American Idol
Every year I've got to make an obligatory American Idol post. I like both Kris Allen and Adam Lambert (and I liked Danny Gokey as well). The truth is that I don't really care who wins. What I have found amazing though is how well Adam, Kris and Danny have done every single week. Alison and I look forward to watching because we never know what to expect (especially from Adam). Here are a few songs from both of them (my favorite performance of the season is the first one in queue by Kris (Falling Slowly), followed closely by Adam's performances of Ring of Fire, Mad World and One):

Meh...I really dislike the "Ring of Fire" version here. I like the original better.
I agree with you on that song as well as a couple of others. I actually snagged the originals from the TV broadcast, but I was too lazy to upload them myself - but the live versions are often more enjoyable than the studio ones.
I am talking about the original Johnny Cash version. I don't watch American Idol, but that's funny you thought that is what I meant ;).
Gotcha. I did download the Johnny Cash version a few months ago - because I quite like it as well. Have a good time in the Motherland.
There's also the Social Distortion cover of Ring of Fire, which I think is also better. It seems this Adam Lambert character desperately wants to be Jeff Buckley.
