There’s a big difference between hype and excitement

If this blog was at all interested in hype, I’d be giving out ratings with decimals

Hey, the “hype” gets to me too, and I can totally relate. The girl is pretty talented though. I’m just glad you know that elves are real.

@Gabe:
How do I know what an elf sounds like? Peter Jackson’s Lord Of The Rings, my friend!

Anyhoo, she’s obviously not my cuppa and I tend find all the breathless hyperbole for her limited talents a bit much, hence my tendency to mock. However, under 2001′s Internet Directive #728, otherwise known as YMMV, you are free to subject yourself to her aural “charms” to your heart’s content

Well, that song is just fucking awful. Or in other words, about exactly what I expected from that ridiculously overhyped elf. 2 and a half hours and 3 discs, you say? No thanks. I’d rather have have my ears removed with a cheese grater.
