Post for my Mon

American Idol Post for Mom

My mom and I both love American Idol I believe that both of us started watching in the 2nd season and just love cheering for our favorites. My mom was saying the other day that she wished there were a DVD of the winners of AI that showed their auditions and recent music so this is my attempt at that. This one if for you Mon. I am sorry for some issues (mostly spacing) with this (hope you can forgive me) I started this post like 11 days ago and have had such bad luck with it. I have had my computer freeze multiple times. :( But here it is.... Enjoy. Leave comments!

Season 1 Winner was: Kelly Clarkson

Here is Kelly Clarkson Audition

Kelly Clarkson - with Reba McEntire - Because of you



Pretty incredible that she is singing with her 'idol' Reba. They sound so great together!
Love it!

Next up --> Season 2 --> winner was Ruben Studdard who is equally incredible. I love his voice. I have not listed to his music since the show but did really like him, although I loved Clay Aiken, until I found out his is not into women. ;)

Here is Ruben's Audition.

Here is Ruben singing (still during the show, sorry alot of his other videos that I like are messed up - I love him singing Amazing Grace...find it) Here he is singing A Whole new world. very nice.


Next up --> Season 3 winner was Fantasia Barrino who has such an amazing voice! (I will probably say that again but really she is great! Here is her audition

Fantasia is excellent in this next song. This is also still on idol because I am not as familiar with her music but I do really like her. This song "I believe" is beautiful with the choir behind her. Sooo good!

Next up --> Season 5 winner was Carrie Underwood. This is her audtion video. During this season I was on my mission during this season but heard about her during my mission.
I love country music and she is one of my favorites!

really do believe this girl is a star and love her music so I have quite a few songs for you to enjoy :)

Before He cheats - SO WONDERFUL!

And of course Cowboy Casanova - this song gets stuck in my head SO BAD BUT IT IS SOOO GOOD!

This is the song I heard on the mission. One of my investigators shared it with me. I listened to the CD she gave me for the rest of my mission.

Don't think I am a bad girl listening to Carrie Underwood but it is about Jesus so it is okay, right?

Up next --> Season 5 winner was Taylor Hicks. Again I was on my mission during this season and honestly not super sad I missed this {Taylor is not my favorite} but lets see...

here is his auditon video: {not super great if you ask me, but who cares what I think right?}

Here is one of his songs : Seven Mile Breakdown. One thing I can say for him is that he looks better with the new haircut. ;)

Next up --> Season 6 winner was Jordin Sparks.

I got back into idol this season after my mission. I loved Jordin! She is young, but so fabulous!

Here is her audition video - Simon is a nut - too many sugars? - what the heck?

Here is Jordin's song S.O.S. (Let the music play)

next up --> Season 7 winner was David Archuleta, I mean David Cook. I really loved David Archuleta and was sad he did not take the win.

I did like his audtion, the kid does have talent... here it is.

Here is a more current song of David's - Straight Ahead.

I had intended on including some of my favorites who did not win in this post (namely David Archuleta:( ) But this post has been a pain in the butt - as I mentioned earlier but here is my favorite song by Archy.

This is imagine. I love it!!!!Isnt he SOOO CUTE! and no, I do not have a crush on him. :)

Next Up --> Season 8 Winner was Kris Allen

Here is Kris' Audition

This is a more recent video of Kris Allen. Live like you were dying. I really like this one. Enjoy!
