GWU Festival of Lights

Each year GWU holds the Festival of Lights, which is a concert celebrating Christmas on the GW campus. You can read more about it here. It is on Thursday December 3rd. I love this concert because like most other human beings I love the holidays. I love being with family, eating good food, opening presents, singing Chriatmas songs, the whole nine yards. This concert is kind of a kick-off for Christmas for those who attend. I am excited about the music we will be singing in the concert choir this year. We have some good stuff, so everyone should come out and join us.

American Idol... Competition past the Competition

The month of November proves a big month for the top 3 finalists on the last run of American Idol. All 3 of them have album's dropping this month. I'm not quite sure who I think will win the most records sold. Although Allison Iraheta is very good, I am sure she can't beat out Kris Allen or Adam Lambert.
I am looking forward to listening to all three and comparing. I was partial to Kris Allen while the show was airing but all three are amazing performers.

Taylor Swift..

So last night at the CMA Awards T-Swift won Female Vocalist of the year. (To see entire list of winners click here.)
I don't like this at all. She is a great entertainer and markets herself almost perfectly. When it comes to her vocalizing... she struggles a lot. Even in her performances on the CMA Awards she hit a few really sketchy notes. She also won entertainer of the year which I completely understand. She is a phenomenal entertainer.

Lambert... what are you thinking?

Really Adam Lambert, really?? This album cover is slightly ridiculous, at least I think so. I mean come on now. This looks kinda scary in my opinion. We know you are "Glambert" and all but this is just too far.

POMPLAMOOSE!! please watch.

Ok... so I was surfing YouTube as I do pretty much everyday for about an hour and I descovered these two people who go by the name of Pomplamoose. They are pretty much ingenious. There music and mixing is great and their videos are funny and VERY well made. Please give this a listen. It could very well make your day.

Garth Brooks... Again??

I am a Garth Brooks fan. I like most of his music and added his greatest hits album to my CD collection just last year. It came complete with a collection of his best music videos and I like it. There's no denying the fact that he was a country music superstar who sold millions of records. Word on the street is that he will be coming out of retirement... for the 2nd time. If you remember the last time he did this he reentered the music world as a creepy, rocker alter-ego named Chris Gaines. FAIL. Hopefully this "coming out of retirement" experience will do him more justice. Keep your fingers crossed for Garth. I feel like he may need it. See Brooks as his weird alter-ego below:

Club Mixes

So many pop songs today have club mixes. I like them sometimes and sometimes they are just really bad. This just happens to be one I really like:
the original:

the club mix:

In this case I like the club mix better than the original. But props to Black Eyed Peas for a great song!! I have a feeling this song might tear up the charts!!
