Lady Antebellum – Need You Now Lyrics

Need You Now Lyrics

Picture perfect memories scattered all around the floor
Reachin for the phone cause I can’t fight it anymore
And I wonder if I ever crossed your mind
For me it happens all the time

It’s a quarter after one, I’m all alone and I need you now
Said I wouldn’t call but I lost all control and I need you now
And I don’t know how I can do without
I just need you now

Another shot of whiskey can’t stop looking at the door
Wishing you’d come sweeping in the way you did before
And I wonder if I ever cross your mind
For me it happens all the time

It’s a quarter after one, I’m a little drunk and I need you now
Said I wouldn’t call but I lost all control and I need you now
And I don’t know how I can do without
I just need you now

Guess I’d rather hurt than feel nothin at all
It’s a quarter after one I’m all alone and I need you now
And I said I wouldn’t call but I’m a little drunk and I need you now
And I don’t know how I can do without
I just need you now
I just need you now

Ooo, baby, I need you now

–My thoughts–

I just love this song, I just recently heard about Lady Antebellum when watching the Grammys and I have to say that I have truly fallen in love with their music. This song I’m sure many people relate to, personally I have never called anyone while I was drunk, I always made sure someone had my phone if that was the case, but I know many friends who have “drunk dialed”. One of my favorite lyrics in this song is “Picture perfect memories scattered all around the floor
Reachin for the phone cause I can’t fight it anymore
And I wonder if I ever crossed your mind
For me it happens all the time” Picture perfect memories scattered all around the floor, this is so typical for most girls to have pictures lying around of what used to be with an ex boyfriend or girlfriend, and wondering if you are crossing their minds like they are in yours it’s part of what most people go through when breaking up with someone. My opinion, don’t ever drunk dial, not all stories will be like this song, the guy/girl won’t always be thinking of you in the same way.
Personally throw away any memories that you have lying around your room, it’s so much easier to move on that way.

I still love this song though and if you haven’t heard songs from Lady Antebellum, I recommend that you do.

Stars gather to cover `We Are the World’ for Haiti

The story:

I think it is absolutely incredible all these wonderful stars coming together to re do the song “We Are the World”. I was watching the original on youtube.com , and these new and older artist really have to bring it to the table. 80 Artist have come together in the same studio where the original was shot in Hollywood, 25 years ago. They say “We Are the World — 25 for Haiti” will premiere this month during coverage of the opening ceremony of the Winter Olympics on NBC, according to a release from promoter AEG Live. To read more on this story click Here

My thoughts:

Wow, I just find this so incredible, New Artist paired up with some of the legends of music, to come together to sing a song that Michael Jackson did 25 years ago, it is sad he can’t be here with us to sing it, I hope they put footage of Michael in the video as well, it wouldn’t be the same without Micheal’s vocals and presence (even if it is only in a video). I love this song, I always have, it reminds me of my 5th grade graduation, we sang this song on stage that night. Although I was only 3 years old when they made this song for USA for Africa and I didn’t know what it was made for or why, the words alone just melt your heart. It’s an incredible song, and I can’t wait to see the New Re-make of it.

For more winners and to see who lost against who go to www.grammy.com

My thoughts:

I agree with most of the choices of who won and who deserved to win, however there is one that truly bothers me. Don’t get me wrong I like Taylor Swift but Album of the Year, really??? Over the Black Eyed Peas, Beyonce, and Lady Gaga, I just don’t see it. I also don’t see how she won Best Country Vocal Performance against Carrie Underwood & the others who were nominated for that category. I mean really, have you compared the two??? I just don’t see it, I wonder who votes for the Grammy winners. Other then that, I was really happy with who won, Jason Mraz, just LOVE HIM, Won 2 Grammy’s. Beyonce made history with the most Female Artist who won in one night, and Everyone who won were great performers. The night was great, One of the best I’ve seen in a long time! It’s going to be a great 2010!

Simon Cowell’s last season on American Idol…What now?

Oh Simon….

First Paula now Simon? It’s confirmed all over the news and radio that Simon Cowell’s last season on American Idol will be this season. People are worried that American Idol won’t exist after he’s gone, and some hope that it will continue on. This is American Idols 9th season, can you believe it? Simon has been working on a show in Britain called the X-Factor, it’s become one of the most popular shows there, and he is wanting to bring it to the US. Here he will be a judge and produce the show as well. He wants a challenge and this is it.

Will American Idol survive?

