Failures and Rainbows

For once I didn't get a chance to even watch the IDOLs on U-Tube. A whole bunch of stuff going on with my condo, a hot water tank, and my brother. But that's another blog.

I did see that it was "songs that inspire you" on IDOLS Gives Back night. Last year FOX made us sit through an entire results show only to tell us that no one would be voted off that week. So do we watch tonight? I vote NO. FOX has a way to tease us, in not a pleasant way.

Like I said I did not watch the performances so I can not say anything bad about Kristy Lee this week. But I did hear that Jason Castro did "Over The Rainbow". This is the best song ever written. How many songs can be like 80 years old and still be recorded?

And he did the version by the late Israel Kamakawiwo'ole. Go ahead and google him. His voice and song renditions are just beautiful. He has a mix out with "Over the Rainbow" and Louie Armstrong's "What A Wonderful World". Listen to it, buy it on iTunes, or get his CD. It brings tears to your eyes and goose bumps to your skin.

I feel like I failed you this week, and I am sorry. But I promise I will be back next week, with more insightful commentaries on your idols.
