Kris Allen Is Going To Where Dreams Come True

Congrats Kris,last night the Idol Season 8 crown went to Kris Allen , I'm so proud of him he deserved to win and can't wait to hear from him for years to come , we love you Kris , Congrats check out this video , i'll do a full post later on in the day :)

Adam & Kris Race To The Finish

Last night was sadly the last performance show of the season , and it was Adam Lambert's and Kris Allen's final time to show America what they got....and that they did here's the rundown.

Round One - Personal Choice

Adam Lambert- He started the show off with his Personal Choice of "Mad World" that he did back in Birth Year Week, and I think it was even more amazing on the big stage it was haunting and beautiful , especially with the foggy entrance he came into , Kara praised him saying "You rocked it again tonight" Paula stated what is usually a kiss of death saying "he looked incredibly handsome " but she adored it , and Randy gave him an "A-plus for Adam!"

Kris Allen- For his personal choice was "Aint No Sunshine" from Top Downloads week which he was highly praised on , he did an amazing job once again and like i said so much better on the big stage I love when he's on the piano , Randy said "That was one of your best performances ever on this stage!" , Kara praised Kris on his ability to connect with the audience which she always seeks out saying , "You make us feel like you're singing directly to us" and Simon called Kris the champion of Round 1:)

Round 2 Simon Fuller's Choice

Adam- Simon Fuller's was "A Change Gonna Come" and by the way he looked so handsome in his Burberry suit , anyway he was able to change up the R&B hit to his own unique rock style while still keeping it have the same feeling and message, Simon told him "This puts you 100% back in the competition" and got praises from the rest of the judges.

Kris - Simon Fuller's choice for Kris , keeping with a sort of socially conscious theme , was "What's Going On" and you know what I thought he did really good , on his guitar and changed it to his kinda Jason Mraz feel , Randy & Simon weren't sure if it was enough at this stage in the competition , and Simon called Round 2 on " A million percent Adam".

Round 3 - The Coronation Song (Co-written by Kara)

Adam -was the first to belt out Kara's song "No Boundaries" which is a good song , but i feel there is alot of lyrics to sing , Adam did his best with this song , having it keep the sound of a usual Idol winning song , but still having his glam rock feel on it , Good job Adam! :)It didn't seem like any of the judges cared for the song except for Kara , Simon said" Look , I'm not going to judge you on that performance , I'm going to judge you on the season , and you have been one of the most original contestants .... and when we do this we look for someone who could be an international star and I now we've found that with you".

Kris - was next on the final song performance of the season with , his take on "No Boundaries" which was also another best try and he did a solid performance,( I'm starting to like the song more know by this point) , Randy told Kris "You should be very proud of what you've done in this competition" Simon praised him on his evolution in the competition saying "You have thoroughly deserved to be standing on this stage tonight" .

Ok that is it for the recap , but who will take it home? Kris and Adam are so incredibly different in styles of music , both talented nonetheless , but who will be crowned winner as Seacrest said it's the Guy Next Door VS. The Guyliner :) No matter what happens both of them deserve the best and we will be seeing them for a long time to come.

Adam Lambert & Kris Allen = Awesomeness

Ok I know i usually post the results the night they occur but I was so happy celebrating I did not obvioulsy and I'm sure everyone knows who are the final two , Adam & Kris , which i am so so happy for both they are two of the nicest people you will ever meet, not to mention talented Kris deserved this spot with his unique take on his song choices every week , like on "She Works Hard For The Money" , "To Make You Feel My Love" and just this past week "Heartless" and with that sweet tender voice of his, he truly shows his originality as an artist. Adam has never ceased to amaze us since the beginning of the season with his powerhouse vocals that I had no idea could be hit , or changing it up from a ballad like "Tracks Of My Tears" or rocking it out with "Born To Be Wild" or "Black Or White" he is truly a rockstar and knows who he is as an artist. Another reason I'm happy for this Top 2 especially is that Kris & Adam were roomates early on in the competition and have become really close friends and you can see that when they're together , Kris even supported with his buddy Adam by painting his thumb nail black , just like Adam's signature fingernails , a good compromise , and simply adorable , and no matter who wins Wednesday night , Kris & Adam you are still winnners to me and have long careers ahead of you , and you are two wonderful people and it has been a pleasure to get to know you Love ya <3

