Post: "Am I your fire, your one desire...?"

[labyrinth2015]

"...Tell me why, ain't nothing but a heartbreak..."

We interrupt the holiday hangover item postage to bring you this cuteness from empressearwig: Selena Gomez and her band take on the Backstreet Boys! With bonus blond, tousled, air-bass-playing ex-Anthemic Joey Clements. I don't know most of these guys, but it's seriously adorable, folks!

Something else adorable: someone's getting cleaned up for serious publicity for someone's impending new album. (Are you happy the glasses are gone, frackin_sweet?)



From AOL and popeater.com. "...Believe me when I say, I want it that way." (Or, you know, whatever way you're dishing up today, David. ♥ ♥ ♥)

Yes, totally awesome party song! I will admit to karaokeing with my team on occasion, as is one of the cultural bonding things on the Island, and we totally rock this song XDDD

I KNOW your EBYT issues, but if they had done it creepy like it was meant to be, they'd have totally bombed (though it woulda been awesome!). I was linked to Committed youtubes; I don't watch Sing Off and so I missed Street Corner Symphony - I just googled their Creep and HOMG it was amazing! (FTR, I recall you being big into the choral works :))

Imo, if you can't do EBYT right, you shouldn't be doing it at all. ;P The judges actually called them on their lack of grit on that song (cue me pumping my fist in the air and applauding the judges) - it was supposed to be rock, and it wasn't, not at all, so they kind of did bomb a bit anyway.

Sing Off was an awesome show. Made me realise how good a reality contest can be when you have kind-but-constructive-and-competent judges, and everybody loves what they're doing. If you liked Creep you should totally look up their Fix You as well. And, well, all the other songs they did (other than the Beatles medley, because that kind of bombed). They were my absolute faves, followed by the Backbeats (who was a very new group and it showed a bit sometimes, but they gave some truly awesome performances - I recommend "If I Were A Boy", "Landslide" and "Love Shack" - and I have a major crush on their vocal percussionist, ahem) and then Committed came in third for me, purely because they lacked a bit of, well, grit.

Sing Off didn't air on the Island, so I relied on fandom squee over the occasional vid to keep me up to date. And boy, that "Fix You" is really something! They have that edge all right.

Bruce/Sting doing EBYT :) I ship it!

It didn't air here either (we get all the other crappy reality contest, but this one? Not a peep), so I bought a season pass with a giftcard for the US iTunes. It's one of those things that's technically maybe not quite legal, but I can't for the life of me see that anybody gets hurt, so I don't feel bad doing it. iTunes get their money, and I'm not robbing any Danish vendor of revenue. *shrug* It was money well spent, imo.

Bruce/Sting. I ship it. XD

Ah, I don't think anyone would consider it an issue, bb.

LET'S WATCH IT AGAIN :) Bruce looking besotted! Sting doing the Springsteen-style yelps! The jumping around and the close-up singing, and the hugging! ♥

Awwww. They are so adorable. *smishes them* I love it when singers share a mic - they have to get all up in each other's personal space. And these two don't exactly seem to mind. XD

[jehane-writes.livejournal.com]

Heh, they sure loved to smish each other! And to share that mic. *watches again* XDDD
