Rain - 널 붙잡을 노래 (Love Song)
亞洲天王Rain在四月初終於發行他的最新單曲＜널 붙잡을 노래（挽留你的歌）＞與專輯《Back to the Basic》（豈不是和克莉絲汀的專輯名差不多？）。單曲MV中所期待的撕衣露肌、帥氣舞步，還有和韓藝瑟纏綿的橋段一樣沒少。雖然看得很開心，但已沒啥新鮮感，之前一波又一波的teaser和宣傳照已經讓大家期待過頭了，MV中我還以為他會撲倒韓藝瑟，顯然也沒有......。哈哈哈哈重口味的人恐怕要失望了，不過這仍然是一支看起來賞心悅目的MV，會想要一再回味～
##ReadMore##
順便再推薦各位一些類似的歌曲，要情傷可以趁現在一起感傷～
最近一說到該如何是好的心情，就一定要來個「原來是美男」中的＜어떡하죠（如何是好）＞啊！這歌也蠻悲的～
最近2AM在《잘못했어》迷你專輯中也有一首同名的歌，但他聽起來一點也不悲，所以現在不要放給大家聽＞＜
這首是Brown Eyes的＜가지마 가지마（別走別走）＞，MV由學習之神余承豪擔綱，不用我告訴你，用聽用看的也知道這是一首超芭樂的歌，但卻超好聽，是我的all time favorite之一！裡面也是一大堆「別走」與「拜託」之言。MV拍的很好看，但最後一段余承豪用大砲把那屋子轟下來，實在有點恐怖。
另外發現Davichi也Cover過這首歌，但我覺得原版比較悲～
天啊這高音有點糟＞＜
接下來是米國的歌囉！首先是Mario的＜The Hardest Moment＞，也是一首離別之歌，稍貼一下chorus歌詞：
Girl you should go left and I will go right
We wasted enough time
But I think we should kiss
So we can take it with us to play in our minds
And if you feel a tear falling on your lips
Then girl that would be mine
Cause I'm a man that ain't afraid to cry
See a man that ain't afraid to cry is a man that ain't afraid to die
哇喔連死都給我說出來了，夠悲～
R&B米國離別悲歌第二彈是Robin Thicke的＜I'm Not Loving You＞，是我的最愛歌之一。這歌的意思我有點不懂，不知道是不是在唱一種離別的矛盾與自欺欺人，明明愛得要死卻說And I'm just afraid, cause this is the first time, that I'm not loving you, and I'm not loving you。啊呦總之很好聽不要在意～
看過「戀夏500日」的都知道，男女主角都共同喜歡The Smiths，這首歌就是原聲帶裡也有的＜Please, Please, Please, Let Me Get What I Want＞。這不是離別的情歌啦，但其中的渴求之意也是非常強烈。如果把他當成一首情歌的話，也是相當動人～
N'Sync的＜Gone＞～前些天剛好在去年底SBS的歌謠大戰中聽到Shinee的鍾鉉有唱這歌，唱得蠻糟的（我會遭天譴＞＜），剛好想起來推薦一下。
Jonas Brothers的＜Sorry＞，也是講壞男孩想要挽回心愛女孩的故事，但女孩早遠走了～
最後一首歌是硬漢的離別曲，Hinder的＜Last Kiss Goodbye＞。我知道一定有很多人不喜歡hard rock，可是仔細聽的話這確實是一首傷心的好歌～這一張專輯《Take It to the Limit》真的好聽。
以上，請期待Rain的新專輯《Back to the Basic》。

