Adam Lambert burns it up …

March 18, 2009 2 comments

Okay, this interpretation of Ring of Fire by American Idol contestant Adam Lambert is totally a million light-years out of the galaxy as far as the country genre is (and maybe Johnny Cash is rolling over in his grave) … and yes, it sounds like Adam kinda ripped it off Dilana’s version from Rock Star (but he sings it a thousand times better).

But Adam’s performance is still totally freakin’ trippin’ AWESOMENESS (and I don’t care if that isn’t a real word). I just wish that he brought out the glitter and the belly dancer outfit to complete this performance. And there should’ve been half-naked dancers undulating suggestively behind him.

VOTE for Adam tonight! He at least brings the INTERESTING into idol. ha ha

What can I say – Adam Lambert makes me wish I were male and gay ;-)

ETA: Here’s Adam being fierce pre-idol! Now, those back-up dancers were needed tonight!

One Last Goodbye to Jorge Nuñez (American Idol)

March 17, 2009 2 comments

Oh, well, there goes my great hope of hearing Spanish sung on American Idol.

And yes, Regis, why didn’t you ask him to sing “My Way” in Spanish? Anyway, here’s Jorge Nuñez singing on the Regis and Kelly Show. I thought his vibratto was a bit too pronounced, but still, great job!

Now I hope Jorge goes and finishes his last semester in College, and ends up a great singing lawyer.
