<br />
<strong>This week is tobyMac week on iTunes. It has listed his favorite movies (which include <em>Finding Nemo, The Lord of the Rings, </em>etc.) and his favorite music. I'm skeptical that iTunes actually asks the artist those questions. And this is NOT just from looking at tobyMac's faves. (I highly, HIGHLY doubt he likes Taylor Swift.) They just do it to get more money, in my opinion. Am I right or wrong?</strong><br />
<br />
<strong>To add on to this, <em>Tonight Deluxe Edition </em>has peaked at number 2 on iTunes! Congratulations!</strong>Michelle Bhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/10669310336065315392noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8403879219854968526.post-64926312423627636982010-02-08T13:31:00.000-05:002010-02-08T13:31:09.420-05:00tobyMac "Funky Jesus Music"Lyrics and audio for <em>Funky Jesus Music.</em><br />

<pre><span>Tobymac - Tonight lyrics</span>
Hey!
Everytime I try to go in alone I get shut down,
Locked up and held captive in the clutches of my down
We go back, we go forth,
We go back
I'm sick with vertigo
Weary of my ways, my days
My lips are frozen
I wanna feel a new day
[There's gotta be more than this]
I wanna live a new way
[There's gotta be more]
I wanna feel a new day
[There's gotta be more]
I wanna live a new way
[There's just gotta be more]
Right here, right now
Under the stars, I promise you my heart
Cause it starts tonight!
We wanna rise,
We wanna touch the other side
[It starts tonight! ]
We wanna soar
We wanna reach right out for more
[Cause it starts tonight! ]
We wanna rise,
We wanna touch the other side
[It starts tonight]
We wanna soar,
We wanna reach right out for more
[Cause it starts tonight]
Tonight tonight
Tonight tonight tonight
Tonight
Can't feel like any night before
Under the sky full of stars
With hearts that want more
[Tonight]
Like the rhythm no dam can hold
Bein' drivin by a source overflowin our souls
[Tonight]
Won't be like any night we have seen
It changes everything [e-e-e-e-everything]
Right here right now
Under the stars
I promise you my heart
Cause it starts tonight!
We wanna rise
We wanna touch the other side
[It start tonight! ]
We wanna soar
We wanna reach right out for more,
[Cause it starts tonight! ]
We wanna rise,
We wanna touch the other side
[It starts tonight]
We wanna soar,
We wanna reach right out for more
[Cause it starts tonight! ]
Tonight tonight
Tonight tonight tonight
Tonight
So let us seize this night
Let us make off great
It's on like the break of dawn
So let us seize this night
Let us make our flight
It's on like the break of dawn
Tonight
Tonight
[Cause it starts tonight!...
Cause it starts tonight! ]
I wanna feel a new day
I wanna live a new way
[It starts tonight]
I wanna feel a new day
I wanna live a new way
[We don't wanna fall tonight! ]
We wanna rise
We wanna touch the other side
[We wanna shine tonight! ]
We wanna soar
We wanna reach right out for more
[We don't wanna fall tonight]
We wanna rise
We wanna touch the other side
[We wanna shine tonight! ]
We wanna soar,
We wanna reach right out for more
[We don't wanna fall tonight]
Tonight tonight
[We wanna shine tonight! ]
Tonight tonight
Cause it starts tonight!

Yeah, this is the day we came to get down,
We came to play the game in your town
You came to ride the highs of this junk
Baby, we came to guarantee the big crunk
So if you or your people ever wanna doubt
This showstoppin' party rockin'
Tell 'em all about this
Truth from the village of the diverse citizens
One stop one shot
Livin like a kid again
So turn off the lights
They've been waitin' all night
For the,
The showstopper
The jaw dropper
The big papa
We gonna get it, get it right
We gonna get it done
The showstopper
The jaw dropper
The big papa
We gonna get it right
We gonna get it done
Hope just broke right through the door
So why you gotta ask what I came here for
Man we 'bout to light the night with that flare
Job from the gun in the hand of the spare
With the kick so hard that you gotta be strong
It's so hottah
You can barely hold on
So rock me drop me
But you will never stop me
From takin' this show to a full room of monopoly
So turn off the lights
Pass me the mic
Bring on the lights,
You been waitin all night
For the
The show stopper
The jaw dropper
The big papa
We gonna get it, get it right
We gonna get it done

