Music for the Soul

From a very young age, music has always inspired me. Trying to hit the exact note in Wilson Phillips, "Hold On" or trying my best to fill in all of the parts of the Von Trapp girls, not to mention Julie Andrews crescen-do-re-mi (ing) all over the hills. I really do feel like music touches my soul. One regret I have is not trying out for a Christmas solo in 9th grade. I was afraid of failure, and since I never really had singing experience, what would people think of me putting myself out there in something I had no experience? So I sang my lungs out during the concert, hoping my soprano voice was heard above the others, but also blending in enough to not be recognized. That's why last night was magical. Justin Timberlake is super talented in so many ways, but his music is soulful. It's about fun, love, life, and just has so much power and energy behind it. It was deafening at times in Console, people clapping, screaming, *singing* in unison. I think that's another part of songs and concerts, the unity behind it. Everyone in unison, singing the words, or what they think the words are... I was appalled that Miley Cyrus was singing, "All you did was *rape me, until I found out it was *wreck, with her classic(<--sarcasm), "Wrecking Ball"...

I've been to many concerts, but JT's 20/20 experience, and the previous JT concert were the best. Finding out he was bringing sexy back, literally and figuratively, was similar to finding out there would be a Saved By the Bell College Years series. AH-MAHZ-ING.

Here is my homeless/classy/sophisticated look I was trying to capture for JT. I'd like to think as he was walking across the audience on the platform he thought, "Wow, that girl is cool meets homeless meets Urban Outfitters meets Free People, translation, I'd love to meet her. ;) Maybe his next comeback/concert, our paths will cross.
