Jesse McCartney - How Do You Sleep Feat. Ludacris video
OMG!!I love this video. Great job for whoever directing it. And it's one of the best song in his latest album that I'm not a fan of.

American Idol Season 8 Top 10 iTunes Review
- Adam Lambert (I think Adam did a pretty good job in this recording,he can combine his beautiful voice with the background music although sometimes the background is so loud. It will be so much better if they can tone down a bit the instrument)
- Allison Iraheta (this recording sound reminds me of circa Miami Vice/Charlie Angels's tv series. Allison is so ready to record her voice,she has a constant great recording since Michael Jackson's week. I definitely can see her record like a Pink album)
- Anoop Desai (oh my....I love Anoop's tender and soft vocal but the background singer is killing me. It's like throwing me to ancient times and buried me in a tomb. This recording is so excruciatingly slow and haunting (in a scary way))
- Danny Gokey (woah Danny's voice in this one sound too stretch,I'm not feeling it at all although overall it's good recording)
- Kris Allen (once again the background music overwhelms Kris's voice. It doesn't showcase the fullness of his great voice at all,but I love his unique phrasing in some parts. And it's still one of the best in this week recording)
- Matt Giraud (no one can deny that Matt has soul in his voice,it's evident in every recording he did. Although the arrangement in this recording somewhat boring to me and OMG!! it's too long)
- Megan Joy Corkrey (I love Megan's recording. It's so quirky and unique and jazzy. It's definitely not boring,not too gloomy and everything is so perfect)
- Michael Sarver (Michael really has a nice great voice and if he uses it well,I think he'll do a great job in his career. His recording this week however is good,with bordering on mediocre. It's not bad and it's not great. Maybe it's the song choice that he can't do anything with)
- Scott MacIntyre (I agree that Scott's voice and sound is geared toward AC audiences,and the recording is always like that. Woah,the background singer mess everything in this recording. I'd fired them immediately if I had any say in the recording process)
- Lil Rounds (she has great vocal in this recording,I'll give that to her. Although I don't like the music)
I agree with everybody that they should let the recording resemble the contestant's live performance and not too mix it with the original Motown sound,etc. This week's recording is a crapfest!!! I hate it!! I hope next week's recording is a masterclass.

American Idol Season 8 Top 10 Result Show
The group performance was very good but it's blatantly lip-sync and why they taped it without audience??WTH!!
I love Ruben's new song. It's so catchy but woah,he's sweating like a bullet there.
WTF!! Matt Giraud is in bottom 3!!!It's so ridiculous.
Michael Sarver is in bottom 3 too. Yeah!! Huff,Kris Allen is safe,they are always playing with him.
Smokey Robinson perform with Joss Stone. I love that Smokey still has a strong and nice sultry voice,not like many mentors whose voice already cracked and can't sustain their singing anymore.
Megan's safe,so Simon's death sentence isn't working anymore.
Scott MacIntyre is in bottom 3,after that he's immediately sent back to the safe zone. Crap!!
I'll become so upset if Matt is going home.
Stevie Wonder medley's performance was superb!!
Michael is going home. God is exist after all!!
Next week I heard some rumor that it's probably iTunes Top 100 Week. That'd be a lot of interesting and trainwreck coming your way.

American Idol Season 8 Top 10 Performances (Motown Week)
- Matt Giraud (pretty good performance although I expected him to sing different song than this. I'm already bored with "Let's Get It On". It's been done to death on Idol)
- Kris Allen (hmm it's good. Kris sang this song to the max but once again I'm not diggin' it as I should've,maybe because of the song choice. But Kris's definitely cemented himself as the songwriter singer type in this competition)
- Scott MacIntyre (finally they threw him under the bus,complete with bomb set up so that it'll explode. I like the tempo changing in the song but overall Scott is singing the same kind of song week after weeks)
==WTF with the song tonight!!!I feel bored!!
- Megan Joy Corkrey (it's not a trainwreck at all for me. At least it's very jazzy and entertaining. A breath of fresh air really this far. Although I noticed many pitchy notes and the bandzilla overwhelmed her on the stage)
- Anoop Desai (boring. Tonight's song choice is really killing me. At best I would rate all contestants this far 70. It's so boring. I can't wait for this show to end. Btw,oh no!!! They suggested Anoop to tune it up next week,I hope he'll pick a really great song and not just go "Beat It" or "My Prerogative" like few weeks ago that destroyed his chance)
- Michael Sarver (tonight's a massacre field for mediocre contestants. The bus are lining up ready to grind them one by one. Michael's performance is nice,as nice as watching an Office Idol on your company. Everybody's karaoke-ing to the heaven but still it's karaoke at best,not a fantastic performance)
- Lil Rounds (lil bit amazing in some parts,heartfelt but not a showstopper)
- Adam Lambert (fantastic performance!!!Adam's worthy of my support. I'm honored that he delivers great and different performances every week. That's what defined American Idol. Btw is it his ex boyfriend on the audience??)
- Danny Gokey (good vocal but still karaoke,Danny is getting crushed by Adam lately. The judge's grand plan for the finale between those two isn't working at all for me. Danny is like a peasant versus Adam as a God)
- Allison Iraheta (spectacular performance!!Flawless and full of energy. Allison's been stepping it up week after week. Great job!!)
My Ranking:
1. Adam Lambert
2. Allison Iraheta
(huge gap)
