Music Blurb: This Girl's Gonna Be BIG!!

Ever heard of Christina Perri? If not, you will soon. The way things are going, she's up to be the next Lady Gaga (but probably with a more conventional fashion sense). Like so many aspiring artists, she wound up in Los Angeles. But reality bites: many talented people who move to LA for fame and fortune don't get any. Christina ended up being a waitress at the Melrose Place Cafe, writing songs on her off time. But she was one of the lucky ones. One of her friends knew about her aspiration to be a recording artist and gave the demo of her song "Jar of Hearts" to Stacey Tookey, the choreographer for "So You Think You Can Dance". 


The rest is history. On June 30th, a new episode of SYTYCD aired...featuring a song from a complete unknown to millions! As you can predict, people went crazy for the Philadelphia native and her heartfelt breakup ballad. Christina's live performance of the song during the results episode upped her overnight popularity. Sales of the "Jar of Hearts" single skyrocketed; as of July 19th, 2010 it is #8 out of all the songs available on iTunes! Over 100,000 copies and counting have been sold, and as of yet, Christina Perri is still unsigned!

And hopefully it will happen soon, because this girl is chock-full of hidden talent. She is currently working on her independent-label EP, to be released in late summer.


So here it is for your listening pleasure, the one and only "Jar of Hearts"!
