Taylor Swift


Taylor Swift is another one of my favorite singers. I just recently realized how much I like country music. For a long time I thought I hated it, but I think that was just bacause my dad liked it so much! I still only like the girl singers, though. Must be something about the fact that they aren't always talking about their wives and how it is they find it fit to sit around and let their spouse do all the work. Sorry, guys! I know it's hard to face the facts sometimes but it has to be said. Hehehehe...

Anyway, back to Taylor Swift.

She really is an amazing singer. She has so many songs that I can't pick a favorite! But I really like "Picture to Burn", "Stay Beautiful", and "Oh My, My, My".

Francesca Battistelli


I recently got a great CD from my aunt as a birthday present. It's a Francesca Battistelli CD. I had never heard of her She's a Christian Singer and got her backround in musical theatre which makes her perfect for me because I do a lot of musical theatre. Her dad is Italian, hence the cool name. She has some amazing songs! My personal favorite is "Free to be Me". The chorus is:
I got a couple dents in my fender
Got a couple rips in my jeans
Try to fit the peices together
But perfection is my enemy
On my own I'm so clumsy
But on your shoulders I can see
I'm free to be me
This is a great song and I listen to it all the time. In the car, in bed, in the morning, in my head, or anywhere. It's the kind of song that gets stuck in your head and you're happy about it- if you know what I mean. She has a wonderful voice and this song really compliments it.
