Breathing isn't cliche. I don't get that. (I get just playing something because you like it and to hell with what people will think, of course.)

There's a lady plays her fav'rite records/On the jukebox ev'ry day/All day long she plays the same old songs/And she believes the things that they say/She sings along with all the saddest songs/And she believes the stories are real/She lets the music dictate the way that she feels.

I think that's Amanda's point. Just because something is done all the time, that doesn't you should stop doing it.

It says that there are people who hadn't heard it before it was on AI this week.
Oh, god. Is that why Jeff Buckley's cover of "Hallelujah" was the #1 song on iTunes this week?

Shrift: In the Globe article it says that the AI judges specifically mentioned Buckley's version.

I should just be happy that they're listening to Buckley at all, huh.

Well, yeah, I get that. But breathing is still not a cliche.

And neither is playing "Hallelujah", is her point.

Yeah, but using it in musical montages on tv is.

Mmm, I don't agree with that. Breathing's not a cliche because a cliche is a creative action, a phrase or concept or something like that. Playing a song can be a cliche, maybe not like yelling for "Free Bird," but covering "Hallelujah" is getting there if it isn't there already. I think Lisa's right. The analogy doesn't make sense, although the feeling behind the analogy does.
