Blogmas Day 5: Scribbles About Music: Simply Christmas by Leslie Odom, Jr. Review

So when I found out Aaron Burr was having a Christmas CD I got super excited! I think he has my favorite singing voice of anyone in the Original Hamilton cast... and I just really like it! I'm not that into his jazz cd because I'm not that into jazz... but I know he's a really good singer and I like Christmas Music, so it was good!

So the selection of songs on the cd is kind of unique. These aren't songs that are un-traditional... but they aren't necessarily ones that you hear all the time on every radio station... and its sort of a different take on them too. The music is unique and Leslie's voice is just so amazing that it really does well with all of the songs.

And the songs on the cd are Have Yourself a Merry Little Christmas, The First Noel, My Favorite Things, I'll Be Home for Christmas, Merry Christmas Darlin, The Christmas song, Winter Song, and Ave Maria... in almost that order... lol. But yeah good selection of songs. I like his version of My Favorite things a lot. Winter Song isn't my favorite Christmas song... but I really love his version. I think all of the songs are amazing. Ave Maria is especially good and brings tears to my eyes... its really one of the best Christmas cds ever.

It's also cool because you can get an autographed copy of the cd on his website for $25! So if you know any Hamilton fans, this is literally the perfect Christmas gift!

My favorite song is probably Ave Maria... I don't really think of that as a Christmas song though because people sing it at weddings... so I think my favorite is The First Noel or My Favorite Things... both are really amazing and just really pretty songs. There isn't one song on the album where I'm like "meh, I'll skip over this." It's all really good.

So if you want to get in the holiday spirit, this is a good one to download. If you like Christmas music, but you don't necessarily like the radio's selection this is great... and if you like Hamilton... this is obviously really good.

Hope this was helpful!

Byeee!

Scribbles about TV: Jane The Virgin Review!

This I think is a surprise hit, so of corse I needed to watch it for myself to see! It's been getting a lot of critical buzz because it has been reviewed as "one of the best pilots of the season" and I also have been hearing a few critics saying that they don't think it will last because the word "virgin" is in the title... which is stupid. There is nothing wrong with being a virgin and if a show is good, its good and people should watch it... plus this did bring pretty high ratings for The CW so the critics that said that can suck it! Lol. Overall I really liked this show. One thing thats been bothering me a lot about the new Fall shows is that the characters aren't interesting enough. Especially the female characters. I thought that this showed a lot of really strong female characters that were interesting. This had a pretty big cast with A LOT of stuff going on for a pilot and most of the characters were female. That is a powerful thing to see on TV...

Top 10 Dating Tips/ Suggestions

So I've been in a relationship for about 2 and a half years... but before that I was single... for a very long time. And I was on dating apps for about a year or so before that... so here's what I learned from those apps. If you want more specific relationship advice I have from being in a relationship... that one might be a little harder but I guess I could do a blog on that too? Idk... I'm not an expert but I think I have some good tips.  Find an App That Works For You  I feel like not all apps work for everyone. I started on Bumble- and I like the app. I love the idea of girls taking the first move- but... I HATE making the first move apparently. So I would just match with a bunch of guys... and never really knew what to talk about. Plus I like having A LOT of info in my bio and Bumble just doesn't give enough space for me. I only went out with 1 guy from Bumble I think and it was bad.  So after that I tried Coffee Meets Bagel... which is terrible. Maybe depending on...

Scribbles About TV: Jane The Virgin Finale Review (SPOILERS)

So.... Can we talk about all the twists because there were a lot! I didn't even see all of them coming! Alrighty we start out in typical Jane The Virgin Mode with Jane's choice between Raphael and Michael... I'd be okay with either but I think I'm team Michael. Jane has a weird moment with Raphael and thinks she's better off without him and just having him be the father of her child. She's also starting to have some feelings for Michael again. Then she almost has the baby on the bus and some woman helps her and gets the bus driver to take her to the hospital. Rogellio and Xo are in Vegas and they get drunk and can't remember what happens, but they make it just in time to see Jane deliver a baby boy. I knew it would be a boy! Lets pause on that a little and go to Michael and his ex partner/friend with benefits who comes back says she has a lead on Sin Rostro, gives him an address where the plastic surgeon is and by the time Michael gets there, he's de...
