Who will win the American Idol crown? My vote: Adam Lambert! His 2nd and 3rd performance were superb!
I love his The Coronation Song performance -No Boundaries
Well, I think Adam came off looking better tonight. I’ll be shocked if Kris Allen ends up winning, but you never know how the judge’s critiques will effect the voting masses.

What is the world becoming? Just last week, all of us thought that swine flu or H1N1 flu is almost gone. I just read a report – “Swine Flu in Japan May Trigger Pandemic“.
USA has recorded its sixth swine flu fatality, a 55-year-old assistant principal at a school in the New York City borough of Queens. The city has closed eight schools in Queens and Brooklyn; news reports suggest that 40 other New York schools have high absentee rates.
Despite the worrisome news from New York, Schuchat said the swine flu is now spreading most quickly in the Pacific Northwest and in the Southwest. Case counts — 5,123 as of today — are “the tip of the iceberg.”
| Global: | Countries 40 | Cases 8,829 | Deaths 74 |
| U.S.: | States 48 | Cases 5,123 | Deaths 5 |

Jamie Pugh Britain’s Got Talent audition was another standout in a season that has seen so much incredible talent, not least, the overnight star Scottish singer Susan Boyle. The 37-year-old Jamie Pugh is a pizza delivery man from Gwent who auditioned at Cardiff, Wales.
By now, we know that the present occupation of the BGT contestant has nothing to do with the magnitude of the talent. The Jamie Pugh Britain’s Got Talent audition was memorable in his performance of ‘Bring Him Home’ from the musical Les Misérables.
The singer was clearly nervous, and admitted a lack of experience in public performance; in fact said this was his first time in front of an audience.
He prevailed beautifully in spite of his obvious nervousness in singing with much emotionally intensity the technically demanding and poignant song lyrics which the Jean Valjean character sings in the famed musical.
One can easily envision Jaimie Pugh pictures of future success from his performance, in spite of nervousness.
It is the expressiveness in the voice that moved the audience as the camera panned and showed TV viewers numerous reaction shots of people clearly emotionally struck by the powerful performance and the ‘Bring Him Home’ lyrics.
The BGT judges were unanimous in praise of Jamie Pugh’s performance. Amanda Holden said, ‘It is a beautiful song and that was amazing.’
Piers Morgan said, ‘I wasn’t expecting that kind of performance from you. You deliver pizzas at night, for goodness sake, and you come on this stage, one of the biggest talent shows in the world, and do a performance like that. I thought it was incredible.’
Simon Cowell said, I think I just got how important the last three minutes of your life just were, and to get the reaction you just got from the audience must be unbelievable.’ Cowell went on to express the importance that the singer develop confidence and belief in himself. ‘When you’re good, you’re good,’ he summed up.