Kara definitely CAN SING!
American Idol裡最美麗專業的評審Kara Dioguardi，最為人樂道的就是她在第八屆AI最後
一集中和比基尼女郎Katrina PK瑪麗亞凱莉＜Vision of Love＞的橋段。她不但氣勢驚人，
唱功一流，還在最後大扯衣露出好身材。相信我，我平常很少誇獎藝人，但Kara真的是有
臉蛋有身材有歌喉又有才華的大才女耶！重要的是，她有一個平民帥老公＞＜
好啦，一起看看Kara多能唱！
這就是剛說的比基尼大PK！酷吧～
Kara現場獻唱女門徒凱莉克萊森的出山作之一＜Walk Away＞。
按照他們喜歡的說法: Wow! She really can hit those big notes!!哈哈哈哈，想不到她唱起來也是有些許爆發力的。
接下來是上季Kris Allen的冠軍歌曲＜No Boundaries＞，也是Kara寫的歌！這好像是她唱的demo版～
感覺上比較偏向Adam Lambert的唱法耶！原來Kara也走野獸派＞＜不過我發現這首歌她聲音好像Miley Cyrus喔！有點啞啞的，也像Lindsey Lohan。唉，這歌有傷心的回憶，因為Adam在決賽唱得超好的，比Kris好一倍，但還是輸了＞＜
這首是她寫給Ashlee Simpson的＜Pieces of Me＞
她好適合這種pop rock喔！唱得很好，有小姑娘的活力～
接下來是她寫給席琳狄翁的Title song＜Taking Chances＞
就算自己唱不給席琳狄翁，也一點也不浪費的表現，不管是氣勢還是唱功都可圈可點。
最後兩首都是她寫給第五屆的runner-up Katharine McPhee的單曲，第一首是主打歌＜Had It All＞，和AJ McLean的新專輯同名；第二首歌是反而比較為人知的＜Terrified＞，本季第十名Didi Benami也在Hollywood Week中獻唱過。三首一起送上～
抱歉了Kara，我覺得這歌Didi唱得比你好喔！

