Canadian Idol Fans Watching American Idol

I can't get into JC Chavez's website, I don't know why...

Thanks for the commercial ross, I had no clue what he was talking about.

Nice Rob Thomas interview. Thanks! I have to go out for a while. Probably will be back later...

It might have been one of the 100 songs they have to choose through. I know I am hoping for the Joe King, Mat Kearney and Eg White songs.. but who knows.. Kris might be amazing on one of the others.

Here are the Lyrics from the website.

Lyrics
"Build Some Love"

I.
I've been standing in the shadows
Where everyday feels like night
It's like trying to watch the wind blow
I just need to feel your light
Your heart surrounded by a wall you've built there
And every time you hurt it gets so high

Chorus:
Let's tear it down
And build some love
Build some love
Let's tear it down
And build some love
Build some love

II.
We both have some reservations
A couple fears, a couple doubts
And we both burn with complications
But those just need to be put out
The insecurities can scream like thunder
But I'll hold you close to me, and then somehow

Chorus:
We'll tear it down
And build some love
Build some love
We'll tear it down
And build some love
Build some love

And I know we'll make it to the end of line
Even if we break it one piece at a time
Let's tear it down
And build some love
Build some love...

I'm watching some of MJ's videos from Cook's show last night.

I love this. David letting Andy sing lead on Make Me, which is a MWK song (pre-Idol band). Neal (lead guitar) wrote the song and Andy was the original singer of the song. It'll always be Andy's song for me, it's a bit too low for David. Love that he's sharing the spotlight with his incredibly talented friends:

YouTube - David Cook - Make Me - Lupos Providence

And here's the hilarious Chris Cornell banter that I was talking about last night:

YouTube - David Cook - Chris Cornell Banter - Lupos Providence

David also talks about Awards in that video. The American Music Awards nomination will be announced on Tuesday (by Adam and somebody else I think) and I hope David receives a nomination or two.

By Adam, Snoop Dogg, and Paula Abdul. lol

Thanks for the lyrics, SleepinIn. It's a very bland song, to me. Melody-wise, I mean. Mediocre. jmho.

I've fallen and I can't get up.

I've fallen and I can't get up.

Sending assistance your way, Mr. ross and contacting your family...

Kris Allen - Live Like We’re Dying Lyrics
Sometimes we fall down and can’t get back up
We’re hiding behind skin that’s too tough
How come we don’t say I love you enough
Till it’s to late, it’s not too late
Our hearts are hungry for a food that won’t come
We could make a feast from these crumbs
And we’re all staring down the barrel of a gun
So if your life flashed before you
What would you wish you would’ve done
Yeah… gotta start
Lookin at the hand of the time we’ve been given here
This is all we got and we gotta start pickin it
Every second counts on a clock that’s tickin’
Gotta live like we’re dying
We only got
86 400 seconds in a day to
Turn it all around or throw it all away
We gotta tell ‘em that we love ‘em
While we got the chance to say
Gotta live like we’re dying
And if your plane fell out of the skies
Who would you call with your last goodbyes
Should be so careful who we live out our lives
So when we long for absolution
There’ll no one on the line
Yeah… gotta start
Lookin at the hand of the time we’ve been given here
This is all we got and we gotta start pickin it
Every second counts on a clock that’s tickin’
Gotta live like we’re dying
We only got
86 400 seconds in a day to
Turn it all around or throw it all away
We gotta tell ‘em that we love ‘em
While we got the chance to say
Gotta live like we’re dying
Like we’re dying oh - like we’re dying [x2]
We only got
86 400 seconds in a day to
Turn it all around or throw it all away
We gotta tell ‘em that we love ‘em
While we got the chance to say
Gotta live - like we’re dying
We never know a good thing till it’s gone
You never see a crash until it’s head on
All those people right when we’re dead wrong
You never know a good thing till it’s gone
Yeah… gotta start
Lookin at the hand of the time we’ve been given here
This is all we got and we gotta start livin it
Every second counts on a clock that’s tickin’
Gotta live like we’re dying
We only got
86 400 seconds in a day to
Turn it all around or throw it all away
We gotta tell ‘em that we love ‘em
While we got the chance to say
Gotta live like we’re dying
Like we’re dying oh - like we’re dying [x2]
We only got
86 400 seconds in a day to
Turn it all around or throw it all away
We gotta tell ‘em that we love ‘em
While we got the chance to say
Gotta live like we’re dying
Live like we’re dying

Tee hee.

This is someone's old blog post from August (and if you scroll down, there are a couple more posts). Nothing much, but I enjoyed the positive comments about Kris. Any port in a storm.

Kris Allen « Kameron Aloud

Sometimes we fall down and can’t get back up

Haha! That ad is a good promo for the song.

Just went to the drug store and picked up some vitamins to get me through the next week when these radio stations add LLWD. And I took a look at how the teen mags are featuring Kris. These magazines have to work with all the old photos from the AI season and try to make something fresh out of them. So there's a two page spread from the Dodgers game with the Top 7 (I guess) and the whole thing is about friendships. Kris is featured the most prominently, but there's also a little bit more of Adam than I noticed before. In another magazine (Quizfest) there was a reader's poll, and the nominees for Favorite Male Singer were Archie, Flo Rida, Jason Mraz, Jesse McCartney, and Adam. The winner was Archie. But where was Kris?!

