I've been buying the studio recordings of the ones I like to show my support especially since I can't vote and these songs may not be on their first album release.  And I don't even own an i-anything so I have them converted to mp3 to listen to. But I hate how the Motown week, they only had the contestants recorded singing along with the original arrangement rather than their "changed up" version. 
I still need to get Top 8 week recordings but they tend to be available a couple of days to a week late! They lie when they say it's available for download right after the show. It's still on "pre-order" status at that point.
I loved the fact that Adam Lambert chose to sing Gary Jules' arrangement of "Mad World". And the note Adam chose to "shake" upon singing "nervous" was original and brilliant. I love the soundtrack to "Donny Darko" and they even had this version of the song used to promote the video game "Gears of War". I've actually first heard this arrangement because of the latter. There was an ad running pre-movie every time I went to catch a show from the theater before the game was even available for sale. |
Lol, I watched this on photobucket so much already, I'm addicted to it; it's hauntingly beautiful. I want to buy it, I see that they now offer both the video for 1.49 and the "album" for .99, can you rip the video if you buy it and make it into just a song?
