Some new songs

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.

This is my report thus far of the latest songs that have come to me. Have YOU heard of any latest song releases that could be interesting? Post it in the comments below – you can even embed a Youtube vid in it. :)

Like wild horses…

I feel that wild horses are now running…

for Susan Boyle.

She’s landed in America for the first time, to sing there for the first time, tracks from her very first album, I Dreamed a Dream. Yes, the same name as the world-famous audition song.

She’s had a first-time very transformational makeover, so much that she look much much better now. I’d say she’ll look fantastic even if she’s really riding a wild horse. However the mainstream media strangely never took notice of her new looks. Here’s a very recent photo of Susan, from here.

Lovely?

Anyway, it’s Susan’s first time releasing her debut album (which will be released in November), and one of the songs which Times Online UK says she will sing is Wild Horses (original by Rolling Stones). Hear her soul in the music below, lyrics included:

Well Susan can’t really run free like a wild horse yet. She’s been taken to Disneyland for some Mickey Mouse fun after hordes of fans and media personnel “mobbed” her. Maybe a song of the same name from Natasha Bedingfield will do the trick for now:

So, on a typical working weekday like Tuesday, would you feel running carefreely like a wild horse? ;)

I like Taylor Swift – and she won!

At the just concluded Video Music Awards in New York, one of the more-highlighted events was when Taylor Swift won Best Female Video Award, and rightly so, because You Belong With Me is simply amazing to the core! :D

However, it seems that Kanye West was not really that happy about it – he snatched the mike from Taylor as she was giving her acceptance speech…

Hmmm, since I knew about it from Mashable, I’d like to ask the same question too:

Was it staged, or just Kanye being Kanye?

Anyway, I don’t care so much. I like most of the songs from her album, so I guess I’m a fan of hers. I like her music and her very creative and innovative music – you don’t simply have people going crazy over country pop so easily, like until now. It appears that later on, Beyonce, whom Kanye tried to prop up in the mike-snatching incident, selflessly invited Taylor for a “do-over” (refer here). So all ends well that starts well, I guess? :D This is an opportunity for me to share one of my favourite MVs with you, so here is the VMA award-winning MV – You Belong With Me:
