Song Of The Day

Today's song of the day is Keeps Getting Better by Christina Aguilera. Talking about Demi Lovato reminding me of Christina actually reminded me of her performance at the 2008 VMAs. I must say that out of all of the performances, her's was one of my favorites. I loved the whole super hero theme and the song was just amazing. It's extremely catchy and upbeat. I also love that in her performance at the VMAs, she did this remix of her old song, Genie in a bottle. I just really loved that version of it and actually prefer it to her original version.

So for this video, I tried my best to find a good version of her performance, but if it's not to your liking then I'm sure there are other versions somewhere on youtube. So please enjoy! Tell me what you think about it.

Song of the Day

On the line by Demi Lovato ft. The Jonas Brothers is today's song of the day! This song is on Demi Lovato's latest cd called Don't Forget. It's only been released for about a week now, but when I heard this song I thought, "I really need to go get myself a copy of her album!" Now I have to say that I am a bit biased considering I'm a crazy Jonas Brothers fan, but let me just say that not only the song is great, but Demi's voice is amazing as well. I'm so serious. You should listen to that girl sing. She kind of reminds me of Christina Aguilera because she's like this little person with a huge voice. The song is a really sweet song about a relationship that used to be really sweet and beautiful but somewhere along the way something happened. The good news is that the relationship is on the mend, or rather on a break, but I don't know, I still think it's a cute and sweet song. So check it out and tell me what you think!

Song of the Day

Dear Vienna by Owl City, is today's song of the day! (btw, I know it's more like the song of every other day, but honestly I'm just busy and I try my best.) Owl City has a unique sound to his music. It's kind of a mix of techno with smooth modern beats. The song Dear Vienna especially displays this, and I think that the lyrics are catchy because it's very repetitive. If you like this song, I suggest that you check out Owl City's other songs including Salt Water Room and Hello Seattle. As usual, take a listen and tell me what you think.

Song of the day

Tokio Hotel's Don't Jump is today's song of the day. Tokio Hotel is a rock group from Germany that just recently have become famous here in the states. I've loved them way before they arrived here and am so glad that I can share their music with you. This song, Don't Jump, was rumored to be written about someone who has given up on life and believes that the only way out is to committ suicide. So the message behind this song is, not to give up and not to lose hope or faith because once you make that leap, there's no turning back and you would be leaving behind all of these people who care about you even if you don't think that they care. And just not to lose yourself, as is demonstrated in the music video. Note: The music video is actually shot in German, but this video shows it dubbed with the english version of the song. The german version is called Spring Nicht. So enjoy! And remember to comment me with any thoughts about it.

Song of the Day

Something That I Already Know by the BackStreet Boys is today's Song. This is a new song on the BSB's new album. I love how meaningful the lyrics are. Basically it's about a relationship that has gone down the wrong path, but the two people involved are too scared to break off their relationship even though they both know that it's been over. I can personally relate to this song, because I've kind of been in that situation before and I know how hard it is to face the truth. Anyway, take a listen, tell me what you think. Whether or not you can relate. And if you like this song I highly recommend that you check out their other songs as well. They are truly all amazing.

Caribbean Cruising by Rachel Hawthorne


Lindsay is 18 years old, on a ten day cruise to the Caribbeans, and has a plan to make it the best vacation she's ever been on. She's even made a list of all the things she's wanted to do but has never done before. Things like: shopping until she drops, drinking strawberry margaritas, kissing cute boys, and even to sleep with a guy for the first time. Her plans seemed promising until she met Ryan, her stepfather's godson. Although Lindsay finds Ryan attractive, she can't help but push him away because she feels like he'll just get in the way of her plans. But when Ryan doesn't go, Lindsay finds it hard to resist the temptation. Will Lindsay accept her feelings in the end? Or will she hold fast and stick to her plans? Read Caribbean Cruising to find out!

Caribbean Cruising was an amazing book! I would have to give it a 10/10. I found that the story was believable and I was hooked by the very first chapter. The details and experiences in the book were so vivid and in depth that I felt as if I was actually there with the characters themselves. When they climbed a waterfall, I felt as if I was climbing a waterfall. I loved the interaction between Lindsay, Ryan, and the many guys that they meet along the way. I was really hoping that Ryan and Lindsay would get together, but each time she would be stubborn and I would be frustrated because of that. Caribbean Cruising was a fun book to read and I highly recommend this book. It's short and sweet and will keep you thinking about it long after you've finished reading. If you've read other books written by Rachel Hawthorne, I suggest that you check this book out. Just like her other books this one is filled with fun romance. And if you haven't read her other books then I highly suggest that you pick one up today. I promise you won't regret it!

Song of the Day

Today's song is by Taylor Swift and is called Love Story. I love the lyrics in this song. It's kind of a story in itself and I think it would make a great plot for a book. (Although the lyrics were written based on great books like, Romeo and Juliet, The Scarlet Letter, and the video has a Pride and Prejudice feel to it.) The second thing I love about Love Story doesn't have to do with the song itself, but the music video. For one, the outfits are amazing. I totally love Taylor's dress. For another, the leading guy is kinda cute, don't you think? And again, I totally love the Pride and Prejudice kind of feel to the video where the couples are dancing in the ball room (totally adorable). So yeah, take a listen and tell me what you think. Likes? Dislikes? Anything at all.

Song of the Day

The Song of the day today is Wish You The Worst by Katy Perry. This song was originally written for her newest cd, but didn't make the cut onto the album itself. I personally love this song. I think that it's spiteful and kind of manipulative, but that's the very same reason why I love it. So what do you think? Take a listen and don't hesitate to comment on how you feel about it.
