This week’s Friday Five topic is favorite songs. When it comes to music, I have trouble sticking to a number restriction. So, here are my top six!

1. “The Dance”-Garth Brooks

Garth is my absolute favorite, and I love the message of this song! All of his songs are great, but I have loved this one for so long!

2. “Just Missed the Train”-Kelly Clarkson

Kelly is so awesome, and I’ve loved this song from the first time I heard it!

3. “I Hope You Dance”-Lee Ann Womack

This song has such a great message! I have the lyrics hanging above my bed!

4. “So Small”

This song got me through a difficult time my senior year of college. I had it as my ringtone for awhile, and I also have the lyrics hanging above my bed. Very inspirational song!

5. “In Christ Alone”-Avalon

I have loved this song since the very first time I heard it in church. I searched iTunes and found Avalon’s version, and I love it!

6. “God Must Have Spent a Little More Time On You”-*NSYNC

Y’all know my list wouldn’t be complete without an *NSYNC song! :)

2010 ACMs Best & Worst Dressed

ashleylately — Mon, 19 Apr 2010 19:40:00 +0000

I absolutely loooove awards shows, especially when it is for country music! The Academy of Country Music awards are always great, and last night pretty awesome. So excited for Carrie Underwood winning Entertainer of the Year for the second year in a row! She is the only female ever to win twice!Along with great awards, there were also some great dresses! Here are a few of my favorites!

As always, gotta love my girl Carrie!

She wore this when she sang “Temporary Home”. I would looove to wear this dress!

Laura Bell Bundy

Lindsey Vonn

Miranda Lambert-She is usually not one of my favorites when it comes to dresses, but she looked really pretty last night!

Taylor Swift

All of these were great, but my pick for best dressed is…

Hillary Scott from Lady Antebellum!

Loved this dress! The color is so pretty and she looked awesome! So excited for all of Lady A’s wins too!

Now, on to the worst dressed.

Gretchen Wilson

Seriously? She can’t even put on a dress for something like the ACMs?

Faith Hill

She is so gorgeous, so why would she pick something like this? Not great!

And, my choice for worst dressed is…

Nicole Kidman

Seriously, Nicole? Seriously? I just don’t get it. She is so gorgeous, but every time she attends an awards show with Keith, she looks hideous.

One last picture for all you ladies!

Eddie Cibrian

Yes, I know he’s a cheater and a homewrecker, but you can’t deny how gorgeous he his! I know Jessica agrees with me!

Anyone else watch the show last night? Who are your picks for best and worst dressed?

10 Tracks I’m Loving Right Now

ashleylately — Thu, 04 Feb 2010 03:50:00 +0000

I occasionally read a blog on CMT.com by a girl named Allison called “10 Tracks I’m Digging Right Now”. She not only lists current songs, but also older stuff she’s discovering or rediscovering. She also talks about why she is enjoying these songs. I love reading what she has to say and checking out some of the songs she recommends, so I decided to do my own lists! I love music, and I love discovering new music, so I wanted to share the music I love with “Blog Land”. Since I think the word ‘digging’ is a little goofy, I’m going to call my list “10 Tracks I’m Loving Right Now”. Here is what I’m listening to this week!

“Terrified” by Kathairne McPhee featuring Jason Reeves

Katharine just released her second CD, and it is completely different than her first one. This song quickly became my favorite on the album. Jason Reeves’ added vocals sound really awesome with Katharine’s voice. Love it!

Album: Unbroken

“Pink Guitar” by Reba McEntire

I love love love Reba! Who doesn’t enjoy listening to her stuff? She is always fantastic, and this song is super cute!

Album: Keep On Loving You

“Love Song” by Miranda Lambert featuring Charles Kelley

Really really love this song! Charles Kelley from Lady Antebellum sings background vocals, and their voices sound fantastic together. Great lyrics too!

Album: Revolution

“The Man I Want To Be” by Chris Young

This is a really beautiful song with really powerful lyrics. Chris has a really awesome voice too!

Album: The Man I Want To Be

“Ready To Love Again” by Lady Antebellum

This is one of my favorite songs on their new album. I could list nearly every song on their album on this list! If you haven’t heard their new stuff, you should check it out! Awesome stuff!

Album: Need You Now

“Lie” by David Cook

I heard this song for the first time when he performed it on Carrie Underwood’s Christmas special. I don’t know what it is about this song that I like, but it has become one of my favorites of the moment.

Album: David Cook

“Brand New Key” by Katharine McPhee

Another favorite song on Katharine’s new CD. This song is unlike anything I’ve ever heard her sing, and I love it! It is very cute and bubbly.

Album: Unbroken

“Only Prettier” by Miranda Lambert

I laughed out loud the first time I heard this song! It’s kind of an “I don’t like you, but let’s agree to disagree” kind of song, told by a southern girl. She sings about how a southern girl doesn’t have to be hateful, she can just say “bless your heart”. We should all get along because we southern girls are just like anyone else, only prettier!

Album: Revolution

“Keep On Lovin’ You” by Steel Magnolia

This song is from a brand new country duo. They won this last season of CMT’s “Can You Duet”. I don’t watch the show, but I stumbled across their song when I was playing around on iTunes, and I really like it! They have unique voices, and the song is really cute. They don’t have a CD out yet, but I look forward to new music from them!

“Unapologize” by Carrie Underwood

There’s really no way I could get through a post about music without mentioning something by Carrie! This song is from her new album. It is about letting ‘I love you’ slip out, quickly apologizing, then taking back the apology because you really meant what you said. It has cute, fun lyrics, and is one of my favorites!

Album: Play On

That’s it for this post! If anyone is listening to these songs or checks them out after reading this, I would love to hear what you think about them!
