So, last weekend, I was watching some Millionaire Matchmaker (as you do), and one of the women was super-familiar. I thought maybe she had been on an earlier episode of MM, but no. I thought maybe Tough Love? But no. So I just scoured the VH1 website, until I figured out she was the runner-up on the Antonio Sabato Jr show. FML.
Yes, there is. There's a hurry, Xander. I'm dying...I may have as few as fifty years left.

Loving all of that crap really is my (not so) secret shame.

I am sorry Groove For Thought went home, but "Changes" really isn't a hard rock song, and I think that counted against them.
I think that losing the words and going off key was what killed them, although I didn't like their song. It was the first time I'd seen the show, but the two songs I saw were very jazzy. I understand that they have their style, but they need to be able to adapt to the challenge. But, again, I'm a first timer.
I liked Committed a lot, loved both of their songs. I thought that their first critique was really harsh, but if they'd knocked it out of the park before, I can see how this was just "good".
As with Jesse, I loved all of the "guilty pleasure" songs. "Kyrie" was amazing. Made me want to pull out my Mr. Mister LPs. I would have no where to play them, but I could get them out.

I'm pretty sure I had the 45 of "Kyrie," Vortex. Sniffle.

I may have downloaded "Kyrie", "Is This Love", and "Broken Wings".

I'm terrifically busy with my ennui.
I love Kyrie, even though it makes no sense.

I was jut having that conversation recently! But why? And with whom? Hmm.

"Faded like the lilac, he thought."
Yeah, as cute as she was, the girl singing lead for Groove for Thought really did botch. We've done that song with our band, and I will say that a) there are a lot of words there, so I know it's a tough one, but it's one you chose, and b) that's a jazz song structurally for sures, so it doesn't surprise me that they chose it, and they could have rocked it out, but they didn't.
As I mentioned, I missed last Wednesday's show because I'm an idiot, so I missed the elims. I wasn't surprised to see the high schoolers gone, but what did the Whiffenpoufs do that sent them packing?

They were good Liese. But that whole bracket was good (Streetcorner Symphony, Committed, Groove for Thought and The Whiffenpoufs). Groove for Thought was phenomenal last week with Cooler Than Me. I hated the brackets and were glad they were done with them last night.
