country_beeJAYDEE BIXBY! So as promised I went on search for his cd today...Wal-Mart didn't have it, even though on their July poster it's pictured (the bastards!) So I had to go to the mall...I HATE THE MALL! but for important things I will suffer through it (and by suffer I mean suffer, just think of the mall, on a hot day, when school is out! :( ) But Jaydee falls under the important catagory so off to the mall I went...and thankfully the first store I went to, had it! \0/ And as tempting as it was to listen to, I waited until I got home so I could have total silence and just focus on the cd...and once all 12 tracks played my first reaction was....WOW!...followed by is this the same little Jaydee we saw on CI? because...WOW!
Now I am the first to wave my Jaydee flag high and proud, I adore him! I think he's super talented and deserves to be insanely famous, not only for his voice but for just being honest and real. But I have to admit I was worried about what this cd would be like, because while I do think he's talented I can also admit he had some shakey moments on CI, maybe he was nervous, maybe he was just to young, could have been a million things but could he pull off a cd?...YES! In that last year since we've seen him, his voice has matured and it's lowered a bit, gotten a bit rougher and became pretty much perfect! He knows what his voice can do, he knows what he's comfortable seeing and he sells every single song on the cd, not at any point do you think OMG what is he thinking or trying to do?!
There isn't one song on the cd that made me ache to hit the skip button, a good mixture of ballads and knee slapping songs (Beware this is 100% country!), the first 5 songs are catchy and worth listening to, but it wasn't until Track 6 "Somewhere Tonight" that my repeat finger got itchy and it was almost impossible for me to keep the cd going so I could hear the rest of it, the chorus will get stuck in your head and you'll NEED to hear it steady. My favorite song though is Track 9, "Hard to Love You" ...my '50's idol Jaydee gets to shine in this one, it's a depressing ballad about falling in love with the wrong person and you can close your eyes and see Jaydee standing on the Opry back then, one of those old fashion mics in front of him, tailord suit and slick backed hair, it's a beautiful song and it stretches over the decades, it could have been a hit back hten and it should be a hit now. ...and to close off the cd he chose to do a cover of "break it to them gently' I loved his version on CI, but this one...is even better, who knew a year could make so much differance, he's not that sweet naive 16 year old we met, he's grown up and you can feel it through the emotion he puts into this song.
I'm not going to rate this cd on stars, but half of the songs get repeat status and the others get played all the way through...and I can't say that about a lot of the cds I own. I'm proud of Jaydee and the cd he's come out with, and if his single can get air time, people are going to stand up and take notice, and he'll be one of Canada's biggest and best country singers. ♥
GUH! *THUD* GUH! *THUD*...just...yeah! I mean the suit/tux, with the undone tie, and the hand in the pocket and the holding of the mic, and the hips! OMG THE HIPS! and the smile, and the eyes, and the PERFECTION! My gosh! ..and on top of all that, he sang Bring it on Home to me...one of my favorite songs! *THUD*...if he doesn't make the top 10 I will HURT PEOPLE!
in other CI news...Ben ate Drew's cookie! ♥...Mitch is still reminding me of Jacob *shrugs* ...and Earl? Where did he come from? He is made of awesome...and kinda reminds me of JDM?! *shrugs* I say forget about everybody from Monday night, except for Theo, and Mookie, and keep all of tonights...well except the girls, girls suck! ... my Top 10 MUST HAVE Seb, Mookie, Theo, and Earl! *nods*

9/7/08 16:18 (UTC)I agree with you! From Monday night we need to keep around Theo and Mookie (because Mookie is my boyfriend, obv.) and I want Amberly around too. And from Tuesday night I would like to have both Pigotts, Drew, Mitch, Earl... and I guess I don't really care about anyone else. LOL.
