THE TROUBLE WITH GIRLS
by Scotty McCreery
The trouble with girls is their a mystery
Something about 'em puzzle's me
Spend my whole life tryna figure out just what dem' girls are all about
The trouble with girls is there so dang pretty
Everything about 'em does something to me
Well I guess that's the way it's supposed to be
Chorus:
They smile that smile
They bat those eyes
They steal you with hello
They kill you with goodbye
They hook you with one touch, and you cant break free
Yea the trouble with girls is nobody loves trouble as much as me
Their sugar and spice and angel wings
Their hell on wheels and tight blue jeans
A summer night down by the lake,an old memory that you can't change
Their hard to find yea there's so many of 'em
The way you hate that you already love 'em

But I guess that's the way its supposed to be
They smile that smile
They bat those eyes
They steal you with hello
They kill you with goodbye
They hook you with one touch and you can't break free
Yea the trouble with girls is nobody loves trouble as much as me
The way they hold you out on the dancefloor
The way they ride in the middle of your truck
The way they give you a kiss at the front door
Leave you wishing you could have gone up
And just as you walk away you hear that sweet voice say "Stay"
They smile that smile
They bat those eyes
They steal you with hello
They kill you with goodbye
Their the perfect drug and I can't break free
Yea the trouble with girls is nobody loves trouble as much as me

FARMER'S DAUGHTER
by Crystal Bowersox

Half way to crazy
Not far from sane
Oh, sick and tired for all of your games
And all I ever wanted was you to take care of me
Honor thy mother, oh and father too
But I know there ain't no way in hell that God mentioned you
And all I ever wanted was you to be there for me
Oooooo, and all I ever never needed was you to be here for me

This time is the last time you're gonna see us, around
Oh this was your last chance to prove you wouldn't let me down
So go on get gone and get away from here A...lone
Oh alone is how your gonna spend the rest of your years
Cause Im no Farmer daughters anymore, Mommy dear

I remember back in high school
My brothers and me, Willy put his head through the door to find clarity
And you'd come home with Burban breath
Jack in the air
And when you broke my bones I told the school I fell down the stairs
All I ever wanted was you to be there for me
And all I ever needed was you to be here for me

This time is the last time you're gonna see us, around
Oh this was your last chance to prove you wouldn't let me down
So go on get gone and get away from here A...lone
Oh alone is how your gonna spend the rest of your years
Cause Im no Farmer daughters anymore,
I aint no farmers daughter any more
No farmers daughter anymore, mommy dear..... Mommy dear

NO AIR
by Jordin Sparks feat Chris Brown

JORDIN
If I should die before I wake
It's cause you took my breath away
Losing you is like livin in a world with no air

CHRIS
I'm here alone didn't wanna leave
My heart won't move it's incomplete
Wish there was a way that I could make you understand

HOOK
But how do you expect me
To live alone with just me
Cause my world revolves around you it's so hard for me to breathe

CHORUS
Tell me how I'm supposed to breathe with no air
Can't live can't breathe with no air
It's how I feel whenever you aint there
Theres no air no air

Got me out here in the water so deep
Tell me how you gone breathe without me
If you aint here I just can't breathe
Theres no air no air
No air air x4

CHRIS
I walked I ran I jumped I flew
Right off the ground to float to you
Theres no gravity to hold me down for real

JORDIN
But somehow I'm still alive inside
You took my breath but I survived
I don't know how but I don't even care

HOOK
But how do you expect me
To live alone with just me
Cause my world revolves around you it's so hard for me to breathe

CHORUS
Tell me how I'm supposed to breathe with no air
Can't live can't breathe with no air
It's how I feel whenever you aint there
Theres no air no air

Got me out here in the water so deep
Tell me how you gone breathe without me
If you aint here I just can't breathe
Theres no air no air
No air air x4

An almost AI breakdown for Jennifer




AI judge Jennifer Lopez almost had an almost breakdown during the judging of the hopefuls.

Jennifer has been outvoted always by the other two judges, Steven Tyler and Randy Jackson when there was a major disagreement in the judging panel.

Steven and Randy keep on turning down contestants she thought are worthy to be in the elimination rounds in Hollywood.

Cheyenne James, an auditoner, whom Jennifer thought had a nice singing voice, was turned down by Steven, she said 'you're joking right?'

But Randy also said no to Cheyenne and Jennifer exclaimed 'you guys are crazy!'

Her breaking point came when the two judges gave Linda Williams, a girl with an average voice, the golden ticket to Hollywood, then Steven said that she can sing, Jennifer responded in disbelief that she feels like she is in the Twilight Zone.

Well Jennifer, you must have forgotten the Jennifer Hudson story. Hudson could have been the champion but was eliminated and America was shocked. With a voice like Hudson, how could America made the wrong judgement?

