I think a lot of her songs are amazing! I especially love "Unbelievable." That's a big hit. "Dead but Breathing," "Thinking Out Loud," and "Comeback" are pretty awesome too, imo.

Huh is a common name among Koreans. That was an awesome story. Thanks for sharing it, Cruz. I watched E! News tonight just before American Idol. They played a clip of Archie's ALTNOY video right at the end of the show. Ryan Seacrest himself introduced it. He even made a little joke, saying that it rained when they shot his video. But we all know it wasn't real rain. That's great promotional exposure for ALTNOY!! ^^ I’m guessing Huh must be of oriental heritage. Huh is a common name among Koreans. That was an awesome story.

Her recap was very moving (and I think she did another post with video her husband took). And it seemed DA really connected with her.
