So apparently David Cook performed "Little Lies" with Kris Allen and Adam GLambert on Good Morning America the other day and I missed it. What the heck.
First of all.. Glambert has such a big presence, it's really a good thing he didn't win. American Idol would have been a career breaker, I think.
Second, this little performance shows that Kris Allen would be an amazing Country singer. Hopefully they see this and make him a country-ish album, with a pop edge. We all know Country+Idol=Success.
Third, I absolutely love David Cook. I'm so upset that his career hasn't skyrocketed like Daughtry's because it should be. He was amazing when I talked to him, he was amazing in concert, and he's such a down to Earth guy that he deserves the world.
I really hope something happens to just shoot both him and Kris Allen through the roof.
As for Glammy, he's already got people throwing sex toys and stuff at him on stage. I think he's set.
Gah. How long until Idol kicks off again?!

because you want to know: american idol finale pt 2
Ohhh man! What. A. Finale!!! First of all, THANK GOD KRIS WON!!!! Your American Idol= Kris Allen!
The show was pretty great, and definitely packed... And also definitely aiming towards middle-aged women, who probably helped Kris win big time. TONS of duets from famous singers with people from the Top 13. Here are some of them:
Kris Allen, Adam Lambert/Queen--> We Are the Champions
WOW! What a performance for the top 2 to do. It's crazy how they have such different voices, but they both sound good with Queen. [Of course, Adam stands out quite a bit..] And how precious of a song. ;)
Adam Lambert/Kiss--> Beth
Absolutely incredible performance, for sure. [And of course, the song is uber-fabulous!] When's the last time anyone saw KISS perform?! But what is Adam wearing? Metal, rhinestoned, wings? Or are they shoulder pads? And why did he call up the Spice Girls to ask to borrow their shoes? Yikes. Wardrobe change, please.
Allison Iraheta/Cyndi Lauper--> Time After Time
This girl is so incredibly talented, holy S. I can't wait to hear what kind of album she puts out. Cyndi sounded rough, but the idea behind it all was really awesome. I love this... A lot.
Danny Gokey/Lionel Richie--> Medley
I wish I could say "Danny should have been in the finale." He should have been.. But who should he have replaced? I'm not sure that he should have won in place of Kris, but maybe. Actually, probably. But who knows! All I know is he is an amazing singer, and did great with Lionel.
Top 13/Jason Mraz--> I'm Yours
I think this is a cool performance, but I wish it would have only been a couple of them, not everyone.
Top 13/Carlos Santana--> Medley
Again, I love this performance, but I wish it had only been Matt Giraud with him... And maybe Kris and if they had to come up with a girl, Alexis. Sometimes all 13 of them is just too much, duh.
The girls/Fergie--> Medley
Why do the girls sound way better than Fergie? And what is this look of hers?! My GOD she looks MISERABLE!! Seriously awful. Also, they had to dump her during Boom Boom Pow because apparently she forgot you can't say the S word on national TV. Idiot.
Kris Allen/Keith Urban--> Kiss a Girl
Absolutely amazing. This shows why he won! He sounds GREAT alongside of Keith. He's almost like a mini-me to him.
Honestly.. The highlight of the whole show, was when Bikini Girl got her award. No wait, that wasn't the best part. It was right after that:
OMG. Katrina's face is PRICELESS when Kara comes out there on the stage. I really don't think she knew ahead of time. She was not trying to give her a hug! AND!! When Kara ripped off her dress!! You go girl! I'm so sick of Bikini Girl's 15 minutes of fame! Kara took over the moment!!
As for the performances, that's about it it. Steve Martin performed a song on the banjo.... Weird. And they gave a duet to Lil... With Queen Latifah. Also random..
Everyone's really freaking out about the "upset." I guess I agree because I said from the beginning that Kris was the guy I liked that never had a chance in winning. I thought he was forgettable. Apparently not.
The best part about it is that when he was about to hear the results, he wasn't worried or anything. You could tell that he "knew" he wasn't going to win and that Adam had it hands down. When they called his name, this is the face he made:
Pure shock. He has got to be the most "boy next door" or down to Earth Idol ever, and I am so excited about it! Congrats, Kris Allen! I can't wait to write much more about you, and maybe even get an interview in the future. :)
American Idol, RIP... For now. Until I see you at auditions with my BFF C-ton, that is.
love,
elizabethany
PS: Here are some pictures! Check out the band-aids Carrie is ROCKIN'! And Kim Caldwell looks great! Also, it's kinda crazy how Glambert is just proportionately a lot bigger than Kris.