American Idol Top 9 Performance - Lennon & McCartney Week!
本周的主題是藍儂和麥卡尼～啊呦這樣聽起來好像都獨厚這兩個人＞＜不過說到披頭四主題，
可是American Idol的傳統大戰呢！我覺得這是很不好發揮的一個主題，畢竟藍儂和麥爵的歌是
個人人都唱過，要再唱出新意可不簡單。再說了，大家對朗朗上口的歌，尤其是披頭四的東西
應該會特別的苛刻吧！這可是人類的音樂瑰寶呢～就像2012中約翰庫薩克帶在身上的小說一
樣～趕快來點評一下吧！ ##ReadMore##
一如往常穩當的Aaron，唱得是Long and Winding Road，但我好討厭他偶然的哭腔，像Kris Allen一樣～這曲編得有點無聊，但改編上本來就非他的強項。BTW最後一聲中間位置好像有點跑掉～
這歌前兩屆的runner-up小大衛也有唱，我覺得小大衛唱得比Aaron好。
老天我好想念花癡的Paula～
Katie唱得很好啊，可是好無趣喔！誰叫他要挑Let It Be＞＜不過我覺得已經算是恰到好處了啦！有展現到唱功～
前幾周冠軍師兄Kris Allen在Idol Gives Back上有唱這歌，也是花招百出（天啊我是有多恨Kris）～不過我覺得他唱得收放自如，很動人也很犀利，不愧是冠軍。
天啊後面我雞皮都跑出來了...，可惜Kris的個人專輯賣很糟＞＜快幫他加油一下！
Andrew Garcia我的愛，這Can't Buy Me Love被批得有點慘＞＜我覺得唱得不差啦，但少了點大亮點，我也覺得他應該做更多。可是從頭到尾我們好像都對Andrew很苛刻，我想他是缺了些氣勢和熱情～快把你的靈魂拿出來啦！
Frankly, my dear，這首歌我最愛的版本是麥可布雷的耶！不過我們要看的是X Factor第四季得主－「新傑米卡倫」（這我亂冠的）Leon Jackson的現場比賽版～讚！（自己在那裡high）
天啊又帥又會唱，這像話嗎？其實他有點像Zac Efron耶！但爵士這一掛的在AI超不吃香的。
大麥克唱的是Eleanor Rigby，唱得很好，像聽CD一樣，就這樣。對我來說，他還是匠氣的不得了＞＜
這歌上上屆冠軍David Cook也唱過，他唱得比較性感一點，有趣多了～
媽呀Cook好帥＞＜雖然當時我是小大衛陣營的～
接下來是令人期待的MamaSox～他要唱大金曲Come Together耶！
Gee! They said the kid got soul! 是有點想看她做更多啦，但要Crystal更多也太貪心了！他肯定是TOP 2啦！
Kris Allen又要出現了，他也曾在比賽中演唱過這首歌。抱歉抱歉一直出現差不多的人，畢竟我是從Blake Lewis（第六屆？）才開始認真看AI的。
找不到比賽影檔啦！將就一下，我保證這和他比賽現場唱得方式差不了多少。
Tim Urban唱了All My Love，獲得評審們的好評～當然我是覺得蠻平的。但這次至少他給我好好的唱了一首歌，穩穩唱完。
哈哈直接進入Casey的Jealous Guy～因為我對All My Love比較不熟。
Cacey頭髮越來越Q了。哇喔這歌聽起來雖無趣了點，但他放了很多感情進去耶！值得給予好評～
才子Gavin DeGraw在某合輯也唱過，說真的他來比賽也能進十強！
Siobhan這周唱Across the Universe，這真是我的favorite of all time！推薦人是Phoenix和馬蘭同學～Across the Universe是人類首次對外太空放送的歌曲，所以要說他是地球人的歌也不為過吧！但美國人也真是討厭，擅自就決定了代表地球人的歌曲，也可以放鄧麗君小城故事啊！
一開始真的有feed back的雜音耶！看電視時我還以為是我家電視的問題，到底怎麼回事？話說回來Siobhan這次唱得真好，沒有她的招牌尖叫也是管用嘛！（不過後面飆高那裡我覺得還是過兇～）怪妹也是可以走這種宇宙和平的感性風。我覺得他上一周受到的打擊真的太大了，感覺上他是很好勝的人。
諸多版本中我的最愛是Rufus Wainwright版，超棒的！找到了在某盛會中他和Sean Lennon與Moby的合作，真是A級組合。
Sean的招牌高音好明顯喔！也該給我出新專輯了吧？讓人等好久。上一張Friendly Fire很不錯，有乃父之風。
來到了最後，Lee演唱了知名的Hey Jude，不知道大家吃不吃這種鐵漢柔情版？不過我覺得Lee唱歌都蠻真誠的，若他走Chris Daughtry那種路線，感覺上能紅！後面走下來那位愛爾蘭大叔也太經典了吧＞＜增加不少視覺效果。這歌Lee發揮不大，但大家可以發現他確實帶動了全場的氣氛，這才是當明星的重點啦！
Hey Jude這歌聽說是麥爵在藍儂和妻子離婚時，為了安慰Julian而寫的，這個叔叔人也太好了吧！不過Julian蠻可憐的，不管是家庭還是事業，唉藍儂也真是，風流才子啊！
我發現這歌台灣人還蠻愛唱的，老外唱的就少了些，這都要感謝孫燕姿＞＜想起剛被淘汰的Didi Benami也唱過，正好來緬懷一下。
其實她唱得很有趣不是嗎？如果他上周表現好一點的話，她靠這歌絕對可以晉級八強。（可是她好愛哭喔～）還有Avril好可愛喔！我要對她說一百次YES!!!!
That's it! 期待誰會晉級TOP 8吧！這周表現最好我給Crystal, Casey和Siobhan～
Andrew Garcia's Top 10 Performance - Forever (by Chris Brown)
Andrew is BACK!! 這編曲雖不如Straight Up高明，但也是跳脫原曲的風格，且充分展現
Andrew式的acoustic瀟灑～過了上周，相信大家可以重新開始期待Andrew加入American
Idol火熱的戰局！
是不？和原版有些差別？沒想到這首歌也可以走這樣的瀟灑路線＞＜
接下來是傳說中Hollywood Week中，Andrew重編的神曲－
天啊真是有夠老派＞＜但這踢踏舞可是蠻神的，我敢說以現代的眼光來看，這舞還是牛得很（天啊我居然會說牛＞＜）接下來換Andrew上場啦！
Kara真是陶醉，或許這也是她為什麼者幾周都對Andrew很嚴厲的原因吧！但我看這一集的時候，真的覺得TOP2是AG的囊中物了＞＜

[轉錄] 黑眼豆豆打破 51 年來紀錄 成為連續冠軍週數最久藝人
原文：http://www.wretch.cc/blog/umusicpop/3044332
美國告示牌雜誌宣佈，嘻哈天團 The Black Eyed Peas / 黑眼豆豆 打破告示牌排行榜 51 年來的紀錄！黑眼豆豆以 ＜Boom Boom Pow＞與 ＜I Gotta Feeling＞兩首單曲強霸告示牌單曲榜冠軍長達 20 週，已打破由 Usher在 2004 年創下的歌手連續 19 週冠軍的紀錄。黑眼豆豆團長 will.i.am.與女主唱 Fergie對於這項跨越半世紀的紀錄絲毫不敢居功，除了感謝歌迷的支持之外，也把這項榮耀歸功於所有參與【The E.N.D. / 能量豆陣】的工作人員，菲姬在接受訪問時更有感而發地表示：「藝人的影響力越大，越要注意自己的言行，因為我們都是青少年學習的對象。」
黑眼豆豆不但紅翻天，配合度高，又會帶動現場氣氛，所以成為各大企業最喜歡合作的藝人。豆豆宣佈 9 月將再度回到亞洲參加兩個大型活動與歌迷見面，首先 9 月 25 日將在馬來西亞吉隆坡為啤酒品牌「Guinness」的 250 週年慶活動登台表演，26 日再飛往新加坡參加由環球音樂與 F1 Formula 一級方程式賽車合辦的「F1 ROCKS 搖滾音樂會」，屆時亞洲歌迷又可再度感受黑眼豆豆的音樂魅力。

