This weekend was spent at my dads house. I always have a blast with my three step-siblings. Friday night started off with Carrington(my 10 year old baby sister), telling me about a dance she made with two other kids from school.
Here is a little clip of it:
After that we decided we would camp out outside with my brothers and their friend.

The fire that didn't really keep us warm.. But it looked cool! :P
Monday: Today I woke up and my sister and I did makeovers...sorta. Well, she made me over. I now look all vintage-y. See?
We also went dress shopping for prom with Amber (my beautiful cousin who asked me to be her date ;) )buut I can't post a picture because that would just ruin the surprise (:
Last but not least, I did a cover. This week's category is: (drum roll please)
80's!!!!!!! WOOHOO.
Because I am the most indecisive human being on the planet. I am doing TWO covers. (:
Ah, the 80’s, the era of cheesy, extremely catchy singles that never, ever die. To this day everyone above the ages of, like, 8 know a lot of 80's songs, even my 10 year old sister Carrington (that also has to do with the fact that that’s all we listen to on the weekends).Anyway, there are so many “signature songs of the 80’s”; I just wanted to point out a few of the ones that jumped out at me.
1. Love Is A Battlefield- Pat Benatar
Gotta love this song. I always think of the movie 13 Going on 30, where her and a bunch of other girls are singing and dancing to this song. It's the best scene in the whole movie(:
2. Wake Me Up Before You Go-Go-WHAM! I remember the first time I heard this song I though it was the stupidest thing I had ever heard. Now I really like it, I love how cheesy and ridiculous it is((:
3. Time After Time-Cyndi Lauper I always thought this was a really pretty song... Its a classic, but she is seriously weird.
4. Don't Stop Believin'-Journey Oh, how I love this song. It is one of my all-time favorites. There are a lot of good covers of this song, such as the one by Glee and the one by Sam Tsui. I really just love Journey, I like their songs Open Arms and Faithfully too.
5. Total Eclipse of the Heart-Bonnie Tyler Another reaally pretty song. Strange music video, but I can't get it on so here is a live version:
6. Livin' On a Prayer- Bon Jovi Ohh, this is suuch a good song. I always think of the time my cousin was singing this and I just couldn't stop laughing*cough cough*(Paul). I think this is a cute music video...(:
7. Every Breath You Take-The Police This is another cheesy one that I reaally like anyway(:
8. Whip it-Devo Dumbest. Song. Ever. Just saying. I think it is ridiculous, but I like it anyway. I have a Devo shirt! It's been passed down to me but hey (: Here is a recent video of them performing it. They are pretty old now :P Click here for the music video.
9. The Way You Make Me Feel-Michael Jackson Hah, this song. Everybody knows it, and loves it, well a lot of people. Even me :D Plus, you've gotta love this music video...
10. Never Gonna Give You Up- Rick Astley Hah, this song is the epitome of CHEESY. But I lovee it. This little red headed guy's voice does NOT match his body. It's quite shocking.. P.S Does this guy remind anyone else of Duncan? ahaha
So today after pondering about what to blog about, I decided to do a review of The UK's top ten songs. I figured it would be fun to here some unfamiliar songs. Some of the songs are ones we have here but there are also some new ones. So, here I go(:
1. When We Collide-Matt Cardle What a good song! This guy actually won the X-Factor this year. It is really similar to the music in the U.S but at the same time it's so unique, which is not so common here. hah. It's cool(:
(Couldn't find a music video)
2. What's My Name-Rhianna and Drake Good song, it's really catchy, it gets stuck in your head and you can never, ever get it out...Especially the "Ooh nana. What's my name" part... :P
3. Your Song-Ellie Goulding This song was originally by Elton John. I have to say with her adorable accent and quirky personality it was charming and just awesome.
4. The Time-Black Eyed Peas I really dislike the Black Eyed Peas. I don't know why. But this song just really bugs me.
5. Surfin' Bird-The Trashmen Okay beware this may be the weirdest song you ever here. Ever.
6. Whip My Hair-Willow Smith This song is ok. I don't hate it but I don't love it either
7.The Flood-Take that This song is really strange. Not a bad strange, just odd, different.. This band was also on the X-Factor. How strange.
(again couldn't find a music video)
8. Hold My Hand-Michael Jackson and Akon I really like this song. I'm curious to why it's not popular in America. Or at least that I know of. Oh welll.
9. Only Girl-Rhianna It's pretty good but I'm already tired of it.
10. Like A G6-Far East Movement In the first review post that I did I didn't like this song at all. But my opinion has completely changed on it. It's even my ring tone!
