Obsessedddddddd!

Last week, the hubs and I saw Jason Aldean in concert. To say I am obsessed with his music is a vast understatement. He's the first artist in years whose lyrics speak to me. It seems like we have lived parallel lives and his lyrics are so relatable (is that even a word?!?!).

Here we are at the concert:

I think we both look silly! Hubby looks way excited and I look like Jay Leno's daughter.....seriously, a bad angle on my chin! I also look slightly Asian..what is up with my eyes?

Whatever......we had a blast, despite every bathroom in the arena FLOODING during the concert. Seriously, one of the grossest things ever is having to pee in the men's bathroom where 13,000 other people have peed. Narsty!

Do you guys love Jason Aldean? If you haven't heard much of his non-radio hits, buy the CD. You won't regret it. My hubby doesn't even really like country music and he LOVES him!

I am really digging the new duet by Kelly Clarkson and Jason Aldean. If you haven't heard it, you can hear it here: Don't You Wanna Stay?

If you click on the link, not only will you hear a great song, but you will also see Carrie Underwood introducing the song at the CMAs and she looks so cute.....she is rocking that orange dress. I just love Carrie Underwood!

As I was driving back from Court today, I heard this duet on the radio. This got me to thinking about my all time favorite duets (see, I even make lists as I am driving down the road.....told you I was a brilliant multi-tasker)!!!

Here are my top 5 choices:

1. Whiskey Lullaby by Alison Krauss and Brad Paisley. I don't really need an explanation for this do I? Have you heard the song? The lyrics alone are enough to make it a fantastic song, but then you add Alison Krauss' voice and the song is heart wrenching.
2. Islands in the Stream by Kenny Rogers and Dolly Parton. I had this record when I was a kid and I loved it. Had no idea what the words meant, but I loved this song back in the day. Love it even more today than I did then. Definitely a tune I crank up in the car and sing at the top of my lungs into my pretend cell phone/microphone.
3. Louisiana Woman, Mississippi Man by Conway Twitty and Loretta Lynn.  You can't go wrong when you combine two great artists like these two.  Many great duets by them, but this is my favorite.
4. Time of my Life by Bill Medley and Jennifer Warnes: This should be self explanatory for anyone who knows me. Dirty Dancing is the best movie ever hands down. I don't particularly care that it never won any major awards and that it's a chick flick. That movie is awesome. I dare anyone to say otherwise. The soundtrack is equally as good as the movie, if not better.
5. Tied for fifth due to their propensity to be sang in a number of karaoke bars by people with dreadful voices like myself: Picture by Kid Rock and Sheryl Crow. Lyrically, just a great song and From this Moment by Shania Twain and Bryan White. The re-recorded version Shania sang by herself just wasn't as good as the duet.
