Gentle Readers . . . and Maxwell,
Our December 15, 2015, Battle of the Bands consisted of Mariah Carey v. Olivia Olson on a song Mariah helped to create: All I Want For Christmas Is You. I know Mariah Carey has a lot of fans, but I thought young Olivia would runaway with this battle because she was an adorable little girl and because everybody has to love Love Actually and all the love in it. I love Love Actually. I love love.
Boy, was I wrong. We finished the battle this way:
Mariah Carey 16
Olivia Olson16
Wow! I get to break the tie. Easy peasy lemon squeezy. I give my vote to
Olivia Olson!
Our next Battle of the Bands will take place on the first day of the new year. 2016, here we come.
Dance us out, please, Prime Minister Hugh Grant.
Infinities of love,
Janie Junebug

I love this scene, LOL! And who can blame him? It's impossible NOT to dance to the Pointer Sisters!
ReplyDeleteI sing and dance around the house wearing my undies because Madonna and I are the same age. That's kind of scary. She has fame and adulation. I have love. She has tons of money. I have two adopted dogs. I'll keep what I have, including the palmetto bug I found in my closet a while ago. He's hiding, but I'll find a way to kill him.
DeleteLove that video from Love Actually.
ReplyDeleteI'd dance with Hugh Grant.
DeleteFor some reason I drew a measure of comfort from you being the ultimate arbitrator. No argument here. Though, I may be burned out on Love Actually. This is not the movie's problem, it's my problem. I can't look at Hugh Grant without thinking about his predilection for prostitutes or at Andrew Lincoln and not think about The Walking Dead.
ReplyDeleteI don't know who Andrew Lincoln is. I've never seen The Walking Dead. Hugh Grant and the prostitute thing has always stayed in my mind. I was surprised to learn he's had four children with two different women. I enjoy Love Actually, but I think I've seen it enough times to last me a while.
DeleteI watched this movie again on the weekend-Such a great movie and glad Olivia won
ReplyDeleteShe's adorable, and the boy who plays Sam is such a cutie pie.
DeleteI'm not a Hugh Grant fan, but love a white shirt with black slacks - it does something to me. LOL, Janie - you are too much.
ReplyDeleteGreat Battle!!! See you in January.
Love, love, Dixie
I quite often wear black and white. Don't let it do anything to you.
DeleteI lost in a tie. Oh well, better luck next time.
ReplyDeleteI have never seen this film before. I may have to check it out.
It's a romantic dramady that's become a Christmas favorite. I like it, but I've seen it enough times to last me a while.
