Everybody's got their life to live

Last night's theme was Songs I've Never Sung Before

1. It Don't Matter to Me -- Bread
2. Common People -- Pulp
3. With You I'm Born Again -- Billy Preston and Syreeta [duet with vfc]
4. A Little More Love -- Olivia Newton John
5. The Difficult Kind -- Sheryl Crow [duet with iamthesphinx]
6. Touch Me In the Morning -- Diana Ross
7. After All -- Cher and Peter Cetera [duet with vfc]

I also jumped on stage and helped a stranger sing Toto's Africa as well as crashing iamthesphinx's version of Kelly Clarkson's Walk Away.

The Diana Ross one was a little rough because it was in some weird key I couldn't follow and its not like its an easy song in general. I should have just ignored the backing track and sang the version in my head -- that's actually what I do with "Since U Been Gone". But singing that Olivia Newton John song was a dream come true. Ronnie the KJ was chatting with us occasionally and came up and said, hey, I have my personal collection here so if there's something you don't see, ask. And I immediately asked about ONJ. And he had it. And now I want to sing it every time I'm there.

you know....it was a little rough, only because the karaoke version is hard to follow because of lack of clarity in which part was which. i think it would work better to just sing it as a solo. that's what Babs would do.

Babs or Marilyn McCoo!

Barbie and I tried I just can't stop loving you, which was a disaster!

We both wanted to be Michael!!!
