Adam Lambert

Adam Lambert made it to the 2nd in Season 8.
When he came to the try out, everyone was so impressed how he could sing!
He easily made it to the Final; however, he could not win at the finale competing with Kris Allen.
Still he made a huge reputation among Americans.

His latest song "Time For Miracles" was chosen for the movie "2012".
He also released his latest album called "For Your Entertainment"
The album consists 14 songs including "Time For Miracles".
I personally recommend his album because it has a lot of songs that represent himself.
It has rock songs to ballad songs. I hope he can make his concert here in Japan!

katherine Mcphee

She is an American pop, R&B singer, and she was in the season 5. She made it to the Finale competed with Tylor Hicks, but she could not be the American Idol. However she releases a lot of good songs, and as she is such a beautiful woman, She is also an actress, and model.

One of my favorite song from her is "Over it". It is her first single after the American Idol, and it went Gold in 2008.This song is about a person who is trying to forget about the lover ,and its a little bit sad song, but the music is very good, and I think she has a great voice!

Daughtry

He was in the season 5, and made it to Top5! After the American IDol, Chris Daughtry decided to make a band(Daughtry). The band is Rock, and from North California. Their debut albumn was released in the year of 2006, and it is the fastest selling debut album in Soundscan history!

One of my favorite song from Daughtry is called "OVER YOU". This song is in their debut album.

My favorite phrase of this song is the part where he sings
" I never saw it coming.I should've started runningA long, long time ago.And I never thought I'd doubt you,I'm better off without youMore than you, more than you know.I'm slowly getting closure.I guess it's really over.I'm finally getting better.And now I'm picking up the pieces.I'm spending all of these yearsPutting my heart back together.'Cause the day I thought I'd never get through,I got over you."

kris or Adam?

This year season 8 had finished broadcasting in the U.S. The America decide their American Idol.

The final of season 8, there were Kris and Adam. They are both very great singers obviously, and they are completely different kinds of singers which made it funner for this season. Adam is a really ROCK singer, and on the contrast Kris is more POP kind of singer. At the final, they sang 3 songs. First song was their favorite song from the past performances, the next song was the song made just for them called "No Boundaries", and the last song was the judges picked up for them.

I think they both did an awesome job. I personally voted for Adam, because i had never seen such a perfect contestant in past seasons. So,who will be the next American Idol?

The result came. The America voted for KRIS!! He became the new American Idol.

I am sure that even though Adam could not be the Idol, he will be very popular. The reason why is because everybody knows that he is one awesome singer! This season was recognized as the hardest season ever, because there were so many great contestants! I actually loved all of them, and hope they will release a CD in the future!
