"If I Had You" Is The Best Song Ever Recorded By Adam Lambert

The runner-up American Idol 2009, Adam Lambert released the new single and this is the fourth single from Adam Lambert taken from his first album. First single from Adam Lambert is "Time For Miracles", second single is "For Your Entertainment", third single is "Whataya Want For Me" and fourth single is "If I Had You".

Adam Lambert journey in music industry more good and more consistent than Kris Allen because till now Adam Lambert already release fourth single from his first album, but Kris Allen just released one single "Live Like We're Dyin" taken from his first album. Huge different between Mr. Lambert and Mr. Allen. I hope Kris not too late for compete Adam Lambert in the real world music industry.

Both Kimberley&Kimberly From Season Two American Idol, Ready To Rock The World!!

Do you know the both Kimberley that I mean?? If you are a fans of American Idol, I believe you know. Yep! they are finalist from American Idol, specifically season two finalist. Kimberley Locke is the second runner-up and Caldwell arrive in seventh place.

In Asia, I'm not sure that both of them is really famous especially for Kimberly Caldwell. Kimberley Locke had released album and the single "8th Wonder" famous enough in Asia. For Kimberly Caldwell unfortunately not really famous in Asia because she never released at least one album, so in Asia her name really not famous and maybe there some people never heard her name.

Now both of Kimberley&Kimberly ready to rock the music industry, I hope the music industry around the world. Kimberley Locke already release first single from her upcoming album called "Strobelight". Jason DeRulo also release a song who name like that.

For Kimberly Caldwell, Caldwell also already release the first single from her upcoming album called "Mess Of You". Caldwell album actually must release in month of April, but maybe there is some problem so make the album delayed to release. In the next month Kimberly Caldwell will release an album and this is a debut album for her.

I love the songs from both of them, but if I must compare between a song from Locke and Caldwell, I more fell in love with a song from...... Kimberly Caldwell. Not only Caldwell more sexy and more beautiful than Locke, but also the song more easy to liked based on my opinion. This song really fit for Caldwell because she unique voice really shining in this song. Caldwell really like Pink, the voice is husky and added some rock flavor in a song.

If you want to move and dance, I suggest you that you prefer choose Kimberley Locke song because very the song really make your body move. If you a fans of R&B song or pop-dance or clubbing, I believe you more like Kimberley Locke song called "Strobelight".

Unfortunately Kimberley Locke doesn't still release her official video for "Strobelight", but don't worry I still give you the video although the video just face of her hehehe..... enjoy.... ^^ (I hope I can share in this blog if Locke release the official video for this song)



After locke, It's turn for Kimberly Caldwell with "Mess Of You". She damned gorgeous in this video, very sexy, hot and so beautiful. Enjoy this video :

Sorry I can't share the video in this post/blog, so just click this link to see the video... thanks!

See you in the next post......

*I hope I still can update this blog because I already work in a company, not a easy job, but I will give it my best to this blog.... ^^ see ya!!

Kris Allen - The Truth

Kris Allensince win the contest American Idol last year (American Idol Season 8), he already release his first album. After the single "Live Like We're Dying", Kris is not yet released a new single. But I got a feeling that he will release single "The Truth" for second single because he performing that song in the result show grand final American Idol.

I hope Kris Allen as soon as possible release a second single because it's too long for him not release a new song from his album. What song must he release next?? Up to him, but my hope "The Truth" or "Before We Come Undone" or "Written All Over My Face" or "Bring It Back", I liked to that four songs.

Let's talk about the song called "The Truth". This song could be talking about with our partners, spouse, sweetheart or with our families, especially parents. This song talking about how very difficult to say the truth and sometimes only ignore every problem with feel everything alright, but the truth wasn't like that and more worse than that because we not say the truth. I must admitted that not easy to telling the truth, we must have a courage to say the truth, but everything is more better and more relief if we say the truth although we must accept every consequences.

How about your interpretation??? ^^

If you never read the lyric and never heard the song, I will give to you in this post, so after you listen to the song and read the lyric, tell me about your interpretation or the meaning that you get from this song, okay? deal? hehe ^^

Do you ever heard the song of "The Truth"??

I will give you the video from American Idol finale when Kris Allen took the stage and sang this song, here it is.... enjoy!





after the video this is the lyric:

Lyin' next to you
Wishing I could disappear...aay
Let you fall asleep
And vanish out into thin air..aay

It's the elephant in the room
And we pretend that we don't see it.
It's the avalanche that looms above our heads.
And we don't believe it.

Tryin' to be perfect
Tryin' not to let you down...ooww
Honesty is honestly the hardest thing for me right now...yeah
while the floors underneath our feet are crumbling
The walls we built together tumblin'
I still stand here holdin' up the roof
Cause it's easier than telling the truth.

I still keep your photographs
I remember how we used to laugh
I can keep on losin' sleep
If you're okay with being torn in half.

It's the elephant in the room
And we pretend that we don't see it.
It's an avalanche that looms above our heads
But we don't believe it.

Tryin' to be perfect, tryin' not to let you down...oww
Honesty is honestly the hardest thing for me right now...yeah
While the floors underneath our feet are crumblin'
The walls we built together tumblin'
I still stand here holdin' up the roof
Cause it's easier than telling the truth.

Stop ignoring that our hearts are mourning
And let the rain come in.
Stop pretending that it's not ending
And let the end begin.

