Pick you favorite song and record your own personal bathroom concert series.
First I’d like to thank Ellen for her brilliant bathroom concert idea.
Next I’d like to thank Rudy the Labradoodle for allowing me to sing to his semi-cooperative self.
And lastly I’d like to thank Maile and Laina for interrupting me…business as usual.

Brave indeed to sing away. Although I seem to remember from another post that you can actually sing – which is a great help.
Can’t wait to watch your concert tomorrow, I mean later today (it’s late, I mean very early, and the hubs is sleeping next to me) I’m sure it will be FABULOUS!!!
In my post, I thought that Ellen and Jennifer’s concert was the best but I was wrong. Fabulous. I am pretty sure a Grammy is going to be coming your way soon.
Is it right that when I leave a link to your par-tay I typo… right there in the link? Yes. That’s my signature for link ups.
Also: Is it right that the kids have more of a knack for singing in the mic than you do?
Lastly: Is it right that the kids didn’t seem the least bit surprised by the fact that Mama was in the bathroom with the camera and karaoke machine?
Now that song is in me head. Gracias, lady!

You’ve really got something here, MamaKat!
Thank you Ellen. I think it’s important that the fake Ellen sites latch on to what I’m doing here. You can help catapult me to daytime television success.
That is my plan. You are welcome. :-)
Wondering how long (if ever?) it will be b4 you figure out who I am for reals.
April Fools!
Oh I’ll figure it out.
That was so “dog-gone” cute! Thanks, I’ll be here all week …
Ha-larious. I love how you all got in on the concert.
Ahh! I have a sleeping boy in the room with me so I can’t watch the video now. I will be coming back for this one for sure.
Love the comment from Ellen. :)
That was so special! The only non-attention seeking poodle was Rudy, am I right?
I think you should call Ellen tell her to use her pull to get you on American Idol, almost everyone else on the show sucks this year! Maybe they’ll start a segment on bathroom singing!
I’m such a wimp….you did awesome!!
This is the best thing I’ve seen online this week. Love it!
And here I thought maybe I was humiliating myself….thank you!
LOVE it! AND Ellen wrote you! AMAZING! ;)
Hey … I keep seeing this writer’s workshop thing so I finally showed up on the right dayto play ;-)
One of the funniest things I have seen in such a long time. Laughing so hard I woke up my sleeping son! Thanks for helping me start off my day.
I’m trying to convince the hubby to play guitar for my bathroom concert series. We will see…
This is my first Writer’s Workshop entry! Hoping to do this twice a month to get some writing practice and great ideas from others’ writing. LOVE the bathroom concert series idea – I’m not even brave enough to sing alone in my bathroom and post it online so good on you to those that did lol
Mommy, Mommy, I can’t breathe! “Oh!” That took it home Mama Kat! I feel like I’m cheating on you today, it’s a mental blog day for me….
Great prompts this week!
Love it. If I had any singing talent at all I would have totally done this. Alas, I don’t. At all. But you did great!
This is my first time participating! Fun assignment.
So cute! I love that song too!
You’re awesome. I had fun with this week’s assignment!
You crack me up as always :) and that dog…..um so cute!!!!!!!!!
Why try to make it as a singer? You can def make it as a director! This was so funny! I think my favourite part is “Rudy… Ruuuudy”. That and Mama singing with her girls… :-)
I can’t stop laughing.
I wonder if your kids will grow up thinking bathroom vlogs and karoake is normal? :)
They certainly will.
And it is.
Don’t tell me you guys don’t karaoke in your bathroom every night? ;)
That was great! I love that Rudy the Dog has perfect comedic timing. So do the kids. I really enjoyed your video. It’s too bad that the real Ellen didn’t comment. She’ll take notice one of these days! :)
Kristi, Live and Love…Out Loud
@TweetingMama
I know right! I’m just going to choose to believe that the Real Ellen has read all the letters and isn’t contacting me because she doesn’t want me to stop. :)
That was OUTSTANDING! Loved every last interruption. I think that is what made it so special. The fact that all that you do especially with vlogs you keep it real. Kids are part of our lives and letting them be a part always is important. Loved this Kat!