I don’t know that American Idol will survive much longer. They have had a few successes from their contestants but most of them haven’t even been the winners of American Idol. I believe there is only 2 of them who have won and have become huge stars, Kelly Clarkson & Carry Underwoood, my favorites of them all. They are true talent and unfortunately a lot of times these reality shows are based on popularity. As you can see, where are half of the other so called American Idols? I stopped watching American Idol a long time ago, when you can see that the people winning didn’t really have the talent to be an American Idol yet were still winning the crown. I didn’t see the full show when Carry Underwood was on, but caught a few episodes and fell in love with her instantly. Great singers will prove themselves & I think Kelly & Carrie have done just that. Daughtry wasn’t even a winner yet has had a wonderful career, I also like his band, great music and great talent. However, now with Simon leaving next season I think the show will drop, he’s the biggest one on the show, and I hate to say it because the guy is a complete a** but he’s what people tune in to see. Paula Abdul left and even though many fans were upset it really wasn’t or isn’t a huge make or break deal. A lot of people don’t think Ellen DeGeneres can bring what the show needs, but I personally just LOVE HER! She’s great, funny and I think she’ll be a little more honest then Paula was, you can’t just always double coat everything with niceness. I don’t know that I’ll watch American Idol this season, but I might take a few peaks just to see how Ellen is doing.

I guess we’ll all just have to wait until this season is over to see where American Idol will lead us.

Adam Lambert making up with ABC

ADAM

Adam & ABC

So for all those Adam Lambert Fans, this is it….Adam is getting a chance to perform on the ABC show the View. He will talk about how crazy this last year has been and what he’s learned. ABC is still being cautious, they will not film The View live, just to take precaution and not have any surprises.

Lets see….

Hopefully it will be a great show and he will prove to them he can tone it down a bit. So if you have tivo go to ABC on Thursday to watch Adam on the View. If you’re like me, we can only hope to catch it on the net.

Still talking about Adam Lambert

Still talking

Okay so Adams show on the American Music Awards was a little raunchy, who cares. ABC says people still haven’t forgotten so he was asked NOT to do the Jimmy Kimmel show and the New Years Eve show in New York.

Get over it people

This is Adam, take him or leave him. Unfortunately I think it’s ridiculous to not allow him to do these shows, why not just ask him to take it down a notch. I understand that if you have children what he may be displaying on television isn’t appropriate, and ABC is a family network, however I don’t see a problem with just asking him to tune it down a bit. I don’t even think it was all that bad, but that’s just my opinion.

Don’t stop

Keep doing what you’re doing Adam, don’t stop who you are. But in a world of critics you may have to tune it down a bit for the reserved people in the world. Good luck and hope to see you on tv soon.

American Music Awards Edits Live Footage

American Music Awards…

So the controversy on the radio today was how ABC – The American Music Awards edited footage from the live version us East side folks got to see. The West side only got to see the edited version.

Adam Lambert’s show was a little more then what they expected, I assume. He did mention prior to his show that some people may have a problem with his show, and that he’s sorry but then maybe he just isn’t for them. He said he would feel discriminated against if they did edit his show because women have been doing exactly what he’s going to do on TV for years, and just because he’s a male doesn’t mean they should edit his show. Well Adam, was grinding with some men, and kissing some girls, who cares! ABC Cared! They edited his footage and the west coast only got to see the clean version of his show.

My thoughts:

GO ADAM! I thought his show was unique, and funky and crazy all at the same time. And yes it was a bit much for some viewers, but like Adam bluntly said, if you don’t like it then he isn’t the artist for you. Personally I agree with Adam, it is discriminatory to say he can’t grind up against men and women but women can do it to both sexes. I say go for it Adam, be who you are and don’t hide it.

Jennifer Lopez

Jennifer Lopez fell, lets get over it. It’s all over youtube as if it’s this huge thing. She climbed up like 5 guys jumped off and slipped, it happens to the best of us. Well ABC also edited that out of the footage. That’s just ridiculous, but I guess if I was Jennifer Lopez I wouldn’t mind. Even though you can see it on youtube over and over again.

My thoughts:

Poor Jen…. I think she did a great job recovering and I felt so bad for her when she fell. Having danced in the passed I know how upset she must of been after the show, although I didn’t perform in front of millions of people nation wide. Ohhh so scary! But I think she pulled off a great show and I say DON’T WORRY JEN We still love you!

