Day 16 - A Song I Used To Love, But Now Hate?
I generally love Live Lounge sessions - where else will you get The Artic Monkeys singing Love Machine from Girls Aloud, or maybe Adele singing Promise This by Cheryl Cole (she kills it incidentally - poor Cheryl must have been a sobbing mess when she heard it), then we could have Bruno Mars singing Katy Perry or The Wanted singing a Script song while dressed in Halloween make-up etc etc?
Genuinely, most of them are amazing. A few years ago Leona Lewis was on and did her generic stuff and for her cover song she decided to cover Run by Snow Patrol and I remember listening to it and thinking she did an amazing job with it.
The problem was she/Simon Cowell/whoever wasn't content with it being a really great Live Lounge cover and instead decided that she just had to release it and turn such a great song into another bland, over-produced, faceless power ballad that has none of the emotional resonance of the original. The really sad thing is that most people think it was her song. It's just a shame that they didn't leave it as a great cover and instead flogged a dead horse. Nothing about her version is as good as the original and it's a shame, because she's better than that.
Leona Lewis - Run
So - was out for dinner with friends today. It was great, so good to catch up. I had one of these -
Yes - it is tea, served in a wine glass and with a flower in the middle of it, because I am hardcore and that's clearly how I roll. I am ignoring the fact that it is borderline pretentious to a) order, and b) be excited about a drink that flowers as you drink it, but I swear it may be the coolest eating/drinking experience of my life.
Yeah, it was a good day today - it was beautiful weather wise, which always helps. It was the first day this year we got close to 20. If our whole summer could be the temperature it was today I would be a really happy person.
Everything toda was good until dog sabotaged me earlier tonight when she left a bone on the stairs that I inevitably tripped and fell on. Thankfully, it wasn't too far and I'm not really injured, but thank God it's flats weather because there is no chance in hell I will be able to wear anything remotely resembling a boot or heel until my foot and leg stop throbbing. I'm not sure if I can confiscate her bone for nearly breaking my neck, but I may accidentally kick her care bear out my room where she's hidden it. ;) #petty
