Work? What's that?

(The only thing that makes me sad in that press release is the "early 2011 release date" for the HR! album, I wanted it yesterday!)

Hopefully, Tim will be okay by that date, they had to cancel their show in Calgary tonight because he's sick. It's the only time I'm glad that the Montréal show is still two weeks and a half away (not that I'm counting or anything).

Aw, Kris got lots of love in the Netherlands, the kids looked happy!

Also, I got his twitter comment about his hair. LOL.

Yes, lol, there were a few comments about the hair. I don't think it's that bad. (it's been worse) :)

yeah, lots of love though. So nice to see.

What was that, a Yanni concert? (lol) It's been a while since Kris played for so many kids. I like that Kris seems to be equally at home (and his music fits) regardless of the type of audience he plays for. Think of all the different venues and types of audiences he's had. That's pretty cool. Anyhow, I think the kids had a treat today.

Kris. "This one's for the old people and I don't mean that in an offensive way"

Hahaha.

Ha! Well, it's better than yesterday at least!

Yeah, it's a little better today. To tell you the truth, do you remember the Seinfeld episode where he had bad hair because of the shower? That's what it reminds me of today. Haha. It's not that it looks bad but he (Kris) loses his cool looks with his hair like that for some reason. Maybe he's trying to grow it so that he can swing it around like Keith Urban.

LOL - it's that European water.

Jake's speech at We Day today. He did really good. Kind of proud of him.

missaddicted I need you for this one! I think it's good.. but I need confirmation, lol.

As much as I like Hedley the NHL promos strike me as odd when they use the ballad Perfect to promote the NHL.

Yes, it's good. They say that they tried singing LLWD but that it didn't work. They didn't like it. If I read between the lines, I think they mean that they didn't like it when they were trying to sing it themselves, not that they hated the song itself. They say that their German record company put it on a B-side without them knowing it, they didn't want to release it. They say that Kris' version is good and that it helped them start a career in the U.S. when people learned that they originally wrote that song.

(SleepinIn, I saw Karkwa tonight, they were AMAZING!)

Wow, it's been a long time since I've seen Ben Mulroney!

I never quite know what We Day is - how does the expression "Me to we" fit in, there? I probably sound ignorant but we in the US know nothing about it.

Jacob's speech was pretty good. That moustache needs to go, though.

LOL, I just saw that somebody tweeted the Google Translation of that article. It's kind of hilarious. I hope not too many people in the world rely on Google Translation, because it's not working that well.

There is no news about Lee's single yet? :-? I wonder what's taking so long for them to choose? I think they should have chosen single already, being late is not good. Having a radio hit doesn't happen overnight.

I've just heard Jordin's version of “Beauty & The Beast". She sounds good. The song is set to be featured on Disney’s ‘Beauty and the Beast, Diamond Edition’. Here's a preview.

Apparently, Adam will arrive in Japan today. He will do 5 shows there. There are so much interesting things in Japan so im sure he will have a great time. Japanese fangirls look shy :smile:.


And here is a nice TV ad for "Adam Lambert Live in Manila" in Philippines.

It's basically a movement started from Craig and Mark Keilburger and their organization Free the Children. Craig is now 27 but he's been socially active for a long time. I think he was about 12 when Free the Children was founded and he started traveling to different places and meeting with world leaders on children's rights and poverty. The organization is run by young people for young people.. or that's how it started anyway. I think they have a partnership with Oprah so it's not unknown in the US, it just has a much, much greater profile here.

It's not unlike what Heifer is doing. Clean water, schools, and the way to make a living - as per Craig's twitter - "it's not charity, it's sustainability".


Craig's really interesting and I was following his tweets from Haiti after the earthquake as they had a school there, and Craig was sending in reports to the news.

Jacob and Craig's relationship is kinda funny, because Craig's so serious sounding sometimes (I don't know that he is but he comes off that way) and then Jake and Craig will joke with each other about goats.

mustache has to go.

This is only one of the reasons why I need you :)

Jordan does sound good on Beauty and the Beast - loved the movie BTW. Did Jordan do another animated song for Disney? Or is this the one I was thinking of?

also are Lee and David doing a show together? Or just traveling together?