tunes on tuesday 033109
Happy Tunes on Tuesday!!
This week I'm going to do a major focus on songs that are rumored to be on the edge of hitting the radio market BIG TIME. Basically, you might be hearing a lot of them. So might as well learn 'em now if you haven't yet, right!?
David Cook--> Come Back To Me
Love it, duh. I love him. [Hence the interview.. Check it out if you haven't yet.] When he performed it, I think I was a little unsure. The words are good, the sound is good, and it's not too Idol OR too Daughtry. Nice.
Kanye West ft. Mr. Hudson--> Paranoid
Hmmm. I'm not a fan. Not surprising either, though. I'm not a huge Kanye fan lately. Let me know what you think, though. Maybe you can sell me.
Pink--> Please Don't Leave Me
I've definitely already posted this, but it's good. So listen. Now.
Family Force 5--> How In The World
Never heard of these people or this song. I don't think it's anything amazing. I'm not sure what the "special" is in it. Hmm, I guess we'll see how it does.
Pitbull--> I Know You Want Me (Calle Ocho)
Ohh, good dancing song. You'll definitely be getting down to this. I've heard it a couple of times, but I do think we'll be hearing a lot more of it.
Brooke Hogan ft. Stack$--> Falling
Another Brooke Hogan song? Interesting. Stack$ is definitely her ex, too. I like his raps in here, they're clever. A lot of name dropping. Her voice sounds pretty. I'm not sure I will hear it playing on the radio a WHOLE lot, but I could be wrong.
Lovesick Radio--> Boy's Don't Matter
I do like this kind of music when I'm in the mood for it, and I think I like this one. They remind me of someone... I don't know who? Maybe everyone? Or maybe I've just heard this song but never really listened. Who knows.
Paula DeAnda--> Roll the Credits
I love it. The lyrics are totally cute, but a little sad. Clever may be the word. And Paula's a great singer! I dig it.
Kelly Clarkson--> I Do Not Hook Up
She's still got it, my friends. I totally enjoy this song. Yay!
DAY26 ft. Yung Joc and Diddy--> Imma Put It On Her
Of course Diddy is going to jump on their single. Ugh. Didn't he see that he ruined Donnie by doing that?!? I hope this isn't the version they use for radio, but who knows. I still love DAY26 [But I'm gonna slap Que if he keeps effin' up the group...] so its a definite that I love this song. I just want Diddy out of it. Now.
Kenny Chesney--> Out Last Night
YES!!!! A country drinking song! Holy h I LOVE IT! Every bit of it. Yesyesyes!
Jack Ingram--> Barefoot and Crazy
As much as I hate to admit that summer is coming, it is. So, might as well get ready for the awesome summertime country songs! This is a good one! Sweet deal!
Alright, that's all I got for this week! I hope you enjoyed or else it might be a no-fun couple of months listening to these on the radio!

welcome to morgantown, david
The wait is over!! I have for you, my favorite readers, my EXCLUSIVE interview with the CURRENT AMERICAN IDOL, DAVID COOK!!!
[I did the interview for WVU News, so it's a little more newsy than I'd like, but it's still AWESOME! Find out where he went in Morgantown, and why he had to leave! And why WVU has been one of the best performances of his tour! Also... What if I asked him to sing for me...?]
And here are a couple of clips of the line in the Mountainlair before the concert, and clips of the concert. Also, him singing "Light On" live in the Ballroom!
He's an AMAZING guy, and definitely stays true to himself, and that's the most important thing when hitting stardom, right?! Plus, his show was great!
Thank you, David!!
love,
elizabethany

