---Jamie Liddell
That's one of my favorite songs period. It's a very happy song and sometimes it describes how you feel.
Last night, I caught Elliot Yamin play a short, (very short) acoustic set at Smiths Olde Bar. For the price of admission at $18 and having to hear him play for roughly 30 minutes it almost didn't seem worth it. But when you think about how intimate it was, we were literally that close to him, saw him sweat it out, sing it out, etc and at the end he did a meet and greet, said hello, took pictures, it made it all worth it. It's always great to see artists right before they have their big break, grow wings and snub their fans. That moment when they suddenly care that you've come to see them and they really sing from the heart in an unpretentious heartfelt way. It's a moment every fan should live for. Even when they do make it big, it would still be nice for them to have short moments when they play small venues, give them a chance to connect and sing in tune, perform without the aid of pyrotechnics, backup dancers, the works, etc. It's always worth it.
In hindsight, I had a great time, pity it had to end early.

So sorry that I have to start a review on Elliot Yamin with a Jamie Liddell song but that's what was going through my mind at that time and Elliot's music was just the icing. His music is still good, very adult contemporary r&b.
