thelakeFirst of all; thank you all for replying to my "sudden depression" entry yesterday, I really appreciate it ♥
I've been working non stop the whole day! I'm done with the overdue project yay! It looks so nice :) And today I started another thing, it's about the telephone banking and it's my favourite so no worries here. I feel like I'm solving a puzzle, fun fun fun! (really!)
Today's my brother's 19th birthday! ♥ We didn't call him or wish him a happy birthday today, acting like we all forgot about it, but I'm almost sure he doesn't care a bit LOL! I'm not sure if he actually knows it's his birthday today. My airheaded brother is like that... (not all the time though, LOL, i just love him so much ♥)
So Kris Allen won American Idol, huh? I don't watch AI at all, but seeing from all of you guys, I gotta say he was my favourite. I've seen some performances on youtube and I thought he was really good (don't know anything about Adam though, so not a very good judge)
I'm looking forward to hear more of him. Gimme song names, special performances and such. SEE THE COMMENTS FROM![[livejournal.com profile]](https://www.dreamwidth.org/img/external/lj-userinfo.gif)
fauxkaren! SHE PICKED THE BEST STUFF! ♥
It's 5:20 pm now, the work day is almost over, and suprisingly I'm not that tired today, yay! (It must be about the birthday cake I'm gonna devour tonight. Yummmmmmmm.)
And before I go; I watched the 1st ep. of Lost Season 5 a couple of days ago and dude, it's too complicated, I need ultimate brain power to get into the "Lost state of mind" again! Seriously.
Eta: I'm so excited about SMG's new show: The Wonderful Maladys (http://www.imdb.com/title/tt1299395/) *points to the icon* Isn't she the cutest! ♥
I know it's gonna be an HBO series, but I don't know when it's gonna air, you guys have any idea?

Date: 2009-05-21 07:40 pm (UTC)Ahahaha. Be careful what you wish for! Part 1
Date: 2009-05-21 03:20 pm (UTC)First, every week the contestants record the songs in a studio and then they're released as singles. These three songs were better as singles than they were on the show, so I'm going to link you to those.
Falling Slowly - Kris sang this for Movies week when everyone else was singing horrible Bryan Adam's ballads.
All She Wants to Do is Dance - Kris say this for "Year You Were Born Week" and it was probably his weakest performance, but I LOVE grooving to this recording.
Come Together - I looooved this even though the judges didn't. It's one of my favorite Beatles songs and I thought that Kris did a good job with it. The performance was good too, but I'm attatched to the studio version, so here it is.

Date: 2009-05-21 07:26 pm (UTC)I'm missing the good old days when we have our own Popstar kinda thing in Turkey. Fun times.. I'll definitely follow the next season of AI though!
Re: Ahahaha. Be careful what you wish for! Part 1
Date: 2009-05-21 07:20 pm (UTC)he has this slight hint of One Republic sound in his voice. (you know the band who sings Apologize with Timbaland), hence my love grows more.
Re: Ahahaha. Be careful what you wish for! Part 1
Date: 2009-05-21 07:22 pm (UTC)FUNNY THAT YOU MENTION THAT! BECAUSE HE TOTALLY SANG "APOLOGIZE" ON TOP 3 NIGHT. hahahah :D

Date: 2009-05-21 03:21 pm (UTC)Now for some of Kris's best performances! Unfortunately the actual videos are always taken down quickly from YouTube and the official videos don't work outside the US, so these are just sound, but here ya go!
Ain't No Sunshine - Performed as his reprise song on the finale, and I think it won the competition for him. (This video has the random intro stuff in the beginning and the judges at the end, but this was the best quality I could find). Ugh! I can't find a good quality vid that will embed, so I'm just gonna link you to the video.
http://video.yahoo.com/watch/5111622/13554355
Heartless - Top 3 night, Kris completely reworked this Kanye West hip-hop song into a cool acoustic number. (again with the intro and judges, but it's worth it to get Kris's pretty face in good quality) This was actually where Kris became a front runner. Everyone was expecting him to go home that night, but he came out swinging! Again, I'm just gonna link to the vid here.
http://video.yahoo.com/watch/5058940/13441495
She Works Hard for the Money - On Disco Night, Kris made this Disco anthem into a really chill song with a bit fo a Latin vibe.
Finally, Kris rocked out on this duet of "Kiss a Girl" with Keith Urban last night. I don't even like country music and I loved this!
Ahem. And if Kris managed to pique your interest after that, he has an album of songs that he wrote and recorded independently before Idol that you can download here. I think it's a great album and it's been my jam for the past few weeks.

Date: 2009-05-21 07:39 pm (UTC)and I love country music and it's so amazing how he can sing EVERY KIND OF SONGS. I'm downloading the album right now, you'll see me as a happy fangirl starting from today. He is amazing, really. I don't know about the other contestants, but Kris Allen totally deserves being the idol! ♥
Thanks for all these :) I would have never found these all myself! I'll love you forever for this ♥
Re: Be Careful What You Wish For Part 2
Date: 2009-05-21 07:48 pm (UTC)His album is really good for an independently produced album. And you can see that he has a real talent for song writing, so I'm hoping and praying that Idol lets him put his own music on his debut album instead of the stuff that a lot of Idol winners get saddled with. His album is very singer-songwriter, and it reminds me a lot of early John Mayer with a bit of country flavor every so often.
