Because I've got nothing better to do...

This is all [livejournal.com profile] westlifefan's fault. Blame her. For real. I don't really have any self-discipline when I'm doing homework. Everyone on my list should know that by now. At least I got everything done on my list tonight before I did this, right? Two iPod shuffle memes. I re-started the shuffle for the second one. I didn't tag anyone. You people are probably just annoyed it's popping up on your f-lists.

INSTRUCTIONS:
1. Put your iPod or other music player on shuffle.
2. For each question, press the NEXT button to get your answer.
3. YOU MUST WRITE THAT SONG NAME DOWN NO MATTER HOW SILLY IT SOUNDS!
4. Tag friends who might enjoy doing this as well as the person you got this from. Everyone can do it. XD

I said I wasn't tagging anyone. If you really want to, knock yourself out.

IF SOMEONE SAYS "IS THIS OKAY" YOU SAY?
"The More Boys I Meet" - Carrie Underwood (Cause that one made perfect sense.)

WHAT WOULD BEST DESCRIBE YOUR PERSONALITY?
"The Music of the Night" - Andrew Lloyd Webber (It just says Webber...it's actually Michael Crawford...Best. Phantom. Ever. Move over Gerry Butler. ...this one doesn't make sense either...)

WHAT DO YOU LIKE IN A GUY/GIRL?
"Dancing Through Life" from Wicked - Norbert Leo Butz (In reality, I think I'd smack someone who was like this.)

WHAT IS YOUR LIFE'S PURPOSE?
Les Amoureux Des Bancs Publics" - Various Artists (I can't remember who sings it...it says at the beginning! That translates to "The Lovers of the Public Bank" by the way...)

WHAT IS YOUR MOTTO?
"Peron's Latest Flame" from Evita - Antonio Banderas (...wow...)

WHAT DO YOUR FRIENDS THINK OF YOU?
"New York State of Mind" - Billy Joel

WHAT DO YOU THINK ABOUT OFTEN?
"I Know" - Drake Bell (That was actually a pretty decent answer for what the shuffle is supposed to come up with.)

WHAT IS 2+2?
"Saturday" - Fall Out Boy

WHAT DO YOU THINK OF YOUR BEST FRIEND?
"Movin' Out" - Billy Joel (I think this thing's broken...)

WHAT IS YOUR LIFE STORY?
"Love Heals" - Cast of Rent (*throws iPod at the wall*)

WHAT DO YOU WANT TO BE WHEN YOU GROW UP?
"We Rule the Night" - Bon Jovi (LMAO!)

WHAT DO YOU THINK WHEN YOU SEE THE PERSON YOU LIKE?
"So Long" - Constantine Maroulis (Rather than say why this makes no sense, I should probably be explaining why I have Constantine on my iPod...)

WHAT DO YOUR PARENTS THINK OF YOU?
"Help" - The Beatles (Very funny.)

WHAT WILL YOU DANCE TO AT YOUR WEDDING?
Evidently Joe Trohman's manifesto...what the hell is that doing on my iPod???
How about "Friday Night" - The Click Five instead? :P

WHAT WILL THEY PLAY AT YOUR FUNERAL?
"She's A Mystery" - Bon Jovi

WHAT IS YOUR HOBBY/INTEREST?
"So Emotional" - Christina Aguilera (This might be stranger than Joe Trohman's manifesto...)

WHAT IS YOUR BIGGEST SECRET?
"Candle in the Wind" - Elton John

WHAT DO YOU THINK OF YOUR FRIENDS?
"Another Bear" from Finding Neverland - Jan A.P. Kaczmarek

WHAT'S THE WORST THING THAT COULD HAPPEN?
"The One That Got Away" - Bon Jovi (Hey, one that makes sense!)

HOW WILL YOU DIE?
"Without Love" from Hairspray - Zac Efron, Nikki Blonsky, Elijah Kelly, & Amanda Bynes

WHAT IS THE ONE THING YOU REGRET?
"Love Song for No One" - John Mayer

WHAT MAKES YOU LAUGH?
"America's Suitehearts" - Fall Out Boy

WHAT MAKES YOU CRY?
"Mystery Train" - Bon Jovi

WILL YOU EVER GET MARRIED?
"The Take Over, The Break's Over" - Fall Out Boy (Wouldn't you rather be a widow than a divorcee? ...that doesn't answer the question, boys...though, I suppose it makes more sense than a majority of the answers here, which, is also pretty sad.)

