Song of the Day: Tuesday

It's officially summer. Nothing to do with the calendar. It's the infernal heat that marks it. It was so hot that I couldn't abide the thought of wearing pants. I wore a dress. No hose. I brought a sweater to shield me from the ice box air conditioning on the train and at work.

And, there was a fierce thunderstorm. This is what I love about summer: the storms. I sleep better when there is rain, thunder and lightening. It cools off the night. Hopefully I will be getting a lot of sleep this summer.

Anyway, this is the song that has been in my head. I finally listened to the original version by Christina Perri, but I like Katrina Parker's version better.

Song of the Day: Thursday

World's shortest work week. I was so tired last night that I fell asleep for a significant amount of time with the light on! I got to work pretty close to on time. I spent the day sharing about my trip, though, and trying to tie up some loose ends. I actually stayed a little late, too! It's nice to have a break.

When I got home I caught up on some of my DVR shows and I finally watched the Voice Finals. I am happy for Jermaine Paul. I am not the biggest fan of R&B/Soul, but I really like him. It's the way that he sings with emotion and passion. Other R&B singers don't effect me as he does. This was his song.

Song of the Day: Friday

I'm not sure why but I am on some girl power kick this week. I DVRed The Voice and got to hear Lindsey Pavao sing "Part of Me". However, I'm using the Katy Perry version because the video is girl power. Bring back the Spice Girls!

Song of the Day: Tuesday

I am caught up on The Voice. Tonight I watched the dvr of Monday and the live of tonight's shows. There were some good performances, but nothing that sticks with me like last week's performances.

Lindsey Pavao is great. There is something about her voice and style that makes me want to buy whatever album she drops. Last week she sang Somebody I Used to Know. The song is so beautiful and haunting. The arrangement and staging were awesome. As I searched for the original artist, I found another cover by Walk Off The Earth. The video is so innovative and they are a great group. I'll be keeping an eye out for them as well.

Song of the Day: Sunday

Today I had Easter dinner with my CL friends. I was the only non-Italian there. It was funny! And, these people are so dear to me. I had planned to stay home, cook for myself and watch some tv. Instead, I watched tv when I got home.

I was watching The Voice live show and the results show on dvr. This year has a little twist: after America votes, the bottom three get to sing another song for their coach to win a save. On Team Christina, Ashley De La Rosa sang this song. Really, really good. She blew me away! And she got the save!
