Hockey Night In Canada

The Hockey Night in Canada theme song has been offcially released for download on Puretracks.
Some people have billed it as Canada's Second national anthem.

I'm sure this song will be a popular download purely for its sentimental value, for others...it might serve as a good reminder in case someone asks you to hum it. ;-)

American Idol 3: Barry Manilow Week

This may sound dumb, but for the longest time i got Barry Manilow and Barry White mixed up. Geez...how is that possible??? They're so different. ;-) Anyways...here's Debbie's recap of Tuesday's show ..

Barry Manilow week. hmmm...I'm not a big fanilow and only a couple of his songs i.e. Copacabana. This week wasn't too entertianing for me but here's my weekly recap:

Diana DeGarmo--I can still here the illness she's been nursing for the past couple of weeks but I think she do a good job. I think the comment Randy gave about her choosing songs that are just slightly over her range rang true. She has a wonderful big voice and I love her confidence on stage but maybe she is a little too young to convey the emotionalness of the songs she chooses.

George--I didn't think he was that good.

Jennfier--Nice to see her coming along. She's on a roll and can very well be in the final 3 with La Toya and Fantasia. 3 outstanding divas.

Jasmine--great job Jasmine! It's getting closer to the final and I while I think she has a beautiful voice too, I don't think she can compete with the other 3 divas in the room.

La Toya--once again, great! She is soooooo good.

Jon Stevens--a familiar song but did not like it. I hope he goes. Conan's time has ran out. I hope America hears it.

Fantasia--my VCR stopped during the middle of her performance. I bet she was good. Fantasia has been nothing but be consistently good.

Bottom 3 for me: George, Jon and I guess Diana. I hope Jon goes but I think America's likes Jon better than Diana.

Next week's judge, Hear is Gloria Estafen. Ms. Estefan seems like a really nice lady but I don't think she has a nice voice at all! I can't believe she was in one of those Divas live show singing the almighty Aretha Franklin. I don't think she can hold her own with the likes of Ms. Franklin and Ms. Dion.

For Real??

Has anyone seen that commercial for Powerade featuing Le Bron James? It shows what seems to be game-day footage of James practising his shooting and draining about 4 or 5 of them in a row from 80 feet while a reporter says to his cameraman, "Do we have that? We have that, right?".

I've seen it a couple times, and I'm still not convinced its real. I don't think anyone can shoot from 80 feet out straight on with barely any kind of jump. Most guys have to do a run-up of sorts to get it that far. But even if its digital effects, its a pretty darn cool commercial, that's for sure...
