This one was about our beagle Fenris.
That's a fantastic, rather Gertrude Stein bit of writing.
I like books. I just don't want to take on too much. Do they have an introduction to the modern blurb?

Greece's financial crisis threatens to take down all of Western civilization - a civilization they themselves founded. A rather tragic irony - which is something they also invented. - Jon Stewart
She has a lot more emotion in her voice than the bulk of even really good church choir singers I've known. It strikes a chord in a lot of her listeners.
She deffinately sounds like the les miz recordings but that makes sense -- she hasn't been developing pieces as her own. Why would she? She's like almost every high school singing 'star' that I've ever heard in that way.
The emotion is pretty special. The producers worked it to be certain, but its deffinately real.

Bon, have you heard her singing "Cry Me a River"? It's from 10 years ago and hit teh internets today. It might change your mind. Or, it might not. But you should go listen.

It's five thousand for kissing, ten thousand for snuggling... End of list.
That Cry Me a River sounds really great-- to me it sounds like a totally different singer. Doesn't really change the quality of the Britain's Got Talent performance, though.

Now tagless for your comfort.
Could have been nerves--I read that it was the first time she performed since her mother died. I was impressed but I also may have been reacting to Simon Cowell's face.

I haven't trusted science since I saw the film "Flubber."
She was aiming for Broadway (or West End). Sounded good to me.
Though yes, the song was too low for her in the low parts.

I like the BGT video specifically because of all of the smirking that went on before she performed, and how taken aback the audience and judges were. I thought she sang the song very, very well, especially under the circumstances. But when I heard "Cry Me a River", I felt like a true talent had finally been discovered.

Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.
Made it until 4 this time. Progress? Anyway, this is 4 and my brain is still leaking out my ears, so I'm going to clean up and get some pain meds.

Happy belated birthday, Sheryl!
And sara! Whoooo! Go you, and house, and everything! Wish I could be there to give a hand. I love helping friends-people to move.
ita and Juliebird, your minds and brain should give you a ****ing break, IMHO. Is weekend.
