Musical Obsession

I haven't done a music post before, and this one may seem a little odd to some of you but I figured I'd write it anyway!

My boy and I went to Hastings the other day and raided the CD section. They were having a few sales: buy one used CD, get the 2nd for $1, and get 10% off new CDs. I've been wanting the Michael Jackson Number Ones CD for as long as I can remember. My best friend and I would play Mario Kart on Super Nintendo (remember that?!) and listen to that CD for hours. They had one copy left and I snatched it!

I started looking around for Cheyenne Kimball, and they didn't have it. I was disappointed because I actually used to own that CD. It got broken in my car, and I've missed it ever since then. She has a great voice and she's a very talented song writer.

After I couldn't find that one, I looked for the new Jessica Harp CD. That was a no go - it's not our yet. Drat. I've followed her since her pre-Wrecker days. Addict is one of my all time favorite songs. I made my way around the country section and realized I didn't have the first Taylor Swift CD. They had a used one and I got it.

I realized I wanted fun, girly music so I started looking at Demi Lovato and Ashley Tisdale. I ended up buying a used Demi Lovato CD (her first one) and the new Ashley Tisdale CD, Guilty Pleasure. I really liked her first CD. It had a lot of good poppy, dance music.

I got in the car and started to play the Demi Lovato CD. Very fun music, but for a younger crowd. I still love her voice though. I switched out and put in Ashley Tisdale. It had not left my CD player yet. I carry it around with me. Her music and lyrics have matured and become a little more...daring? No curse words or anything, just more mature subject matters. That's why I like it. I can relate to some of it. I blast it in the car because each song has it's own feel. There are really good beats, and her vocals match perfectly.


So my favorite purchase was the new Ashley Tisdale CD. It was also the most expensive, even at 10% off. Go figure! I definitely recommend it if you're looking for fun music you can blare on the stereo (or your iPod/Zune).
