In a timeless search - for a love that might work - I had to try to sing it crappily.
It sounds totally simple, but it's actually harder than it seems. I mean it really sounds simple. Whatevs, I'm just learning it.

Still, this song kicks ass. I totally love it, singing skills aside. I totally understand the situation she's in, and the lyrics are remarkably straightforward, for her. And shoot, everything rhymes!!! And it's all so even. We love that.

Go on, sing it.

****, i have never heard this before! omg, did she just say "ooooo-eeee, listen to me ... my secret love ... secretly ... died"?!?! she did!

ooooo-eeee, listen to me. my new favorite stevieism. bless her heart.

ok, i haven't listened to your version yet.

edit: ok, now i have. i get what you mean about singing crappily, not because it's crappy, it's just a looser vocal.

DUDE! We're still twinny dopplegangers -

That was my whole point, the past couple weeks - I had that phrase in my sig for seriously two weeks just now.

With laughing, of course.

My sig said "Ooo-wee-listen to me" and then "Really Stevie? Really? 'Oooweee, listen to me' is what you really intended to say there?'"

followed by laughies, because it make me laugh whenever I hear it, no matter how much I like the song. I thought everyone knew that song, cause i'm so behind, or whatever - but no one said anything. It was definitely hard for me to believe that no one found that song as funny as I. I just figured they had all gotten over it already - already lauged their asses off about it.

That's why I love my girl - She always mixes hot and cold and exciting with lame and flacid and cliched and over emotional and phoning it in.


The thing is, even her phoning can be superior. But also, that keeps it exciting, b/c you never know what level of performance you will see. Mostly she's pretty good, but I've heard about some bad times. And heard some less than her best vocals.


Glad my vocal could be helpful to you and highlight the pitfalls and point out some glaring flaws that could happen. Okay, now you sing it drunk.

lolllll, seriously? that was your sig? i totally must've missed it, probably because i didn't know what it meant. hey, but mine's pretty and rainbow-y.

i could record something for this, but it probably wouldn't be as exciting as yours.

PHOENIX...Where did you find that large cut out of the Mac and then have you and your friends take a photo of that behind you? It almost looks real.
