I'm Back

Ok so I know it's been a few days! I had a computer crisis. On Saturday night I turned off my computer and then on Sunday when I turned it back on, I was unable to sign on to the internet. I thought something major was wrong with my computer. Come to find out it was only the Norton Internet Security and the ResNet connection at OSU don't mix well so it was blocking me from accessing the internet. It's all good now cause I am back!

Well classes are kicking into gear. I am glad the work load hasn't been as hectic as last quarter. At this time I had already written a paper for about every class and more than likely was working on my second or third one for the class. I definitely don't miss that. I think my favorite class this quarter has to be my business law class. The professor is pretty entertaining and he keeps the class interesting. The only downside is the fact that we have to have a quiz each class meeting, but it helps me remember a lot of the stuff we have talked about.

So American Idol has begun again. I definitely enjoy the audition process. The last couple of seasons that's the only part I have watched of the show until about the last two weeks of the show. Simon, Randy and Paula have all gotten a lot meanier and I am enjoying it. Of course Simon was very over the top with his comments, but you gotta love him for being brutally honest! So far though I have yet to see anyone spectaular. All the singers have pretty much been mediocre. I wish we could see someone like Frenchie(remember her from season 2 auditions) come in and just blow the judges away so much that you know she could win hands down.(I know she didn't get the chance to go through the whole competition) A friend and myself were talking about Frenchie and how we don't think there has ever been another person who has been so good in their audition that you know hands down they will win. I am positive I will quit watching American Idol once the audtions are over, so until then I will be glued to the TV every Tuesday and Wednesday watching Americans make a fool of themselves!

I got an email a couple weeks ago spotlighting the Top 10 Artists to look out for in 2006. Here they are and some of my own comments

10. Letoya Luckett...yes this is the Letoya from the original Destiny's Child. I think she has the potential to be big. I am sure most will compare her to Beyonce, but Beyonce ain't got nothing on her looks. Letoya was definitley the best looking member of the original Destiny's Child. I really hope she has some success in '06.
9. Little Brother...dont' know anything about them so moving on
8. Ne-Yo...I hear this guy is pretty good, but I don't think I have heard any of his music. Well good luck to him in '06.
7. Jennifer Hudson...yes this is the Jennifer Hudson from American Idol season 3. She definitley can blow, and plus she will be in the Dreamgirls movie next year. It's nice to see another African-American contestant from American Idol(besides the winners of 2 and 3) doing something.
6. Shanice...yes this is the Shanice that hasn't released a hit in a long time. I really like her song "When I Close My Eyes" That is definitely a classic song and she is a talented singer so I can't wait to see what she is going to be releasing.
5. Whitney Houston...yes the lady who is infamous for coining the phrase "Hell to da NAW!" is supposed to be releasing a new album. I just don't know if she has gotten herself together, but if she has then more power to her.
4. Mary J. Blige...I really love her "Be Without You" song. If her next single is any good then I will purchase her CD. I have actually heard mixed reviews regarding her CD. Mary is definitely the queen of Hip Hop and R&B.
3. The Fugees...I can't wait for them. I remember this group when I was so young. This is a much anticipated reunion of one of the best Hip Hop groups ever.
2. Kelly Rowland...Yes my girl. She is my favorite member of Destiny's Child. I hope and pray that she just sticks to the Hip Hop and R&B this album. I am looking forward to her upcoming album.
1. Janet Jackson...She has an album coming out. She has already done enough. In my opinion she doesn't have much to prove.


Well good luck to all those artists in '06, until next time it's America's Nightmare...
