I Alone

Glam fans, I'm beat.

Sometimes a great song is enough to pull me out of a sad state. The other day I was listening to classic Heart. Ann and Nancy Wilson are a very talented duo, and they churned out some great glam in their day. Some of their best known hits include "What About Love," "Crazy on You," "Never" and "These Dreams."

Guess what? Rockstar Supernova contestant Jill Gioia also performed the song. Here's her version:
