    Pickler is such a lovely person inside and out. Everyone should have a faithful friend who would stand at the gap for you.

    Lea Michele (Rachel in Glee) and Darren Criss (Blaine in Glee) are great in duets in Glee… Would love to see Darren having a duet with Naya (Santana) or even – forgot the actress’s name -Marley… but I guess they want to have Blaine go more into Bromances…. e.g. already a duet with Finn and another one with Finn coming up…

    Kellie still looks cute with short hair.

    I know it’s from the movie Once and it won Oscar, but the song always reminds me of Kris. I dunno if i am right … But perhaps the song became more famous because of Kris … in my mind anyway ?

    Nice mention of Adam on The Office TV Show (UK). Cool, they assumed viewers must knew him that well that they didn’t have to explain who the heck he was. Awww, my snowflake is a stahhhh…  http://www.youtube.com/watch?feature=player_embedded&v=OVRwn478Yk8

    Falling Slowly was also nominated for a Grammy before it won the Oscar. It also peaked at #2 on the Canadian Hot 100 and also peaked at #61 on the US hot 100. All of that happened prior to the Idol performance by Kris.

    I guess those British people  remember him as the temporary frontman of the British Rock group Queen.

    It looks like it was the UK Glamberts who posted the video snippet, but it’s actually from the US version of The Office.  The British version ended several years ago.

    I finally heard CaseyJ’s “Crying on a Suitcase” on my local radio, but it was played on a non-monitored station.  However, it was part of the syndicated show “The Big Time with Whitney Allen,” so the song will get a spin in multiple markets.  I just don’t know how many of those markets are monitored.  I suspect only a fraction of the total.  Still, a spin is a spin.  The song sounded great on the radio and fit in well with the other songs being played.  And Whitney made a favorable comment about the song.  Go CaseyJ! 

  • Axxxel

    ooh ok , there goes my theory  :-(  … Thank you for the reminder though Montavilla.

    Saw the Nashville Special on 20/20. Loved Reba’s segment. She mentioned Kelly dating her stepson, Brandon. She said, “I just love to see them
    together. They are just still so giddy, in love. They’re meant to be.” So CUTE!

    It was a sweet thing Kellie did for her friend. But I gotta be honest in  that pic she’s wearing way to much make-up her face and body are to different colors. It’s hard to focus on her hair but I think it works.

    You mean the Taylor Swift special?  ;)  I enjoyed Reba’s segment too and was very surprised when that Kelly bit popped up.  On a sidenote, everyone says Brandon looks just like his dad and I’ve always thought he sorta did but seeing that younger picture of Narvel when he was in Reba’s band next to the one they showed of Brandon and Kelly… wow, spitting image.  lol

    Carrie’s segment turned out to be a non-event which also surprised me.
