See you soon--have a great Friday!
Country Aircheck leaked the top 21 videos for GAC top 50. And Bucky was not in those. So cross you fingers and toes the Bucky appears between #22 and #38. ADW deserves to be on that countdown!
ReplyDeletebarely back lol just kind of copying press releases and posting hee hee
ReplyDeleteWell, that is so depressing, but hopeful, that Bucky has to be somewhere between #22 and #38. I hope we did not hurt his chances by having two songs to vote on..thus diluting his over all votes..perhaps we should have all voted for ADW.. This song so deserves this.
ReplyDeleteI don't think that voting for IGTBU diluted anything as far as ADW goes since everyone got 5 votes for different videos if they wanted. ADW was early in 2007 and IG2BU is late 2007 and both are excellent! I am thrilled that ADW is between #22 and #38..the ones # 39 through # 50 are all great videos and while top 10-top 20 would have been nice icing on the cake, ADW is going to make a great showing by being ahead of some really great other videos.
ReplyDeleteADW is #37!!
ReplyDeleteHey, all! Looks like the busy voting fingers paid off--very cool to see Bucky in the Top 50 for the year, isn't it?
ReplyDelete(And Kathy, we are so glad that you're feeling well enough to pop in and post, whether it's a press release or a photos--seeing you is reason enough to celebrate! :)