We gonna get it we gonna get it done

<pre>Tobymac - Get Back Up lyrics
You turned away when I looked you in the eye,
And hesitated when I asked if you were alright,
Seems like you're fighting for your life,
But why? oh why?
Wide awake in the middle of your nightmare,
You saw it comin' but it hit you outta no where,
And there's always scars
When you fall that far
We lose our way,
We get back up again
It's never too late to get back up again,
One day you gonna shine again,
You may be knocked down,
But not out forever,
Lose our way,
We get back up again,
So get up, get up,
You gonna shine again,
Never too late to get back up again,
You may be knocked down,
But not out forever
[May be knocked down but not out forever]
You rolled out at the dawning of the day
Heart racin' as you made you little get away,
It feels like you've been runnin' all your life
But, why? Oh why?
So you've pulled away from the love that wou'd've been there,
You start believin' that your situation's unfair
But there's always scars,
When you fall that far
We lose our way,
We get back up again
Never too late to get back up again,
One day, you gonna shine again,
You may be knocked down but not out forever,
Lose our way, we get back up again,
So get up, get up
You gonna shine again
It's never too late, to get back up again
You may be knocked down, but not out forever,
May be knocked down, but not out forever!
This is love callin', love callin', out to the broken,
This is love callin'.
This is love callin', love callin', out to the broken
This is love callin'.
This is love callin', love callin',
I am so broken
This is love callin' love callin
Lose our way, [way way way ay ay ay]
We get back up, [get back up again]
It's never too late [late late late ate ate ate]
You may be knocked down but not out forever!
Lose our way,
We get back up again,
So get up get up
You gonna shine again
Never too late to get back up again
You may be knocked down,
But not out forever,
This is love [lose our way] callin' love callin' [get back up again]
To the broken
This is love [never too late] callin'
[May be knocked down but not out forever]
This is love [lose our way] callin' love callin' [we get back up again]
To the broken
This is love [never too late] callin'
[May be knocked down but not out forever]
This is love callin' love callin'
Out to the broken,
This is love callin'...

<br />
<a name='more'></a><br />
Miranda Leigh Lambert (born November 10, 1983)[2] is an American country music artist who gained fame as a finalist on the 2003 season of Nashville Star, where she finished in third place and later signed to Epic Records. Lambert made her debut with the release of "Me and Charlie Talking", the first single from her 2005 debut album Kerosene. This album, which was certified Platinum in the United States, also produced the singles "Bring Me Down", "Kerosene", and "New Strings". All four singles were Top 40 hits on the Billboard Hot Country Songs charts.<br />
<br />
<br />
<br />
<br />
After the closure of Epic's Nashville division, Lambert was transferred to Columbia Records Nashville for her second album, Crazy Ex-Girlfriend, which was released in early 2007. Although the title track failed to make top 40, the next three singles ("Famous in a Small Town", "Gunpowder & Lead", and "More Like Her") were all Top 20 hits, with "Gunpowder & Lead" becoming her first Top 10 country hit in July 2008.<br />
<br />
<br />
<br />
Lambert is only the third female country singer in history to have three records debut at #1 on Billboard Country Albums.Michelle Bhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/10669310336065315392noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8403879219854968526.post-51955759450682602172010-02-08T10:29:00.001-05:002010-02-08T10:35:30.137-05:00Music Video Of The WeekThe music video of the week this week is <em>Halo </em>by Beyonce.<br />

I don't think it was horrible. It wasn't the best though. Her vocals sound like they've always been lately. I'm really looking forward to another song, or for her music to be like they were in the old days.

<span style="font-size: large;"><strong>Carrie Underwood sang our National Anthem wonderfully last night, live at the SuperBowl. I don't know why people are saying she missed the last note and making fun of her for it. Number one, she hit every note perfectly. Number two, she's under a lot of pressure, singing at the SUPERBOWL in front of ALL AMERICA LIVE! Wouldn't you be nervous if you sang in front of America? Go to <a href="http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=5OR4A3nJXN4">this link</a> and read the nasty comments about her performance.</strong></span>Michelle Bhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/10669310336065315392noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8403879219854968526.post-71769509386510906022010-02-08T09:55:00.001-05:002010-02-08T10:12:53.986-05:00Congratulations New Orleans Saints!<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="http://static.guim.co.uk/sys-images/Sport/Pix/pictures/2010/2/8/1265599392628/Super-Bowl-XLIV-001.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="192" kt="true" src="http://static.guim.co.uk/sys-images/Sport/Pix/pictures/2010/2/8/1265599392628/Super-Bowl-XLIV-001.jpg" width="320" /></a></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><br />

