Single: The Time of My Life

The Time of My Life

I've been waiting for my dreams
To turn into something
I could believe in
And looking for that
Magic rainbow
On the horizon
I couldn't see it
Until I let go
Gave into love and watched all the bitterness burn
Now I'm coming alive
Body and soul
And feelin' my world start to turn

And I'll taste every moment
And live it out loud
I know this is the time,
This is the time
To be more than a name
Or a face in the crowd
I know this is the time
This is the time of my life
Time of my life

Holding onto things that vanished
Into the air
Left me in pieces
But now I'm rising from the ashes
Finding my wings
And all that I needed
Was there all along
Within my reach
As close as the beat of my heart

And I'll taste every moment
And live it out loud
I know this is the time,
This is the time to be
More than a name
Or a face in the crowd
I know this is the time
This is the time of my life
The time of my life

And I'm out on the edge of forever
Ready to run
I'm keeping my feet on the ground
My arms open wide
My face to the sun

I'll taste every moment
And live it out loud
I know this is the time,
This is the time to be
More than a name
Or a face in the crowd
I know this is the time
This is the time of my life
My life
More than a name
Or a face in the crowd
I know this is the time
This is the time of my life
This is the time of my life
Life
Time of my life
Time of my life

New Single: Boney James & Syesha Mercado

Boney James & American Idol's Syesha Mercado

Release Exclusive Internet Only Single

The Only Place You Are "Gonna Get It" Is On iTunes!

Urban Jazz Icon and American Idol's Last Woman Standing Release iTunes Exclusive on May 12th, 2008

Los Angeles, CA- On May 12th two-time Grammy Award nominee Boney James and current American Idol Top 3 finalist Syesha Mercado join forces to release the soulful uptempo groover "Gonna Get It" exclusively on iTunes. Written by James and critically acclaimed R&B singer-songwriter Rahsaan Patterson, "Gonna Get It" pairs the multi-instrumentalist, songwriter and producer James with the last woman standing on American Idol - seductive songstress Syesha Mercado. Says James: "The first time I saw Syesha perform, I was incredibly impressed. 'Gonna Get It' seemed like a perfect fit for her. I'm really proud of how well she's doing on American Idol."

American Idol Songwriter Contest ~ Vote

It's that time of year again...time to sort through the pile of drivel (aka the 20 "best" songs) and vote for the most tolerable (aka the song your next American Idol will be saddled with, like it or not).

All of the songs sound like they were either written for Archie, He-Cook or She-Cook, with the exception of "Believe" which is R&B and doesn't work for any of them.

I recommend that you listen to the clips over at Rickey's blog before heading to vote because it's easier to sort through them that way. Voting ends April 23rd.

Since I'm rooting for David Cook FTW, my choices are as follows:

1) "You BelieveD in Me" (Not to be confused with "You Believe in Me") - The songwriter himself hit up the Word Nerds for votes because he knows its a good fit for our boy.

2) "Overcome"

3) "The Time of My Life"

4) "Align"

My pick for the WORST song is:

"Dream Big" - Not only does it have the worst title ever, but it's written for a female and we all know that ain't gunna happen.

What do you think of these songs? Any better than last year's choices?