[轉錄] Jay-Z, Rihanna, Kanye West’s Dark “Run This Town” Video Debuts
8/20/09, 1:58 pm EST
The video for Jay-Z’s Blueprint 3 single “Run This Town” wasn’t supposed to premiere on MTV until tonight, but since this is 2009 and premiere and release dates mean next to nothing, the video leaked out yesterday (MTV Germany reportedly jumped the gun, according to Nah Right). Thankfully, MTV pushed up the video’s debut, giving us a higher-quality view of the post-apocalyptic world occupied by Jay-Z, Rihanna and Kanye West that was envisioned by director Anthony Mandler. It’s a civilization that takes Jigga’s lyrical motif of “all black everything” very seriously. (Watch it, after the jump.)
When we first heard “Run This Town,” we pictured Jay-Z and his posse staging a siege on Manhattan, or at least going to all the VIP spots most civilians only dream about like in the “D.O.A. (Death of Autotune)” video. Instead, we’re introduced to a Mad Max-like landscape full of proto-biker gear, torches, face scarves and bombed-out buildings. Jay-Z and his gang of ruffians actually look like they’re on a mission to slay Auto-Tune. Also, according to the video, Rihanna is the only female to survive the apocalypse, and West’s verse about Reeboks, Rav4s and girls with two bee stings seem starkly out of place in the dismal future.
As Rock Daily previously reported, Jay-Z, Rihanna, Kanye West and probably some of those outfits will be on hand when the trio performs “Run This Town” in Los Angeles for the premiere episode of The Jay Leno Show on September 14th. The night before, Jay-Z—possibly with West and RiRi in tow—will take the stage at the MTV Video Music Awards at New York’s Radio City Music Hall. The Blueprint 3 itself will hit shelves September 11th. In addition to West and Rihanna, Alicia Keys, Young Jeezy, Drake, Empire of the Sun and more will feature on BP3.
-----------------------------------------------------------
Jay-Z’s “Blueprint 3” Track List Features Alicia Keys, Young Jeezy
8/19/09, 9:25 am EST
With less than a month until the release of Jay-Z’s The Blueprint 3, Jigga has revealed the track list for his highly anticipated album on his official Website. Of the record’s 15 tracks, only three songs find Jay-Z going it solo — the rest boast a kind of hip-hop all-star team. In addition to contributions from Kanye West and Rihanna on “Run This Town” and the previously reported collaborations with Drake, Kid Cudi and Mr Hudson, The Blueprint 3 will also feature appearances from Alicia Keyes, Young Jeezy, Swizz Beatz and Pharrell. Kanye, who served as producer for a bulk of the tracks on BP3, will also appear on the track “Hate.”
Noticeably absent from the features listed on the Blueprint 3 track list are MGMT, who Jay-Z had previously said would be contributing to a song on BP3. (They still might serve as producers on one of the BP3 tracks.) Another notable name that has disappeared from the unconfirmed track list from June is Nas, who was rumored to feature on the track “Empire State of Mind.” The song remains on the album, only now it stars Alicia Keys. Luke Steele of Empire of the Sun, whose debut was one of our favorite albums from last year, appears on opener “What We Talkin’ About.”
As Rock Daily previously reported, Jay-Z will perform one of Blueprint 3’s 15 tracks at this year’s MTV Video Music Awards on September 13th. The following day, Jay-Z will jump from New York to Los Angeles to perform “Run This Town” on the debut episode of The Jay Leno Show with Rihanna and Kanye West. And of course, The Blueprint 3 is out on September 11th, exactly eight years after the release of the original Blueprint.
Check out the BP3 track list below:
1. “What We Talkin’ About” (featuring Luke Steele of Empire of the Sun)
2. “Thank You”
3. “D.O.A. (Death of Auto-Tune)”
4. “Run This Town” (featuring Kanye West and Rihanna)
5. “Empire State of Mind” (featuring Alicia Keys)
6. “Real As it Gets” (featuring Young Jeezy)
7. “On to the Next One” (featuring Swizz Beatz)
8. “Off That” (featuring Drake)
9. “A Star is Born” (featuring J. Cole)
10. “Venus vs. Mars”
11. “Already Home” (featuring Kid Cudi)
12. “Hate” (featuring Kanye West)
13. “Reminder”
14. “So Ambitious” (featuring Pharrell)
15. “Young Forever” (featuring Mr Hudson)

