Two Things To Mention:

First off, do you watch American Idol? We followed it last season for the first time, and have been roped into it again this season :). But for the love, I can't believe Haley got voted off Thursday night! What the what?! She is fantastic! Her voice & stage presence are perfection. If you don't believe me/don't know what I'm talking about, here, allow me to enlighten you:



She just did this last week, and it was one of my favorite performances. As Jennifer Lopez put it, it was "ethereal". Skip to 3:10 of the video to see her sing:


Amazing, right?

Don't get me wrong, I appreciate Lauren and Scotty too, their superb voices and simple, country attitude. Plus, they are both Christian and have a good message in their voice. I love that.

But Haley gives you goosebumps.

The second item to discuss is Adele. I love her!

Holy Smokes! She is beautiful, talented, and a breath of fresh air because she's not bone skinny, performing half naked. She's just singing her heart out, making gorgeous music. Here she is at the British music awards.



I spent a good part of last night watching youtube videos of her. I love the one of her at the Montreaux Jazz Festival in Switzerland. Adam performed there with the Monterey Jazz Band back in the day. He said it's beautiful; a little city on Lake Geneva with the Alps as a backdrop. I want him to take me some day....

But for now, I'll just die over it as I watch videos on youtube.

That Adele can sure sing. I almost cried at the end of the song with her.

I liked Haley too! Maybe she will perform at the Mid-State fair when she has her record deal and all:)
