feeling kind of dumb because I know so few of this songs, but will try to listen as much as I can to be an informed voter.
If it's any consolation I didn't know many of them either before I did some research!
Don't forget that the deadline is next Monday .. :)
Mr. Gimmetinnitus is coaching me, so I'm in good hands!
I just want to vote for my best choice. Panic at the Disco - Nine in the Afternoon
