RE: Listen Up! 2013 perspective
I imagine sales in the Phillipines, will more than equal domestic sales where she has become a pop idol (they like Haley too btw, just not at the same sort of mega-star level -- Haley's petite size probably plays a role and they went gaga during idol over those expensive idol dresses.. even the 75 year old great aunts) American Idol is almost tailor made for their culture (it's family orientated , they love the whole nature of celebreties and things like brands with a buzz)
Also - (more important on a domestic level) Jessica's music is mainstream dance music . It's got a different target listener - I'm not sure if the music on the album is reflective of what she'll write or work on later.
ON that note!
Lauren Alaina is really growing up. I love seeing that transition in women.. one of lifes sort of special things. I remember how much better the 'girls' looked at my 10 year high school re-union when they're 27 instead of 17.
I think Lauren has also really embraced her roll having the presence of a Celbrety and looking the part. I know that isn't everything but it has a "feel good" aspect to it and.. I like to feel good -might be cloying to others but a happy nature is never cloying to me as long as the smile fits the person behind it (sure they might "rally " themselves into their best mood to hit the stage -- but it is theirs.
I thought her line about Ryan's question about "Buckwild" and her little naughty twinkle along with the "you'll have to ask my Dad" was hilarious. Yeah.. maybe it's your typical variety show "schtik" dating back to Ed Sullivan through Flip Wilson and Tony Orlando and Dawn but ... that sort of pleasant repartee .. like you'd have a a coctail party etc. make me feel good.
Did I say it already ? Boy Lauren looked sexy! She looked more like 20 to be honest which is the cut-off age I think for me to allow myself to oogle a little bit. Jessica hasn't quite "flourished" that way yet although she's getting there... another year or two for it to feel right.
