Well, what are you waiting for..???
My TT has 13 quotes by J.R.R. Tolkien.
Hmmmm. Maybe you could do a you tube video for us and post it on your blog!
Just imagining the “It’s Raining Men” on American Idol… and Simon jumping up to be a background dancer. LOL!
So are you going to try out for it?
let me know what Simon says…
Well, have you tried to get on it?
Great list! I could NEVER go on that show! Simon is just too rude! My T13 is up too!
Well lets sign you up!! That sounds like a great play list:) Happy TT.
Great list! Hope you make it
Wow, sounds like us T13ers want one of our own on the show, huh?
I admire anyone with the guts to stand up there and sing. Alone. There’s something very naked about being the only person in the spotlight.
Happy TT!
“Jungle Fever” and “Don’t Get Me Wrong” are both intriguing choices. I’d love to see both of those songs “Idolized”.
I could never do American Idol. You should go for it…then we could say we commented here before you were famous.
Happy TT!
The fact that you have a Creed Bratton song on your alternate list gets mad props.
Yeah, I’m too old to use the phrase “mad props”, but I don’t care. There are two things I’m addicted to, and they are The Office and AI. So, yeah.
Happy TT!
I loooooves American Idol
Happy TT
Maybe I’ll see you perform one of them this coming season? :o) Happy TT!
Oh girl — you’re funny. Thanks for the laugh.
I see some inspiration in those songs — will you be trying out?
Happy Thursday!
Great list. I LOVE “You’ll Never Walk Alone”. Of course, I just love musicals, period.
Happy TT!
Fun TT. I’m sure if I tried out for American Idol I would end up on TV with my horrible voice - the next William Hung. LOL
Anything Celine Dion is a bold choice, because her voice is so distinctive. I personally think they should have more show tunes (Carousel) and more 80s music.
An interesting and varied list! Can’t say they’re among my favorites, but I’d love to hear you sing any of them.
Great idea for a TT!
Okay now I am going to have Islands in the Stream stuck in mah head all day!
Why doesn’t anyone pick anything Karen Carpenter sang? I always wanted to sing like her.
Happy TT!
hi fellow tt’er! can’t wait for the new season of idol to start!
How about “Your good girl’s gonna go bad” by Tammy Wynette?
I’m all over that one. Simon’d hate it though…
Love your 13. Come stop by my place.
“I beg your pardon…I never promised you a rose garden. Along with sunshine, you gotta have a little rain sometimes…”
That will be in my head alllll day.
sounds like you need to try out for american idol — your whole blogging community is already supporting you!
happy TT!
Usually, I don’t know most of the songs that people list. The only ones I didn’t know of yours are 1, 2, 3, and 11. Thanks for the uplift.
Hi! I just came across your blog tonight through Pioneer Woman’s.
