i guess you know by now that i 'm a fan of singing competitions particularly american idol. so let me share a few recent acts that are now sending tongues a-wagging and youtube a-buzzing.

adam lambert at ai8
the recent spate of bad weather took my mbc4 out and i wasn't able to watch the telecast last weekend. and darn, that's when this cover of my favorite tears for fears song was done by adam lambert! many predict that he's the one to beat in this season of ai. well if only for this glorious version of mad world, i'd definitely agree.

susan boyle at britain's got talent
now look at that face and tell me - honestly - if you can see a singing star. if you said no, then you're just as prejudiced as the audience and the judges of britain's got talent. i was too. i was guilty as hell judging her solely for her looks. but boy, oh boy, when she sings, it's an entirely different story.
.
this susan boyle was a complete surprise right from the first line of this beautiful song from les miserables. and from then on, it's wild admiration from the audience until the last bar of the song. the judges were completely surprised. the audience obviously delighted. heck, i was moved! what in the world was this lady doing for the last 47 years? she should've hit the spotlight a loooonggggg time ago!
.
anyways, all i can come up with is the screenshot above and the link to her clip below. actually, i'm pissed coz all susan boyle's clips in youtube are embedding disabled! whoever posted them is soooo not cool. here's a link anyway... http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Ow-1Xl5Ttu0
