So I raved about Christina Aguilera's performance on the Idol finale last week of a song off her upcoming album Bionic (due June 8). Even if you're not a fan, check out the song in the video below. I think it's crazy awesome and she is memsmerizing to watch; she interprets the hell out of that song.
As I've been replaying this song over and over the last few days, I wondered what genius had sat down at a piano and plunked it out. Found out last night - Australian singer/songwriter Sia, about whom I'm sure I've blogged at least once. Her last album, Some People Have Real Problems, came out in January of '08 and is fantastic; she's a little quirky, definitely has her own sound, and a serious set of pipes. "You Lost Me" has her stamp all over it. I'm stoked! I love it when a music collaboration comes out so right. I only have to wait like ten days to get the album version and that still feels like way too long.

Happy Sunday! I have absolutely nothing on my plate, so I might drive to Old Navy and try on some dresses; I wanna have at least one for my trip!

Muah, sweetie
So glad you posted this.
I have watched American Idol since it began. It almost feels as if all that watching was leading to Aguilera's performance which was on a different plane than anything prior, and there were some grand moments over the years.
I haven't been keeping up with Idol, so thanks for the clip! Christina is still such an amazing singer! What a beautiful song.

I'll check out Sia on Rhapsody. Happy Sunday (from Don on Monday!) time-traveling on the www.
