American Idol- 8 Contestants Left

Season 10 is so interesting! After my first favorite Pia left, I'm thinking Stefano is gonna win the whole thing...what do you think? Amazing voice, amazing look...amazing, amazing, amazing! ;-) I've never really been a fan of the show, but I can't help but be glued to my television at 8pm. I mean let's face it...each of these performers are guaranteed walking record deals. Some of them may not be my favorite, but I can't deny the truth. They each bring something different and unique to the show, and I'm loving it.

Happy Birthday- A Dedication

Happy Birthday
By Chanel Danette 04/09/11

I see your face in my dreams,
speaking to me.
Singing, "hush little baby don't you cry."
I wish I could still hear the exact tone of your voice
when I wake up.

I remember you sleeping on the floor next to my bed,
and Christmas' glow on your face.
There's a recollection of memories
that I hold dear to my heart.
Such as, a handprint smaller than yours,
but nonetheless, the same handprint.

I was your little princess,
your only pride and joy.
You were the joyous king that sat on his throne
in triumph because you felt like you conquered everything.
I was everything the world had to offer,
in your eyes.
And you achieved wonders.

I miss holding your hand and giving you hugs.
Saying I love you, didn't seem like enough.
Now I wish,
that the timeframe was repeated over and over.
Living the same scenes like dejavu
just so I can spend more time with you.

The only man I could ever hold to a high standard.
My life would surely be different, if I had not lost you.
When I lost you,
I lost half of what was me.
When I lost half of me, I lost the part of me I can't ever get back.
I want that back.
But it's not possible and it still hurts.
Happy Birthday.

I wish that I could tell you
that it would all be okay in the end.
This is just another stepping stone,
in the journey called life that we must endure.
I wish that I could tell you that hearts dont break,
or the water wont fall from these things called eyes.
I would be lying, so I don't.


I've been down the road before,
but I feel as though there are boundaries.
Walls that I can't cross, doors I can't seem to reach
to get in touch with you.
I wish that we didn't have to learn on our own,
the hard way out.
It kills me to see your pain the way you try to hide it.
I know you miss her, I miss him too.


It's been years, and we can't get over the fact that
a piece of our soul is missing.
I look into your eyes and see the same child,
lost and cold, the one I see in myself.
I wish that it wasn't me,
and I wish that it wasn't you.
But it was, it is, it will be.


The fact that I don't know who I am when I wake up
drives me crazy every morning.
I wish I had that smile to tell me,
everything happens for a reason and not to worry.
