~ Kris and Adam ~

by Tina~in_ut

Kris Allen and Adam Lambert both have songs playing on the radio right now. Kris’ “Live Like We’re Dying” is at #26 on Billboard’s Top 100 and Adam’s “Whataya Want From Me” is at #37. As of last week, Kris is also leading the Idol group with the most downloads for his song. I like both songs and know them pretty well by now. In fact, I liked them before I even knew who sang them. I’ve always favored Kris. I guess I like that he’s low key (some call it boring) and seems like a really nice guy. Adam is the bad boy and his antics make me laugh. Both have great voices, although they couldn’t be more different. It remains to be seen how well they’ll do compared with the other Idol alums. So far, they are nowhere near the star power of Kelly or Carrie. Time will tell. What do you think of these two songs/videos?

Tina, I don't dare try to watch those vids yet. Something's hoarding my bandwidth and I'd be celebrating my 100th birthday before the dang things loaded.

Good morning to everyone and have a wonderful Humpday!

Zona said...

Good Morning!

TINA: I liked both songs and videos..although I liked Kris' lyrics better..and be-bopped more to Adam's music. You're right though, both have really good voices..I sure hope they stick around for awhile!

BONACHI: Congrats on 1st! I hope your bandwidth is back to full power soon..I wrote that like I knew what I was talking about..didn't I?? ;)

Morning.. Bonacci.. Happy 1

Hi Zona!!

night.owls.sb said...

Ok.. gonna say it..

I am over Kris and Adam.. especially Adam.. Hated the way Adam looked at the Grammys.. When his song goes on the radio I change the station..

I can tolerate Kris more, kinda like his new song, but don't love it.

Now that I think back, last year was not a memorable AIdol year..

Kinda like the year Taylor won.. you forget quickly and move on

Hope this year is better..

My stress level is very high.. Life is pulling at me in many directions..

I have to run.. see you all tonite..

Hope all has a good day!

goldie said...

Good Morning Hooters!

Well hell, congrats on 1st Bona!

Hi Carol and Zona. Carol, my stress level is at about explosion point right now- geez!

I had no idea that was Kris Allen singing that song. I like it.
I am a bigger fan of Adam as a singer than seeing him on the red carpet.

Hope everyone has a good day.. I am hoping hump day goes quickly, one day closer to the weekend.

Today is Brynn's 4th birthday~~ talked to her on the phone, but a little sad I won't see her until the 12th. But big party then for her and her brother who turns 3 on March 1st.

Am I the only one who thinks Adam Lambert bears a striking resemblence to Liza Minelli?

DeeDee said...

Hidee everybidee!!

Well cut my legs off and call me shorty! I didn't know Chris (girls name) had a video.....and that he was interested in Broadway musicals! I mean he must have seen Rent to have swiped that song......Live like your Dying....sounds a tad like Seasons of love..lyrically...well...at least he is not totally tone deaf.
Isn't that title sort of an oxymoron....or is it ironic that he is singing about living like ur dying.....because I estimate his TOD professionally in a year or less...

Adam Lambert. Adam Lambertino. The Bertster. The man.
I don't think it is really fair to put hot and snot together for comparison. Adam has the look. With or without makeup. Sexy Gorgeous! And what a voice.....I am sure his vast range of talent will be seen in acting as well as singing...he has all the makings of a long super star career...

And ya know I understand thats my opinion and everyone has their own favorite.....

And I think circumstances have a lot to do with most peoples opinions....a few people were offended by the publicity stunt at the AMA'S when Adam ground his pelvis in that young mans face...and when he grabbed that girls who-ha....or ran his tongue down that band members throat....

You won't see Chris pulling any of that! Mainly because you won't see Chris....but if you do see him on stage the only thing he will be blowing is that high note he flubbed on American idol.....

And you never know what someones day was like when they formed their opinion....maybe it was a really hot day....maybe your panties were bunching up or your girdle was too tight. Maybe your brassiere straps were digging in your shoulders...who knows?

But one thing that I do know is that I have my opinion and it is the right one. Being right about everything used to bring a lot of stress and responsibility.....but I have learned to accept that I know everything and that makes it easier....

Tina~in_ut said...

and THAT, ladies and gentlemen, is why I keep her in my life! shhhh....don't tell her she's wrong...she'll get her thong stuck on her hemorrhoid, she'll start sweating, and damn....that old lady smell will be all over the place~

Bonachichi~ congrats on first! fix that damn computer...good songs~ (and ur right about Liza!)

Zona~ stick with Kris~

Carol~ glad you like Kris better~ :)~

Goldie~ Happy Birthday to Brynn~

okay....i'm off to work~

bonachichi said...

Well, there's the world according to DeeDee. Love your outlook!

My computer problems had to do with massive file up/downloads. If your internet connection is like a road, imagine rush hour. Too many cars, not enough road. I had too much data, not enough bandwith. All is better, as I've finished most of the xfers.

Tina, why isn't someone feeding you?

Tina~in_ut said...

Bonachichi~ I walked into the classroom and there was a box of donuts and someone else brought crackers and cheese~ Training classes are a bitch!~

DeeDee said...

Speaking of bitches....the only pain in the butt that I have has a penchant for posting music videos by people whose cadence and syncopation are....lacking....

Tina~in_ut said...

I'm sorry.....did anyone hear that? Sounded like DeeDee farted~ :)~

bonachichi said...

And here I thought someone sharted.

Tina~in_ut said...

that's usually what she does~ ijs~

DeeDee said...

Seriously though folks.....

speaking of bitches....

I took my "little black dress" to the cleaners earlier today....

