American Idol Michael Jackson Tribute Songs in Honor of MJ King of Pop

American Idol is doing a special tribute to Michael Jackson on Monday, June 29th at 8 p.m EST. in honor of the King of Pop who passed away on Thursday, June 25, 2009.

American Idol is re-airing the American Idol Season 8 Top 13 episode of Michael Jackson songs, originally aired on March 10, 2009 on FOX.

This was the first time that American Idol had done an entire evening of Michael Jackson’s music, and I’m very happy that Idol is doing this special in memory of MJ.

Gawd, I can’t believe Michael Jackson is dead. Here’s the list of songs that will be performed on Monday’s special tribute to Michael Jackson:

• Lil Rounds – “The Way You Make Me Feel” VIDEO

• Scott MacIntyre – “Keep the Faith” VIDEO

• Danny Gokey – “Pretty Young Thing” VIDEO

• Michael Sarver – “You Are Not Alone” VIDEO

• Jasmine Murray – “I’ll Be There” VIDEO

• Kris Allen – “Remember the Time” VIDEO

• Allison Iraheta – “Give in to Me” VIDEO

• Anoop Desai – “Beat It” VIDEO

• Jorge Nunez – “Never Can Say Goodbye” VIDEO

• Megan Joy – “Rockin’ Robin” VIDEO

• Adam Lambert – “Black and White” VIDEO

• Matt Giraud – “Human Nature” VIDEO

• Alexis Grace – “Dirty Diana” VIDEO

The news of Michael Jackson’s death sent shock waves around the world, with Jackson fans in complete shock and disbelief that the King of Pop has died. Michael Jackson was only two years older than me, and I grew up listening to MJ’s music from the time I was little. Our family used to watch the Jackson Five variety show on television when Michael Jackson and his siblings were little boys and girls (LaToya and Janet), and we’ve never wavered in our admiration and deep respect for the genius that is Michael Jackson.

Michael Jackson fans are rushing to buy up as much Michael Jackson memorabilia as possible, and I don’t blame them one bit. I already have quite a lot of Michael Jackson music and the collection just keeps getting bigger. In my heart, Michael Jackson will live on forever not only as the King of Pop, but also someone who was born into the same family religion as I did.

If you ever watched the show on television years ago describing Michael Jackson’s early childhood and the abuse he suffered that was detailed in the story, you know what I’m referring to. I choose to remember Michael Jackson as not only the King of Pop, but also someone whose early childhood was very similar to my own – except for the music career part. Michael Jackson will never be forgotten.

Tune into Fox on Monday to watch the American Idol Tribute to Michael Jackson.

Susan Boyle “Memory”-Susan Boyle Semi Final Britain’s Got Talent Performance

Susan Boyle sang “Memory” from the Musical Cats during Britain’s Got Talent Semi Finals performances, and the internet is abuzz with people searching for Susan Boyle Memory YouTube Video. Well, here ya go! Susan Boyle has been making the rounds, appearing on like Oprah and Good Morning America, that it’s at least possible that people will tire of hearing about Susan Boyle. I hope not – Susan Boyle has a phenomenal singing voice, and it’s about time that American Idol big-shots take notice and raise the age restriction for the upcoming Season 9 auditions and beyond.

American Idol iTunes Downloads: Kris Allen, Chris Allen, Adam Lambert, Adam Lamberg

American Idol iTunes Downloads for Kris Allen or Chris Allen? Adam Lambert or Adam Lamberg? American Idol’s Season 8 Top 2 finalists, Kris Allen and Adam Lambert, have so many “huge” fans that Adam Lambert fans and fans of Kris Allen can’t seem to spell their names right.

Doing a search for “Adam Lamberg American Idol” will bring you search results that say “Adam Lamberg Sings Michael Jackson’s Black or White”, including an Adam Lamberg Facebook page, supporting Adam Lambert. Adam Lamberg? Seriously people, it’s spelled Adam Lambert, with a “T” not a “G”, but I digress. A search for “Chris Allen American Idol” will bring you search results with much the same drivel, but just look at the Kris Allen Wiki profile page and the Adam Lambert Wiki page to learn the differences.

Kris Allen “No Boundaries” and Adam Lambert “No Boundaries” searches should come as no surprise to American Idol fans, since Kris Allen and Adam Lambert have been rocking the Top 100 iTunes Charts since Kris Allen won American Idol Season 8, and the iTunes music downloads just keep on coming, as do downloads on Amazon.com.

American Idol iTunes Downloads and American Idol Amazon.com MP3 downloads, along with products, posters, apparel and accessories like Kris Allen T-Shirts and Adam Lambert T-Shirts are the current internet buzz.

The Adam Lambert posters are HOT products for Lambert fans, as are the Kris Allen posters for teen/tween and adult fans alike.

• Kris Allen – “Season 8 Favorites” on iTunes
  
• Kris Allen “No Boundaries” on iTunes
• Kris Allen – “No Boundaries” on Amazon
• Adam Lambert – “Season 8 Favorites” on iTunes
• Adam Lambert – “No Boundaries” on iTunes
• Adam Lambert – “No Boundaries” on Amazon

Adam Lambert’s “Season 8 Favorites performances” was leading Kris Allen’s “Season 8 Favorites performances” and “iTunes Pass” last time I checked. It does it appear that there are more single-buying Kris Allen fans than album-buying Kris fans. Adam Lambert fans are more likely to be album-buying fans than single-buying fans, perhaps due to teenage fans not having disposable income or credit cards to purchase complete album collections versus older adult fans.
