hi...download Gizmo5 na software..just google and you are good to go....

adam is great AND he's gay

i like adam ..he's one of my faves....he's a nice guy too....his fans are also nice(american idol forums)...

my dear, you can't say they "murdered" it. because the arrangement in the studio version is EXACTLY the same as the original version by Smokey Robinson's group. AI was directed to use the original arrangement of the songs for the studio versions. that's why morag lata/kitchen utensils ilang gigamit na instruments.

AI was paying tribute to 50 years of Motown music..mao ila gi gamit ang original arrangement sa song. sayang kay nahan sad tah ko sa kang adam na TOMT (live)

yeah. okay lang. NOTHING amazing. kung dili lang siya gurang og batig nawong, i don't think mapansin to siya. typical singer you can easily see in a musical.

Before anything else, listen to Susan Boyle's version of "Cry Me A River" now posted on YouTube. That is not a run-of-the-mill voice!

And I would even dare say that she sang better than Patti LuPone, who sang in the Original London Cast recording.

To say her voice was no better than a typical Broadway or West End actor is to trivialize the whole Susan Boyle episode (or should I say saga, as this whole thing plays out in the coming weeks).

First, she was the very anti-thesis of a lot of good-looking people who only think they have talent, people who show up in auditions mouthing off about how good they are, and curse the judges when they are given the thumbs down.

Second, Susan Boyle is exactly why they have shows like "Britain's Got Talent" or "American Idol." Simon Cowell has said it time and again: these shows are for people who would never ever otherwise have had even an iota of a chance of getting into the business. Think Clay Aiken, or Jennifer Hudson, or many of the American Idol contestants who have now gone on to become successful recording artists. Had Susan Boyle walked into a talent agent's office, dili gyud siya tagdon. She wouldn't even have been able to sing a single note before being turned down.

Then there was the reaction of audience and judges alike before and after she sang. They expected a train wreck, but she bowled them over totally. They expected a train wreck because bati siyag nawong ug gurang. Then she sang the first bar and people were on their feet and cheering like crazy. Yes, she shattered their expectations, that expectation being that someone like her had no right to possess a voice like that, and that she had no right to realize her lofty dream of being a professional singer as good as Elaine Paige (notice how members of the audience rolled their eyes when she said she wanted to be like the great musical actress). Audience and judges judged her on her appearance, and as Amanda Holden said, they were all taught a lesson that night.

Her choice of song, "I Dreamed A Dream" from Les Miserables was especially touching. She may just as well have been singing out her own life story. There she was, an unemployed 47-year old, never been kissed by her own admission, who'd spent a large part of her life caring for aging parents and who now finds that most of her life is already behind her; that (as the song goes) her dreams had been "made and used and wasted." The last part of the song is particularly poignant:

I had a dream my life would be
So different from this hell I'm living
So different now from what it seems
Now life has killed the dream I dreamed.

Members of my own family were moved to tears when they watched Susan Boyle sing. Her song choice had a lot to do with it. If she had sung something sunny and upbeat like "My Favorite Things" (egad), people's reactions would have been totally different.

Okay, going back to AI now. Go Adam Lambert!