[轉錄] Jay-Z's 'Run This Town' Video

Kanye West and Rihanna co-star in clip, which recalls 'Mad Max.'
By Jayson Rodriguez
When it comes to his music videos, Jay-Z has logged some pretty serious frequent-flier miles.
The Brooklyn wordsmith ventured up north to Toronto for the "Big Pimpin' " video and even trekked overseas to Monaco for his "Show Me What You Got" clip. So where could he go for his next video, "Run This Town," featuring Kanye West and Rihanna?
Back in time, maybe? Queens, New York? In fact, both!
In a 30-second preview of "Run This Town" (the second single from Jay's forthcoming Blueprint 3 LP), we see an angry, torch-wielded mob surrounding the trio in a post-apocalyptic setting that looks like a scene right out of "Mad Max."
Anthony Mandler, who directed the video for Jay's first single "D.O.A. (Death of Auto-Tune)," is the man behind the camera and brings his cinematic touch to the clip. The visuals are unlike anything we've come to expect from Jay-Z in the past. From "Roc Boys (And the Winner Is ...)" to I Just Wanna Luv U (Give It 2 Me)", Jay has mastered being the life of the party. But "Run This Town," with its action sequences and cast of extras is new territory for the MC.
The video was shot in Queens, New York recently and pictures of Jay, Kanye and Rihanna on the set leaked onto the Internet last week, revealing the artists clad in all black. Sources told MTV News at the time that more than 80 extras were on set at the historic Fort Totten Park, a preserved Civil War fortress.
In the preview, a number of extras can be seen, also clad in black and acting unruly while bearing torches.
The video premieres Thursday on MTV — and don't miss Jay's performance at the VMAs on September 13!
----------------------------------------------------------
The 2009 MTV Video Music Awards will take place September 13 at 9 p.m. ET. Additional celebrity presenters and performers will be announced in the coming weeks. To be the first to find out the inside scoop, follow the Inside MTV Twitter account at Twitter.com/InsideMTV.

Drake’s ＜Best I Ever Had＞ MV
小韋恩的師弟Drake，一個勉強算是最近出道的加拿大rapper，其實已經在演藝圈打滾多年了。要不是這張09年的單曲＜Best I Ever Had＞，恐怕還要繼續隱姓埋名做些mixtape或featuring的零工。不說MV劇情相當有趣，辣妹滿天飛加鏡頭超級色，光是歌曲本身就已經夠讓人通體舒暢，百聽不厭，也難怪美榜的成績如此囂張，僅居黑眼豆豆後為居第三名。
今年Drake還將和MJB與Jay-Z合作，還蠻期待的。不過收錄這首單曲的專輯《So Far Gone》似乎蠻冷調的，不知是否是曲比專輯強？儘管如此，已經開始期待他的第一張個人專輯了。
推到 Plurk!
Jay-Z’s ＜D.O.A. (Death of Auto-Tune)＞ MV
傑斯在6/28的BET Awards上首度公開了自己最新專輯《The Blueprint³》中第一波主打＜D.O.A.＞的MV。這是一支頗為老派的饒舌歌曲，目地就是為了要「Anti-Auto-Tune」，讓這波大堆頭風潮止於東岸天王的新專輯。此單曲一出，會不會窘到某一些人呢？畢竟現在的音樂好像不來個Auto-tune就不夠潮，更何況亞洲才剛掀起這樣的熱潮呢＞＜只能說天王果真的是先知型的人物，有種Anti-fashion，不然這種編曲手法還真不知道要玩到何年何月。
憑良心講這張單曲不是很好聽啦，就像我剛才說的，這是一支老派的饒舌歌曲，目地就是要反流行，所以不管是有沒有喜歡傑斯的人恐怕都不會在有更多好感。不過老實講這張單曲最大的意義可能不是好聽或銷量（因為目前銷量真的還要加油，但畢竟才剛上榜而已），而是標記著流行音樂演進的一個里程碑。再說了，MV裡面除了哈維凱托露面一下之外，還有King James雷霸龍友情客串（但那段打球的橋段還蠻鳥的），所以還是有一絲絲可看性。