WHAT SCARES YOU THE MOST?
"Low" - Kelly Clarkson

DOES ANYONE LIKE YOU?
"Mixtape" - Butch Walker (Must have, if they gave me the best mixtape I have, then again...of course if I'm wishing that there was more than that about me and whoever it is...I'm going to go stop being lame now.)

IF YOU COULD GO BACK IN TIME, WHAT WOULD YOU CHANGE?
"Bad Day" - Daniel Powter (Had a lot of those...)

WHAT HURTS RIGHT NOW?
"Piano Man" - Billy Joel

WHAT WILL YOU POST THIS AS?
"The New Girl in Town" from Hairspray - Brittany Snow


The rules:
Put your music player of choice on shuffle and answer these questions with the first line(s) of the song.

1. If you were to see a ghost, you'd scream..."Well you done done me in your bed I felt it." ("I'm Yours" - Jason Mraz) Must have been a hot ghost.

2. If you were to write an autobiography, you'd call it..."Don't go breaking my heart." ("Don't Go Breaking My Heart - Elton John & Kiki Dee) I'm going to go crawl under a rock now...

3. You get a letter from a secret admirer that reads..."I never asked for this or planned it in advance." ("Wonderful" from Wicked - Joel Grey) That's actually kind of cute.

4. In a job interview you're always sure to tell the manager..."Sometimes I want to quit this all and become an accountant now." ("The (Shipped) Gold Standard" - Fall Out Boy) Ha! Wonder what the response to that would be.

5. When you arrive at the pearly gates in the sky you say..."I'll take you just the way you are." ("Declaration" - David Cook)

6. If you were a superhero, your catch phrase would be..."Dressed up for a big date like Halloween Day, but it was Fourth of July now." ("Captain Crash and the Beauty Queen from Mars" - Bon Jovi)

7. When somebody offers you drugs you decline by saying..."I don't expect my love affairs to last for long." ("Another Suitcase in Another Hall" from Evita - Madonna)

8. While stuck in traffic you read a strange bumper sticker that states..."I've been knockin', so come to your front door." ("Headlight Disco" - The Click Five) Hey, I'd go to my front door for Kyle any day... :X

9. Hmm... "Didn't want to see it end this way." ("River Runs Dry" - Bon Jovi)

10. When a bully insults you, your comeback is..."I'm flat on the floor with my head down low where the sky can't rain on me anymore." ("Flat on the Floor" - Carrie Underwood) Sadly, this must have been the best one yet.

11. When you win a game of ping pong you shout..."Bobby's driving through the city tonight through the lights in a hot new rent-a-car." ("Say Goodbye to Hollywood" - Billy Joel) I'm trying to think of ANY situation where it would be appropriate to shout that...except for during drunk Billy Joel karaoke.

12. So what exactly makes you so awesome..."Don't you want to go for a ride, just keep your hands inside, and make the most out of life, now don't you take it for granted." ("This Is How A Heart Breaks" - Rob Thomas)

13. After making out, you tell your sweetheart..."I got questions for you, you've got answers untrue." ("Straight Ahead" - David Cook) Talk about a dysfunctional relationship.

14. If you're the valedictorian of your school, you open your valedictory speech with..."Maybe it's intuition, but some things you just don't question.". ("I Knew I Loved You" - Savage Garden) It was the French song again...I only skipped it because he sings really fast, and I haven't figured that one out yet...

15. Describe your best friend..."Ludicrous! Have you seen the score! Simply ludicrous! It's the final straw!" ("Notes/Twisted Every Way" - Phantom of the Opera Original Cast) Actually...

16. When you're angry, you like to scream..."I miss the sound of your voice." ("Come on Get Higher" - Matt Nathanson) Uh...

17. What you say to ask for forgiveness from someone you've hurt..."St. Jimmy's coming down across the alleyway." ("St. Jimmy" - Green Day) Ooookaaaaay

18. How you express your feelings to your crush..."The power of love is a curious thing, make one man weep, make another man sing." ("The Power of Love" - Huey Lewis and the News) Teehee. That one actually would be an interesting opening.