I also just wanted to say that all the performances were exceptional. Janet Jackson’s opening act was great, Black Eyed Peas, JayZ, Alecia Keys, Lady Gaga, Kelly Clarkson, Whitney Houston, wow the list goes on…. if you missed it, you missed an incredible show this year!

Hurt – By: Trent Reznor – Covered By: Johnny Cash

Trent Reznor

Trent Reznor

Hurt lyrics

I hurt myself today
To see if I still feel
I focus on the pain
The only thing that’s real
The needle tears a hole
The old familiar sting
Try to kill it all away
But I remember everything

[Chorus:]
What have I become
My sweetest friend
Everyone I know goes away
In the end
And you could have it all
My empire of dirt
I will let you down
I will make you hurt

I wear this crown of thorns
Upon my liar’s chair
Full of broken thoughts
I cannot repair
Beneath the stains of time
The feelings disappear
You are someone else
I am still right here

[Chorus:]
What have I become
My sweetest friend
Everyone I know goes away
In the end
And you could have it all
My empire of dirt
I will let you down
I will make you hurt

If I could start again
A million miles away
I would keep myself
I would find a way

I ran into this song searching things on the web, and I thought the lyrics were really good. Simple but good. I read that Johnny Cash wrote the song, but then ran into another website that indicates that Trent Reznor wrote the song. If you know who truly wrote it, please let me know.

Memorial Weekend…(Mark Aaron James)

I know I am a little late on telling you how my Memorial Weekend went. I apologize. I have been so busy with school and work, and studying that I haven’t had the time to catch up.

So my weekend….

Friday we ended up not doing much, just hanging out at the house and I studied. Saturday we hung out during the day and at night got ready for a house concert at one of my boyfriends clients house. The artist: Mark Aaron James. I hadn’t heard about him until Saturday night, and let me tell you, I really enjoyed the night. It started off muggy, and it did rain a little but we were under the tent, and there was a nice breeze. This is something rare here in Miami LOL. So there was food and drinks and music. Can’t ask for a better night. ;)

So back to Mark….

His music lyrics remind me a lot of Jason Mraz. It’s funny, different, happy. I loved it. He sang and played the guitar wonderfully. Look below and you can see his picture. I also recommend you checking him out.

Sunday…

Sunday we stayed home during the day, while I studied some more, and at night we met up with another couple friend and went to my favorite Sushi place… Shibui. :)

We ate, and as I enjoyed the mouth watering sushi in my mouth we talked and enjoyed the night. Later went over to a Bar near by called Skully’s Tavern. Mind you, I used to go here when I was little with my Aunt, and I have to say the place looks good. The drinks were good too. They closed at 1:30 so we headed out to the Tavern by Sunset Place. Had more drinks, talked more and ended the night GREAT!!!!

Monday…

To not go into to much detail, my dad was in the hospital Sunday night and had to get his appendix removed. He’s okay and home now, but Monday, I had to go visit him at the hospital. We then went to my house and my brother, sister in law and nephews were there. So I studied more ( I KNOW, I KNOW, I’m so studious) LOL…. We ate some good BBQ & Later went back to my boyfriends house. It was a great weekend, very busy and getting ready for a big test I have tomorrow and a long busy weekend a head of me.

Until next time… shoot me an email with questions or leave comments.

The Opera (Madama Butterfly)

Last night I went to my first Opera. It’s sad that our culture here in the United States isn’t as educated about Theater and Opera and other things as most other countries are. I was very happy however, to see that the Opera was pretty full.

Madama Butterfly

Madama Butterfly - A must see Opera

The Opera

The first Opera I went to see was called Madama Butterfly. The story is incredible. I only wish I could understand Italian so I didn’t have to read the teleprompter. Either way, the show was amazing. Honestly I am one of those people who never was educated about Opera or anything of the sort. I am happy that I was able to go last night, I actually would look forward to seeing another Opera. This story was so touching that I actually had to hold back my tears at the end of the Opera. The performers were incredible, at one point 3 singers were singing different verses, with passion and it just sounded incredible. The orchestra was also very amazing, and beautiful.

My thoughts

If you haven’t gone to see an Opera I recommend you at least try it. Most people in the audience were much older, I would say around their 60′s and up. However, I did see more than a handful of younger people as well. This definitely however, tells me that we need to start teaching our Children different culture other then what the radio station plays in your home town. These people on these stages are incredible. It is something that everyone should experience at least once. I would love to also go to a Ballet, I have always wanted to do this. See the Nutcracker, and the musical Wicked. There is so much to see, and most of us don’t even know it’s out there.