</div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">Pictured is Taylor Swift wearing a beautiful Kaufman Franco dress with Lorraine Schwartz jewelry and Christian Louboutin shoes. She won Album of the Year and Best Country Album for Fearless, and Best Female Country Vocal Performance and Best Country Song for White Horse. With her Album of the Year win, she became the youngest person to receive that award. She was also nominated for Record of the Year, Song of the Year, and Best Female Pop Vocal Performance for You Belong With Me. Breathe, with Colbie Caillat, was nominated for Best Pop Collaboration of Vocals (ironically went to another collaboration of Colbie's). In my musical opinion, she did not deserve any of the nominations or awards she received. There are other pieces of music and other artists who are much more talented that deserve it more than her.</div>Michelle Bhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/10669310336065315392noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8403879219854968526.post-89456481314872958902010-02-03T11:17:00.001-05:002010-02-08T08:27:26.470-05:00Red Carpet: Beyoncé<div style="border-bottom: medium none; border-left: medium none; border-right: medium none; border-top: medium none;"><br />

Of course, I watched it. And boy, they got it ALL WRONG! Let's start off with general.</span></strong><br />
<a name='more'></a><strong><span style="color: purple; font-family: Verdana; font-size: large;"></span></strong><br />
<ol><li><span style="color: magenta; font-family: Verdana;">Record Of The Year went to "Use Somebody" by Kings of Leon. "Halo" by Beyonce should've won.</span></li>
<li><span style="color: magenta; font-family: Verdana;">Taylor Swift has not deserved ANY rewards or nominations she has received throughout her career, be it a CMA Award or much less a Grammy. She ended up stealing Album of the Year away from Beyonce and "I Am...Sasha Fierce.</span></li>
<li><span style="color: magenta; font-family: Verdana;">Thankfully, Beyonce won Song of the Year with "Single Ladies". It's not my fave Beyonce song but it's certainly better than any of the other nominees. (To be honest, I thought "Poker Face" was going to win.)</span></li>
<li><span style="color: magenta; font-family: Verdana;">I'm glad Zac Brown Band won Best New Artist.</span></li>
</ol><br />
<span style="color: lime; font-family: Verdana; font-size: large;">Pop (This Should Be Interesting)</span><br />
<ol><li><span style="color: lime; font-family: Verdana;">Thank God "Halo" (my fave Beyonce song and one of my all-time faves) won Best Female Pop Vocal Performance. Certainly much better than "You Belong With Me".</span></li>
<li><span style="color: lime; font-family: Verdana;">I don't really care for any male pop vocalists, but I hoped Stevie Wonder would win. Of course he lost to Jason Mraz.</span></li>
<li><span style="color: lime; font-family: Verdana;">I figured the Black Eyed Peas would win this one (and they did). I wasn't really routin' for any of them though.</span></li>
<li><span style="color: lime; font-family: Verdana;">The best vocalist of all them is probably Colbie Caillat, and I hate Taylor Swift, (yes, I hate Jason M. too, but he's better than Taylor) so I hoped "Lucky" would win, and it did.</span></li>
<li><span style="color: lime; font-family: Verdana;">(Skipping intrumental). I figured The E.N.D. would win, which they did. Although I'm not a gigantic Kelly Clarkson fan, I was hoping she'd win.</span></li>
</ol><br />
<span style="color: cyan; font-family: Verdana; font-size: large;">Dance</span><br />
<ol><li><span style="color: cyan; font-family: Verdana;">I knew Lady Gaga would win "Best Dance Recording" with Poker Face and Best Electronic/Dance Album with "The Fame. I didn't really know who to cheer for, since I barely listen to the genre, but I don't really like Lady Gaga that much.</span></li>
</ol><span style="color: red; font-family: Verdana; font-size: large;">Rock</span><br />
<ol><li><span style="color: red; font-family: Verdana;">I don't really like rock, so I don't really have opinions. Bruce Springspreen won Best Rock Solo Vocal Performance, Kings of Leon won Best Rock Song and Best Rock Performance by a Duo/Group w/ vocals, AC/DC won Best Hard Rock Performance, Judas Priest won Best Metal Performance, and Jeff Beck won Best Rock Instrumental Performance (I was cheering for Brad Paisley). Green Day won Best Rock Album.</span></li>
</ol><br />
<span style="color: #741b47; font-family: Verdana; font-size: large;">R&B (My Third Favorite)</span><br />
<ol><li><span style="color: #741b47; font-family: Verdana;">Beyonce won Best Female R&B Vocal Performance with Single Ladies. :D!!! Yay!!!</span></li>
<li><span style="color: #741b47; font-family: Verdana;">Maxwell won Best Male R&B Vocal Performance with Pretty Wings. :)</span></li>
