What Are You Listening To?

[Music Head]

from my granddaughter (cd)



Man, this is gonna be painful. Only hope my 7 year old granddaughter doesn't read this. She purchased her very first cd with her own money. She asked me to listen to it. Ok, stop laughing. I mean seriously, what would you do? I just said, sure thing kid. For those who don't know, Selena Gomez is one of the latest Disney stars. Has her own show, Wizards of Waverly Place. This is her second album for the Hollywood label. Didn't take 'em long to ruin this competent little singer. I remember a song off of her debut that I thought was pretty good. Nothing I can say that for here. Too much electro-pop for me, complete with auto-tune. But then, what do I know? The album debuted at #4 on Billboard. Two singles didn't fare that well, with Round & Round at #24, and A Day Without Rain at #35, but both doing quite well on the dance charts. Only songs I liked were the two that are not dance tracks, Ghost Of You and Live Like There's No Tomorrow. So I guess Selena has found her niche. Just too bad it's not mine also. But she has gained one fan with my granddaughter. She loves Round & Round. I told her the album was ok, but I really only liked those two. Well, come on, I couldn't tell her it sucked.

I DO NOT LIKE THIS ALBUM

Worst Track - Spotlight

Best Track - Live Like There's No Tomorrow

If time came to an end today
And we left too many things to say
If we could turn it back
What would we want to change
And now's the time to take a chance
Come on, we gotta make a stand
What if we gotta lose
The choice is in our hands

And we can find a way
To do anything, if we try to

Live like there's no tomorrow
'Cause all we have is here, right now
Love like it's all that we know
The only chance that we ever found
Believe in what we feel inside
Believe and it will never die
Don't never let this life pass us by
Live like there's no tomorrow

If there never was a night, a day
And memories could fade away
Then there'd be
Nothing left, but the dreams we made
Take a leap in faith and hope you fly
Feel what it's like to be alive
Give it all that we've got
And lay it all on the line

And we can find a way
To do anything, if we try to
