I was inspired by my sister to get back into posting on my blog, and ignore the fact that I haven’t posted for a number of months (*ahem* 8?). I aspire to be as entertaining and emotional as my friend Patricia Sully whose blog entries I have grown to really look forward to, but really I’m just hoping to record a bit of everyday life. No pressure on brilliant writing. Let’s see how this goes.
With that said, did you catch The Sing-Off over the holidays? I watched the first season when I was in SLC for Christmas in 2009, but admit that I lost interest towards the end because I thought they were picking all the wrong groups to move forward. This year, iTunes had the first episode available for free and after I watched it I was totally hooked and paid $5 for the “Season Pass.” It’s on my mind right now because I’m actually re-watching the last couple of episodes in the background as I write this. I thought the audience was a little too eager to give standing O’s, but the groups were so great! I may or may not have downloaded some of the individual performances too like Come on Eileen and Down on the Corner by Street Corner Symphony or Landslide by The Backbeats. I was also inspired to download the original of Grace Kelly by Mikka after watching the Wiffenpoofs performance on the first episode. Now that I’m writing this I realize that I am the reason they have this show, because I am a sucker for great performances and totally go out and buy them!
