ADAM LAMBERT – ‘Cus Gaga loves him, and so does Pink!!!

Runner-up on the eight season of famous show American Idol is making more and better music than the kid who won the show, but that’s far away from the point of this post.


I wanted to tell you that I’m really surprised with his music, and I don’t want you to take this in a bad way, the thing is that I never thought that American Idol could find major artists (besides Kelly Clarkson or Carrie Underwood), because I really felt they have lost their touch, but lately I was hearing some good old music (Fever by Gaga) and I found out that Lambert got the chance to add this incredible song to this debut album For Your Entertainment because Gaga is absolutely in love with him. She even was there at the studio helping him with her song, you know, because according to Gaga, the song was just not for her, but he was the perfect fit.


Then, I went ahead and looked at some Youtube videos (and I saw the one where Pink  falls in stage because something when wrong with the thing that makes her fly! Haven’t seen that? Well, I’ll leave the link at the end of the post! =D ), and I found one video where Pink sings Whataya Want From Me, and I thought, Pink did it again, she wrote an amazing song, but then she goes and says that AdamLambert does a better job with that one, so (as you may expect) I looked for his version (part of his debut album also), and I really thought that he did a better job than Pink


End of the story, I’ve downloaded the whole album For Your Entertainment, and I have to say that it has some great songs. Congrats to Adam Lambert, and (sadly) some of you may ask, but hey, isn’t he the “gay dude from American Idol”? But one thing that I have to make clear is that, the reason why I love music is that we can express every sort of motion with it, because music is genreless, music has no sex, music is there for everybody and everybody can make good music (except any cast member of the Jersey Shore of course…). So, don’t be judgemental before you hear his material, let’s get that prehistorical thought out of our mind and share the love for music!


Here is the official video for Whataya Want From Me by Adam Lambert.

Here's the Pink’s video of which I was talking about. Believe me (I wouldn’t show the Pinkvideo if she didn’t acted like a pro, just a great performer could hold their posture even when things like that happen)

And, as promised, here's Lady Gaga back in the day, before The Fame arrived, performing a song she wrote called Fever, which is part of Adam Lambert debut album For Your Entertainment.

CHRISTINA AGUILERA - I am done.. smoking gun.. we lost it all.. you lost me

Here comes a song that I had mentioned you before "You Lost Me" by Christina Aguilera (remember? you don't?? anyways..), i told you about this song when she premiered it at the finale of American Idol (to check that CLICK HERE ), and well, i guess the important people from her record label found out that we loved the song and now she's releasing it as a single (good choice!). What happens with this song is that it reminds us that there are true singers out there that have amazing real voices and that not everything is auto-tune (right T-Pain??) and well, when you get to watch the official video for the song (at the end of the post) you'll see how much does Christina believes what she's singing, i even got to a point where i could almost feel her pain (that's normal right?) and remembered so many things (good times.. and bad ones too), anyways.. she's a great singer, that really knows how to transmit her emotions through voice and image. Although at this moment her new album (Bionic) isn't having a great sales period, i think her new material is really good, so just give her a chance and listen to what she's offering.. Here's the video for "You Lost Me" (get a tissue handy.. you'll need it)


And here's her song "Bionic" from the album with the same name.. i really think this one also has a chance as a single, what do you think?

AMERICAN IDOL - The end of the show? At least of their ratings...

So, a couple of days ago was American Idol's finale and it was very... emotional. We all got to know the sad news about Simon Cowell's departure from the show, and finally knew who the winner was... and i can't remember his name (i have to admit that i didn't thought the contestants of this season were good enough for me to remember their names, so... what can i say?), the point is that he won over the girl and now both have a album contract, so... good for them!


One of the artists involved was Christina Aguilera. The contestants of the show gave a rendition of some of her number one singles like "Fighter", "Beautiful" and some others. When the time was right, Christina came on-stage, she brought her soul with her and delivered an outstanding performance of one of her songs from "Bionic" (her upcoming album) titled "You Lost Me" which i really hope becomes her next single, because it's really good and just shows us once again her out-of-this-world voice, it could be her new "Beautiful" seriously!

Honestly i've never been into Bret Michaels music, but all i know is that he was a member of Poison, a rock band from the 80's (i think...). Anyways, i've always liked one song from him "Every Rose Has Its Thorn" and surprisingly he appeared at American Idol and sang it with one of the almost-finalists from this season "Casey" (the guy with who Kara DioGuardi cheated her husband... at least in her mind) Wonder why he didn't make it to the finale?

And the history that really brought the ratings this time! Simon Cowell is leaving American Idol. We all must admit the fact that without him, the show won't be the same, honestly most of us only watched to see how he tortured the contestants (it wasn't only me right?), but apparently he's making a project in her own something like the X-Factor but here in America, so, i'll sure be watching that (and when the time comes, it will overshadow American Idol so... hope it comes soon!). Here are the winners of every season and some other contestants singing for Cowell for the last time and his good-bye speech...

RIHANNA - Hey baby, who's a rockstar?


The song of the moment (in my mind at least, since according to Billboard.com "this song has never charted", and if you don't believe me just scroll down and see it for yourself). As i was saying, i personally think this single has great potential... but maybe in a concert, in her tour, since it's full of rock instruments and creates and amazing enviroment for such an epic performance... just hope that when she gets to go on her tour, she really squeezes the quality of this song and leaves us with our mouths wide open! Here i leave you the official video from her single "Rockstar 101", it's sexy as hell... but, what else could we expect from her?

Rockstar 101 (ft. Slash) - Rihanna



And here is the only performance of hers (that i've seen) of the same song "Rockstar 101" in American Idol. They've never had so many good artists before (Rihanna, Black Eyed Peas, Miley Cyrus, Lady Gaga, etc), maybe i should start watching it more next season.. if there's such thing as a next season (bad ratings i've heard... and also Simon is leaving!).

MILEY CYRUS - Where had she hidden that voice?

When I Look At You - Miley Cyrus


This happened some weeks ago, but that doesn't remove the importance from this video! It's just Miley Cyrus singing one of her songs "When I Look At You", and... she really brought her best at the set of American Idol. That week she was there as a mentor for the contestants, and even though i can't help but wishing that she could sing everytime ('cause i really find disturbing the way she talks... it's kinda stressing... you will tell at the end of the video), i have to say that i was impressed when i watched this performance because, the girl can really sing and some sort of perform (did she almost fall at 3:02? Was she afraid that she dropped her dress to the floor? Or was it just her hand that didn't knew another better place to be?). Congrats Smiley! Good job!


By the way, the song belongs to the soundtrack of one of her many movies... Honestly, i've never watched any of them, but... just a reference in case you were wondering (you did, didn't you?).
