Remembering Heath Ledger
I must of been one of the last people to hear that Heath Ledger past away. Like most people who were either fans of him or not, I was shocked to hear the news of the 28 year old Australian native actor.
I first seen Heath Ledger on the 1999 romantic teen comedy ’10 Things I Hate About You’, a modern day remake of the Shakespare play “The Taming of the Shrew”. It also stars, Julia Stiles and Gabrielle Union.
Heath Ledger’s acting career was really taking off after his Oscar nominated role in Brokeback Mountain. One of his latest film, that is yet to be released is the new Batman movie with Christian Bale called ‘The Dark Knight’, where he plays the Joker.
A Classic Saxophone Love Song
When I see and hear people play like this, it makes me want to play the Saxophone again. I use to play in Junior High, for maybe about three years, but it was no where near as good as she plays.
She is playing one of my favorite oldie love songs, ‘Nothing’s Gonna Change My Love for You’ by Glenn Medeiros. I can listen to this all night. Have a glass of wine and just chill.
Jordin Sparks Wins American Idol!
Jordin Sparks makes history as the youngest winner of American Idol. At 17 years old, she beat out thousands and competed against some of the best vocal talent in the filed.
She joins Kelly Clarkson, Ruben Studdard, Fantasia Barrino, Carrie Underwood and Taylor Hicks as the 6th American Idol winner.
Blake Lewis vs. Jordin Sparks
After thousands of auditions, controversial contestants, and surprise results shows, we are now down to the final two. Last night Blake Lewis and Jordin Sparks both from Seattle, went head to head for your approval and votes to become the next American Idol.
It was a classic battle of performer versus the vocalist. Performance definitely goes to Blake Lewis who is a natural at it. His unique and individual style has definitely earned him a spot in the finals. Jordin Sparks the 17 year old shines with personality and a great range of vocal talent that is unmatched by Blake.
Who will win the biggest prize in reality competition and the title of American Idol?
My vote goes to Jordin Sparks. Although Jordin is not as great of a performer as Blake, there is something about the way she sings songs that gives you a rush of emotions. When both Blake and Jordin sang the original song called ‘This is My Now’, which will become the first release single by the winner. Jordin’s version was the one that stood out the most and the crowd appreciated.
As you know, this is American Idol so anything can happen. I wouldn’t be surprised if Blake wins. Either way I know it is cliché, but they are all winners. You look at past contestants who never won the title but are successful today. Chris Doughtrey and Jennifer Hudson are just a few to name.
Watch their performances from last night’s episode. And you decide who do you think should win. Be sure to watch tonight’s results show, which will be jam packed with performances from the Top 12.

I tried to convince you that I am a racist
Because I believe we are brothers fighting
To end racism together
But we are together and I am not a racist
Did you know? That a racist school has different colors of the rainbow
It is a school because it is somewhere with education
It was a place in my heart
See I thought that by calling myself racist I could bring
This world of ours to a new world but I want to belong in your world
Because my heart is real and racism is not real
I will not be a slave we deserve better energy
When I think about it is easy to hate but much easier to hate myself
And just because I hate doesn’t mean I am hatred
I tried to convince you that I am a sexist
Because I believe we are brothers with sisters
Fighting with brothers and sisters
But we are brothers and I am not a sexist
I was wrong. Just because I was sexist for one day
Doesn’t make me a sexist my whole life
It is not my name and should not be one of the words we share
See I thought that by calling myself sexist I could be a man
And make the world understand that I finally have the chance to be weak
But you said I deserve a better lifestyle
When I think about it is easy to identify a woman as a hero but difficult
To understand because I am not a woman
And just because our friendship is beyond respect
I want us to introduce ourselves as heroes
Because she is our sister I’ll tell her I am stronger
Because my heart is real and sexism is not real
Charla and Mirna: Annoying, but Entertaining
This is why I love this show; I get a laugh out of Charla and Mirna. They are probably the most annoying and yet entertaining team on the Amazing Race All Stars. Personally I dislike their methods of using their short status to get ahead, their constant fake accent that they seem to use when speaking to the locals, and their manipulative ways during stressful situations, but during interviews they try and show America that they are good kind hearted people. Phulease….
Watch these scenes from episode eight. It’s hilarious. It’s kind of mean that the producers are playing circus music when Charla was making herself throw up, but it’s still funny as hell. My favorite part is when Mirna is freaking out at Charla in the car, and Charla is asking for Mirna to yell at her some more, because it is not enough. Haahahha. ROFL…