19. How you introduce yourself to people..."Someday we'll all get started, someday we'll have what we wanted, someday we'll want what's better, someday we'll all live forever.". ("Someday" - Plain White T's)

20. When asking for directions, you start the question with..."I'm walking on clouds now, and the sky is falling all down." ("Possibilities" - Teddy Geiger) The odds that you'll actually get a song with a question in the first line...

My iPod is biased, by the way. In case you couldn't tell from the overabundance of FOB and Bon Jovi...well, maybe BJ isn't so weird for me.

I'd say definitely wishful thinking. Although, if he does keep doing what he's been doing, I think he'll leave soon. Happened to Chris Daughtry.

Yeah, I figured that too. I'm glad the judges didn't waste the save on her. It wasn't good.

[identity profile] holly-hox-1985.livejournal.com 2009-03-23 07:09 pm (UTC)(link)
A few more weeks of that and he'll turn off enough people, but he's probably learned his lesson.

I would have gone nuts if they wasted the save. It's still too early to save anyone, I think.

[identity profile] street-symphony.livejournal.com 2009-03-23 07:12 pm (UTC)(link)
Probably. From what I know, he does google himself, so he probably checks DialIdol and stuff too.

Definitely. Not to mention, who would have gone on tour if they had? That was my question.

[identity profile] holly-hox-1985.livejournal.com 2009-03-24 04:55 am (UTC)(link)
LOL why is it not a surprise to me that he Googles himself?

Ahh, good one. Yeah how could they have even done a save on that week? I didn't even think of that.

[identity profile] street-symphony.livejournal.com 2009-03-24 05:15 am (UTC)(link)
I don't know why anyone on that show would, but he does seem to be the type.

Which is pretty much why I thought the save would never happen in the first place. I think they're saving it for around top 6/5 when Lil or Adam get the boot.

[identity profile] holly-hox-1985.livejournal.com 2009-03-24 06:38 am (UTC)(link)
I know I personally couldn't handle it, but it does seem like he's famewhorey enough to want to look.

They're definitely going to use it on someone strong. Lil or Adam, like you said, and maybe Matt. I don't think Danny will ever be in the bottom, to be honest.

[identity profile] street-symphony.livejournal.com 2009-03-24 04:37 pm (UTC)(link)
I couldn't either. But, yes, he does.

Probably not. Even though people say they're sick of his story. People are still voting for him. I'd hope they would use it on Matt if it happened.

[identity profile] holly-hox-1985.livejournal.com 2009-03-24 07:41 pm (UTC)(link)
I'm sick of Danny's story too, and I'm not sure I go for his personality and what he's about, but his voice is spectacular. I'm afraid for Matt - he's so good but it seems like when it comes down to it, Danny, Lil, and Adam get more attention.

[identity profile] street-symphony.livejournal.com 2009-03-24 08:53 pm (UTC)(link)
Danny seems like a nice enough guy, but I actually don't know what to think about him. They do. I loved Matt's arrangement of "So Small" better than the original Carrie Underwood, but Danny got more credit for singing "Jesus Take the Wheel," which I appreciate a lot as a song but totally saw coming from him.

[identity profile] holly-hox-1985.livejournal.com 2009-03-24 10:17 pm (UTC)(link)
I don't either. I thought I read somewhere that he has a church for his wife? It was something odd, anyway. Danny's "Jesus Take The Wheel" was the only version of that song that I've ever been able to stand, but you're right, Matt didn't get nearly enough credit for "So Small". He should have, considering he changed it so much it was practically a different song. It was great.

[identity profile] street-symphony.livejournal.com 2009-03-24 10:49 pm (UTC)(link)
That sounds familiar, but I'm not sure if that was what I heard. I like Carrie to a degree, so I'm okay with the song. I just knew he was going to sing it. That was why I liked Kris's too. Neither song sounded country to me. The best part was, Matt still sang it well too. I really liked it.

[identity profile] holly-hox-1985.livejournal.com 2009-03-25 05:50 pm (UTC)(link)
I remember some kind of "Sophie's" something or other, maybe it was an organization but it really seemed like a church haha. Yeah, it's totally a song he'd sing. I'm excited for tonight!

[identity profile] street-symphony.livejournal.com 2009-03-25 11:21 pm (UTC)(link)
Hmm. I don't know. I remember something, but I can't remember what it was exactly. I'm feeling kind of "meh" this week. I like the theme, but the whole week seems off. I get thrown by the Wednesday/Thursday shifts.

