Kelly Clarkson -- Unreleased Song - [[VIDEO]]!!!!

Kelly Clarkson released her third album, My December, this past June, 2007. Yet, the album was void of one of her really catchy songs "Go," which was featured in the Ford car commercials, Just in case you haven't heard of it, check out the video below, full length version-video remix!!

Lyrics
Breathe in, breathe out,
Restless, waiting for anything,
Tension is thick in the air
Are you gonna lead or follow me?
Full speed, turn up the overdrive,
Makes me feel glad that I'm alive,
It's time we finally made our move,
So cmon, cmon, cmon now

Lets go,
Let's jump right in,
Scream into the wind,
Feel the fire within,
I can't ignore this burnin' in my soul,
Cmon baby let's go,
We might go fast,
We might go hard,
But I can take it,
I need to know, so come on baby go.

Fever, in my eye,
Starts racing back and forth in my mind,
I feel emotions rush through me,
Starts stirring such passion inside of me,
Are we regressing or taking flight,
Id rather be laughing
Than just stay quiet,
It's time to make a move,
It's time, we've nothing to lose,
So cmon, cmon, cmon now.

Let's go,
Let's jump right in,
Scream into the wind,
Feel the fire within,
I can't ignore this burnin in my soul,
C'mon baby lets go,
We might go fast,
We might go hard,
But I can take it,
I need to know, so come on baby, go.

No one to stand in our way,
And nothings holding us back,
Doesnt matter what they say it's just you and me,
I'm so glad it turns out what I didn't know and I was too scared to show,
Lose control of my soul
Cmon now!

Lets go,
Lets jump right in,
Scream into the wind,
Feel the fire within,
I can't ignore this burnin in my soul,
Cmon baby let's go,
We might go fast,
We might go hard,
But I can take it,
I need to know, so cmon baby, go,

Breathe in,
Breathe out,
Go,
Breathe in,
Go,
Breathe out.

Kelly Clarkson "Go"

Spotlight of the Day: Aly and AJ

If you haven't already, meet Aly and Aj Michalka, Disney's hottest set of siblings aside from the Sprouse twins (Zack and Cody)and Hannah Montana (Miley Cyrus). These teen pop stars raised in Torrance, California, knew they wanted to be singer/songwriters when they were just young girls. At the ripe ages of three and five, the two girls participated in the church choir, as well as school plays.

Alyson has appeared on Phil of the Future, a hit Disney television show, staring as one of the main characters, Keely Teslow, alongside Ricky Ullman. She began playing the piano at age six and picked up the guitar seven years later. Alyson began acting in small productions given by her church when she was just five years old. Now her acting repertoire includes Phil of the Future, Now You See It.., Cow Belles and Super Sweet 16: The Movie.

AJ (Amanda) is Alyson's younger sister by two years. Unlike Alyson, AJ specialized more in the acting field, staring in a myriad of musical productions at her church. She familiarized herself with several instruments such as the acoustic guitar, electric guitar, piano and bongos. Her list of acting gigs includes Cow Belles, Oliver Beene, Six Feet Under, The Guardian, Birds of Prey, Kitty's Dish, Passions and General Hospital.

Focusing on their the musical career, the two have released several songs for various films for Disney. Hits from their platinum CD, Into the Rush, include "No One," which was featured in the motion picture Ice Princess, "Do You Believe in Magic" and "Walking on Sunshine."

The girls have performed at several concerts and even opened for the Cheetah Girls in 2005 for the "Cheetah-licious Christmas Tour." Although they were nominated for Contemporary Inspirational Artist of the Year for the 2006 American Music Awards, they unfortunately did not take home the award.

In the early fall of 2006, their album Acoustic Hearts of Winter was released to the public. This album featured traditional Christmas songs such as "Joy to the World," "Greatest Time of Year," Silent Night" and "Not This Year."

MTV premiered their latest movie, Super Sweet 16:The Movie, this past Sunday, July 8, 2007. Two days later their newest album, Insomniatic was released in stores. Their first single, "Potential Breakup Song" has received a lot of attention from fans on the girls' official myspace page.

Spotlight of the Day: Lifehouse

Lifehouse rose to fame as a mainstream band in the United States consisting of three members, Jason Wade, Rick Woolstenhulme Jr. and Bryce Soderberg. Founded by lead singer Jason Wade, the band orginially consisted of Sergio Andrade and Jon Palmer, who later went on to tackle various other activities.

As a young 15-year-old boy, Wade was introduced to producer Ron Aniello, who helped Wade hone his singing and performance skills. In 1999, the band released their debut album under the band name "Blyss" entitled Diff's Lucky Day. Fortunately, record sales took off, selling hundreds off of eBay.

Just a year later, Lifehouse entered the recording studio to work on No Name Face. By the time the album was released, Wade and Andrade were the only two members left. Due to conflicts and limited focus, several members chose to seperate themselves from the band. Woolstenhulme eventually filled in for Palmer on the drums.

Evidently, "Sick Cycle Carousel" was the band's first single released , yet it was their hit "Hanging by a Moment" that stuck in the minds of their fans....and led them to where they are today. Shortly after their claim to fame moment, the band was back in the studio and released another album called Stanley Climbfall. Its success was shortilved with tracks such as "Spin" (still on the radio though!) and "Take Me Away." It was back to the drawing board for these boys. If they didn't come out with another knock-off hit or reinvent themselves, they could end up in the endless pile of one hit wonders.

By late 2004, Lifehouse gained another member, Soderberg, as their new bass guitarist. Their next album, self-titled Lifehouse, was produced by John Alagia (Mandy Moore!) and featured hits such as "You and Me" and "Blind."

Lifehouse recently debuted their fourth album entitled Who We Are. Fans and newcomers alike can listen to their most successful single since "Hanging by a Moment" titled "First Time." Catchy and memorable, the song was just what the band needed to stay in the spotlight. As of this summer (2007), the band is currently on tour with Goo Goo Dolls and plans to go on a world-wide headlining tour....so don't miss out on getting your Lifehouse tickets today!
