That "girl in a coma" did spark a lot of interest with me, though. She reminded me of my granddaughter for one thing.... boots, short skirt, voice et al. And who could deny the back ground dancers were not the perkiest of the perk. The ending was a real turn off for me..... destroying the guitar and the set. I'm never a fan of destruction but I guess it's the voice and arrangement we're to judge, not the video, itself. <br /><br />Much as I liked the novelty of first little gal, I have to go with Kelly. The blues beat went right down to mah sweet little (lie, big) danc'n feet and I was remembering the sweet hip sway'n of doing West Coast Swing. Dang, I always loved that dance. How do I always get back to dancing? But Kelly has a strong, taking-control, type of voice so she is number one for me.Manzanitahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06467261212623663365noreply@blogger.com