Oh yeah...

Tryin' to be perfect, tryin' not to let you down...yeah
Honesty is honestly the hardest thing for me right now...yeah
While the floors underneath our feet are crumblin'
The walls we built together tumblin'
I still stand here holdin' up the roof
Cause it's easier than telling the truth.

It's easier than telling the truth...

Carrie Underwood - Undo It

Carrie Underwood third single just release, the title of the song is "Undo It". The song is so catchy, easy listening and can caught in your head very fast. "un un un Undo It" That words really caught in my head and really hard to forget that words and I believe in your head too, but if you ever listen this song.

Carrie album "Play On" is still standing in Billboard 200 chart. She debuted in number one and goes down with slowly. She also just reach week 30 in billboard 200 chart and standing still in number 24, up 11 spot from number 35 last chart.

The single "Undo It" also into the Billboard hot 100 chart. Carrie Underwood has struggled for five weeks including this week and now sitting in number 25 also the peak position for that single. "Undo It" also charted on #11 country songs, #49 radio songs, #18 digital songs, #27 ringtones, and #58 Canadian Hot 100. Well done, Carrie!! keep up the good work hehe.... for fans and also for Mrs. Carrie.

Unfortunately in Asia the name of Carrie Underwood not famous like in USA or some places in this planet. Her video very rare played in Asian television, also in music channel like V Channel or MTV Asia. Very unfortunate that Asia really rare watch her video and song, also really rare get into the "V Countdown" or "MTV Chart Attack".

Wanna watch the video??
Here it is the official video of "Undo It", enjoy......


Should've known by the way you pass me by
There was something in your eyes
And it wasn't right
I should've walked but I never had the chance
Everything got out of hand and I let it slide
Now I only have myself to blame
For falling for your stupid games
I wish my life could be the way it was before I saw your face

You stole my happy
You made me cry
You took the lonely and took me for a ride
And I wanna un un un un undo it
You had my heart now I want it back
I started to see everything you lack
Boy you blew it
You put me through it
I wanna un un un un Undo It
Na na na na na na na na na na

Now your photos don't have a picture frame
And I never say your name and I never will
And all your things well I threw them in the trash
And I'm not even sad
Now you only have yourself to blame
For playing all those stupid games
You're always gonna be the same
Oh no you'll never change

You stole my happy
You made me cry
You took the lonely and took me for a ride
I wanna un un un un undo it
You had my heart now I want it back
I'm starting to see everything you lack
Boy you blew it
You put me through it
I wanna un un un un undo it
Na na na na na na na na na

You want my future you can't have it
Still trying to erase you from my past
I need you gone so fast

You stole my happy
You made me cry
You took the lonely and took me for a ride
I wanna un un un un undo it
You had my heart now I want it back
I'm starting to see everything you lack
Boy you blew it
You put me through it
I wanna un un un un undo it

You stole my happy
you made me cry
You took the lonely and took me for a ride
Boy you blew it
You put me through it
I wanna un un un un Undo It

Carrie Underwood - Change

I had previously discussed about the song from Carrie Underwood called "Temporary Home". Now it’s time for me to share about the next Carrie song called “Change” Because I already promise that I will share about this song.All this song taken from Mrs. Underwood third album called "Play On".

I realize this song is great when I watched Idol Gives Back. Dammed! Carrie sounded so great when sang this song. The song has a great lyric and Carrie definitely success deliver the message. Perfect performance from Carrie and perfect performance for that show, I think the best performance in Idol Gives Back.

These songs have a positive impact to myself. The impact is you can't change the world, you just can change yourself and if you want to change the world or a more simple change another human you must change yourself first. If you don't want to change yourself, so don't imagine that another human or world or nation will be change. I liked this words too, "Oh the smallest thing can make all the difference,
Love is alive" liked that words!! inspiring so much that small thing can make all the difference like a love.

This is the video performance of Carri Underwood who sang "Change" in Idol Gives Back: (also the lyric)



What'cha gonna do with the 36 cents
Stick you with cork on your floorboard
When a woman on the street is huddle in the cold
On a sidewalk vent trying to keep warm
Do you call her over hand her the change
Ask her a story ask her her name
Or do you tell yourself

You're just a fool
Just a fool
You believe you can change the world
You're just a fool
Just a fool
You believe you can change the world

What'cha gonna do when you're watching t.v.
And an ad comes on
Yeah you know the kind
Flashin' up pictures of a child in need
For a dime a day you can save a life
Do you call the number reach out a hand
Or do you change the channel call it a scam
Or do you tell yourself

You're just a fool
Just a fool
You believe you can change the world
Don't listen to them when they say
You're just a fool
Just a fool
You believe you can change the world
Oh the smallest thing can make all the difference
Love is alive
Don't listen to them when they say
You're just a fool
Just a fool
You believe you can change the world

The worlds so big it could break your heart
And you just wanna help
But not sure where to start
so you close your eyes
Send up a prayer into the dark

You're just a fool
Just a fool
You believe you can change the world
Don't listen to them when they say
You're just a fool
Just a fool you believe
You can change the world
Oh the smallest thing can make all the difference
Love is alive
Don't you listen to them when they say
You're just a fool
Just a fool
You believe you can change the world

Carrie Underwood just release her new single and this is a third single from her album "Play On". The tittle of the single is "Undo It".... don't miss to catch up my next post about "Undo It".
