I Know She Can Dance

I'm a little upset today. Actually, I'm really upset. Last night on SYTYCD, my favorite dancer was eliminated. Now, I wouldn't be so upset if Allison had actually deserved to be eliminated. But I think it is clear, and not only to me, that Allison was the best girl dancer, if not the best dancer period on the whole show. How America didn't see that is a mystery to me. Actually, I think most of America did see that. They just didn't vote becaue they figured that she would make it to the end and so they voted for those who they thought needed it more. Big fat mistake people! Vote for your favorite dancer and they will stay! It's not a hard concept to grasp. I voted over 400 times for Allison but it obviously didn't help. It seriously boggles my mind that people actually voted for Heidi, Natalie and friggin' Donyelle more than they voted for Allison. Hello people!! Donyelle sucks. She is not nearly as good as Allison. The only reason she has looked good up until now is because Benji was her partner. And Benji's so good he could make my dog look like she's a good dancer. What do I have to look forward to watching now? Natalie crying? Nope, seen that plenty of times before. Heidi's scandalous outfits? Nope, don't care to see that. Donyelle dancing at all? H to the no. Especially because it should be her A sitting in the audience watching and not Allison's. Allison was the only dancer I actually looked forward to watching, she was THAT good. If Benji or Travis don't win and it's one of those girls, I'm writing the show off for good.

Praise the Heavens

The title to this post is very appropriate. First of all, I just want to say that I am so glad that America was smart and didn't vote for Dmitry on my new favorite reality TV show. Yes, that is right everyone, So You Think You Can Dance is my favorite summer show. For the record, I think Allison should win. And I'm not just saying that because she is a local and went to my same junior high. I think she is the best dancer on the show. But then again, what do I know about dancing? I also love Benji because he is hysterical. They are the only ones who ever get my votes.

Secondly, if you haven't noticed already, I have changed the URL to my blog. It is now so-this-is-my-blog.blogspot.com. Original, I know. I was just sick of having my first and last name as the URL.

And finally, I have yet to post about how the Soccer Sex God himself,(Kristine thought of that one) David Beckham is coming to Salt Lake City in 23 days and I get to see him in person. HELLO!! It is not certain whether he will play or not but do I really care? Well, maybe a little, but I mostly just want to see his beautiful face. I found out today that he is scheduled to participate in an autograph signing session before the game. You can bet your you know what that I will be there! McKensie and I are very excited, to say the least. It is going to be a blast!

Well, that is all for now. I am going to go to bed now so I can wake up and look hot for the beautiful inter-office mail delivery person who comes into my office each day. He WILL love me someday. Peace.

My List

I do not want to be at work any longer. It is 3:30 and I am ready to go home. Time to write another blog.

I came across another person's blog and the entry was about 10 characters in television and movies that they would "do". I, being the good Mormon girl that I am, obviously wouldn't "do" them. Deciding to define "do" in another way, I started thinking of who I would choose.

This is what I've come up with:
Honorable Mention: Noel Crane from Felicity(when he has cute hair) and Rusty Ryan from Oceans 11(I had to add Brad Pitt in there somewhere).






10. Ben Barry from How to Lose a Guy in 10 Days. Matthew McConaughey has got a rockin' bod, there's no denying that.









9. Sawyer from Lost. I can't help but think the bad guy is sexy. And he also has a rockin' bod.












8. Paul Walker's character on Into the Blue. Okay, I don't even know his name but that is not a requirement. All I remember from that movie is that he looked GOOD.







7. Tony from 24. Oh how I miss Tony. Who doesn't want to, ahem, "do" a hero?









6. Will Tippin from Alias. I loved him. I almost wanted him to hook up with Sidney instead of Vaughn. Almost. But who doesn't want a hot best friend, with added benefits, like him?






5. Dr. McDreamy from Grey's Anatomy. Okay, nobody can deny the fact that he really is a dreamboat.











4. Jason Bourne from the Bourne Identity. I only needed to see one scene in that movie to make me want to rock that bod.







3. Jack from Lost. He used to be my number 4 but after having recently watched Party of Five, Matthew Fox is really starting to grow on me. And when he is Jack, he is just plain sexy.









2. Ben Covington from Felicity. As big of a jerk as he can be, I still love him. I don't know what it is about him that makes me love him as much as I do, I just do. And I always will.





1. Michael Vaughn in Alias. I didn't know it was possible for me to love Michael Vartan any more than I did in Never Been Kissed. But then I saw Alias. Do I really need to explain more? I didn't think so.








