August, 2005 August 3rdEveryone is studying INXS songs like crazy -- why? Because everyone kicked ass at the show and none of us know who will end up in the bottom three. I felt really good about "Message in a Bottle" and hope it was enough to give me another week without having to fight for my life. I look around at everyone and can't imagine any of us being sent home at this point.
July, 2005 July 21stI’m beginning to feel like a cat whose lives are being used up at a weekly rate. Yesterday I stood again in the bottom three and again managed to save myself.
Neal: July, 2005 July 20th On " Paranoid" and Rock Redemption:
Last night I sang "Paraniod" by Black Sabbath, decided on thigh high leather boots and a very tight dress! Finally I feel like I got to really rock a song I love and do what I actually do. Andrew gave me a standing ovation (hurrah) and it seems I have eclipsed "Take it easy's " country vibe. More rock to come.
On being homesick:
Sometimes you just need to talk to the ones who know you best and hear that you are truly loved unconditionally. There is so much love around here, but our history is just beginning- I miss the hugs and kisses filled with time and insight. Only two weeks and already I'm homesick.
In many ways being here is like being on the road. You're watched and loved by many, propped up and told you're wonderful, but alone in your experience and far from home.
Everyone is in my heart and I am in yours I know, love keeps me alive here.
July, 2005 July 14thWonderful Surprise (For Daphna on her Birthday)
It's a gray summer Thursday
But my heart isn't blue There's no rain that can touch me When I wake up in the morning next to you. Just like the rain in California
She's a wonderful surprise And she dreams of jewels in colours
Eyes in green, heart of gold Lips are soft with satin kisses Just like the sweetest story ever told On being inches away from elimination:
I don't think I can quite describe the feeling of horror that came over me when Brooke announced that I was one of the bottom three contestants. I've been working as a musician for a years and I've had a pretty successful career, so to have that questioned in such a public way felt like my world had been turned upside down. After the initial shock, though, a strange sense of calm came over me. (Okay, not that calm) Maybe just a simple sense of determination. Things in that moment were straightforward and clear: sing my ass off or get on a plane. And for some reason I was less nervous during that performance than I had been for the previous two.
Now that my ass has been narrowly saved, I feel a new sense of life and resolution. I know that I just have to be myself and I will get the job done. Be prepared to meet Tara Slone for the first time, again.
To my family, friends and fans:
Yes, last week was pretty hard for me (as you can gather). I know all of you were having heart palpitations during Wednesday's show… I am more determined than ever to show the world who I am and what I can do. I am relatively relaxed and in a very good headspace. So please don't worry about me. I love and miss you all and feel you in my heart.
p.s. Keep voting!! July, 2005 Rock Star:INXSI tend to over think things. I have been driving myself nuts trying to anticipate what is to come. But expectations are such a dangerous thing - life is full of surprises and NOT getting what you expect. Really, I would like my experience on "Rock Star: INXS" to be one of total openness and jumping without a parachute. Late one night, I decided to write down the way I would like to handle myself on the show and ultimately, my life. Here are the words I would like to live by: I will create my day Oh, yeah. I will also have fun... |
