Alexz Johnson, forever my Insant Star.

There once was a Canadian TV show called Instant Star. The show revolved around Jude Harrison, a young teenager who wins an American Idol - like show. She becomes an 'Instant Star'. The show follows her as she makes albums and grows up, falls in and out of love, etc. Every episode had lots of singing. It lasted 4 glorious seasons before getting the axe, but it stole my heart for eternity. From that show emerged Alexz Johnson aka Jude Harrison. I'm deeply in love with Alexz's voice. She has released a couple of albums, but never truly found commercial success.
She has just released a new song and a new video. This song, if marketed right, could be huge. It's a sweet, sad ballad that pulls at the tear strings and emotional baggage that we all carry about. 
The video is almost great. The low production cost is very noticeable, but Alexz carries the song. I especially love music videos in which the artist sings the lyrics as if it were real words. 
I know that at least my BFF, Nic will love this song. Cause damn it, "my hearts not a skipping stone." (those are lyrics :))
Here's a link to the video.
Or you can listen to the song below :)

Here the lyrics :)
Skipping Stone

I took in the most that I could
I never imagined that I would be feeling so misunderstood
I’m just following lines
You race in my mind like a car
You’ve beaten my heart so damn farther
And now I’ve been pacing the wall
You’re under my hood

Never thought I could love you no never
Never thought that I would
Ever try to be anything better

My heart’s beating better alone
And if it is broke why let you know?
This heart’s not your skipping stone
If I’m sinking water than why even bother
Just leave it alone
This heart’s not your skipping stone

So maybe I should settle down
Find a new man let him throw my whole world around
All his blueberry lies
I know there isn’t a rule
Was left in the dust never taught in school
I’m a lovesick fool
Never knew that you could just hold me hostage
I’m losing my cool
Through the pain somehow don’t want you to stop it

My heart’s beating better alone
And if it is broke why let you know?
This heart’s not your skipping stone
If I’m sinking water than why even bother
Leave it alone
This hearts not your skipping stone

All the time
I never let you in
Was a lie
I wasn’t letting you win
And all the days
You let me cry
Was a lie

My heart’s beating better alone
And if it is broke why let you know?
This heart’s not your skipping stone
If I’m sinking water than why even bother
Just leave it alone
And if it is broke why let you know?
This heart’s not your skipping stone
If I’m sinking water why even bother?
Just leave me alone
This hearts not your skipping stone