Idol Top 3 The Boys Club

Idols Top 3 Dudes hit the stage tonight with a song choice from the judges then their own and it was a night of surprises. Here's the recap. Danny was up first with Paula's choice of "Dance Little Sister" I've never heard the song before as did he so there's no comparison for me to the original but his performance wasn't awful he seemed to let loose more and the vocals weren't bad . Kara complimented Danny on his voice but as for his dance moves thumbs down I have to agree. Adorable Kris was up next with Kara & Randys choice of One Republic's "Apologize" which I thought was a pretty good choice for his sweet voice . Kris sang at the piano just like Ryan Tedder does in the video it was a solid vocal very memorable I luvs it but then again I'm partial :) Paula and Kara both agreed on wanting him to take more creative hold on the song as he has done before Please Vote! For Kris I want an Adam VS Kris Finale:) Adam rounded out the first round with Simon's choice of U2's "One" and by the way I love that song the tempo was slower then got faster different from the original I love when he starts out in his lower register then brings it home with his powerhouse vocal ability we all know him for simply superb! Kara learned how to use syllables in her judging un -be -li- ev- ab- le . Simon said of his victory lol "It was a brilliant performance and if your not in the final next week it will be a huge upset". Before round two started was a piece on Idol Gives Back with Carrie Underwood . The charity was started by the show back in Season 6 in order to provide aid for families and children in less fortunate areas around the world. Idol has raised over 140 million dollars with everyones donations. Carrie paid a visit to Angola Africa a place which was benefited from Idol by providing bed nets to keep them protected from Malaria and teaching them on how to protect themselves truly awesome keep up the good work everyone! Round 2 was each contestants song choice . Gokey was up first ( ya that's right I called him by his last name :p) singing "You Are So Beautiful" it was kind of a pretty performance if you leave out the beginning when it looked like he was having trouble breathing but he finished well damn it ! :( My boy Kris went a lil bit urban with his choice of Kanye West's "Heartless" on acoustic guitar which someone made a good point saying it was kind of Jason Mraz'y the no bad choice was very brave choice it being his possible last performance but he totally changed the melody and I have to totally applaud him for that it was awesome so VOTE! And for gods sake he broke a guitar string in the performance have a heart pweez:( Randy said he thought it was better than the Frays version and Kanye West's . Kara applauded him for his huge risk and Simon said it brought Kris back into the competition I hope! Adam closed the show with his choice of Aerosmith's "Cryin" and I think It was an awesome choice since he has the Steven Tyler scream he was all that in his rhinestone covered tee the attitude the voice go its just all so hot !it was too awesome for words . Randy said "You are one of the best we have ever had on this stage" Kara said "We'll see you at the finals" as did Paula get to voting America but get it right (Adam & Kris cough cough) Tune in tomorrow for the result I'm dreading :( but look forward to Katy Perry & Jordin Sparks performing her new single " Battlefield" accompanied by the writer Ryan Tedder @ 9 8c only on FOX!. Be sure to vote your lil hearts out but get it right :) and follow me on Twitter for more updates @Cookleta .

Idol Loses One Little Rocker

As I wipe the tears away right now ,17 year old Allison Iraheta was eliminated from Idol tonight after her performnace of "Cry Baby" , last night which I thought was amazing as well as her duet with Adam. Allison was of course the only girl left in the competition that now consists of the boy's club , she brought new life to the competition and wowed us all with her powerhouse voice at a younger age than previous contestants like Jordin Sparks and David Archuleta , her voice was distinct once gettig praise from Paula saying "you know its you from the first note". Allison had awesome performances like "Alone" , "Papa Was A Rolling Stone" , "I Don't Want To Miss A Thing " and "I Can't Make You Love Me" , she is destined for greatness and long career ahead of her Ryan reassured her "I'm sure I'll be playing your songs on the radio real soon." And that is a fact , we love you Allison you are truly amazing Before the sad was results was a music filled night with a manice peformance from NoDoubt and Daughtry took the stage to perform his single No Surprise , Kris also presented him with a plaque marking that his debut album had sold 5 million copies worldwide Rock On Chris! and then the one and only Paula Abdul performed her new hit "Just Here For The Music" which was awesome she was so happy on set today we love her so much :) Tune in next week when Danny , Adam & Kris perform two songs each one the judges choice , the other their and their hometown trips which is the ritual for the Top 3 , vot efor your fave its the pre-finals people !!