第一屆的金嗓資優生 Kelly Clarkson，拿下多達60座的獎項光環肯定、全球專輯銷售大破千萬關頭；第三屆的Jennifer Hudson，除了展現驚人爆發力外，更以電影「夢幻女郎Dreamgirls」自然生動的演技艷冠群雌，接連拿下美國奧斯卡、金球獎、英國電視/電影最高榮譽BAFTA之「最佳女配角」加冕；第四屆的Carrie Underwood，拱出首位鄉村界的第一甜姐兒，靠著七白金認證之《Some Hearts》締造各屆AI賣座最優的處女秀；第五季的Chris Daughtry以樂團方式闖蕩歌壇、也是第一位雙霸告示牌流行+搖滾榜冠軍的參賽者；還有第六屆創下17歲年紀最輕的冠軍得主Jordin Sparks，以及第七屆外型歌路大相逕庭的David Cook與David Archuleta之爭，都是令歌迷津津樂道的精采橋段，也成功於樂壇闖下一片天。
第八季的AI，由原本三位評審，增加兼具歌手/詞曲編寫/製作人身份的Kara DioGuardi，也從12人多添1名參賽者共同角逐最後榮譽。隨著2009年5月20號競賽落幕，挑選前10強齊力發行《American Idol: Season 8》合輯。首波勵志追夢強打〈No Boundaries〉，分別珍藏鄰家男孩冠軍Kris Allen，和視覺搖滾客亞軍Adam Lambert版本，Kris率先拿下美國流行榜Top11+成人抒情榜Top23席次，另外兩人再多收錄Adam詮釋英國經典樂團Tears For Fears名曲〈Mad World〉，及Kris演唱迪斯可皇后Donna Summer經典〈She Works Hard For The Money〉；身為教堂音樂總監的季軍Danny Gokey，以放克搖滾風格重新詮釋Ben E. King的〈Stand By Me〉；已被Jive唱片簽下的17歲紅髮小魔女殿軍Allison Iraheta，獻唱Bonnie Raitt入籍滾石雜誌「史上五百首經典歌曲」名單的〈I Can't Make You Love Me〉；曾發行過兩張專輯的第五名Matt Giraud，拿出最擅長的R&B與漂亮真假音轉換演繹Michael Jackson暢銷作〈Human Nature〉；黑人金嗓歌姬Lil Rounds，特選白人美聲女伶Celine Dion最感人肺腑之〈I Surrender〉；流有印度血統獲得保送進入決賽的Anoop Desai，以鋼琴和弦樂輔佐之〈Always On My Mind〉，感動你我的心。
AI8雖然落幕，但一首首感人的歌曲卻在這裡讓人回憶十位歌手的精彩演出，誰會是下一位風靡歌壇的超級巨星，讓我們拭目以待。【內附英文歌詞】
曲目：
01.No Boundaries-Kris Allen
02.Stand By Me-Danny Gokey
03.I Can't Make You Love Me-Allison Iraheta
04.Human Nature-Matt Giraud
05.Mad World-Adam Lambert
06.She Works Hard For The Money-Kris Allen

10.Walkin' After Midnight-Megan Joy
11.Always On My Mind-Anoop Desai
12.No Boundaries-Adam Lambert
------------------------------------------------------
不要問我該不該買，因為我還是覺得曲目很爛……，但衝著＜No Boundaries＞、＜She Works Hard For The Money＞還有＜Stand By Me＞，我可能會考慮一下（但我剛才看這張好像要400多塊@@也太貴了吧～）。
個人prefer:
Kris Allen: Ain't No Sunshine或Heartles
Adam Lambert: (I Can't Get No) Satisfaction或Black or White或Feeling Good
Danny Gokey: Come Rain or Come Shine
Allison Iraheta: I Don't Want to Miss a Thing
Matt Giraud: Viva la Vida或You Found Me
Megan Joy: Rockin' Robin
Michael Sarver: I Don't Want to Be
然後其他沒提到的就是我完全沒興趣，也不在乎他們要收什麼歌的人＞＜唉，只能說品味不同，但這優勝特典的選歌，我真的覺得可以丟到垃圾桶去～