First first runner-up Justin Guarini


The very first first runner-up of American Idol is the curly haired Justin Guarini.

Justin is a native of Columbus, Georgia. His musical experience started when he joined Atlanta Boy Choir. Throughout his school years in Georgia, Justin was a member of the choir and theater. After being chosen in AI, he was offered a role in the Broadway production of 'The Lion King'. But Justin politely declined the offer and he continued his AI experience.

AI judge Simon Cowell once said to Justin "you know, it's a privileged when you do a competition like this and hear somebody undiscovered who has a voice like yours." After the grand finals night, Justin is the only AI contestant to appear on 'The Oprah Show'. Justin was praised by many broadsheets describing him as a 'revelation', 'easily the best performer'.

Justin never made his album during the height of his AI days. He released his self-titled album in 2003 the same time second season AI winner Ruben Studdard released his debut album. Justin's album didn't sell well not like of Kelly Clarkson's albums. He was ultimately dropped by his record label RCA but continued doing music under his own company, Justice Entertainment.

He made a movie with Kelly, 'From Justin to Kelly'. It was a so-so success. Justin declined once more, a much coveted role in the Broadway run of 'Good Vibrations' instead, he continued doing independent films and appearing in many television shows.

Finally, Justin made his Broadway debut in 2010 when he was cast as Carlos in the Broadway adaptation of 'Women on the Verge of a Nervous Breakdown'. His next Broadway act was playing a part in 'American Idiot' from March, 2011 through its closing in April, 2011.

Today, Justin is still active in independent films and recordings. He is now married to his long time fiancee Reina Capodici and they have a son, William Neko Bell Guarini born on April, 2011. He is also active building houses for Habitat for Humanities, and a music education advocate.

Denver audition recap

Thirty one golden tickets given to Hollywood for AI hopefuls.

The auditioners where up and ready as early as 2 in the morning. manay made video diary for their trip to the AI audition center.

Jenni Schick started the day right. And when she got her golden ticket, she also got what she came for...a kiss from AI judge Steven Tyler.

Curtis Gray of Florida got the AI look and could be the next singing sensation. With his big built and beard, you will never thought he has a singing voice to make him the next idol. He was up by 6 am and still in high spirits till 11 am.

Next is Richie Law. The native of Colorado got the Scotty McCreery voice. The judges never expected that behind his boyish look, he has that big, crooning voice ala Scotty.

Then came Tealana Hedgesorth. A bubbly girl wearing a bright yellow outfit for her auditions. There have been a little rivalry with her twin sister who excels in singing and is a part o a theater group. By auditioning to AI, she will be out of her sister's shadow and be the person different from her twin. But sad to say, she was unanimously voted out of the contest.

Log cabin girl Haley Smith from Utah sang 'Tell me something good' by Chaka Khan with a different twist. Steven liked so much her version and honored to hear sing the way his era sound. Randy Jackson said she is a real flower girl.

Then it was Shelby Tweten's turn to audition. At first glance, you will thought that Shelby is like an ordinary girl. But the native of Minnesota is suffering from bipolar syndrome since the 4th grade. Her mother is very supportive and always by her side to guide her and her number one fan. Shelby wants to spread to everyone that being bipolar doesn't defy who you are. When it's time for her to let the world hear her sing, AI judge Jennifer Lopez was so awed with what she heard. She sounded beautiful just like her looks, just like who she is.

Jairon Jackson auditioned with his own composition. Eventhough the judges never heard of it, they liked it and his voice is so smooth. Jennifer said that he is a lover that's why his song really came from the heart.

Angie Zeiderman of Florida can be counted as one of the weird auditioners. Her friends called her Lady Gaga for the way she dresses, her moves, her being spunky. Randy stopped her and was to give her a no when she sang a musical song. But when she changes it to Linda Rondstadt classic 'Blue Bayou', Randy changed his mind and got a yes from the three judges.

The auditioned ended with the master of air guitar Magic Cyclops. He claimed that he owned 11,000 air guitars coz he said, the air in Colorado makes him crazy. Originally from Iowa as he said, he sang a Neil Diamond song but then, the judges just walked out of him but had a good time

Three more cities to go and it's the start to the road to the American Idol showdown.

