BARBARA & THORNETTA @ THE INAUGURAL YOUTH BALL WITH KID ROCK!
So I'm flipping channels and I get to VH1 and there you singing with Kid Rock, it's like you were right here in my living room. But if you had been here in my living room there would have been some tequila poured, then you would have forgotten some words, slurred some lyrics, lost your gig, and it would've been all my fault.
Yo Barbara Payton, Whenever I listen to your music. I feel like singing too. But your talent is unmatched. How much time you spend to rehearse per day Barbara Payton? Love ya. Di PS:Follow Me Twitter at http://twitter.com/iaent