Matt Giraud＜Viva La Vida＞
American Idol第8季第5名的Matt Giraud在Top36時所演唱的比賽曲，氣勢不輸Chris Martin耶！不過有種初生之犢的拼勁和緊張感～唉Matt就是實力有餘而表現不足啊！
因為今天nicherie在噗浪上提到某甲翻唱了這首歌，於是乎又讓我想到了Matt的版本。根據楊小店（2009），Matt的版本有點可怕，well是這樣子沒錯，Matt他就是一個會不時小爆的人，個人風格、台風、穩定度和靈感是Matt最缺乏的。
（這麼多缺點，難怪他最後只有第五名＞＜但我還蠻喜歡他的聲音～）

Lady Gaga＜Paparazzi＞完整版MV
不是因為Lady Gaga紅才推薦，而是因為MV裡的男主角是我心愛的Alexander Skarsgård啊！就是＜天使與魔鬼＞裡瑞士衛兵團團長和＜神鬼奇航＞裡鞋帶比爾Stellan Skarsgård的兒子，同時也是飾演＜True Blood＞中吸血鬼北美第五區警長的Eric Northman～總之就是帥！
可惡，Lady Gaga根本就是自肥嘛！居然讓Alex這樣全身親透透＞＜喔～Alex的頭髮這樣也好帥喔！

[轉錄] Adam Lambert Pre-'Idol' Debut Album Due This Summer

真怕是一張被做爛的專輯......。成名以後最怕這種事情發生，過往的東西被拿出來大炒特炒，19/RCA搞不好正在跳腳。（話說回來說不定也是一張風向球專輯，前公司和現東家的開心合作？）

It looks like Adam Lambert's debut album may not be released on 19 Recordings/RCA after all. Sources confirm to Billboard.com that an album's worth of tracks Lambert co-wrote and recorded before "Idol" will be released in the summer by Hi Fi Recordings and Wilshire Records. Entitled "On With The Show," the album is slated for release in the summer, months before Lambert's debut on 19/RCA is expected to drop.
Lambert's first single, "Want," is streaming now on the Hi Fi Recordings official website, and according to the company's CEO John Hecker, the rest of the tracks will sound similar. "The music's amazing," says Hecker. "There are some uptempo [songs], there's some that rock a little more, and there are some songs on the same tip as "Want." It's a real album that's coming out, not just a conglomerate of a bunch of songs. This is all original material -- as a matter of fact, Adam wrote a lot of it."
According to Hi Fi, Lambert co-wrote the material that will appear on the album and even made a trip to the Wilshire Records studio in Los Angeles as recently as May 2009 to hear it. "He was in the Wilshire Records studio right before the finale actually, and he was blown away by the material."
Hi Fi Recordings did not notify 19 Entertainment about its intent to release Lambert's debut album before announcing the news on Friday afternoon. "I bet they know now," Hecker says.
Later, Lambert issued a statement through 19. "Back in 2005 when I was a struggling artist, I was hired as a studio singer to lend my vocals to tracks written by someone else," he said. "I was broke at the time and this was my chance to make a few bucks, so I jumped at the opportunity to record for my first time in a professional studio. The work I did back then in no way reflects the music I am currently in the studio working on. I'm thrilled to be working with some of today's hottest songwriters and producers and can't wait for people to hear what my music really sounds like."
As reported earlier, Lambert is working with Lady GaGa producer RedOne and with ex-Evanesence songwriter David Hodges.
Adam Lambert's "Want" was produced by L.A. based New Zealand expat Malcolm Welsford, a principal at Wilshire Records, and features additional production by Mark Endert, who has produced or co-produced several Hot 100 hits including Maroon5's "Makes Me Wonder," Vertical Horizon's "Everything You Want" and "I Don't Want To Be" by Gavin DeGraw. Endert declined to comment, while his manager at Nettwerk, Alia Fahlborg, admitted that they knew it would be controversial. "He's very proud of the work he did," she said.
Welsford does not have a listed number, nor does Wilshire Records. His LinkedIn profile lists an additional company, Wilshire Publishing, and claims Adam Lambert as part of its roster. Welsford was unreachable for comment.
When pressed for more information on the terms of Lambert's non-exclusive agreement with Wilshire Records and whether or not the singer will see any compensation from the album, Hecker responded, "I don't really want to talk about the nuts and bolts of the business deal...but I can tell you that Adam will share in the success."
Hecker says he was approached by Wilshire Records about releasing Lambert's material soon after the singer made his first appearance on "Idol" in January 2009. "When they first discussed it with me I was really hesitant, because usually when there's music that's been recorded earlier, the stuff isn't so good. This stuff is unbelievable. We saw that it was the right thing for fans to hear this music. We're doing everything on the highest level, from the mixes to how we're promoting it."
Hi Fi Recordings is the label home of Melinda Doolitle, who finished third on Season 6 of "American Idol" and was a favorite contestant of Simon Cowell. But Hecker says that he's never been in touch with 19 Entertainment about striking a deal with a top "Idol" alum. "It wasn't relevant," he insists. Since jumping into the music business in 1995, Hecker signed the U.K. band Spacehog as well as Avril Lavigne, who was on his imprint through Arista.
The CEO says he's "100%" confident that his company has the legal right to debut its Adam Lambert album before 19/RCA does theirs. "We would never put anything out that wasn't fully owned by the parties involved with all the rights secured. We were really careful."
"I'm working [Adam's] brand with as much care as anybody could," adds Hecker. "I do not want to hurt this guy, I want this guy to be as huge as he should be, and I think this music is only going to help."

