I'm bored.

Tonight, I'm bored but still somewhat content. And when I'm bored, sometimes I youtube random crap.

Let me also start this by saying that I am known to sometimes get sucked into reality shows, which is kinda shameful but whatever. Judge me! :)

Currently I am in love with The Voice.  The first season I wasn't sold on, but the second season, I'm all over it.  I'm currently obsessed with Chris Mann, "The Opera Guy", so I was youtubing him. 

I came across one of his performances, which is a rendition of "Bridge Over Troubled Water," and I've watched is several times now within the last hour. I LOVE it.

I know, I'm a loser.

But the funny thing about it, is A. Quite honestly, I'm not totally fond of the original of this song (Sorry S&G!) and B. In the past, I was also (and still am) obsessed with Clay Aiken's version of it too, from when he was on American Idol back in the day. I think part of the whole experience is watching their emotion and energy they put into the music as well.

What is it with me, "Bridge" song, and reality shows?  Not quite sure.  But literally, when I watch the performances on youtube, I can't just watch it once.  I also sometimes tear up a little.

Ok, it's time to close this nerdy post, but first of course, I'll share the links here so you can listen and be the judge too, and I'd love to hear what you have to say about it.  But if you hate them, be easy on my home boys.

Here is Chris Mann's version of the song 
(Sorry, the audio is slightly weird for this one)

And here's Clay Aiken's version.    Do you have a favorite?

Now if you'll excuse me, I'm going to go watch Chris Mann's version about 5 Bazillion more times.
