I recently heard.

Kris Allen, winner of American Idol season 8, has recently released a single named “Live Like We’re Dying”. It’s actually the same song by The Script. I heard both versions, and I gotta say, Kris did do a good job, but it sounded too similar to The Script’s version.

Compare it to The Script:

Hmmm…

I read that Kris will release his very first album on November 17. Maybe he should really try his best since Adam Lambert (!) will release his very first album too, just one week later on November 24. Are we looking for another AI-style showdown again? :O

But then again, Kris looks so cute, like the pretty boy next door. I believe a lot of gals (and maybe guys too :P ) will buy his album, lol. So where does that leave Adam? C’mon we wanna hear a single from the 2012 soundtrack at least. ;) Adam sang a track for the 2012 movie and that song is supposedly going to be included in the soundtrack album as well.

2nd.

Drake’s new song Forever. I think you should watch the 1-minute commentary by James Montgomery of MTV below to get the hang of what the song is all about.

Personally, this felt like Eminem making a comeback of sorts. Not that I like his songs, but this is perhaps one of the songs with Eminem in it that I actually felt was interesting. All in all the song was good although I probably wouldn’t have it on my iTunes download list.