看來Kris的陣容也是相當令人心癢啊！冠軍果然還是有冠軍該有的資源～

Kris Allen and Adam Lambert, the winner and runner-up of last month's "American Idol" finals, are doing double duty these days: both are rehearsing for this summer's "American Idols Live" tour while working with some of the top pop songwriters and producers on material for their forthcoming debut albums, each of which are due on 19 Recordings in the fall.
"I've been writing a lot with a lot of different people, and it's going well," Allen says. In fact, sources tell Billboard.com that he's been working with some of the top songwriters and producers, including David Hodges (Kelly Clarkson, Daughtry), Salaam Remi (Nas, Amy Winehouse) and Claude Kelly (Akon, Leona Lewis). Allen also hit Timbaland's studio in Virginia Beach to work with Joe King of the Fray, whose take on Kanye West's "Heartless" inspired Allen's own performance of the song during the competition. Allen attended the group's show that evening after the writing session.
While Allen has been experimenting with some urban-influenced styles, he's honing the material for the album in a John Mayer/Jason Mraz direction. "Each writing session has been a learning experience," he says. "I think that we are trying to figure it out and that it's going the right way and I'm really excited about it. I can't wait."
Lambert has teamed up with hotshot producer RedOne, the studio wizard who's had a hand in crafting Lady GaGa's worldwide chart-topping hits "Poker Face" and "Love Game," as well as working with Michael Jackson, Usher and the Backstreet Boys. RedOne revealed to the L.A. Times that he hopes to record at least six tracks for Lambert's record (although he wasn't sure if they'd all make the cut).
"I want to go rock -- David Bowie and Queen, but make it more easy for people to get," the producer said of his vision for Lambert. "It has to be rock, but with an interesting dance angle to it, you know? You'll like it.
"You can go almost whatever direction with him. People know him from being on 'American Idol,' singing other people's songs, but you can take him in a new direction, and this will be the first time you hear Adam Lambert with his signature. My goal is to get his signature out from him to the world."
Lambert is also working on songs with David Hodges, the former Evanesence member whose songwriting talents have appeared on a number of "Idol" contestants' albums. Hodges is currently the only writer who has worked with both Lambert and Allen.
Meanwhile, Lambert's recent revelation of the straight boy crush he has on his former "Idol" roommate has left Allen unfazed.
"He was so funny," Allen says. "He texted me that day, like, 'I'm so embarrassed.' I'm like, 'No, are you serious? Don't be embarassed. I think that's hiliarious.' My wife, she's so funny. She was like, 'Tell Adam I have a crush on HIM.' "
"He is something different that no one's probably seen before, at least in a long time. But we're two completely different artists as well, so I don't think either one of us have anything to worry about."
真怕是一張被做爛的專輯......。成名以後最怕這種事情發生，過往的東西被拿出來大炒特炒，19/RCA搞不好正在跳腳。（話說回來說不定也是一張風向球專輯，前公司和現東家的開心合作？）
