8.A picture that makes you laugh:
This is Michael Tait and I, for more info, scroll down....

We went to the Winter Jam tour in  Grand Rapids on Sunday... It was my first ever concert and it was AH-MAZING!!!!! Whoa! What a night.. But the above picture is of me asking Michael Tait of Newsboys if I could touch him... I wasn't able to while he was preforming so i waited 1/2 hour in line to meet him. Let me say, it was worth it! My hand smelled like the Newsboys for awhile after... *sigh* It was amazing!

I loved it all and want to go back next year!

Here's a pic of Chris August and I

When I went up to Chris August to have him sign me Winter Jam shirt, this is what happened:

Me: You were amazing! I love your shoes!

Chris: Thank you! You know what? I love *you*! Wait. That sounded wierd. We just met!

hahaha, it was awesome! :)

We where in the 4th row from the stage and even though my camera lens' zoom was awful, I got some awesome pictures! Below is my fav one of Michael Tait preforming "Way Beyond Myself"... Don't you just LOVE the Newsboys? hehehe But they preformed allt he songs I hoped they would, I loved everything.... :)

Love,

Josie

Unbelievable Music

I just got this music from the library and it is amazing....I'm talking about the soundtrack to the the amazing "Titanic"! I was reading "Dear John", by Nicholas Sparks {which is great!!!} and reading the ending and listening to the soundtrack proved to be a bit much for one night! If you saw me during that you woul've run the other way! I was crying from the book and then fom the music {I get emotional at things like that, but I kinda like it!}but here is my fave song from it {next to Rose's theme!....... Just close your eyes and let it wash over you...... :)



And here's my other fav!

LoVe NeVeR DiEs

Hello, I broke my promise...I'm posting while on vaca. Oh, well. I'm a bit bored, it's raining here and we are having a laid back afternoon. The kids are watching "the Mouse Trap" it is hilarious! Love it! I also watched "Mamma Mia" this morning....I loved it! :) Enough about the movies I've been watching, I have something really exciting to share!

Okay, last Spring I discovered something wonderful, well at least to a Phantom of The Opera  "phan" Like me!}. I found out that Mr. Andrew Lloyd Webber was working on a sequel to POTO and would be called Love Never Dies. Starring some of my favs {Sierra Boggess and Ramin Kramiloo}To read the story line *note: some spoilers*  search for it on Wikipedia. Anyway, I was getting worried it would be a flop and I would hate the music. If you ever look for the  LND album there will alsways be people who say it's trash and awful, but there are always reviews like that and so it's hard to know if they are right or not. So I went out on a limb and got the music {still woried that it would be a waste of  $18} I listened and was blown away! The musical, Andrew Lloyd Webber hopes, is and can be a stad-alone piece. And it can be veiwed as such but there are some notes scattered in the score from POTO and it gives you a surge of recogniziation and you feel great. But it is awesome, I recomend it to any "Phan" :) Or to any Broadway lover.

Here are some awesome videos to show what it's all about it and I will list them in the order they came out, so here we go!

The press launch last fall:



Ramin Karmiloo singing "Till I Hear You Sing" :)



The Trailer for the London production:



Opening night!!!!




The show is playing in London only right now but the Broadway production is planned to open in the fall, I can't wait to see it!

Wow, i wrote a lot! But this musical is really good, so I hope all you "phans" get to hear about this and become as excited as I am!

GrEaT MuSiC I've GoTtEn ReCeNtAlLy

I've gotten some great music recently and I wanted to share what it was. Random? Yes, but I LOVE the music I got.  I have to admit, I got some of the Glee music and I L-O-V-E it! It is all so good!

From the Vol. 2 CD I got "Don't Rain On My Parade". Lea Michelle sings and it and is amazing! I also love the upbeat tempo of the song.

From Vol. 1 I got "Don't Stop Believin'" I love, love that song and they sing it really well! I have that song stuck in my head for days. But that's a good thing :)

I got "I Dreamed A Dream" from this CD. "Wow" is all I can say. Idina Menzel is on the song and is awesome {as usual} and it's a great version of the song!

I also got "Steal Your Rock N' Roll" from Memphis. It's a very upbeat song and very hum-able. :) It would be and is a great song to dance to.

I know I was soooo against this musical earlier but one song on the whole CD is worth listening to, and that is "Boulevard of Broken Dreams" I really like that song and it gets stuck in your head as well. That song is the only "clean" song on the whole CD I believe. {There's alot of swearing in that musical :( }

Well, that's my most recent listens, let me know if you like any of those songs or anything related to them!

What are you doing today? I have a appointment with the torturer of my poor mouth, aka the orthodontist. :I

But I hope they have new news about how much longer I need my braces on! :)
