A very powerful song that cuts to the core. A song about her own father leaving his family behind and showing back up once she became successful. How she’ll never do what he did to her own little girl and how she’s lucky to find a significant other that is the opposite of that. Below is her performance on America Idol. You can see how her words resonated with people in the audience.

Piece by piece I fell far from the tree
I would never leave her like you left me
She will never have to wonder her worth
Because unlike you I’m gonna put her first
He’ll never walk away
He’ll never break her heart
He’ll take care of things
He’ll love her
Piece by piece
He restored my faith
That a man can be kind
And a father should be great

I think Sammy showed me this a long while back and it’s stayed one of my favourites because just look at that skill …

Happy Sunday, loves!

Trey just showed me this song tonight and I realized I haven’t posted today so I thought I’d stop what we’re doing and share. It’s a sad song, but a sweet, sad song. I’m usually a hater of songs that repeat the same lines over and over again but I ended up loving it. “I wasn’t expecting that …” Get it? haha

Hope you’re all having a great Valentine’s weekend. 🙂

Currently listening to these two lovebirds’ album. I wish I had a person to sing with. I love when two voices work perfectly together.

Grease Live!

Did anyone tune in Sunday night? I totally forgot since I was busy with some personal things. And I only remembered because Jose mentioned it on his Facebook and it popped up on my news feed! Grease is one of my favourite movies so you can assume I was bummed I missed it!

After a little research, I found out you can stream on platforms like Hulu and On Demand! Lucky me for I was already planning to go to Sissy’s after work yesterday and they have On Demand! So it was a Grease + Chinese delivery kind of dinner night.

Not many people know I named my puppy Rizzo after the movie’s character, Betty Rizzo. I get my puppy is a boy and the character is a girl but I just really liked the name and she was my favourite character in the movie. If I get to adopt another, hopefully a girl, I’ll name her Zuko and possibly change the spelling to Zucco but who knows.

Speaking of Rizzo, Vanessa Hudgens’ did a great job in portraying her when it came to singing. By now, everyone’s heard about her dad passing away recently before. She was such a professional and was very strong to follow throughout. I was actually a little afraid of hating this remake because if she failed as Rizzo, it would of ruined it. I will say her acting is still … meh.

Julianne Hough (Sandy Olsson) did great. She had the innocent voice down pat. I secretly have a girl crush on her. She seems to be able to do it all, sing, act, dance …. As for Aaron Tveit (Danny Zuko), I would say they could of cast a better Zuko. It took me a long time to figure out he was in Les Miserables which fit him better. The cast was a pretty good pick of well known people and I love seeing them all together.

I was not a big fan of all the changes they made. The moved songs around and added songs. Just ugh, no. I wouldn’t say I hate it, but I didn’t love it as much as I’d hoped.

Maybe they’ll make more Live! musicals but don’t change up so much. I remember watching Sound of Music with Carrie Underwood which I actually loved. But then again i never watched that movie before so I didn’t have much to say about the differences.

What’s next? I’m ready.
