I wanted to yell and rock with Stevie, so I picked Gold and Braid, and I Need to Know! and, I'm actually singing with Stevie.

The creative part is, I don't know hardly any of the words to Gold and Braid, but i'm singing it anyway!!!

Plus, there's a little "improv" in the middle for some more laughs! Oh, I bet you can hardly wait! Anyway, here's my vocal stylings, I hope some of you get a kick out of them. It's okay to laugh, I did. Oh, and I'll be posting Angel in a bit, as well. I chose these songs because I absolutely love to sing them, I hope you can tell! Heck, why else would I throw these monstrosities up for y'all?

Amber you sound great!!! You CAN sing!!!
And I love the fact that you've basically got Stevie doing back up vocals for you

aww, trackie. Thanks. what are friends for, if not to say something nice in situations like that?

Here's my other entry, Angel. I love to sing this song, and I love this song period, but it's pretty hard (for me). Anyway, I kept trying to get it good, but finally just said "f*** it" and here it is...again, you may feel free to laugh.

Well, I honestly truly enjoyed listening to it! And you not knowing the words I felt was just a tribute to Stevie's drugged out performances of yesteryear!

Let me know if you get it, thepoetinmyheart.

I want to see!!! I can't write poetry at all, it would be a great treat!!!

Oh my God, Ambuhhhhh! I would probably poke you in your little eye if I was sitting beside you at a Stevie show! You are SOOOOOO annoying!!!

Just kidding! You can belt out the Stevie, BIG TIME!!!

Are you taking requests for your next mp3 post?

I can't find Hey Jupiter's original post back in the pile, but her version is out of control good. Such a beautiful soft voice. And actually, I like it MORE than Stevie's version!

Warning: You might have to crank it up to hear me.

Wow Nancy I missed yours and you can sing beautifully too! What's going on? Why am I the only one who can't sing for toffee?

Okay, since you asked, and no laughing.

I did it with a black background and white letters, and I placed a picture of Stevie (below), that I thought went with the poem, looking at the poem from the right side of the page with the poem on the left side of the page. (I couldn't figure how to put it on here like I sent it in the email, so I had to describe it for you.

)

In Her

In her I can feel the pain of the world
Like prayers unanswered by God
In her I touch the anguish
That only she feels just
In her I can see the darkness
Like the time before acceptance
In her I can feel a burden
One that she solely bears
Like a wooden cross upon the back of all humanity
In her I view real life, a trueness of self,
Not looking for acceptance from most
Only those who have felt the same hopelessness at their feet
In her I can see independence, dying to be set free,
Only too scared of what lies waiting out beyond the storms
In her I see genteel frailty shielded wearily with superficial strength
As she tries to face the steely world about
In her I search the harsh world that has educated her soul
A world she wishes to alter in hopes of healing her wounds
Only to be lost down the winding road that took her gods to salvation
In her I face myself her

That is beautiful. It made me cry.

I'm so glad you posted it, it is definitely worthy of being shared. great pic choice, by the way. Thank you so much for sharing that with us.

Wow!

So, I haven't been on much this week andwas worried I wouldn't see any submissions when I checked, but geez you all went crazy and you all are so talented. I'll compile all the entries into one post around midnight tonight substituting your name for contestant A etc. Then the judges can just go off that one post. Again, results will not be known tonight, but the deadline is midnight (US PST), which gives everyone about 9.5 hours to get stuff in if you haven't already.

Again, you've all amazed me with what you've done
