The ONLY good thing about that commercial IS Josie! Thanks for sharing, menu-select. If Josie got that close to me, I'd probably have a heart-attack, but I'd die with a smile on my face.

Amy has a concert avail to watch at http://music.msn.com/inconcert

Thanks, menu-select.

Thanks for the wallpapers. Very nice!

Happy Birthday to the Members who share my birthdate ( 12/17 ).

Can you interpret the text on that pic????

Several years ago, I was hooked on watching the Univision Network. I saw Thalia in telenovelas, interview shows, and musical programs. I thought she was amazing! I don't know how she is as a person, but she seemed like a sweet angel. She had a sweet voice, a precious smile, and a child-like giggle. I enjoyed her older Spanish tunes, but haven't kept up with her newer stuff.

I watched Enrique's concert last night. His voice and the music were incredible. I even enjoyed hearing a few songs that I didn't really like when they were on the radio. The live versions are so much better. Check it out.

There is a Maroon 5 concert avail at http://music.msn.com/inconcert

http://music.msn.com/inconcert You can watch one of his concerts.

Enrique's concert from Nov 6th will be available on MSN, starting at 2pm Eastern Time on Thurs, Dec 13th. You can watch it anytime after then. http://music.msn.com/inconcert Enjoy!

NJ beat Washington tonight. That's 9 Wins in a Row! The Devils are Hot!!!

You guys do know that Deryck is married to Avril Lavigne, right? Lucky guy! One of the songs on Avril's MySpace page is "With Me" by Sum41. It sounds really good. She has the entire song, while Sum41 only has a clip of the song on their page. I wish they were going to be the opening act on her tour.

I finally solved the problem with MSN Concerts. It wasn't the site, afterall. I kept playing with the settings in WMP. I changed my Connection Speed from Auto-Detect to DSL/384Kbps, and it worked. The concert was really good. Naturally, most of her songs were meant to be done in a faster pace, but still it was nice to hear them a little slower. Her voice really did shine during most of them. The concert is still available, if you haven't seen it yet. I guess it will always be a part of MSN's Concert Archive.

Get over to http://music.msn.com/shakira and watch her Oral Fixation Concert. It's the premier of her DVD. Es Muy Caliente!!! She looks so hot, especially with her reddish-brown hair. And her voice is absolutely amazing! The concert will be viewable after today, if you can't make it over. It will be part of MSN's Concert Archive. I fell in love with Shakira back in '96. I had gotten hooked on Spanish TV & Music, and I saw her on an awards show. She had fiery-red hair, and the prettiest smile. She got up on stage, and just blew me away. I bought her then-current CD "Donde Estan Los Ladrones", and literally listened to it every single day for 2 months. I've never gotten tired of hearing it.

NJ just beat Atlanta, 3-2, in a Shoot-Out. The streak is now at 7 games, maddog.

Thanks for sharing, menu-select. I keep forgetting to check Josie's Blog. She shared some really good ideas for Christmas, and showed that she has a sweet heart.

Thanks, Sanja. Can I share your link with members in Avril's forum?

Now we have a 6-game streak! NJ beat Montreal 4-0 tonight! Marty got another shut-out, and Zach Parise got his very first Hat-Trick. What a night!

Avril was interviewed after her performance on DWTS. She talks about her new tour: full of energy, costume changes to reflect her many different styles from the past to the present, a couple of songs with just her & a guitar, and a couple of songs with dancers - not the whole show as had been rumored. She'll also be touring for the entire year, so that means she'll be heading to places outside U.S./Canada. Check it out. (Thanks go to dumbhead at the Forum in www.avrillavigne.com)

I watched a good game on Wed. The Dallas Stars were riding a 6-game winning streak. They jumped on NJ with 2 early goals, but that only "awakened a sleeping giant". NJ stormed back with 4 unanswered goals to win game. The Devils now have a 5-game winning streak.

Avril performed in concert on Oct 16th. It was at The Roxy Theater in LA. She did an acoustic-type style. She wanted the chance to present her songs and her voice in a bit more of an adult-contemporary setting. She sounded really good, and so did the songs. They were still close to "Rockin", and not like an easy-listening genre. But, if she continues to evolve as she ages, she will still be having hit records at 40. I hope so. The concert was re-broadcast on MSN Music yesterday, but there was a problem with the Website. The pre-concert commercial played just fine, but the concert video kept pausing while it was loading. I eventually got tired of the interruptions, and closed it. My DSL Modem was showing constant activity, and changing the Buffer Settings in Windows Media Player didn't make any difference. Has anyone else had any experience with MSN Concerts? http://music.msn.com/inconcert They appear to have an archive of concerts, but I'm not sure if you can watch them whenever you want, or just when they present them.

Did anyone see Josie on DWTS last Tue night? I was on vacation Monday, so Tues felt like Mon. I forgot to watch it.

Shi Yan reported that Josie will be dancing again on DWTS this Tues, Nov 27th. It's the Season Finale. They will feature all the contestants, and then announce the winner. I just hope they are nicer to her this time.
