Welcome to the post that reveals Becky's celebrity crushes. Okay this post is going to embarrass me completely, but that's okay. You know why? Because everyone has these ridiculous crushes, and don't you even try to deny it! I know you do. So let's bring mine out. Starting with actors....
James Marsden. I think this picture says it all, but in case you need more excuses here it goes...James Marsden is awesome because he is versatile. From Enchanted to Hairspray to 27 Dresses (which I actually hate except for the parts with him) to X-Men to Saved by the Bell (he's in a few episodes) to horror movies that I don't watch he can do it all. Plus he's got a great smile and gorgeous eyes. Oh yeah and he can sing. So he wins.
Gene Kelly. The gentleman. The singing. The dancing. The smile full of dimples. Maybe I've had a crush on Gene Kelly since I was a little girl and watched Singing in the Rain. I just love his voice, it's so simple but still
gorgeous. Then he starts to dance! Just when I thought he couldn't get any better I saw this clip: Gene Kelly. (It gets good 2 min in.) Okay so maybe there's all this gossip that he wasn't nice and maybe he's dead. But come on, can't a girl dream?
So of course I have plenty other little crushes on actors, but I think these two are the biggest and the ones I'm least ashamed of. Now let's move on to my musician crushes. Turns out Lance from NSYNC is gay, but that crush was so 10 years a go and these men are way cooler.
Meet Benton Paul. I first heard him when he opened for David Archuleta. I really like his simple style of music and I love his lyrics. I may or may not have heard him live 5 times. Not because I'm a crazy weirdo fan, but because it's always cheap and convenient. Here's a picture from the other day when he came to Rexburg to do a show. Here's one of my favorite songs: I Only See You.
William Joseph. I first heard his music when Chrissy and I were driving to a concert about six years a go. Now I have both of his CDs, and one of his books. I think his music is just so beautiful. I was so excited when I found out he was coming to BYU-Idaho last fall. Best. Concert. Ever. Seriously it was incredible! I hope he comes again. Here's one of my favorite songs of his: A Mother's Heart.
There are my musician crushes. Justin Bieber made a close third. Just kidding. Next section - dancing crushes. So normal people wouldn't have a section for their favorite dancing celebrities, but since when have I been normal? Plus when you watch So You Think You Can Dance faithfully you're bound to get a few crushes. So here are the dancing men crushes:
Twitch. Twitch was probably my favorite dancer ever on So You Think You Can Dance. He always had the coolest solos, he did pretty well in all genres, and he had an awesome personality. Plus since the show he's actually gone places! He was on Hairspray, Step up 3, Stomp the Yard 2, and an episode of Bones. (I can't believe I suffered through that. What a boring show.) I just love watching Twitch dance. Also "I want to bake cookies on his stomach." (Please know what I'm quoting.) Here's a sample of why he is awesome: Twitch Solo.
Neil Haskell. Neil is my second favorite dancer (maybe 1st?) to be on So You Think You Can Dance. You want to talk about awesome personalities? He wins. Seriously he was so funny and oh boy he is an amazing dancer! Since the show he's been on one awesome movie (The American Mall), now he just needs to be in more! I couldn't find one dance that was my favorite of him and showed off his talent completely, but I think this is a fun dance: Neil and Sara disco.
So there you have it. My celebrity crushes. Am I embarrassed? Extremely, but I know you have them too!
I love Neil. So so so much. I think I love him more than any other guy on this list...and it's a good list. But really, I love Neil. I'm kind of incoherent at this point cuz I can't think beyond how much I love Neil.
ReplyDeleteDid I mention I love Neil? Cuz I do.

ReplyDeleteLove the Gene Kelly clip! You have a great list if crushes. Thank you for including all the clips, too!
ReplyDeleteFunny- it looks like Barbara, Chrissy and I were all looking at your blog at the same time. Love the Gene Kelly clip- seriously, what talent! And I also especially agree with you about James Marsden and William Joseph. I hadn't heard that song before. Can I borrow your 2nd CD of his sometime?
ReplyDeleteP.S. Don't you love the cheap concerts at BYU-I?!
Neil! Me too, Becky. Me too.
