In Sync

Lip sync contest was today. I totally didn't know that until Christina texted me and told me to go. Left the house at 6 to pick her up and go grab some unhealthy Taco Bell. We were both craving a taco salad last night around 10pm, but we decided to wait. She got the salad. I got me a pair of chalupas. Mmmmm. I wasn't that hungry and ended up only eating one and a bit of her salad. Taco salads totally defeat the point of salads. It's put in a huge chip bowl that screams calories and carbs, comes with a HUGE packet of sauce, has mexican rice on the bottom, and the "salad" leaves are just diced lettuce or something. It did taste pretty good though. Totally not worth the $4.99 + 9.25% CA tax.

Arrived at the lip sync contest exactly on time. Things didn't get started until 7ish. There were actually only 7 groups contesting, and from what other people say (this was my first lip sync contest) that was very very little. It was really short too. 4 groups went. A lot of black people were there. A ton. There were also 3 or 4 black groups. Kory Harper was in like 3 different performances.

First group up was Brandon Williams with Nicole Hayes doing some 70s sounding song. Brandon dressed up in black slacks and shoes, a white sports coat, and a baby blue shirt (wow, crisp memory...). Nicole had a Ramones shirt (the one with the US seal except with Ramones on it), a leather jacket, black leggings, and a pink frilly skirt. She danced and sang and Brandon fake played a keyboard on stage. They did some cheesy 70s music video moves and stuff and fake kissed. It wasn't all that great, but still funny.

Second group was a pair of black chicks I have never seen in my life doing a mix of black songs. They did really good. They won third.

Third group was all girls (except for Kory). They did a mix too. It was really creative. One girl was Scary Spice, one girl was Britney Spears, and one was an artist I can't remember. They all started out with this plastic sheet thing framed by pink that represented a Barbie box and the "I'm a Barbie Girl" song played. There was this fake cardboard radio, and halfway through the song they would each switch it and it would change to a song by that artist. It was pretty cool. Kory Harper walked onstage the last song and switched it to MC Hammer's "Can't Touch This" and they danced. It was aight.

I am way too lazy to describe the rest now, so I'll do the one's I liked.

Marcus was awesome. He did a song that I did not know, but he was really good. As always. Sad that he didn't win anything.

Miguel's group did a crazy mix of Queen (Ride My Bicycle, Bohemian Rhapsody, We Are the Champions), some hip hop songs and others all together. They were really really well coordinated and they had the best lip syncing and energy. They deserved to win 1st place.

It ended really early, around 7:40, and when Thy told Christina that she thought So You Think You Can Dance was on at 8, not 9 Christina made me rush her home so she could catch it.

Went home and I ended up finishing up econ notecards. The last I'll ever do. Tear.
