I think Blake would have preferred GAL's songs. That was grim.

Interesting tidbit in today's local rag: quote:Recovering nicely from missed gig Mike Reilly recalls an Ironman Arizona awards banquet three years ago at which he was about to introduce a 14-year-old girl to sing the national anthem. But he was informed she was a no-show. Reilly, a veteran announcer, quickly asked assistant announcer Tom Ziebart, who had singing talent, to fill in. After the anthem, a crying girl approached the stage with her mother. The youngster said that she was supposed to perform the anthem. Unfortunately, they hadn't identified themselves to race director Paul Huddle of Encinitas, so organizers didn't realize the singer was there. “As they walked away, I really felt bad for her,” recalls Reilly, who lives in Poway, “but there was nothing we could do.” He remembers her name, though: “That girl was Jordin Sparks, who just won 'America Idol.' ”

Is Constantine on the Bold & Beautiful? This character is talking about cutting a DEMO and it looks like Constantine of season IV or is it Ace Young of season V? LOL!

I should have known to have gone to youtube to find it...and she did a great job, despite doing unnecessary vocal gymnastics and a rather poor job of phrasing. Why don't they teach young singers that you should sing out the phrase, not take a deep breath in the middle of a line of a song? But she was in great voice and looked pretty in a pink baby-doll top and jeans.

I guess I am old school. I thought she did a nice job, but I like it better when they do the song the way it was meant to be sung, not their own "interpretation" of it. But they all do it these days and she did sound great.

"With the NBA Finals under way and the San Antonio Spurs out to a 1-0 lead, expect to see some top music stars performing the National Anthem during the series. LeAnn Rimes will sing before Game 2 on Sunday, June 10. Singer/songwriter Ben Harper will sing the anthem before Game 3 on June 12 and American Idol alum Taylor Hicks will perform at Game 4 on June 14." http://www.fmqb.com/Article.asp?id=420674

Hopefully the show will give him beautiful teeth to match his voice.

You know what it is - Simon had this preconceived notion that he was going to totally suck and instead the guy just blew EVERYONE away. I don't know how the culture is in Britain - but in America, I just don't see opera music stealing the show like that - it's part of the reason I quit singing it. I also know, the sort of reaction they were having is often a "you had to be there" thing, so it's obvious the guy took command of the stage. I just can't get over the teeth.

Thanks for posting that link, Legal. I'm in awe and typing with a lump in my throat. I hope that gentleman goes very far. He's got an amazing voice and seems to be a genuinely nice, nice person.

As a general observation (not meant to be derogatory to any country), Americans tend to be much more concerned about good teeth than people in many other countries. He is an incredibly singer!

Wow, I'm sitting here crying on my keyboard, how goofy is that? Who is that guy? Is that going on now? I wonder how much it would cost to call overseas? That guy blew me away and I don't even listen to opera. Why is that? Wow.
