Phillip Phillips - Gone, Gone, Gone

I've first heard the song in American Idol Season 12 and this would then be used as the Exit Song. I'm not that big of a fan but I like his songs. Too bad, no finalist this season has the likes of Phillip Phillips, Lee Dewyze and Kris Allen.

Meet and Greet with David Cook at Waterfront Hotel

It's the first Meet and Greet event that I've attended. I'm so thankful to Dayly Entertainment for giving me a chance to meet David Cook personally. 

Dayly Entertainment's tweet that I've won the M&G contest.

Davic Cook Live in Cebu

This is kind of a late post, still I feel the need to post this.

Last July 15, 2012, David Cook had a concert here in Cebu at Waterfront Hotel. It's his second time in Philippines and first in Cebu. I'm not a big fan of David Cook but I like his songs and his voice. There's also a CD signing at SM City Cebu by noon that day. Yes, I bought a copy of This Loud Morning and it was signed by David Cook. I just bought a Balcony ticket worth 700php. I even joined the twitter contest by Dayly Entertainment for the meet and greet pass and fortunately, I won. I was able to shake hands with David Cook. That's my first time with an international artist. Though I was able to meet a1 up close, I never had the chance to have a handshake with them. 

The concert is pretty good. I was able to listen to the songs of This Loud Morning and his self-titled album that's why I'm kinda familiar with the songs he sang in the concert. His voice is so powerful. He's really a good performer, no wonder why he was declared the American Idol for Season 7.

Balcony Ticket. It's all I can afford.

Kris Allen - The Vision of Love (NEW SINGLE)

American Idol Season 8 Winner Kris Allen's new single - Vision of Love. Cool song. Enjoy!




Wake up if you believe
Love is not a fading dream
Tell me I'm not the only one
Who feels this way right now

Lonely needs a friend
Ask him where he's been
You could be the light that comes
And turns his world around

I don't wanna run, I don't wanna hide
When someone needs somebody
I don't wanna say, I don't got the time
When someone needs somebody
With a little faith and a little soul
We can't go wrong
We can't go wrong

When a heart breaks
And the world shakes
Will we stand for the vision of love?
When a tear falls
And the fear crawls
Will we stand for the vision of love?
Will we stand for the vision of love?

Singing
Whoa-oh-oh
Whoa-oh-oh-oh-oh-oh
Whoa-oh-oh
Whoa-oh-oh-oh-oh-oh
Whoa-oh-oh
Whoa-oh-oh-oh-oh-oh

Make-up hides her face
Cause she feels out of place
She cries
Come on someone tell this girl she's beautiful

We don't gotta run, we don't gotta hide
When someone needs somebody
We don't need to say, we don't got the time
When someone needs somebody
With a little faith and a little soul
We can't go wrong
We can't go wrong

When a heart breaks
And the world shakes
Will we stand for the vision of love?
When a tear falls
And the fear crawls
Will we stand for the vision of love?
Will we stand for the vision of love?

Singing
Whoa-oh-oh (C'mon)
Whoa-oh-oh-oh-oh-oh (Let's stand up)
Whoa-oh-oh
Whoa-oh-oh-oh-oh-oh (Let's stand)
Whoa-oh-oh
Whoa-oh-oh-oh-oh-oh
Let's stand for the vision
Stand for the vision of love

Whoa-oh-oh (Wake up)
Whoa-oh-oh-oh-oh-oh
Whoa-oh-oh (Wake up)
Whoa-oh-oh-oh-oh-oh
Whoa-oh-oh (Wake up if you believe)
Whoa-oh-oh-oh-oh-oh

When a heart breaks
And the world shakes
Will we stand for the vision of love?
Will we stand for the vision of love?

No Boundaries

This is the American Idol Season 8 coronation song. This song was cowritten by Kara Dioguardi, on of the judges of the show. This is a nice song and it really fits Kris Allen's style. For me, Kris Allen's version is better that Adam Lambert's.

No Boundaries - Kris Allen

No Boundaries
Kris Allen

Seconds hours so many days
You know what you want but how long can you wait
Every moment last forever if you feel you’ve lost your way
What if your chances are already gone
Started believing that I could be wrong
But you give me one good reason
to fight and never walk away

Coz here I am - still holding on!

Every step you climb another mountain
Every breathe its harder to believe

You’ll make it through the pain (or through all your aches and pains)
Weather the hurricane
To get to that one thing

When you think the road is going nowhere
Just when you’ve almost gave up on your dreams
Then take it by the hand and show you that you can
There are no boundaries x2

I fought to the end to stand on the edge
What if today is as good it gets
Don’t know where the future’s headed
Nothings gonna bring me down

I’ve jumped every bridge and I’ve run every line
I’ve risked being saved but I always knew why
I always knew why

So here I am still holding on
Every step you climb another mountain
Every breathe its harder to believe

You’ll make it through the pain
Weather the hurricane
To get to that one thing

When you think the road is going nowhere
Just when you’ve almost gave up on your dreams
Then take it by the hand and show you that you can

You can go higher
You can go deeper
There are no boundaries
Above and beneath you
Break every rule coz there’s nothing between you
and your dreams

Every step you climb another mountain
Every breathe its harder to believe
Yeah…

There are no boundaries
Every step you climb another mountain
Every breathe its harder to believe
You’ll make it through the pain
Weather the hurricane
There are no boundaries x3

American Idol Season 9 Finale: Kris vs Adam

This was the most unexpected finale in the idol history. Most of the judges expected a Danny vs Adam finale since these two guys are the best singers in the season, and the judges have been consistently putting the spotlight on them. I can still remember the first performance night of the 13 finalists and Paula made a prediction that Adam Lambert and Danny Gokey will make it through the finals. Simon Cowell's been praising Adam Lambert everytime and it's very obvious that they're rooting Adam for the title.

It was really a shocker when Kris Allen was the first one to be announced as the contender for the finale, and sending Danny Gokey home. It's a no brainer that Adam Lambert would be in the finals. In my opinion, Kris is more deserving than Danny Gokey for the finals. But we can't take the fact that Danny is a better singer and he's the only finalist who can outsing Adam Lambert. But Kris Allen is the true artist in this season. He sounds good and his songs are great. Look what Kris made to the song Heartless. That was a very good rendition of the song originally done by Kanye West.

Well, so much for the introduction. And I know it's kinda late to post this, but for my blog's sake, I'm still gonna post what happened in the Finale performance night. :D

Round 1 - Personal Pick

Adam Lambert - Mad World
He received a standing ovation from Simon Cowell when he performed this song on one of the idol performance night. Nice pick.

Kris Allen - Ain't No Sunshine
Great song choice. I personally like his rendition of this song. It seems he won Round 1.

Round 2 - Producer's Pick

Adam Lambert - A Change's Gonna Come
There goes the screaming once again. But Adam Lambert is really a good singer.

Kris Allen - What's Going On
Kris with his guitar. Nice song.

Round 3 - Coronation Song

Adam Lambert - No Boundaries
I think this song is not for him. But he was able to sing it properly.

Kris Allen - No Boundaries
This song really fits his timbre but the song is too high for him. The studio recording was very great though. He is indeed a winner!
