8. MUSIC!

This shoutout is to...um... you!  :)

Warning!!!!!  I haven't read through this so if there are tons of mistakes I'm soo sorry.  It's totally my fault and I take all the blame.

**************************************************************************************************************

I know I've uploaded this already today but I don't know when I'll get another opportunity so I thought I'd overwhelm ya'll with tons of reading.  This is kind of like homework.  It's all due tomorrow so get busy!

Give your 20 Favorite songs.  Why do you like each one?

This one is kind of easy for me because I have a temporary favorites folder on my iPod.  I switch these songs out when I get tired of them and right now I think I have about 20 favorites.

These songs are by no means in order of favorite.  I love them all pretty much equally (execpt the ones that I might switch out soon)

Also...I'm not going to go into too much detail about why I like each one.  If you want to hear it find it on YouTube or something...

I've said this before but I'm a country fan.  So 1-3 are country songs by Reba McEntire.  The reason I like these songs is because I like Reba McEntire.  She has a unique voice I think but I love it.

1. Turn on the Radio

2. Strange

3. Consider me Gone

The next one is by Taylor Swift.  I used to absolutly love her soooo much but then I got sick of her and couldn't listen to her stuff anymore.  Then this song came out and I loved it!

4. Mean

Montgomery Gentry is also on my favorites list because I love the message of their song. 

5. Something to be Proud of

John Michael Montgomery (who I believe is a brother to the Montgomery singer in Montgomery Gentry) has a song that I think is just fun to listen to.  I went to his concert and he sang this song and I just liked it!

6. Sold

Now, I just have to say that I really like Martina McBride but this is my favorite of her songs.  I love this next one because it's sooo true.

7. Wrong Baby Wrong Baby Wrong

The Wreckers made it onto my list as well.  I'd never heard of the Wreckers until I was looking at 69 cent songs on iTunes and found it.  I think they are amazing!  But to be honest this is the only song I know of theirs.

8. Leave the Pieces

So far it's been all country!  But I'm going through a phase where I like other music as well... so the next artist is Kelly Clarkson.  The first song in this category is by Kelly Clarkson and Reba McEntire which made me so happy when I found it because they are two of my favorites!  Now, I know these next songs have probably been out for a very long time but I'm kind of just discovering them.

9. Because of you (Reba and Kelly)

10. Behind these Hazel Eyes

11. Since U Been Gone

12.  Already Gone

Next is from Sara Bareilles... I fell in love with this song when I heard it in a friends car and hunted it down until I found it.

13. King of Anything

The next two are kind of my theme songs.  They are from different artists but they have the same theme of be youself and if you mess up keep going.  I love them probably more than...well maybe not.

14. Unwritten (Natasha Bedingfield)

15. Firework (Katy Perry) And I just have to say that I really don't like Katy Perry at all (I know...sad) but I love love love this song.

The next song...whenever I listen to it...makes me feel happy.  The music so amazing and the words are...inspiring???  Maybe???  It's by Coldplay and my sister played it in orchestra and I've loved it ever since.

16. Viva la Vida

So...I have a few more on my favorites list but I switch them when they come on.  I think I'm sick of them.  But I've found a few more favorites that I haven't listened to in a loooong time.  This next one (and maybe the one after that) is country...go figure!  It's from The Band Perry.  I love this group.  It's newer but amazing.  They have a new song that I'll be getting soon.  So the next two are from them.

17. If I die Young

18. You Lie (I can't believe I almost forgot about this one...now I'm going to buy it)

Country...again.  By the Zac Brown Band.  It's super cute.

19. As She's Walking Away (Feat. Alan Jackson)

And last (but not least)... um, let me see.  Regina Spektor.  I like a ton of her songs but they aren't on my favorites list (well, they are but I haven't been listening to them)  This one is probably my favorite from her.

20. The Call (It's on a movie...can't remember which one)

So that's my list and it's probably long and very boring but hey, it's my favorites.  Go ahead and tell me your favorites.  I know I didn't say why I like each one but pretty much it's because they caught my attention on the radio.  They have a good message or they're just super fun to listen to.  What's your favorite 20?  You don't have to say why (unless you want to)  :)
