Quotes:

You're spoiling me! But I like it.

I lost a lot out of my teenagehood but I gained a lot too. I can't really say that I lost because I got ahead of everyone as far as career and being more mature about business, even though I didn't know what the heck was going on.

I'm nervous. I usually don't get nervous for shows, but I am nervous tonight. See, I'm too honest. (laughs) I'm too honest for my own good.

And I'd like to thank Grupo Los Dinos, because when I win, they win. And when they lose...I don't know 'em.

Siempre, siempre, siempre, siempre
Siempre, siempre, siempre, sí
Siempre, siempre, siempre, siempre
Siempre, siempre, siempre, ay

Nonsensical Song Lyrics:

"Dreaming of You"
The Nonsensical Lyrics:
Late at night, when all the world is sleeping
Why They're Nonsensical:
It sounds good in the song, but it's inaccurate; it's nighttime on one half of the world while it's daytime on the other, so only about half the world is sleeping at a time.
Submitted by: Da Phoenix
"Give Me One More Chance"
The Nonsensical Lyrics:
Please be kind
And I know you'll find
It's so easy to forgive
I know that it's hard
To forgive and forget
Why They're Nonsensical:
So which is it, easy or hard to forgive?

The Misrhymed Lyrics:
You've gotten to this heart of mine

Darlin', I'm starting to find
Why They're Misrhymed:
Close, but no cigar.
Submitted by: Da Phoenix
"I'm Getting Used to You"
The Misrhymed Lyrics:
Wasn't like me to fall in love
That's just the way that I was
Why They're Misrhymed:
Last time I checked, 'v' and 's' sounds didn't sound at all alike.

What A Band is Best Known For (aside from their music):

"Being the namesake of another performer"
Mandy Dawn Cornett must have been a fan, because she named her daughter, Selena Gomez, after this singer whose life was tragically cut short.
Submitted by: emma
"Was murdered by president of her fan club!"
This young Tex-Mex singer had the misfortune of catching her fan club's president in dishonest dealings and paid the ultimate price. Where I lived at the time, her popularity wasn't so well known and it was through her sensational and ironic demise that I first heard of her. And there must be a lot of others to whom she was unknown in her lifetime, so that her tragic death was similarly how they first heard of her.
