American Idol: Kree Harrison and Candice Glover Make it to the Finals

Posted on

Next week, Kree Harrison and Candice Glover are going to battle it out for the ultimate title in music – the winner of American Idol. I was honestly shocked to see Angie Miller go home tonight. As much as I hate to say this, but after last night’s performances, the odds of Kree making it to the finale seemed dismal. She was even shocked, and if you look closely, you can see Kree mouth ‘holy shit’ several times after Angie’s elimination.

Here are two of the best performances from last night. Team Kree for the win!

Man of Steel – Official Trailer #3

Just another reason why I love D.C. Can’t freakin’ wait until this comes out!

Rihanna – Stay (Lisa Lavie Cover)

Here is yet another flawless cover, performed by none other than Lisa Lavie. I’m a huge fan of hers, and anything she touches (erm – sings) turns to gold.

Sorry to all you Rihanna fans, but there is something about her voice that is extremely annoying. It’s actually unpleasant to the ears. Thank god she has a remarkable team behind her to mask that glaring flaw that is known as her voice.

All hail Ms. Lavie, but before you do, check out her flawless cover of Stay.

Justin Timberlake – Mirrors (Jake Barker Cover)

I’m obsessed with JT’s latest single, Mirrors. It’s actually my favourite song he’s ever done. The entire 20/20 Experience album is a pleasant surprise, and I’m liking each song more and more I listen to it.

I’ve been following Jake Barker for years, and this dude is definitely talented. And there is no denying the JT vibe you get when he sings. While he does a great job on this cover vocally, the video is beyond cheesy, especially the end. Still a huge fan, Mr. Barker!

Kree Harrison – Crying (Top 10 Performance)

Last night, the top 10 had the entire catalogue of American Idol performances from previous winners, including songs they performed while competing on the show. Kree Harrison chose to sing Carrie Underwood’s rendition of Crying, originally sung by Roy Orbison. I think she did a phenomenal job, and while Angie Miller is the clear favourite, Kree is, in my opinion, the underdog, and the one to watch out for in the competition.

Check out her performance of Crying below (skip to 0:21 to get past the annoying American Idol app)!

Iron Man 3 – Official Trailer #2

Iron Man 3 is almost upon us. What a better way to countdown than to watch two and a half minutes of pure awesomeness. My favourite part? When Iron Man calls upon his own personal army. Literally gave me goosebumps. I’m still not sold on Mandarin as a villain. Let’s see if he lives up to the hype.

Watch the latest official trailer below!

Zoanette Johnson – Circle of Life

So last night’s American Idol performances from the girls were uninspired, boring, and they simply sucked. Except for one girl – Zoanette Johnson.

She simply has everything going for her. The look. The voice. The whole package. And she seems genuine about it all. When I heard the first words come out of her mouth as she started to sing, I immediately thought to myself, “THE LION KING!!!”.

Check out the amazing performance of Zoanette Johnson’s rendition of Circle of Life below!

HTC One revealed: the ultimate smartphone?

HTC’s newest flagship smartphone has finally been announced. I can safely say that this phone is a beast, and will most definitely be my next smartphone.

I’ve used HTC’s One X for quite a long time, and it has easily been my favourite smartphone I’ve used to date. And believe me, I’ve gone through a countless amount of smartphones over the years. So what does HTC do? They simply step up the game and make what I believe to be is a fusing of the most popular smartphones currently in the market while adding their own style and flair to their next flagship.

All the specs are in check. You have a gorgeous 4.7″, 1080p display that will be the best on the market when the device gets released in March. The processor utilized is a next-gen quad-core Snapdragon 600, which is no slouch. HTC is also claiming that their ‘UltraPixel’ camera will take unparalleled images, especially in low light situations (Nokia Lumia 920, anyone?). They’ve also included optical image stabilization, which promises clear images even to those with unsteady hands.

What I’m most excited about is the New Sense that HTC is shipping with the device. Alongside the Android Jelly Bean software, HTC will ‘skin’ their device with the latest version of Sense (5.0 to be exact). It’s a whole new take on the Sense skin, and I am really starting to love the clean lines and fresh interface of the GUI.

Sorry, Motorola RAZR HD LTE. It’s been a good run. HTC, release this phone already so you can take my monies. Thanks.

The Great Gatsby – Official Trailer #2

So I’m super psyched about seeing one of my all-time favourite books, The Great Gatsby (Fahrenheit 451 being my other), being turned in a big budget movie (unlike the Mia Farrow version). You know what would be totally amazing? If they chose Lana Del Rey’s National Anthem to be a part – any part – of the film. Everything about it oozes The Great Gatsby, especially the theme of Old Money and New Money.

If you haven’t seen the second trailer (or Del Rey’s song), check both of them out below!

Mortal Kombat: Legacy – Season 2 Trailer

Finally! Season 2 of Mortal Kombat: Legacy is almost upon us. I absolutely loved the first season, as it was gritty and realistic, all while keeping within the Mortal Kombat universe. If the trailer is indicative of what the season is going to look like, sign me up.
