Candice killed it again last night on American Idol. She received the only standing ovation of the night, led by Mariah Carey, who was actually the first to rise.
This is the second time this season Candice has delivered one of the best performances in the show’s history.
The first was Love Song & now Somewhere
She deserves to win! Vote for Candice!
Dear Mariah Carey,
I cannot wait any longer. To remain on schedule with my personal goals, I must contact you now. You’re 25th Anniversary is around the corner and I must have a hand in the festivities!
I believe we are meant to work together (& be friends). Here are some simple, fun indicators:
-The Aries Dog (you) & The Aries Horse (me) are wonderfully compatible.
-We’re both from New York: Bronx/Westchester (me), Long Island (you).
-An even 20 years my senior, you made your professional debut the year I was born.
-I’m a fraternal twin & you gave birth to fraternal twins.
-Surprise! I went to the same high school as your ex-husband. (Not to worry…)
I don’t just see myself as just a fan. Rather, I am an investor, in all that is Mariah. Consider me the Ursula to your Ariel, but instead of trying to steal your voice (I wish I could), my role is to help maintain creative cultivation of your talents as we celebrate 25 years (& counting). I promise, Underneath the Stars, to give you My All as we embark on a dynamite collaboration befitting of your upcoming 25th anniversary.
7 Main Creative Goals for Our Collaboration:
*At least 22 # 1 Hits (#Beautiful will be your 19th)
*Songbird Supreme your album, fabulously peppered with jazzy influences. The Wind anyone?
*A hit, rock-tinged single a la You Need Me & Prisoner.
*A truly uptempo single a la Fantasy & Heartbreaker. Give me a #1 hit to dance to!
*A fierce collaboration with Bjork. Yes, you read correct.
*25th Anniversary Concert at Carnegie Hall. It’s about time.
*For The Nostalgia, a behind the scenes documentary, celebrating 25 years & looking toward the future of music
Plus, a world tour, utilizing your house club remixes like never before. Let’s truly give them a show as powerful as your voice! Complete with fresh, dynamic choreography.
If you agree to meet with me, not only would I be Overjoyed and supremely honored, I promise you will not be disappointed. I believe this is a great opportunity to realize a long held dream of mine in aiding your creative growth as an artist. A meeting this summer would be ideal, to prepare for 2014, which will be spent preparing creatively, physically, and of course, vocally for your 25th anniversary! Please let me know if you’re interested. Because of you, I found strength in being on the Outside. Thanks Mariah!
-Josh :)
P.S- I have always supported you, so I returned to watching American Idol, and this was the first season I voted. Amber and Candice are amazing. Plus, when I was younger, I used to co-sign your initials on my assignments, so that my teachers knew I liked you.

Community was on fire tonight! Here’s why:
The Dean having a Pleasantville moment
Guest appearances by Brie Larson and Sophie B. Hawkins.
A story premise & dialogue pacing that actually brought humor into the laugh out loud zone.
Real character ‘recognition & reversal’ moments. Namely Abed’s & Jeff’s. Shout out to Pierce.
A sneak peek at the puppet episode featuring an awesome acapella group-hum moment to “Daybreak”
This is the best episode of Season 4 thus far!

Cool. Cool cool cool. :D
Whoever made this video, you win all the awards.
Such a hilarious compilation from one of my favorite tv shows ever. Jim Dale’s “Oh hell no” at the end gets me every time.
Bow Down/I Been On UNPITCHED
Let’s hear the Queen B in all her realness…
This shit is fly.
Of course some people are scared/ turned off by ‘hood’ Beyonce, but I get why she made the record & it’s not the first time she’s given us flavorings of this sort before.
He’s perfect ♥
Andrej’s androgyny is the most infuriatingly fabulous thing to witness.

Rob Portman doesn’t have a son with a pre-existing medical condition who’s locked out of the health insurance market. Rob Portman doesn’t have a son engaged in peasant agriculture whose livelihood is likely to be wiped out by climate change. Rob Portman doesn’t have a son who’ll be malnourished if SNAP benefits are cut. So Rob Portman doesn’t care.
It’s a great strength of the movement for gay political equality that lots of important and influential people happen to have gay children. That obviously does change people’s thinking. And good for them.
But if Portman can turn around on one issue once he realizes how it touches his family personally, shouldn’t he take some time to think about how he might feel about other issues that don’t happen to touch him personally?

This is so true though.