As I left the lady behind the counter said "come again".....

I said NO!! THIS TIME ITS TOOTHPASTE YOU NOSEY BITCH!!

Tina~in_ut said...

DeeDee~ what was she thinking?!!! Everyone knows you haven't had any kind of sex since the early 80's~ :D

Just_Lin said...

Bonach Too bad you can't see the vids but congrats on being first today. Btw, those scenes of Adam getting into a limo, I thought he looked a lot like a young, sultry Elvis. I was a big fan of young Elvis back in the old days.

Zona Adam's song is the one that makes me want to be-bop to, too.

Carol Sorry about the stress. Is it because you are so busy at work? I guess that's better than being stressed because of lack of business.

Goldie Happy birthday to the grandbabies. You'll have fun celebrating with them, no matter what day it is.

DeeDee LOL @ always being right. What do you know, so am I. ;)

Tina Thanks for the blog today. I still like Adam's voice and song better.

I started this comment hours ago and forgot to post it. LOL

Just_Lin said...

Tina Would you call that retro or vintage sex?

Bebbilane said...

Congrats on first Bonachichi!

Tina: I think that when I hear Adam's song I think of Pink because it was actually a song written for Pink but she didn't want it on her album and Adam ended up with it. I can hear how Pink would have done it too.

I love Kris Allen's song and the message. It really is awesome.

I would have considered myself a bigger fan of Adam than of Kris during that season of Idol but now, by far, I like Kris better!

Tina~in_ut said...

Bebbi~ you have good taste~

J/L~ lol~

Tina: I watched a few minutes of AI last night... Simon actually seemed nice!

Tina~in_ut said...

Bear~ Simon has been really funny this season~

night.owls.sb said...

I missed AIdol again tonite.. I hope I can at least watch next week..

night.owls.sb said...

J/L.. I think my stress is just everything going on right now.. work, family, money.. its just all builds up.. This last six months of being slow kicked my butt, and yes now work is coming in, but I have long way to go to catch up...

My business partner has not be well so that is adding to it, he comes into the office, but at times I see him zoning out..

I am hiring two new outside agents and with that comes training, which is a total pain in the ass..

My cousin the one with the drinking problem is finally showing improvement.. he is in a out patient rehab and goes to AA once a day.. I still have to keep a watchful eye out for him, which of course I do..

Oh my I chatted to much.. J/L are ya sorry ya asked.. :O)

night.owls.sb said...

There is very good news tho... We have a couple of blogs that will be posted by owls.. in the upcoming days.. so Tina and I will be able to chill a bit..

Thanks for all the owls that sent Tina and I blogs.. I appreciate it more than all of you will ever know..

Lately I think the nest has been in a funk and new blogs from owls will be refreshing..

The fun part is I did not read them, so I will read them when they get posted..

I am getting sleepy, I did not sleep well last nite, so I off to try and get some ZZZZZ's

Hope everyone had a good day

Bebbilane said...

Tina: I taste great too..and less filling.

Bebbilane said...

Carol: I sincerely apologize for being the most slacker blog buddy ever.

Just_Lin said...

Carol I would never be sorry I asked! I know how difficult it is to do your own work and still train someone new at the same time. It more than doubles your work, I swear, and yes, that makes it very difficult and stressful. You are probably wiped out at the end of the day. I hope your partner gains his strength back soon. Also, really glad to hear that your cousin is on the right path.

Bebbi I don't think you're the most slacker blog buddy, but it's much nicer to have you here than not. :)

Tina~in_ut said...

Bebbi~ lmbo!!! I didn't see that coming~

Carol~ I second that! I almost feel like I've got a week's vacation coming! :D Thanks everyone~

Bebbilane said...

J/L: You are always too kind to me, but I appreciate it very much.

Tina: well, ijs., I am.

Tina~in_ut said...

So bebbi!~ you taste urself? ija~

Dianne/Denver said...

Shoot...I thought it was going to be the song by Tim McGraw...I do like Kris though. I probably wouldn't pay to go to his concert but for sure not Adam.

I hope those of you that watched AI last night noted that bikini boy was from Denver...we are so proud. A radio station today said they were going to have him on for an interview but they had no idea what they were going to talk to him about..

Happy Birthday Goldie's grandkids.

CAROL; You should record AI. I wonder if TINA'S trainers are feeling too...j/s

Going to see Legally Blond at the theater tomorrow night. I think that should be uplifting and fun.

TINA: Don't get too excited yet--I haven't written the second blog yet.

Just_Lin said...

Dianne There's another Legally Blonde movie?

Just_Lin said...

Bebbi You still inspire me. :)

Dianne/Denver said...

J/L: No, not a movie ...it is a Broadway play now...musical.

Just_Lin said...

Dianne Oh, how fun! My husband and I used to go to plays, musicals, etc., in the City sometimes. I miss that.

It has now been exactly 3 years since he passed away.

SLIN - (((hugs))) from WESconsin!! ♥♥♥

Jodi said...

TINA - Not a huge fan of either one, but I did enjoy both videos. Not sure if either will have the staying power of say Kelly or Carrie. I still have a soft spot for Clay...but that's just me!!

Jodi said...

I hope everyone has a great Thursday. I go back to the Ortho doc today. She's gonna re-x-ray my arm to make sure everything is still in alignment. Thanks to my pt it won't be a problem getting my arm into that 90 degree angle!! And I don't think I'll have to call the tech any special names this time. ;)

Leaving a fresh brewed pot of cawfee, Diet Pepsi, chocolate milk, and since it is the last day of our 3/$1.00 special.....GLAZERS 4 everyone!!!
