..........country music :P

If you need suggestions let me know.

...Good luck with that, Liz. ;)

Eric country is not the best song type but if you really can sing you can adapt to anything so it has more in depth meaning to it ;) so ha :P

ooh, country.....can't wait for this one :)

Haha! This will be entertaining~ XD

ohhhhh I LOVE COUNTRY... so... I can't be in it, right, because I didn't do LEIA 2?

Bah, and I thought the last one was hard :P

Can anyone suggest a few artists to me?

ohhhhh I LOVE COUNTRY... so... I can't be in it, right, because I didn't do LEIA 2?
I'd say yes but the voting ended :( If you had said you could do it I would have stopped the voting and started it again with yours but..

bubblegummy: lonestar, rascal flatts, keith urban, faith hill, diamond rio, emerson drive... :P

Bubblegummy ---- i don't listen to a lot of country really either but i think that you should check out the dixie chicks - traveling soldier... that is an AWESOME song and I think you could pull it off based on what i've heard so far!!

Here's the lyrics:

Shania Twain *used* to do some country...?

oh gosh this is going to be difficult for me.. i think i will do some shania twain maybe, thanks for the suggestion munchkin!

^ no problem :) shania twain is one of my favorites..

i can't find any shania twain songs to sing :( but i do like "how do i" by leann rimes a lot! [i just remembered i had that song on my playlist :D]

so i'll try to do that one! but it's pretty hard.. her voice is too pretty..

I'd say yes but the voting ended :( If you had said you could do it I would have stopped the voting and started it again with yours but..

It is alright... it is my fault. I would have told y'all to put mine in but, I didn't want to be a pain and make the voting last even longer. But now at least I can vote w00t.

Ooooh thank you Monkey Bizzle, that seems like a song that I could JUST about sing, lol. Leann Rimes would have been a good one too but I forgot about her... and Shania Twain.

Faith Hill... isn't she the one that sang "and in my dreams I'll always see you soar above the sky... and in my heart there'll always be a place for you for all my liiife.." or something? Would that be acceptable to do? :P

People always wait for me to go to the second page of posts.... Do they have nextpagephobia or something? Sigh... Anyways good luck to you all!

if it makes you feel any better, i have my thing set to 40 posts per page so you are nowhere near on the next page yet!!!

yup, its 'there you'll be' by faith hill


Oooh, so I can do that? Thank you :D

when does this one end?

Love,
Mirna

Is monday long enough? You'll have over the weekend.

i think monday's good!

for me at least :D

Yep, I'm a bit ill today but I should definitely be able to record it tomorrow. :)

Sorry for this stupid question but how many LEIA Idols are you going to do in all? I've never actually watched American Idol so I'm learning about it on LEIA and I hear dozens of poeple talk about it, so I almost understand... But my question now is how many idols are you going to be doing?

do you mean rounds/ "parts", or how many times we're going to do the competition?

because i think the answer to the firts question would be just until we get one person left.. but i am not sure about the second one. probably until the members get sick of it i guess ;)

yup, you did, unfortunately... then I guess I should have voted for you if I wanted you in so badly... sorry Katie! You did great, but your opponents were so great too!

Hey guys~ Where is everyone!? [hears crickets] Hehe :p Anyway.. here's my song! I searched high and low, up and down, two and fro for a song! It was uber hard to pick one. -_- From the theme country, the first song that came to mind was "There You'll Be" by Faith Hill. It's ok if two of us do the same song, right? O.o! Okay, anyway, here it is! Short!

the link doesn't work :crying:

o.O Really? It works for me! Try again! Hehehe.. if it doesn't work for you again, I'll investigate! [stealth]

EDIT: ooh you fixed it, thanks! :D

that was very good!! i think you mastered the art of country :P

LOL SAL I love your handwriting and my name in the background. Classic. :) Haha :p Thanks honey <3

very nice sarah :P

Thanks Sophie <33

Would it be ok if I sang anyway :P I do not want to get in the way but, I love country so much. I now I am not in the Idol contest anymore but I was really looking forward to the country part while I was still in it.

i wanna hear you sing!! go ahead!

oh and could you possibly tell me what song i should do? :lolol:

because "how do i live" is really repetitive.. and sort of difficult..


