Musical Diversity


I write this while slightly delirious. Have put in 42 hour in 3 days and am starting to drag a little. Thank goodness for Starbucks! Seriously, that is my nutritional staple as of late. Its all worth it...at least that is what I am telling myself!

Ive decided how much I like Carrie Underwood. It seems as though women in country music are trying to find their unique identity among a sea of performers. For example, Grethen Wilsom is the redneck woman, Martina is angelic both vocally and in her tear-jerking/thought-provoking song choices, and we all know Miranda Lambert is a cigarette smoking boyfriend killer. Now, these are obviously not personal reflections of the artists, rather there "character" in the biz. It seems as though Carrie Underwood hit the scene and quickly was adored as this beautiful young reality show graduate who wasnt scared to sing about jesus. I mean, just looking at her you cant help but say "awwwww!" Just when you thought her halo coulnt shine any brighter she blindsides you with a song about destroying a mans car for cheating wtih a white trash skank. ZING! Where the heck did that come from? You couldnt help but see her in a different light. And then after polishing off her wings she flew straight back up into good graces with her flawless rendition of "how great thou art!" Whoa! But dont get too comfortable with her "All American Girl" Image because now she is getting drunk and married in vegas with a guy whos "Last Name" still remains a mystery (not literally, songatively). She is like the "Alias" of country music. Each single is like a new episode and you never know what character she is going to play! Kudos to her people for their amazing choices in song selection and for keeping fans guessing. And a special congrats to her hair stylist...her extensions are absolutely fabulous. Seriously, look at that picture. Have you ever seen anyone with more perfect hair?

Jerry Seinfeld comedy show tonight. Realllllly looking forward to a night off and some good laughs.