Love and Prayers,
Tim
Wow, yeah you won’t find me singing in the bathroom or anywhere else for that matter. But I have to say I’m impressed you did a great job! Can’t wait for the next bathroom hit!
Great prompts this week and I participated..loved that you sang in the bathroom ;)
That was amazing. And hilarious. I needed a laugh to start my day.
You are one brave, funny and crazy woman. The odd part this is the second time today I hear that Lisa song. Strange.
Thanks for hosting Writer’s Workshop!!!
You are so great! I loved it!!
i would’ve recorded a song in the bathroom (which was first done by a bunch of Filipinas!) but the hubby is awake and i’ll never hear the end of it…
So I’m here in bed this morning sick and miserable but decided to open my reader anyways. Thank goodness I did!!! Your video totally had me laughing and I might actually get out of bed now. Thank you Mama Kat for making me all better!!! XOXO
Yay! See at first I thought this might be a tad embarrassing, but you made it totally worth it.
I CAN HEAL!!!
Aaaaaahhhhhhhhh haha…so funny!
*tears of laughter streaming down my face*
And when Rudy acts so rude and walks away…with his curly tail…I fell over clutching my stomach.
How can you NOT end up on Ellen?! Seriously….
Hahaha!! That was hilarious. My dog would have been all over me. And your kids were so darling. How funny!! Do more of those, please! LOL!!
That was the most awesomely sweet bathroom concert video ever! It made me shoot rainbows out of my cheeks from smiling so big! Standing ovation from moi! Encore! Encore!
Bravo, Bravo…Wonderful….Applause…loud Applause here…that was adorable..thanks for making me smile today!
Ha, yeah I can’t sing well enough… LOL
This is sooooo cute. Fun way to start the day!
omg that is possibly one of my favorite vlogs ever! please make bathroom concerts a major part of your blogging repertoire.
Okay – you totally rock. That actually sounded good. And was funny. At the same time!
Okay I did 2 videos and neither are as awesome as yours! We really just sung, you totally performed! You rocked it with the camera angles and mics… Awesome.
It wa syour dramatic use of the eye sweep, the head bow and the soft dog caresses that sold me. When does your CD come out?
BTW, I challege you to do this with my bipolar wiener in your bathroom! (Bet a few people are scratching their heads right now!)

Ok you are FABULOUS! I read your blog all of the time, (but rarely comment- my bad!) But you crack me up daily and I am hoping and a praying that you get on Ellen because I think the two of you would be comical heaven to watch together. And you have star quality! Love watching your bathroom session, and you can really sing! Love it!
You do realize that if I ever got on Ellen I would SO not be funny. I’d be a stuttering fool and everyone would be disappointed.
Or I’d be brilliant and they’d offer me my own show…one of the two.
I can’t get your button to work :-( When I post, I just get the blue box with the white ? mark.
Very impressive video. I think my dog would be less cooperative!
I think Lisa Loeb went to my college…or maybe it was that lady who sang ‘what if God were one of us’.
Ellen would be lucky to have you instead of the people who burp the alphabet or pogo stick jump over flames.
Instead of wooing Ellen, you need to think of yourself as the George Clooney of bloggers, who needs Ellen to start campaigning for your attention!

You totally rocked it!
You should have sang for the American Idol judges at Bootcamp- we would have been nice!
You’re hilarious! I think I love you!
Ellen wrote you? What? Did I miss something? Oh, and did you write a post about getting Rudy? I don’t remember that being a final decision at all. I’m so lost!!!
I LOVE the video. You are rockin’ the kasbah…or the bathroom. Either way.
No a faux Ellen left a comment earlier…very sweet of her. Probably my Mom.
Rudy has not been introduced to the blog yet, but next week will be his shining debut. First I have to find my camera….
That is SO STINKING CUTE! I love it!!!!!!!
Now I want to know who Rudy is! Did I miss you getting a dog??
Ok:
1) Holy cow – Ellen responded to you!! How cool is THAT!! You may get there yet!!
