Isn't 3 Avalon, Testify to Love?

5 is Stacie Orrico, though I don't know the name . . . More to Life, maybe?

[chestnutcurls.livejournal.com]

You got #5 right. Yay!

[hestergray.livejournal.com]

Number nine is Martina McBride. I think it's called "I Love You."

Number fifteen is on a mix CD that I got from camp last summer! I think it's called "I Just Wanna Live," but I don't know who sings it. And the CD is at work right now, so I can't even look on the song list. Although, that would probably be cheating anyway.

[chestnutcurls.livejournal.com]

You got it! :)

[renaberena.livejournal.com]

I think #9 is I Love You by Martina McBride. ?

[renaberena.livejournal.com]

#14 is the Angry American song by Toby Keith. Is it really called The Angry American tho?

There are a LOT that sound familiar, especially the Christian ones, but the only two I know for sure are:
16. "Sugar, We're Going Down" by Fallout Boy
& 18. (How I still know this, I don't know, because it's been years since I heard it!) "Free Your Mind" by En Vogue

Right?