[identity profile] holly-hox-1985.livejournal.com 2009-03-26 05:33 pm (UTC)(link)
Overall I don't care for many Motown songs, but I do respect them. Megan has to go, and I hate Adam more than ever. I might be the only person on Earth that does, but he continues to gross me out.

[identity profile] street-symphony.livejournal.com 2009-03-26 06:13 pm (UTC)(link)
Megan really was a disappointment last night. I thought Adam's vocal was good (no screeching), but he looked ridiculous. I don't know what was going through his head. Matt and Kris should not have gone at the beginning, though.

[identity profile] holly-hox-1985.livejournal.com 2009-03-26 07:35 pm (UTC)(link)
She's always a dissapointment as far as I'm concerned haha...I have no idea how she even got in the top 12. I know you like her, though. Adam is a greaseball. I didn't like what Dial Idol predicted either haha.

I agree about Matt and Kris. Not good spots at all.

[identity profile] street-symphony.livejournal.com 2009-03-26 08:13 pm (UTC)(link)
I think it's because she's pretty because her best song was her first audition. I'm okay with the bottom 3 that DialIdol predicted, but not the rest of the order.

I think it hurt them a little in the voting last night. Michael and Megan should have been in the first couple of spots. And Kris is always at the beginning.

[identity profile] holly-hox-1985.livejournal.com 2009-03-26 08:57 pm (UTC)(link)
I'm ok with the bottom 3 too, but not in that order like you said, and I cringe at the possible idea that Adam got the most votes of anyone.

I was surprised that Matt opened and that Allison closed. I'm not sure I would have given her that spot.

[identity profile] street-symphony.livejournal.com 2009-03-26 11:54 pm (UTC)(link)
He's always gotten the most votes, which kind of bothers me. Honestly, nothing really compared to Kara's comments last night, though. That's the first time this year I've yelled at my TV.

Allison is good, but Matt was better. I was irritated he opened because his was better. I know he closed last week, but...

[identity profile] holly-hox-1985.livejournal.com 2009-03-27 05:24 am (UTC)(link)
He's even beaten Danny in the past? I'm really starting to think that AI messes around with the two members of the bottom two that don't end up going home. It can't be accurate - can it? I know Dial Idol isn't always accurate either but I can't imagine Matt was really in the bottom 3 and Megan wasn't.

Yeah it's too much to expect he'd close twice back to back. Honestly with the way they love Adam, I'm surprised they didn't pick him.

[identity profile] street-symphony.livejournal.com 2009-03-28 02:40 am (UTC)(link)
Ooops, I lied. He was #2 right behind Danny during MJ week. Which was still pretty high. Someone had a theory last year that the other members of the bottom are set up. They say to listen to what Ryan says. If he says "bottom two," it's probably the actual bottom two. If he never mentions bottom two or three, it may be set up to shock people. I think it's possible. Of course, the VFTW block is on Megan's side as well as her fanbase.

I was too. As much as I like Allison, I don't think she should have closed.

[identity profile] holly-hox-1985.livejournal.com 2009-03-28 04:51 am (UTC)(link)
I think the other two have to be set up, at least until the competition gets towards the end. It seems that way from this week and last week. Maybe they throw someone like Matt in the bottom to scare his fans so they vote more next week? It worked for Allison (well, that and she did better this week).

[identity profile] street-symphony.livejournal.com 2009-03-28 05:33 am (UTC)(link)
I'd believe it. I have a lot of trouble believing Matt was in the bottom as well. I got home in time to see the bottom two just before Michael Sarver got kicked off and nearly had a fit. In fact, I still think the Michael Johns departure last year was set up. I may also be in denial there, though.

[identity profile] holly-hox-1985.livejournal.com 2009-03-28 05:52 am (UTC)(link)
No I think it might have been, too. And Daughtry's, although I'm sure he's glad that played out as it did.

I knew as soon as they called Matt's name for the bottom it was BS. No one looked like they believed it.

[identity profile] street-symphony.livejournal.com 2009-03-28 08:23 pm (UTC)(link)
Probably. There's no way he'd be what he is now if he'd won.

That's good to know. I think they thought they might have gotten away with it since he went first. And maybe his fans will have an incentive next week (which, might have been the goal, when you think about it).