KELLY CLARKSON Stronger (What doesn't Kill You)

STRONGER (What Doesn't Kill You)
by Kelly Clarkson

You know the bed feels warmer
Sleeping here alone
You know I dream in colour
And do the things I want

You think you've got the best of me
Think you've had the last laugh
Bet you think that everything good is gone
Think you left me broken down
Think that I'll come running back
Baby, you don't know me
'Cause you're dead wrong

What doesn't kill you makes you stronger
Stand a little taller
Doesn't mean I'm lonely when I'm alone
What doesn't kill you makes a fighter
Footsteps even lighter
Doesn't mean I'm over 'cause you're gone
What doesn't kill you makes you stronger, stronger
Just me myself and I
What doesn't kill you makes you stronger
Stand a little taller
Doesn't mean I'm lonely when I'm alone

You heard that I was starting over with someone new
They told you I was moving on, over you

You didn't think that I'd come back
I've come back swinging
You tried to break me
But you see

What doesn't kill you makes you stronger
Stand a little taller
Doesn't mean I'm lonely when I'm alone
What doesn't kill you makes a fighter
Footsteps even lighter
Doesn't mean I'm over 'cause you're gone
What doesn't kill you makes you stronger, stronger
Just me myself and I
What doesn't kill you makes you stronger
Stand a little taller
Doesn't mean I'm lonely when I'm alone

Thanks to you I've got a new thing started
Thanks to you I'm not the broken hearted
Thanks to you I'm finally thinking about me
You know in the end,
the day you left was just my beginning
In the end

What doesn't kill you makes you stronger
Stand a little taller
Doesn't mean I'm lonely when I'm alone
What doesn't kill you makes a fighter
Footsteps even lighter
Doesn't mean I'm over 'cause you're gone
What doesn't kill you makes you stronger, stronger
Just me myself and I
What doesn't kill you makes you stronger
Stand a little taller
Doesn't mean I'm lonely when I'm alone
What doesn't kill you makes you stronger, stronger
Just me myself and I
What doesn't kill you makes you stronger
Stand a little taller
Doesn't mean I'm lonely when I'm alone
I'm not alone

LET'S JUST FALL IN LOVE AGAIN

Let's pretend baby
That you've just met me
And I've never seen you before

I'll tell all my friends
That I think your starin
And you say the same to yours

And oh we'll dance around it all night
And then I'll follow you outside
Try to open up my mouth
And hope it comes out right

And I wanna fall in love with you again
I don't have to try
It's so easy who needs to pretend
But because it's so funny
Let's just think about it honey
Let's just fall in love again

I'll call you in 3 days
Not to soon not to late
I'll ask your roomate if your home

You call me on thursday
And we'll hang out all day
And fall asleep on the phone

And no I'll hold your and while we drive
And we'll loose track of all the time
And we'll tell everyone we ain't never felt so alive

And I wanna fall in love with u again
I don't have to try
It's so easy who needs to pretend
But because it's so funny
Let's just think about it honey
Let's just fall in love again

Fall disgustingly fast
And we'll stop hanging out with friends
And they'll be so offended (oh~uuu)

Oh and I wanna fall in love with you again
I don't have to try
It's so easy who needs to pretend
But because it's so funny
Let's just think about it honey
Let's just fall in love again
Let's just fall in love again
So let's just fall in love again

The funny Kellie Pickler


Kellie Pickler is one of the more luckier American Idol alum that gained fame even without taking home the grand prize.

Kellie, who finished sixth in the fifth season of AI, is a native Albemarie, North Carolina. In 2010, she was ranked as seventh in the best American Idol alum.

Kelly, then 19, auditioned for American Idol in North Carolina where she sang Kelly Clarkson's 'Since U been gone' and Marina Mcbride's 'Broken Wing.' Simon Cowell said that she's over singing the songs but really liked her singing voice and when she entered the semi-finals, Pickler became Simon's favorite even predicting that she will be one of the top 3 even preferring Kellie over AI grand champ in season 4 Carrie Underwood.

But Kellie really gained the viewers attention because of her quirky way and mispronouncing words just like Jessica Simpson.

Her post AI stint gave her fame many of her co-alum never got the chance. Kellie is a certified platinum artist. to date, her debut album 'Small Town' has sold over 800,000 copies. Her album produced three singles that hit the Billboard Hot 100.

Kellie is not only a busy recording artist but is also busy in her philanthropy works. She supports the St. Jude's Research Hospital to raise funds for children with special needs.

Kellie is now married to her long time beau Kyle Jacobs.


Another AI alum with a recording deal


Siobhan Magnus from season 9 of American Idol just released her first album online.

'Moonbaby' the title of the album, was independently written, recorded and released by Siobhan. The album is an all original 10 tracks recording.

Her AI experience brought her national attention and appearances in local TV and live shows. Since high school, Siobhan never stopped writing songs. And some of this were used in her album.

The first song in her album 'Beatrice Dream' was released via iTunes last May 2011.

'Moonbaby' is an album of deeply honest and personal songs.

Casey James new album


American Idol Season 9 Casey James will be releasing his self-title album on March 20. Casey was the third runner up in season 9.

Casey is very thankful to American Idol for the opportunities the show gave him because he had been singing in bars in North Texas but not many knew his name.

It's and eleven track album played both electric and acoustic guitars all throughout the recording.

