is it just me or do these songs sound very similar?

rihanna: te amo

ne-yo: miss independent

helps explain why i like both.

that i love taylor swift’s “fifteen?” and that i like (love?) her in general?

also, should i feel shame that i kind of like “glee?” it’s up against “criminal minds” and “law and order: SVU” (damn you jay leno), so i’m facing a difficult decision with my double tuner.

another note on “glee,” which might be the deciding factor: i can’t stand when high school shows feature teachers and relevant personnel who are too good-looking. for some reason i can suspend disbelief for other genres, but high school shows don’t get any leeway. i just think about my own high school experience and how the hot teachers would definitely be messing around w/ students. my mind is in the gutter.

the internet has imploded.

or as athina points out, “Ryan O’neill is gonna be piiiiissssssed.”

nina simone — feeling good

Birds flying high you know how I feel
Sun in the sky you know how I feel
Reeds driftin on by you know how I feel

Its a new dawn
Its a new day
Its a new life
For me
And Im feeling good

Fish in the sea you know how I feel
River running free you know how I feel
Blossom in the tree you know how I feel

Its a new dawn
Its a new day
Its a new life
For me
And Im feeling good

Dragonfly out in the sun you know what I mean, dont you know
Butterflies all havin fun you know what I mean
Sleep in peace when day is done
Thats what I mean

And this old world is a new world
And a bold world
For me

Stars when you shine you know how I feel
Scent of the pine you know how I feel
Oh freedom is mine
And I know how I feel

Its a new dawn
Its a new day
Its a new life
For me
And Im feeling good

heard this song in forever 21, of all places. i think i’m getting old, but i have no idea how people shop in that store. it’s as if a bunch of dyed polyester exploded all over the walls and someone forgot to call hazmat.

i’m such a sucker for mediocre cross-gender harmonizing (2:34 mark). you could have a song that was terrible with one person singing, add the opposite gender, and you had me at hello. remember this?

this was the first song i thought of when i came up with “cross-gender harmonizing.”

paranoid

i’ve been getting kinda girly on this blog lately, but this is a good beyonce track. this youtube upload sucks, but wow beyonce is ridic hot. i’ll update if a better version of the video comes out. beyonce is the bionic woman minus the ninja skills.

but this one’s good, too: “unusual you”

very unbritney sounding.