2) LOVED Rudy just casually walking past the camera.
3) Thank you for the laugh! I really needed it!
AHAHHAHAH!!
Nice job. I am very impressed that the dog sat there. Mine would have tackled me and left me a slobbered on mess.
I think a video of you singing “stay” in the bathroom with a dog tackling you would be far more entertaining than any video I could make. DO IT!
It’s just not fair that you can sing and write, and you seem to keep the bathroom pretty clean too. I don’t know if I should be jealous or ask you to be my new best friend — maybe both?
Did I miss you getting a Labradoodle? He’s SO CUTE!! Also, this is probably the single most amazing video I have ever watched online. You ROCK. Even though poor Rudy is going “okay, what gives? why are my humans so WEIRD?”. ;)
I absolutely loved that. I will one day need to get up the nerve to do my own bathroom concert. But, since my girls both tell me not to sing whenever I join in song with them, I am guessing it will be a long time before I do it and it will be posted on my blog – never. Sadly all of the money my folks spent on voice lessons did me no good at all.
You are wonderfully refreshing.
OMG too funny! I love it! I’d love more of the lisa Loeb Stay video dance moves though, knees together arms dropping so called dancing next time please!
LOL! So cute! I couldn’t do that prompt because my voice is heinous, but you sounded very good!! So glad I found your blog! Thanks!
Thanks for the promts, I was stumped today!
You should be on national TV. I feel really strongly about this. Seriously.
Mama Kat Variety Hour FTW.
Oh and I love the video, you are so ready for the big time!
OMG Kat…You are an idiot! And I *LOVE* it! I haven’t been commenting lately, but I’m still a regular reader. Remember me when you finally make it on Ellen and she lets you choose your favorite bloggy friends to be in the audience!
LOVED THIS! Favorite parts: How sincere you sounded on “I only hear what I want to!” and you ending up with both mics halfway through. Oh, and I love Rudy – is he staying???????
I feel so honored to have inspired a writers workshop prompt! So cool. I look forward to looking through them…
Love your video! what great singers!
I am too chicken to do that. Good job!
That. was. AWESOME!!!!
(waving bic lighter in the air)
Did you use your flip video camera for that? I’ve never edited videos with it yet. Is it easy? How do you find the time? I’m drowning over here and HELLO? I don’t run a daycare.
That was so awesome.. you have a really good voice.. and if she doesn’t take you after this then Ellen is on crack.. She is missing one of the coolest people I know..
Holy cow, I am laughing my head off! How long did that video take??? Whatever, it was totally worth it! Now you’ve started something.
But hold the phone…did I miss the post where you introduced Ruby the labradoodle????? Girly, I do not know why you have 48 hours in a day while mine keep having only 24.
You have a bipolar weiner!?! Me too!!! Only mine is attached to my husband.
Sorry.
tmi.
I think you’re on to something…you know how Ellen calls guests sometimes on the show? I should vlog myself calling Ellen and just show me sitting there forever since of course she’d be impossible to reach.
And I’m in love with the dread lock girl on the show…is it Christina? She’s my favorite!
So funny. LOVED it. I so badly wanted to participate but I ran out of time. Maybe you will do it again and I will take part.(if I get the nerve.)
Have a wonderful day.
Bwaaaahahahahhahahaha.
Oh girl.
I just.
Well, I just love you.
That was awesome.
We need to get moving on that http://www.getkatonellen.com.
She NEEDS to some of your goodness in her life.
The best. That was just the BEST way to start my day. What a fun Mom you are!
That was totally adorable!!
Okay, am sold…I will make a point of visiting your blog more often. The humor is just too much….
Did you ever hear back from Ellen?
How did I miss this post….glad you linked back to it! Hilarious:)
Why have I not watched this sooner??? SO stinking adorable!!! Lisa Loeb should definitely sing with you!
loved it, too cute
That made me totally laugh it was so cute! I wanna go try this with my kids now. I love Lisa and Ellen,too.
HAHAHA! this was hilarious! I LOVE this video best. thing. ever!
