Chapter 8

It has been a month since the falling out between me and my mother.
I have been in the studio with Kevin, Phil Collins, and Denise as well as max martin.

Jive agreed to let me start over with the album even though some of the songs are still the same.

It looks like I can have a bunch of Phil Collins songs on the album.
My album now has 3 songs from Phil Collins as well as many other songs

1. This is my time ( to shine )
2. overprotected (dark child remix)
3. In the Air tonight
4. leave (get out)
5. Something happened on the way to heaven
6. there’s gotta be more to life
7. goodbye to you
8. my prerogative
9. I decide
10. everywhere
11. I had the time of my life duet w/ Kevin Richardson
12. break away
13. a little bit
14. all you wanted
15. stuck
16. Paradise
17. is it the beat
18. dreaming of you

We also changed the title of my album from Blond wonder to this is my time

The album just flew out of me like a bat out of hell. When I finished I had to go right into shooting the video for My Prerogative, and had to start tour rehearsal. I am still the opening act for NSYNC but that was because the record company would not budge on that. They said that they invested to much time and money to get all the promotion done that they refused to let me off of the tour.

At least I get my own bus that way when Kevin come out to visit I have a place for us to be together.

We did a few local shows just to get me in the rhythm of touring and for me to get used to my bus.

My bus had a big couch in the “living” section past the “living” section there was a little kitchen with a refrigerator full of Gatorade, milk and water…the pantry had pop tarts and cereal. Farther back is the bunk beds…then there is the entertainment room and then all the way in the back is my room. My room had a full screen TV as well as a satellite It had a kick ass stereo, and a dvd player with all of my dvd’s in it
Our first Show in the rhythm getting tour was in Orlando at universal studios.

When Denise introduced me to the crowd she said

“Hello Orlando…I want you all to put your hands up for the next princess of Pop

KAITIE!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!” She said

I spoke the first part of my song “My Prerogative” as I slowly walked out onto the stage

“People can take everything away from you
But they can never take away your truth
But the question is.
Can you handle mine?”

And then the music kicked up a notch and I started the rest of the song.


They say I'm crazy
I really don't care
That's my prerogative
They say I'm nasty
But I don't give a damn
Getting boys is how I live

Some ask me questions
Why am I so real?
But they don't understand me
I really don't know the deal
About my sister
Trying hard to make it right
Not long ago before I won this fight

Everybody's talkin' all this stuff about me
Why don't they just let me live? (tell me why)
I don't need permission
Make my own decisions (oh)
That's my prerogative

That's my prerogative

[It's my prerogative]

Its the way that I wanna live

[It's my prerogative]

They can't tell me what to do...

Don't get me wrong
I'm really not souped
Ego trips is not my thing
All these strange relationships
It really gets me down
I see nothing wrong
Spreading Myself Around

Everybody's talkin' all this stuff about me
Why don't they just let me live? (tell me why)
I don't need permission
Make my own descisions (oh)
That's my prerogative

That's my prerogative

Everybody's talkin' all this stuff about me
Why don't they just let me live? (tell me why)
I don't need permission
Make my own descisions (oh)
That's my prerogative

That's my prerogative

Its the way that I wanna live

[It's my prerogative]

They can't tell me what to do...

Why can't I live my life?
Without all of the things that people say?

Ohh...

[Shout]

Everybody's talkin' all this stuff about me
Why don't they just let me live? (tell me why)
I don't need permission
Make my own decisions (oh)
That's my prerogative

(They Say I'm crazy) Everybody's talkin' all this stuff about me
Why don't they just let me live? (tell me why)
(they say I'm nasty)I don't need permission
Make my own decisions
(ahhh)That's my prerogative

[That's my prerogative]

“What’s up Orlando???” I asked the crowd and they screamed

I really hoped they liked it and it looks as though they like the show so far.

“Well I hope you really liked that song…but I hope you like this one to this one is called Overprotected

say hello to the girl that I am your going to have to see through my perspective…need to make mistakes to just to learn who I am but I don’t want to be so damn protected…there must be another way because I believe in taking chances but who am I to say what a girl is to do I need some answers what am I going to do with my life….”

A/N: You get my drift do I have to type out the whole set of lyrics? My internet is broken so I have to either copy and paste off of other documents or hand type lyrics

So here is another message:
HAPPY NEW YEARS EVE!!!!!!