Casey is excited with his new album. His song 'Let's don't call it a night' is slowly climbing the country charts.

Good luck Casey.

CHRIS MEDINA What are Words Music


'What are words' is from American Idol Season 10 semi-finalist Chris Medina's debut album with the same title.



















WHAT ARE WORDS
by Chris Medina

Anywhere you are, I am near
Anywhere you go, I'll be there
Anytime you whisper my name, you'll see
How every single promise I'll keep
'cause what kind of guy would I be
If I was to leave when you need me most

What are words
If you really don't mean them
When you say them
What are words
If they're only for good times
Then they're torn
When it's love
Yeah, you say them out loud
Those words, they never go away
They live on, even when we're gone

And I know an angel was saved
Just for me and I know I'm meant
To be where I am and I'm gonna be
Standing right beside her tonight
And I'm gonna be by her side
I would never leave when she needs me most

What are words
If you really don't mean them
When you say them
What are words
If they're only for good times
Then they're torn
When it's love
Yeah, you say them out loud
Those words, they never go away
They live on, even when we're gone

Anywhere you are, I am near
Anywhere you go, I'll be there
And I'm gonna be here forever more
Every single promise I'll keep
'cause what kind of guy would I be
If I was to leave when you need me most

I'm forever keeping my angel close


KATHARINE MCPHEE Over It


American Idol Season 5 runner-up Katharine McPhee also find her way in the silver screen co-starring in the 2008 'The House Bunny.'



















OVER IT
by Katharine McPhee

I'm over your lies
And I'm over your games
I'm over you asking me
When you know I'm not okay

You call me at night
And I pick up the phone
And though you be telling me
I know you're not alone

Oh, and that's why
(Your eyes)
I'm over it
(Your smile)
I'm over it
(Realize)
I'm over it
I'm over it
I'm over...

Wanting you to be wanting me.
No that ain't no way to be
How I feel, read my lips
Because I'm so over (I'm so)

Moving on, it's my time
You never were a friend of mine
Hurt at first, a little bit
But now I'm so over
I'm so over it

I'm over your hands
And I'm over your mouth
Trying to drag me down
And fill me with self-doubt

Oh, and that's why
(Your words)
I'm over it
(So sure)
I'm over it
(I'm not your girl)
I'm over it
I'm over it
I'm over...

Wanting you to be wanting me
No that ain't no way to be
How I feel, read my lips
Because I'm so over (I'm so)

Moving on, it's my time
You never were a friend of mine
Hurt at first, a little bit
But now I'm so over
I'm so over it

So over it
Ohh

Don't call, don't come by
Ain't no use, don't ask me why
You'll never change
There'll be no more crying in the rain

Wanting you to be wanting me.
No that ain't no way to be
How I feel, read my lips
Because I'm so over (I'm so)

Moving on, it's my time
You never were a friend of mine
Hurt at first, a little bit
But now I'm so over
I'm so over it

I'm so over it
I'm over it
Wohh yeah

Wanting you to be wanting me
No that ain't no way to be
How I feel, read my lips
Because I'm so over (I'm so)

Moving on, it's my time
You never were a friend of mine
Hurt at first, a little bit
But now I'm so over
I'm so over it

DAUGHTRY Over You


'Over You' is from Chris Daughtry's band Daughtry's debut album Daughty.

It's a break up song and the difficulties of getting over with someone.
















OVER YOU
by Daughtry

Now that it's all said and done,
I can't believe you were the one
To build me up and tear me down,
Like an old abandoned house.
What you said when you left
Just left me cold and out of breath.
I fell too far, was in way too deep.
Guess I let you get the best of me.

Well, I never saw it coming.
I should've started running
A long, long time ago.
And I never thought I'd doubt you,
I'm better off without you
More 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 years
Putting my heart back together.
'Cause the day I thought I'd never get through,
I got over you.

You took a hammer to these walls,
Dragged the memories down the hall,
Packed your bags and walked away.
There was nothing I could say.
And when you slammed the front door shut,
A lot of others opened up,
So did my eyes so I could see
That you never were the best for me.

Well, I never saw it coming.
I should've started running
A long, long time ago.
And I never thought I'd doubt you,
I'm better off without you
More 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 years
Putting my heart back together.
'Cause the day I thought I'd never get through,
I got over you.

Well, I never saw it coming.*
I should've started running
A long, long time ago.
And I never thought I'd doubt you,
I'm better off without you
More than you, more than you know.

Well, I never saw it coming.
I should've started running
A long, long time ago.
And I never thought I'd doubt you,
I'm better off without you
More 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 years
Putting my heart back together.
Well I'm putting my heart back together,
'Cause I got over you.
Well I got over you.
I got over you.
'Cause the day I thought I'd never get through,
I got over you
