Pretty Person of the Week!

This week we have someone super special. He's someone I've talked about on here before, though not in a while....Darren Hayes.
So one the one hand he's absolutely gorgeous. He's got beautiful eyes, a super-hot jawline...you know how facial features get me. Every time.

The hottest thing though? His VOICE! Dear lord, a voice like that does not belong in a human throat -- it's divine. One of the reasons for doing him today, the day after Valentine's Day, is because he's forever entwined with romance in my mind. Not because I want to romance him (although I totally would) but because the only thing in my head for my hopefully-someday wedding is that he absolutely MUST sing at it. I don't care if he frikkin' sings "Unloveable" (an amazing song!), he's gonna sing at my wedding. :-P

You may recall him from the '90s, the lead singer for the Australian band Savage Garden. Their first album sold 11 million copies worldwide. Yeah, you try selling that many. Their second album did not do badly at all either (I don't know the numbers though). Then they split -- and it wasn't long before Darren launched a solo career. For some reason that I cannot for the life of me figure out, his first album Spin is universally considered a flop. Granted, it has nothing on The Tension & the Spark, his second album in which he absolutely shines, but seriously. Why every single person on the planet did not buy both those albums as soon as they were released is beyond me.
Granted, it may have had to do with the same reason why I'm forced to listen to him on YouTube, his Myspace, and Yahoo! Music...the fact that I can't find his CDs anywhere.



Listening to the tones of his voice also seems to have healing properties on me. Well, usually it does...I've been trying that tactic all day, and I'm still waiting. But it will work, it cannot fail! (Or I'll just take some cold medicine since I just got some.)

In the end though, sorry to have put you through all this temptation but he's married to his beau and living in the UK (London, I do believe). That means we are all S.O.L...excepting, of course, that we still get to hear his voice.
I might just give up the wedding dream if I managed to hear him at least once, though at the wedding would be absolutely the best. You know, man I love, friends I love, family I love, me I love, and oh yeah, voice I love too. Works for me.

He is, however, performing in New York at Joe's Pub on March 28, so if you're in that area DEFINITELY do whatever it takes (short of murder, theft, pillaging, etc) to get there. Tickets just went on sale yesterday (Wednesday, V-Day) at noon. I'm willing to bet they're going fast too. I'd totally have a ticket except I sincerely doubt I can get away from school to go see him.

PS Too late. Joe's Pub is already sold out. Whoops.
