The 80s Rock!

American Idol celebrated the 80s this week. Oh how I love music from the 80s!!

I didn't get to watch the guys last night:( The girls rocked tonight though! I think the first girl that sang I wanna Dance With Somebody might be the one to go Thurs. Either her or Ramielle (sp?)

Here is a layout I made for the Challenge at Faith Sisters that was just posted tonight.
