Get a room, Hollywood.

Phillip Phillips makes me go for the remote. There are people who think he’s all mellow, etc. Yeah, but his songs put me to sleep and then I miss the rest of the show.

[floriduh voter]

floriduh voter sings at 6795. (I think that’s the link)

[floriduh voter]

Oops. FB sings at post 6975 not 6795. Free country - watch my you tube or don’t. This is the greatest thread at FR. bye, FV

[floriduh voter]

Freepers helped bring my views up at you tube. Changing the title to the full name of the song didn't hurt either. I think I'll be at 500 hits this weekend.

This is so much easier than getting ready, loading the car, setting up and tear down.

I'm lvg my singin' frenemies in the dust over there. lol

I really like Hollie. She could easily have a fragrance line, a mattel doll, do commercials or whatever. She can sing but she’s kind of like Kelly Ripa but isn’t as skinny and she can sing. Kelly Ripa imo is too thin. She looks like she has an eating disorder to me. Ya think? TV adds pounds and Kelly Ripa looks emaciated.

Onward and upward.

Thanks for sharing the link.

I really like Hollie.

Hollie and Skylar are our favorites.

LOL on your Kelly R descriptors.....

[Netizen]

Think I saw a commercial saying that this week it is Songs from Queen. Why? They do Queen every year. There are a lot of other bands out there. Why do they always do Queen?

[dfwgator]

Just once I want them to see them do “The Sex Pistols”, let’s see how these folks can handle doing “Anarchy in the UK”.

[floriduh voter]

Skylar is aa ball of fire and rocks country music and Hollie is fun and has a great voice. someone from facebook likes PP. I don’t like PP. His songs are boring...

[floriduh voter]

Last check: 503 hits at the tube. I think I'm gonna do My Boyfriend's Back next or In My Life from the Beatles with a country feel. I have a recreated village/park here full of old buildings and a gazebo. If we get permission from them, I would love to you tube at a recreated town 30s,40s era. Luv to film leaning at the gazebo or standing in it.

FR has ckd it out. I appreciate that a lot.

I do not like over singing and I luv to fall off of notes on purpose but I'm never pitchy, dog.

Agree on your take on Hollie and Skylar

PP can sing , and is entertaining in his

Reminds us of a non epileptic young Joe Cocker... LOL

[floriduh voter]

Yeah, maybe it’s his name that bothers me. He sounds like a laxative or something. Try Phillips Phillips of Magnesia.

Earlier this week, Republican presidential hopeful Mitt Romney was involved in a confrontation on a flight from Vancouver to Los Angeles. His alleged assailant? Sky Blu of the electro-rap duo LMFAO, the pourers of "Shots." According to new reports, Sky Blu had the audacity to lower his seat back prior to the flight's takeoff, which caused Romney, who was sitting behind the rapper, to loudly request that he straighten his first class seat.

From there, tensions escalated, and Romney's spokesperson told the press Sky Blu became "physically violent," the New York Daily News reports, leading the Royal Canadian Mounted Police to remove Sky Blu from the plane. In a video posted on TMZ, Sky Blu and his Party Rock accomplice Redfoo talk about their run-in with Romney, and Sky Blu insists Romney became physical first. "He grabbed my shoulder, and I was like boom get off of me," Sky Blu said. "The man assaulted me. I was protecting myself."

In the end, Romney did not pursue charges, and even though the police said they arrested and released Sky Blu, the MC claims he was never actually placed under arrest. Romney and his wife were in Vancouver for the Winter Olympics while LMFAO had a concert in the British Columbian city the night before.

Ironically, while this all went down in Vancouver, the encounter has strong ties to the city of Detroit: Even though Romney is the former Governor of Massachusetts, he was born in the Motor City, a pedigree that helped him win the Michigan Republican primary over John McCain in 2008. Sky Blu and Redfoo, meanwhile, are the nephew and son of Motown Records founder Berry Gordy, one of Detroit's most important musical figures.* Since Sky Blu seemed willing to forgive Romney for the encounter — "I'm sure he's a good dude. It was just an unfortunate situation," he said — maybe they can go to a Tigers game and hug it out.

* Well that solves the mystery of how these no-talents got a recording contract.
