First the xml: http://api.chartlyrics.com/apiv1.asmx//GetLyric?lyricId=90&lyricCheckSum=9600c891e35f602eb6e1605fb7b5229e

doc = Nokogiri::XML(open("http://api.chartlyrics.com/apiv1.asmx//GetLyric?lyricId=90&lyricCheckSum=9600c891e35f602eb6e1605fb7b5229e"))

Successfully will grab the document content.

After this point i am unable to get inside and grab data and i am not sure why?

For example, i would expect:

doc.xpath("//LyricArtist")

To kick back the artist but it does not.

I have tried the same thing with other feeds, such as the default RSS feed that any wordpress installation provides and if i do something like:

doc.xpath("//link")

I get a list of all the "links".

I am definitely missing something and would love your input. thank you!!
