Remember this?
We've seen an over-the-top Adam, sensual Adam, unplugged Adam, and disco Adam on the show. How about some alternative Adam, maybe? With Tears for Fears' song "Mad World" -- gah, I LOVE THIS SONG! I like the Gary Jules and Alex Parks versions of this song. - Here.

And this:
OH FINALLY! Tina Turner's Private Dancer album and song. All ( Read more... )

Theme: Songs from the Year they are Born (SFTYTAB)

Lil Rounds - November 14, 1984OK, bias aside, I don't think songs speculations will work for Lil. She always picks the wrong songs and I'm betting she's not going to do well on that this week as well. Or maybe, it's not the song but her voice. Or her style ( Read more... )

Adam Lambert - January 29, 1982

1982 is a FINE year for music. The musical "Cats" began its run on Broadway, spanning 18 years. Stevie Wonder and Paul McCartney released "Ebony and Ivory". Michael Jackson's "Thriller" album was released. The first compact discs appear in music stores in Asia ( Read more... )

Theme: Songs from the Year they are Born (SFTYTAB)

This is my favorite American Idol theme. SRSLY. Especially now that most of the contestants fall in the 80s era. I absolutely LOVED Season 4's take on SFTYTAB... 1975 was the year of "Bohemian Rhapsody" and Constantine Maroulis was only too glad to blow everyone away with his rendition of it; ( Read more... )

Adam Lambert's smart by nullifying the pronouns in the second verse, in case nobody noticed ( Read more... )

Since last week until now, the next theme is still unclear. Is it iTunes Top Downloads for the week? Or is it #1 Downloads as Paula Abdul said? Either way, it has something to do with iTunes.

Several blogs now call it Top iTunes Downloads. This blog will, too. That means all the songs that became number one [time frame still questionable ( Read more... )

After a whole week of HTML tagging, being on a Windows desktop because I had issued with my beloved Mac, not being able to watch ANY tennis *booooooo*, and not writing a review of this week's American Idol (where Adam once again kicked ass), I am compensating by doing one for the studio versions of their song choices.

I GOT IT RIGHT!

Holy shit! I actually got it right!

Adam Lambert performed Black or White for the Michael Jackson week!

What he CAN sing, in my opinion are: "The Way You Make Me Feel", "Black or White" (my favorite MJ video -- and hey, considering the circumstances this can be the perfect song to send the message out), "Bad", "Smooth Criminal ( Read more... )