<li><span style="color: #741b47; font-family: Verdana;">"Blame It" won Best R&B Performnce by a duo/group with vocals. </span></li>
<li><span style="color: #741b47; font-family: Verdana;">"At Last" By Beyonce won Best Traditional R&B Performance. I think that was a good choice.</span></li>
<li><span style="color: #741b47; font-family: Verdana;">India.Arie won this one. I wasn't too sure who I wanted to win Best Urban/Alternative Performance.</span></li>
<li><span style="color: #741b47; font-family: Verdana;">"Single Ladies" by Beyonce won Best R&B Song. Now put your hands up!!!</span></li>
<li><span style="color: #741b47; font-family: Verdana;">Best R&B Album was given to Maxwell. Not a bad choice.</span></li>
<li><span style="color: #741b47; font-family: Verdana;">Thankfully "I Am...Sasha Fierce" took Best Contemporary R&B Album. I was so happy by then I was jumping up and down on my couch. (Of course my friends who I invited over were doing it with me.)</span></li>
</ol><br />
<strong><span style="color: #0b5394; font-family: Verdana; font-size: large;">Country (My Favorite)</span></strong><br />
<ol><li><strong><span style="color: #0b5394; font-family: Verdana;">Of course, they had to go and ruin the ride by giving Best Female Country Vocal Performance to "White Horse" by Taylor Swift. "Just A Dream" [by Carrie Underwood] is SO much better! And Taylor Swift isn't even country! I am so mad!</span></strong></li>
<li><strong><span style="color: #0b5394; font-family: Verdana;">Keith Urban won Best Male Country Vocal Performance with "Sweet Thing". I think that was a good choice.</span></strong></li>
<li><strong><span style="color: #0b5394; font-family: Verdana;">I've been voting for Lady Antebellum to win all these different awards, and I never even listened to them. When I did, I was surprised at how good they were! I'm glad "I Run To You" took Best Country Performance by a Duo/Group With Vocals.</span></strong></li>
<li><strong><span style="color: #0b5394; font-family: Verdana;">If I Told You So (Carrie & Randy Travis) didn't win Best Country Collaboration of Vocals, you don't wanna know what I would've done! But thankfully they did, so I was temporarily relieved.</span></strong></li>
<li><strong><span style="color: #0b5394; font-family: Verdana;">"Producer's Medley" by Steve Wariner won Best Country Intrumental Performance. I liked all of the nominees, so it didn't really matter to me who won.</span></strong></li>
<li><strong><span style="color: #0b5394; font-family: Verdana;">When they announced Taylor Swift won Best Country Song [with White Horse] and Best Country Album [with Fearless], I literally threw up and hit the TV screen. What were they thinking!!! I Run To You should've got Best Country Song, and Defying Gravity should've won Best Country Album.</span></strong></li>
</ol><br />
<strong><span style="color: #bf9000; font-family: Verdana; font-size: large;">Gospel (My Second Favorite)</span></strong><br />
<ul><li><strong><span style="color: #bf9000; font-family: Verdana; font-size: large;">Before I start commenting on the individual awards, let me just say they don't really consider the best or most popular/fan's favorite. They don't really care who wins these awards.</span></strong></li>
</ul><br />
<ol><li><strong><span style="color: #bf9000; font-family: Verdana;">When I heard "Free To Be Me" by Francesca Battistelli was up for Best Gospel Performance, I knew it would win. But it lost to Wait On the Lord by Donnie McClurkin?! I never even heard of the song or the artist before they announced the nominees. And I know all the contemporary Christian/Gospel artists and songs out there. "Free To Be Me" or Born Again" by Third Day should've won.</span></strong></li>
<li><strong><span style="color: #bf9000; font-family: Verdana;">Again, the nominating comittee doesn't really care about this genre, because if they had, "City On Our Knees" by tobyMac would've won Best Gospel Snog, not "God In Me" by Mary Mary.</span></strong></li>
<li><strong><span style="color: #bf9000; font-family: Verdana;">This is the only one they got right in the genre. Live Revelations by Third Day took Best Rock or Rap Gospel album.</span></strong></li>
<li><strong><span style="color: #bf9000; font-family: Verdana;">Best Pop/Contemporary Gospel Album went to Israel Houghton with "The Power Of One". "Speaking Louder Than Before" by Jeremy Camp is so much better!</span></strong></li>
</ol><br />
<strong><span style="color: purple; font-family: Verdana; font-size: large;">I couldn't watch any more after that, I was so disgusted.</span></strong><br />
<br />
<strong><span style="color: purple; font-family: Verdana; font-size: large;">There were some genres I didn't watch, so I didn't comment on them. Well, what do you think? Am I right or totally crazy? Please comment.</span></strong>Michelle Bhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/10669310336065315392noreply@blogger.com0
