Disco night on Idol

I totally enjoyed the songs by Kris Allen and Adam Lambert on American Idol tonight. They both managed to take up-tempo songs and turned them into sentimental slow songs. Below videos show the originals and the ones that were performed on AI.

Only Adam's performance is available on youtube.com showing that his performance is more popular than Kris's.

"If I can't have you" performed by Adam Lambert (2009)

"If I can't have you" performed by Yvonne Elliman (1978)

"She works hard for the money" by Kris Allen on AI

"She works hard for the money" by Donna Summer

I was looking back at my blog posting from last year and realised that I have booked my December 2008 holiday as early as in the month of June 2008. So, it suddenly hit me that we are coming to the middle of the year soon and these are my travel plans for 2009.
