Picture it. Wichita, 1995. A young girl comes back from her first time seeing Les Miz. She's enraptured, thrilled, exhilerated. She proceeds to put on bathrobes and baseball caps and smudge her cheeks with pencil lead. She uses her bunkbed as a barricade. She gets that death scene down "just so." She is Eponine.
Would you deprive that child of the chance to live out her greatest theatrical dream?
I ask you.
I will be honest... I actually really like the song.
It is just the ultimate in o"verdone".
Now if you send us a "youtube" of yourself now, reenacting that scene, you win. Hands down.
But, penguin . . . I thought you liked it when I begged.
You have me confused with Tiff again Spidey. Or you have yourself confused with someone else who is a little more feminine.
Gimme a video camera and teach me how to upload files from it onto YouTube.
I have the Eponine coat in the attic and the hat in my closet
Come to think of it, I think there's a copy of me singing it 3 years ago in a review floating around my house. My mission shall be tracking that down.
Spidey-how about doing "Someone saved my life tonight"? that's my favorite Elton song.
I was gonna say when did Pengers switch teams..
Anyone who dares to sing Elton John better BRING IT. That's my favorite artist and I will judge accordingly.
I was gonna say when did I switch teams too.
Heading out for lunch soon so I'll answer in more detail later.
But as for what artists will piss me off -
Brits: ALW (Yes, Diva did him justice, but Britain is about SO MUCH MORE THAN HIM!) and B&S (Kitz, I like "On My Own" a lot, but I'm just saying that if you do anything less than stellar, I'll grade you really low - this is like the "My Heart Will Go On" of Broadway songs, so if you're subjecting us to it, you've GOT to do it better than well!)
Canadians - Shania. Avril. Celine.
As for the Canadian artist you should consider, Spider, there's a great Canadian rock band called "Our Lady Peace". Their old stuff is great. I'll send you some songs, but first I'll see if there's even any accomp for them! Also consider Bryan Adams (something aside from "Everything I Do").
Wow, there's actually a lot more to choose from but I'm overwhelmed with all the possibilities!
OH! I would LOVE someone to do something from Michael Buble. LOVE LOVE LOVE. (You'll recall that 86 and I became an "item" because he did a fantastic rendition of Buble's "Home" in the first round.)
Because everyone knows that Clay is hoplessly devoted to KITZY. Duh.
Well, and Sara too. I guess.
Oh - "Goodbye Yellow Brick Road"?
Spidey, 'Somewhere Out There' by Our Lady Peace is one of my FAVORITE songs.
Just sayin'..
I love my ladies. I am not going to deny it.
I do love "Uninvited" by Alanis....
And if someone doesn't do Spice Girls, I'm probably going to cry.
Kerrie knows OLP?
That gives you +3 in points today from me.
OH! For the ladies, Chantal Kreviasuk (sp? - the wife of the lead singer from OLP - she did "Leaving On A Jet Plane" for the Armageddon soundtrack but she does her own stuff too) is a great option.
I was going to suggest Goodbye Yellow Brick Road, but I have a feeling it's harder to sing than Someone Saved...I'm probably wrong.
I was thinking Uninvited too. Get out of my head. lol
You get out of my head!
It's kind of futile for me to be thinking about this anyway. The chances of Kerrie going on are higher than the chances of me going on.
I just know that song.. it's amazing.
AND OH MY GOD CHANTEL KREVIAZUK!!!!!!! Say Goodnight, Not Goodbye is amazing.. and her 2 songs from the Sisterhood of the Traveling Pants soundtrack.. *drool*
Actually, you're probably right, Jane. I was just thinking "GBYBR" because I just happened to see a clip of Elton and Billy Joel doing a duet of it at one of Elton's concerts.
Pengers, hopelessly devoted?? yeah lets ask His keepers about that one shall we?
I'm wondering now..
Kitz.. I think last week proved that that's not true.
Which is why you'll go through at number 1 this week. Everyone freaked out about the possiblity of you "going home" and they will guarantee that it doesn't happen again.
Just sayin'.
I really like "GBYBR" I think it is harder, which means it should be done. Quality.
It is that notion of who "might not go on" that is a bit of a negative of suggesting songs at this point. Honestly any of the 5 of you could go home. Which is sad, but as we saw last week NO ONE is safe, no matter how well they have done in the past.
