i think both "goodbye until tomorrow" and "i could never rescue you" from TL5Y are amazing -- i love that they show complete opposite ways of saying goodbye within just a minute or two of each other.

and "ti moune" from OOTI is heartwrenching! i was just in OOTI and i was asaka, so i had to say "and the god's began to cry..." and i was ALWAYS crying. our mama euralie and tonton's voices blended SO well and it was just gorgeous.

"maybe our mistakes are what make our fate. Without them, what would shape our lives? Perhaps if we never veered off course, we wouldn't fall in love, or have babies, or be who we are. After all, seasons change. So do cities. People come into your life and people go. But it's comforting to know the ones you love are always in your heart. And if you're very lucky, a plane ride away" -sex and the city

Hugh Jackman rocked "Once Before I Go". Not the best song, but an amazing performance.

"No two shows are alike in the making. Each show is a living piece of your life in a small unreal world with its own character and integrity; its own new set of memorable experiences and incredible happenings. You begin to love and adapt to its strangeness. Dreams harden into substance. Values come into focus. You wish it would never end. The dream world vanishes like mist before a rising sun; part of you vanishes with it. And back you land in the real world with a thud- fogged, uneasy, jittery, difficult to get along with. There is only one cure. A new show. A new, small unreal world; new visions, experiences, incredible happenings. Again you love it, adapt to it, wish it would never end. But end it does. Another part of you vanishes. That's show business."-Anonymous