ooh and thanks Sarah, hahah my handwriting looks like a 3rd grade childs' :P

lol@the first page dissing country, never read the second page. i dont know whos still in this, but rascal flatts, keith urban, chris cagle, toby keith, lonestar, or diamond rio will get my votes lol. there arent many good - girl country singers but w.e theres a few that are ok :) so yeh, it isnt hard, just get with the flow of it and country music can be one of the easiest to sing, i know the words to almost all 200 songs i have on my computer and more that i dont have and just pickup from the radio. good luck yall!

thezeppzone - Clint Black and his wife Lisa Hartman came to my show when I was in Nashville. They came with their adorable daughter ! I also went to the CMT awards and met Toby Keith, Trace Adkins, Chris Cagel, Deanna Carter, Jessica Andrews, and some other random people. It was uber fun, even though I'm not a fan of country music. ^^;

the only song i know by those bands you listed [zepp] is "i'm moving on" by rascal flatts. it's very pretty :P

i did "i'm moving on" by rascal flatts [i love this song!!]

http://www.powow.com/salomander/rascalflatts.wav

lyrics: http://www.azlyrics.com/lyrics/rascalflatts/immovingon.html

k.. hope you like it.. :D

Well I don't know what I'm even going to be singing any more, lol...

meh that link doesn't work.. here: http://www.powow.com/salomander

EDIT: aww bubblegummy do you really not want to have the same song Sarah? maybe you could do "how do i" by leann rimes :D

Yeah, I think it's better if we both have different songs because, well... I don't know. It doesn't matter.

I'll check out "how do I"... it's 8.52am though so I don't know if I'll be able to record it, neighbours are still sleeping.

oof it's called "how do i live", i always call it "how do i" though! i'm sure it doesn't make that much of a difference though :P

i'm going to sleep now, it's 1:23 am. ooh 1 2 3! yep its too late for my brain to work properly ;) good luck, i can't wait to hear it! :)

Night night :P

Still searching for the song, can't find it anywhere grrrr... looks like you're all going to get some... improvisation, eh.

Yay! Good songs everyone! I just got back from Ohio, so today was my first chance to listen to them! :D

xoxo

I can never seem to make the deadline, can I? :P

lol I only usually listen to the male country singers, there doesnt seem to be any good female ones anymore.

I haven't listened to the songs yet, I will in a sec but Sal.. I love that song :P

edit: yeah you can sing anyways :)

Bah, missed the edit time slot.

Ok, MP3 doesn't work for me unless everyone else can hear more than just the first 6 seconds.

Try http://chevre.parceque.org/howdoilive.wav and see if that works :S

good job! that was lovely! i love how do i live :)

bethy: i love that song too! i got so into it when i was singing it, my mom thought i was crazy :D

Sarah where do you get your backing tracks from??

Haha thanks all, you guys rock my socks <3 Sal and Bubblegummy own. XD You guys did super well, love the song choices~ <33

Starry - I just search for them! They're usually RELATIVELY easy to find, but some are complicated. -_-

i will post mine asap. Have some private time about a few minutes :P
i hope i'm not late ! hehe

yay i can't wait to hear it!!! :)

whoo ok... this is... my song thing... Concrete Angel. I love this song... but it really sad :(

http://www.powow.com/sopapillaz/index.html

Sorry for the double post... ran out of time

I just forgot to say... I loved all of your songs... wow sal... it was great...

same to bubblegummy... your voice is so lovely in the higher octave... I could never make my voice go that high... I do not know who to vote for now :P

thanks SOph! haha i'm gonna call you SOph from now on! [or maybe not :buckt:]

anyway, powow isn't working right now [or maybe that's just my computer] bc my page won't load for me either, so i'll listen to yours when it finally starts working :D i'm so exciteddd!

i think my computer needs a good ol' restart. i will be back in 45-ish seconds :P

same to bubblegummy... your voice is so lovely in the higher octave... I could never make my voice go that high... I do not know who to vote for now :P

It's not naturally like that, I've had to practice loads. I do loads of opera so that's probably why... but thanks all the same :P

either way it is pretty... and even with loads of practice I wouldn't be able to make my own voice sound so neat :P

i do opera too! just for fun though :D

i listened to yours Sophie, that was reallllly good! i think that was your best one yet :)

Bubbles - That was so good! Everyone is singing songs I like, and I don't even like country! Hehe! That's sad really, seeing as I live in South Carolina... Country Land USA.
