Headed to "Sing Off"

I was looking through my Goldstar weekly updates (awesome discount site-check it out & sign up for free) to see what good deals I could find on some fun things to do. I came across free tickets for the season 2 premiere tomorrow night of "Sing Off," an accapella singing competition.

I'm the spur of the moment queen & always spring different ideas on my hubby, who is the planning king. Most of my things don't go over well & I have to try to manipulate him into doing what I want, so imagine my surprise when he said yes right away.

So tomorrow after we get off work we will head down to LA for the season premiere starring, host Nick Lachey, and judges Nicole Sherzinger, Ben Folds and Shawn Stockman (Boys II Men).

Check out last years winners-"Nota" singing Jay Sean's song, "Down." Can you imagine-NO INSTRUMENTS...wow! I think it'll be fun...

I hope the talents this good tomorrow night!

American Idol-Who Goes Home 5-13-09

Let me start by saying that I am not one of those ladies who cries easily. However, tonight after listening to Danny Gokey sing, "You Are So Beautiful," by Joe Cocker. It was very weird but I started tearing up. I just kept picturing him singing to his wife who passed away. His voice was amazing, so full of emotion and passion.

Kris Allen did great on his second song, "Heartless," by Kayne West. It was a completely original version of the song. I enjoyed it and agreed with the judges that it put him back in the competition. His first song however was very karaoke (yikes...I sound like the judges!)

Adam Lambert sang, "One" by U2. We all know Adam can sing...but I didn't like this version very much...he seemed to be screaming too much and at one point even stuck out his tongue. I wish he had kept it slow throughout the song. I did enjoy his second song, "Crying," by Aerosmith. I'm sure Steven Tyler would have been proud of Adam's performance...maybe they'll do a duet!

So who goes home? This is a very tough decision for me tonight because they all had great second performances...but I think Kris Allen should go home. I know Kris has a huge fan base, but if it is a SINGING competition, Danny and Adam have stronger voices.

Let me know how you feel?