Taylor Swift "You Belong With Me"

Taylor's third single off her album has Taylor going back to school as cheerleader and bandgeek and co-stars cutie Lucas Till (from the Hannah Montana Movie) Enjoy :)

In Loving Memory Of Adam Cook

I'm sure you have all heard of the passing of David Cook's older brother Adam , who sadly passed away this past Saturday from a cancerous brain tumor he had been battling with for over 11 years, I want to take this time to send my deepest heartfelt regards to all of the Cook family and wish them support and strength in this difficult time . Adam meant so much to his family and to his brothers David and Andrew , I'm sure we all remember when David was on Idol and he sang 'Always Be My Baby' and he looked out in the crowd and started crying because Adam was able to see him there doing what he loved and David cared and loved him so much even during and after his Idol run David worked closely with charities and organizations for cancer research and The American Cancer Society or more media related events like Stand Up To Cancer! and most recently his appearance at the Annual Race For Hope DC a 5k race to benefit the National Brain Tumor Society , where he announced his brothers passing in his speech and I will leave you with some of the most heartfelt words David said in he speech " I may have lost one today ,but I've gained 9,000". Wishing you love and support David and family you truly are an inspiration to all of us <3

Idol Gets Ready To Rock

Even before the contestants peformed the songs Idol was off to a rocky start when stage manager Debbie fell of the staircase ( the one that Adam used last week) which is 20 feet high , and sent her to the hospital luckily for her she is doing well and will recover shortly , get well soon Deb, we love ya, another mishap was one of the glass towers that are on stage had shattered into pieces all over the stage causing sheer panic in the studio needless to say dress rehearsal was cancelled ,but only in Hollywood the show must go on , and it was a damn good one , here's a recap . First of was Adam who did Led Zeppelin's "Whole Lotta Love " which was a perfect suit for his vocal ability and he was able to totally rock out and show that stage presence that we all love , he recieved praise from Kara saying "you're not only a rockstar tou're a rock god!"and Paula always the clever one called him "a whole lotta perfect" Simon also gave him probably the highest honor saying "No one can top that now". Next up was Allison who came back fresh from the hair salon with Adam , complete with extensions and crimson highlights to set off the rocker vibe she already exudes, she sang Janis Joplin's "Cry Baby" which in mmy opinion I loved I thought it suited her voice perfectly and I think she's just awesome , she got mixed views from the judges , Kara & Randy preferring for her to have chosen a different song , and and Simon calling it ' A terrific vocal but too close to the original" give Allison a break you guys she's doing just fine in my opinion. Next up was the first ever pre-finale duet between two contestants in the competition it was Danny & Kris who took the stage with Styx "Renegade" which was good mix of Danny's raspy soulful voice and Kris' sweet and tender voice A+ in my book. Kris had the chance next to fly solo in which he covered The Beatles "Come Together" and I thought he did a really good job trying his best in a genre that he isnt exactly and rocked out as best he could and I loved it , Kara praised him for the same reason , while Simon said "it was like eating ice for lunch" that statement is up for debate. Next was Danny who did Aerosmith's "Dream On" which I love and the performance didn't seem to bad , but then it got to the final note and I was like WTF! he had tried to hard to rock out it wasn't him only Simon could sum it up saying "it was like watching a horror movie". Finally was the second duet of Addison (that's Adam and Allison's name combined clever huh?) the dynamic duo sang "Slow Ride" and it was amazing I couldn't think of a better pairing Adam's & Allison's voices are just so powerful and awesome I'm just speechless and that hug at the end was just so sweet awww .Simon commented on the two telling Adam "i think you just gave her a chance in the competition by that perfromance ". Whatever was said tonight Adam, Allison , Danny & Kris you Rock my world and you are all magnificent in your own ways;) Tune in tomorrow for Results :( but some awesome music fro Daughtry , No Doubt :) :) & Paula Abdul :) :) 9/8c only on FOX!