david and sarah k-i-s-s-i-n-g
I went to David Cook's concert here in Morgantown on Friday [more about that next week, with a little somethin' extra ;)] and he told us he had just shot his music video the day before. I should have told everyone then, but I didn't because I'm terrible.
Anyways, the video, for his second single "Come Back to Me" is going to be his on-screen kissing debut!
He'll be kissing the hottie from "Disturbia", Sarah Roemer! Oh snap!
The pictures almost make the video seem like it may remain American Idol-esque, but the song and the way he presented himself/his show on Friday show otherwise. [Not that I blame him... He does need to get away from it all, probably.]
It'll be interesting to see how he continues to do. I personally love a lot of his stuff, but I'm not sure who else does. Hopefully a lot more than I think.
He sure did have a LOT of people lining up SUPER early on Friday though. That made me happy.

tunes on tuesday 011309
I know it's late in the night, but forgive me! I finally have my internet back and it's officially time to give you your TUNES ON TUESDAY!!
Because American Idol Season 8 officially begun tonight, I find it completely appropriate to share some Idols from last season's songs that have been released, or whatever.
But before that, Kelly Clarkson is back!--> My Life Would Suck Without You
A lot of people are starting to think of Carrie Underwood as the best Idol ever.. But I still disagree. Kelly was the first, the original, and the greatest.. In my eyes. And what better way to release a new single to the radio than the day Idol also returned?! Anyways, it's a little different for her, I think. No more screaming [well, not as much] and it's not so I-hate-guys. I fully enjoy it, duh.
Okay.. On to Season 7. Brook White--> Free
She was little Miss Innocent on the show.. Almost too innocent. She has amazing talent, though.. And unfortunately I don't think this video shows it. The song is okay, not amazing, not terrible. They're liking it on the country charts, though.. Interestingly enough.
Kristy Lee Cook--> 15 Minutes of Shame
I hated her on the show. She was obnoxious and not good.. Or so I thought. But, Idols are all good singers, and studios can do even better for them. So, that being said, Kristy sounds good, and when she performed on Regis and Kelly, she looked good. The only irony is the title of the song. How can someone's first song be anything about 15 minutes? It's like suicide, I feel. It's good, but I'm worried. And I won't dare admit to anyone that I like it. Also, is it surprising another Idol is becoming a country star? Not to me.. Seems like the trend. Yes!
David Archuletta--> To Be With You
This is such a cute and beautiful song. It sounds like it could be on the soundtrack of High School Musical or something, but I still like it a lot. It's a nice hopeful, love song with two beautiful voices. I approve.
David Cook--> Always Be My Baby
This is an amazing remake of Mariah's classic, and you need to download it. Now. Seriously, I love it. Obviously it's not much like the original.. But it's fabulous. It might be my new addiction. Yeah.. It is.
Teairra Mari feat. Pleasure P--> Hunt 4 U
I have no idea who this girl is, but she's a great singer. It's a pretty song, but I don't think I'm blown away. It's nothing I haven't heard before, I guess. But I'll welcome her in with open arms if she's got anymore for me/us!
Justin Moore--> Back That Thing Up
I don't know who this guy is either.. And I guess this is a mix between "Back That Azz Up" and "Honky Tonk Badonkadonk." Except, maybe not really. It's more of a read between the lines, maybe? I don't know. It's kind of a plain song, and I was definitely hoping for more.
And finally... I love this song, and it's a pretty/hott video, so check it out.. Christina Milian--> Us Against the World.
She's hott, the song is hott, so obviously this is hott. 'Nuff said. [Even though the Egyptian outfit is kinda weird....]
And that is all for today! I hope everyone had a FABULOUS Tuesday! Break out them iTunes!
Until next week--

worthy of the win?
David Cook has officially released his first single (besides "Time of My Life," the cheesy yet great single he released as the winner..) this week!
It's called "Lights On".. and honestly, I like it! I think it definitely sounds enough like him, and not like Daughtry, that he could really do something with his title! And I'm pumped about it!!
What do you think?? -->
I'll request it all day long for you, David! Good work, I think! :)
love,
elizabethany