In the same mag, Adam was front and center in a spread asking, Favorite Halloween Candy? Adam: Reese's Pieces. (I have to go with him on that one. Yum.) The same mag did have a full page poster of Kris, though.
Well, Adam did win the Teen Choice Award. Some of the teens may have been 59 years old, but, hey, it's a state of mind, after all.

You want to know how great the Cook fans I met this weekend are? Read this recap:

What I did this weekend. | DavidCookOfficial.com

She's the woman who generously offered us a place to stay the night. And she has a gift for the funny.

And this made me a bit teary-eyed:

So, they left, and we left, and found our way through the gloomy, misty fog, along the unlit streets of northern East Assonowear, past eight four-way stop signs, to the House of thecats. And somehow we ended up opening a bottle of wine and sitting around the dining room table, four Cook fans, until 2 AM. And it was good. We talked about David Cook. And his bandmates. And music, and children, and education, and careers, and where we live, and who we are, and, you know what’s crazy? Four women from four different states (three states and a province, technically), talking about David Cook and everything associated with him, and not a single bit of it felt weird. As if it were a perfectly normal thing to have in common. And: it is. Because, this is what I keep trying to tell everyone: It isn’t really about David Cook. It’s about you and me, laughing at the same stupid sh*t. It’s about assuming that people’s intentions are good. It’s about watching some kids live their dreams, and feeling great about it, because, why shouldn’t they? Also, apparently, it’s about watching “Glee,” which I have yet to do, but it’s my next project, I promise.

Aw, that's so nice missaddicted. She's a great writer.

And that's very true -- fan things become more of this. While enjoying the music you all share in common. Tis good.

Well, Adam did win the Teen Choice Award. Some of the teens may have been 59 years old, but, hey, it's a state of mind, after all. :icon_smile:

LOL -- so true..

and if you're out there.. VIRGIN Radio Montreal is about to play KRIS ALLEN!! SQUEE.

Player | Virgin Radio 96 Montreal

Kris needs to verify his twitter account. Then maybe those imposters wouldn't have thousands of followers.

Adam is doing his part to help out Kris and Allison, I see.

 

[SleepinIn]

They're playing it now!! The DJ said he loves the song -- eeeee

eta:

Kris needs to verify his twitter account.

How do they do that? I've never understood the process.

 

[missaddicted]

It is playing!!!!! Yeah!

 

[missaddicted]

Thanks for the heads up, SleepinIn. Almost didn't catch it, I was coming back to my computer after watching Mika being interviewed on TV (I'm going to see his show on Tuesday).

Too bad I don't listen to that radio station (and no, I won't start because they're playing Kris, I can listen to the song anytime I want on my iPod). I can't stand half of the music their playing (top 40 crap), their ads drive me crazy and I'm pretty loyal to the French radio station I listen to... which won't play LLWD for sure, they never play music from the Idols, except one Hedley song.

 

[ross 1]

What? I missed it? I had the link up, but I didn't know they were going to play it so soon! Grrr.

How do they verify an account? I don't know, I suppose it's something celebs know what to do. lol. No, I just clicked on the little checkmark on Adam's account and this came up:

Twitter

missaddicted, I just read that whole recap. Thanks, I enjoyed it. I was trying to picture you sitting around the kitchen table. Must have been fun.

 

[SleepinIn]

MIKA!! He's awesome.

I was watching Billy Talent on Much. But I saw someone twitter about Virgin Montreal, lol. And since I haven't heard Kris on Canadian radio.. I was in.

Hey, now they're playing Fireflies. Totally reminds me of Lights. They need to do a duet.

 

[missaddicted]

How do they verify an account? I don't know, I suppose it's something celebs know what to do.

Maybe they have to ask for it? I don't know... So Kris has a lot of imposters?

I turned off the radio the moment the song was done LOL. The song that came on after Kris sounded awful.

MIKA!! He's awesome.

I know, right? I'm not one who likes the glitter, over the top aspect of performing, but that boy is brilliant. His songs are more profound than they let on at first listen. And his music is totally danceable, but it's not that dance autotuned crap (sorry!) that is everywhere right now. It'll my third time seeing him live on Tuesday. And I'm in the fourth row! Yay!

 

[missaddicted]

missaddicted, I just read that whole recap. Thanks, I enjoyed it. I was trying to picture you sitting around the kitchen table. Must have been fun.

It was, definitely. Great experience, I would do it again anytime!

 

[SleepinIn]

It's funny but a few songs before Kris they played the Script's Breakeven. I actually do know this song, I just didn't know it was the Script - I think I thought it was called falling to pieces or barely breathing or something. lol

His songs are more profound than they let on at first listen. And his music is totally danceable, but it's not that dance autotuned crap (sorry!) that is everywhere right now. It'll my third time seeing him live on Tuesday. And I'm in the fourth row! Yay!

Yeah, he's quite good. I like dance music, but it's also nice if the people can actually sing in real life without the autotune thing happening. Plus I don't need autotune effects in EVERY SINGLE SONG EVERYWHERE, lol.
