over the world (good ol' Quillan)... but Lord of the Flies is old and sucky and Pendragon is shiny, new, and amazing... Are the curriculum-writers reading this?... (no)...
But, yeah... Long post not really about anything. Props to William Golding for almost touching on DJ MacHale's geniusness. And don't read Lord of the Flies, unless you enjoy immature boys murdering each other and 5 minutes of cool running-for-your-life-ness...
Oh, but if anyone ever gives the choice of LOTF vs. Thoreau or Crane or Steinbeck (except Of Mice and Men, which rocked), take LOTF. And hope you don't barf or anything.
...Wow, now I can't stop thinking about whether my journalism teacher would like my conclusion or not... Gar, I don't wanna think about that. She has bad taste. She likes bitchy people who give a "call to action" but just say FIX IT FREAKS!!!!!! and don't offer advice or anything. I should totally have told her I thought that "perfect editorial" had a really bitchy ending. I wonder if anyone who knows my journalism teacher will ever read this. And why aren't my parents home from Back to School Night yet? I'm not getting off the computer until they make me... Ms. C, you have crap taste and like bitchy calls to action! xP Like I bet you enjoyed the ending of Nickel and Dimed. That was the worst thing I've ever read. Not the whole book (it still pwned Thoreau). Just the last page. How should you feel, you wonder? Guilty, you ask? No.
SHAME!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! You should feel SHAME for fucking up the lives of these poor people with your fucking maids and fucking shopping trips even though I appeared to enjoy working at Walmart but you're still fucking up these peoples' lives, you fucker, so either denounce your life of middle classosity or FUCK OFF!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Except Barbara Ehrenreich omitted the curse words, like I should have. I just read them in between the lines... I think she is going to burn me at the stake because I am not a maid like she was for a few weeks. She really freaks me out. I think she's a bit unbalanced. Or else I'm the one with issues, since I'm the girl who cannot stop blogging and just wrote more f-words in that paragraph than she has in her life, and who thinks her hippie classmates will burn her at the stake for having set foot in Texas, and who thinks her parental parents will burn her at the stake for hating all after-school activities, and who thinks her fellow Aly & AJ fangirls will burn her at the stake for liking the Jonas Brothers more, and who thinks her too-cool-to-like-anything-from-after-the-'80's frenemies will burn her at the stake for liking Aly & AJ AND the Jonas Brothers, and who thinks her english and journalism teachers will burn her at the stake for posting this blog, and who may just set herself on fire, since deep down she knows that no one is actually going to read this blog, so what's the point of life anyways if no one reads your blogs?
But of course, if anyone does read this blog, I'll have to set myself on fire so no one will see my body and think "There's that girl who wrote that dumb rant about witch hunts and required reading... What a weirdo..."
So, hopefully you didn't just read this. Hopefully you read the thing about Kalan Porter instead.

Sugar-Pop-Fluffy-Cotton-Candy-liciousness
Kim Possible graduates high school tomorrow!!! In September... that's a bit freaky...
Just thought I should mention: I have totally run out of stuff to listen to, so I'm trying Ashlee Simpson, and "Invisible" is actually a good song. Plus it sounds real and plausible. I can picture people ignoring her when she was just Jessica's little sister, then acting like they've been BFF's since like forever now that she's famous. Wonder if she helped write it... And I Am Me seems like a definitely decent album, based on the 4 songs I've listened to. I would listen to more, but my parents are out, so this is my guilty-pleasure time. I will never let them know I want to listen to the HSM 2 soundtrack, but, you know, I'm kinda craving "Bet On It"... Angry Zac cracks me up. He should so go emo for the next one. That'd bring the teens to the theater...
Dude, it's For Sale Only?!? Disney sucks cheap-o butt... Ew, now I'll have to watch the videos on YouTube, and that means clicking on the next one after each one's over, which will totally distract me from my chem homework... Speaking of that chem homework...
"Gotta Go My Own Way" is sugar-pop-fluffy-cotton-candy-licious. Gosh, I wanna hear the full version. Oh, and "All For One" is some seriously catchy stuff. You must admit, Disney is good at they do... But "Fabulous" still sucks so hard it's funny... Well, even Disney's not perfect...
Okay, I suppose I shall content myself with seeing if Vanessa Hudgens' solo album is better than Ashley Tisdale's (not hard to do)
(BTW: I'm using Rhapsody for all this listening. In case you were confused.)
(P.S. Ashlee Simpson pwns Vanessa Hudgens. What a sad day for Baby V...)
(P.P.S. Yeah, Vanessa's as bad as Ashley. And I always thought she was the most promising HSM star...)
(P.P.P.S. Should I write "edit" instead of P.P.P.S.? I think that's the more bloggery thing to do.)
(P.P.whatever.S. Now I'm listening to Simple Plan and it sounds so good :)

I'm Bringing Scrabble Back: The Funniest Music Video Ever
This video actually made me laugh out loud. I mean, I always say "lol", but I rarely actually lol. But this time I did. This video rocks so hard. If this is the only video I post that you actually watch, that is okay. Just watch it.
In case you wondering, it's "Hurray" by Kalan Porter. Kalan won second place in Canadian Idol, but he's really popular in Canada, kind of like Clay Aiken is here in the States. (Hehe, I feel so knowledgeable about Canada! ^_^)
I don't really like his other songs (okay, all I've heard is "Down in Heaven" and his cover of "Surrender", and the only reason I liked "Down in Heaven" was because his line about being high.)
Okay, but he is really cute. Check out his endearing Awkward Video Blog. Lucky Canadians...
Not as funny as "Hurray (I'm Bringing Scrabble Back)" but it still made me laugh. Skye Sweetnam is quite lucky to be on tour with him. (You didn't think I'd found about him because I'm just such a big Canadian Idol fan, did you?)
And speaking of Canadian Idol, here's Kalan's audition. Check out Canadian Randy and Canadian Paula at the end. If I didn't have a life, I'd look for a video with Canadian Simon in it, but sadly, I do have a life (and precalc homework), so if you see a video of Canadian Simon, tell me.
Can you believe Candian Randy's name is Farley Flex? Who would name their child Farley Flex? Crazy Canadians...
Skye Sweetnam: Only Human?
Skye's new sinlge! Wow, why can't I spell?
The song's called "Human", in case you didn't know. I think it's pretty catchy, but a bit too pop/hip-hop. And what's up with the part about dancing in your birthday suit?
I like the "Monkey see, monkey do" line, and the rest of the lyrics seem pretty good.
Much more of a mainstream pop sound than I was hoping for. I'd like the other songs to be more rock-oriented, or funky like "Into Action". This isn't quite my style...
Oh, and question of the day: Does Skye say "raped" in the chorus?
EDIT: In case anyone was doubting whether I am totally in love with this song, I'm listening to it for the third time in a row, so yes, I do love it. I just have to be a disappointed little critic the first time I hear a song... Gosh, I love this song. It's a bit sad how I have to hear something 3-5 times in succession to love it...
EDIT #2: No, wait, we think it's "brain-washed", not "raped". Amazingly huge hug to Watchmeburn for figuring that one out! x3
EDIT #3: Crap, I forgot to credit whoever made the slideshow/video... RVShow, you are one the Coolest Person of the Day for putting (almost) the whole song on YouTube!!!