There is my list of characters I would "do". You can choose to define "do" however you joy and I will define it however I joy.




I must add that if athletes were a part of this list then I would have to add Andy Roddick and David Beckham to it. I'm not sure but I think I might make Andy my number one and David my number 4 behind Ben. I love Andy and I seriously think that I could look at David Beckham all day.






That is all.

Happy Birthday

Tomorrow I will be 20. That is halfway to 40. 40 is halfway to 80 which is practically dead. Okay, that's a little extreme. It's just a little weird thinking that my teenage years will be over in less than 12 hours. I'm so old.

American Idol: Boy Band Edition

I must admit that I used to be an avid boy band fan back in the day. Nsync, Backstreet Boys, 98 Degrees, you name it. I was a fan. Let's be honest though, 98 Degrees never achieved the fame that the Backstreet Boys or Nsync did. Therefore, I wasn't as big of fan of them as I was BSB and Nsync. Out of those two groups, it was always a toss up as to who I liked more. I went through phases and at times liked BSB more. Other times, I was thoroughly obsessed with Nsync. I've been to 3
Backstreet Boys concerts and one Nsync concert over the course of my life and I enjoyed every single one of them. I used to have posters covering the walls of my room and I recorded every appearance they had on TV. Yes, I was a huge fan, but I wasn't one of those girls who you always saw crying at their concerts or anything like that. I wasn't that extreme.

The reason I am writing about this was because having listened to practically every song on my iPod while at work, I decided I'd listen to the good old boy bands. I listened to all of them. I started thinking about how talented they really were and if they were even talented at all. I wondered what would happen if each member was on American Idol, singing solos. Who would win? Here is what I think would happen:

Out of the 3 groups there are 14 members- 98 Degrees: Jeff, Justin, Nick, and Drew. Nsync: Justin, Joey, JC, Chris, and Lance. BSB: Brian, AJ, Nick, Howie, and Kevin.

Chris from Nsync would get laughed at and his audition would be replayed for weeks. Definitely not in the top ten. I also think that neither Kevin, Justin from 98 Degrees(is he the ugly bald one? I think so, but that might be Jeff. We'll just pretend like it's Justin. Those of you who know the group, know who I'm talking about) or Joey would make it to the top ten.

So the top ten would be Jeff, Nick L., Drew, Justin, JC, Lance, Brian, AJ, Nick, and Howie.

In the first round I think that Howie would get kicked off. Although, he does represent the only bit of diversity on this version of AI. Regardless, I think he would be gone. He doesn't have the looks and his voice is too high.

Second round: Lance would be kicked off. His voice is too deep and I don't think he has the range to make it as a solo artist. Plus, he's just goofy looking.

Third Round: I'm going to say that Jeff from 98 Degrees would be booted this round. I don't really know what he sounds like when singing alone so this is really just based on what I know about the other members of the competition.

Fourth Round: Drew would be knocked out of the competition. See reason for Jeff.

Fifth Round: I know a lot of girls like Nick Carter but he just doesn't do it for me. And his voice definitely doesn't do it for me. He tried it as a solo artist once and it didn't work out for him. So although some might be sad to see him go, it's definitely his turn.

Sixth Round: JC would be kicked off. I was always a big fan of his. He has a good voice, I just don't think he would accumulate enough votes to move past this round.

Seventh Round: AJ would be next to go. He has a really good voice and he has a different look than the rest. He would be like the "bad boy" of the competition.

Eighth Round: Sadly enough, I would say that Nick Lachey would be booted next. He's good, but I just don't think he's as good as the other two remaining. Albeit, he's definitely got the looks and the body. Any girl would take what's left of him.

The finale: Brian and Justin are left. This would be a very difficult decision. Brian has an amazing voice, there's no denying that, but Justin can sing as well. If it were based on looks alone, then Justin would win. Only if he looked like he does now, and not like he did when he was a member of Nsync. But if I had to decide based just on singing abilities, then Brian would take it. But America decides and it's not always just based on talent. A lot of things play into their decision- who is more likeable, who is more attractive, who can entertain better, who is most consistent, etc. So, after thinking about it long and hard(not really) the winner is...drumroll please.....Justin Timberlake. Brian has a great voice but I think Justin would be the better entertainer. He's also better looking. I didn't base my decision on the fact that Justin has already made it as a solo artist. If everyone was unknown at the beginning of the show, I still think he would win. Ultimately, I'd be happy with either decision.

So there you have it. "American Idol: Boy Bands Edition".
