Why in the world do I remember that song well predating Underwood? Am I just remembering the concept, and have tacked the song on with it? Is there another song out there that has a similar premise that I’m getting mixed up?

Because I’ve always thought that song must’ve been written in the 80s or 90s, and “remember” hearing it before I graduated high school in 2003.

Huh. To me, Lovato is very generic looking and hard to recognize without context, but Selena still has that same baby face look with bigger lips and baby cheeks–a face I can’t forget.

People I mix up are the B-list actresses that all look the same. I can’t even tell you their names, because I never remember them. I’m talking the people who would show up on Craig Ferguson’s show.

I also recently thought Kristen Bell was Gillian Jacobs for a bit–due to the context of being on a show with Joel McHale. I’d never had them looking alike in my head, but I guess they do when their hair is the same.

Now? I guess. But before Clarkson gained the weight, I would pick her, hands down. Unfortunately, she seems to be the type whose weight goes straight to her face, covering up how cute it is.

Underwood always had a very generic face, but she also looks nearly the same. Looking through pics, it looks like she’s had a bit of tightening up work done, while I doubt Clarkson has.
