It turns out my prediction for American Idol was off! Jessica Sanchez was very close, but Phillip Phillips became our new American Idol in the end.
About a month ago, I made a prediction that Jessica Sanchez will win American Idol. She is now in the final two with my second favorite contestant, Phillip Phillips. Although I still stand by my prediction, I have a feeling it is going to be a close one. Both contestants fully deserve their place in the final two, and they will both go on to have very successful careers.
I’ve spent some time browsing the web to compile a list of the top 10 Mother’s Day songs. I came across many options, but I chose the ones that highlight all of the best characteristics of moms.
About a week and a half ago I recorded the beginning stage of a song in the making called “The Way Around.” Last night, I recorded stage 2. I have written the lyrics to the chorus and added another guitar part. The lyrics are influenced by my current lifestyle: Juggling a full-time job, running my website, writing songs, and maintaining a social life.
In January, I created the Twitter account @LouisvilleTuned so I could tweet about Louisville music, news, reviews, and events… but mostly Louisville music! Nearly all of my followers have no idea who is behind the account, but I have been tweeting on it almost every day.
When I was in college at The University of Louisville, I took a couple video production classes. I really enjoyed learning about planning and producing videos! For one of my video projects, I was in a group of two with a girl named Stacey. We made a trailer for a made up thriller movie called “Man Hunt.” I took the opportunity to make a musical score for the video.
I stated in my previous post I would write about my reaction after seeing Yanni at The Louisville Palace. Although this is not typically my kind of music, I was excited about this concert because it is always good to venture from the norm. In order for musical taste to evolve, you have to let it.
Tomorrow night, I will be going to see Yanni at The Louisville Palace. Although it doesn’t fall into my usual musical taste, I can definitely dig it! He is a huge inspiration to people all over the globe, and his musical compositions have a one of a kind sound that have landed him two Grammy nominations.
I had a dream where I was playing the beginning melody of this song a couple nights ago. I decided to record it today and make a full song out of it. Although it didn’t turn out how I had expected, I am happy with the outcome. That’s part of what makes music so rewarding! After playing the initial melody, I improvised on the piano for awhile before returning to the melody again.
I must admit, I do not follow every episode of American Idol. However, my family and girlfriend do, so I catch some of it as well. I have seen a few performances by Jessica Sanchez and she is AMAZING! This small 16 year old girl has a huge voice, consistently nails her performances, and has the stage presence of someone who has been doing it for decades.
