Watch 0:36-1:08 AGAIN!
This whole set from Carnival is amazing! I was able to see it live and the energy in the room was crazy. But I need help describing the part from 0:36-1:08. There isn’t a word in my vocabulary that does that part justice. I can’t stop watching! Can anyone think of a word besides amazing, sick, dope, ridiculous, etc? Help me!
Thanks to Pacific Rim Video for the great view!

LindseyB & Alison Represent for Beat Freaks at the Grammys
There were some really great performances last night on the 52nd Annual Grammy Awards, including the 3D tribute to Michael Jackson performed by Celine Dion, Usher, Carrie Underwood, and Jennifer Hudson. The one performance that had everyone talking was Pink’s high-flying rendition of “Glitter In The Air,” which earned her one of the largest standing ovations of the night. Ryan Seacrest called it a “game-changing performance” in his early-morning radio show. Of course, the Beat Freaks’ own Alison Faulk did an amazing job.
LindseyB was also part of the Black Eyed Peas performance that had the crowd dancing on their feet. Can anyone spot Lindsey?
