American Idol 10: Top 13 Studio Versions

.. and so it begins!! Here are the studio versions of this year's Top 13 singing songs of their favorite artists.

In prior years, songs weren’t made available until after the elimination show, and only as individual download. Now, there will also be a compilation album with the 13 tracks from the contestants. Clearly, American Idol seems very keen to strike while the iron is hot. This will be really interesting.

RANDOM THOUGHTS: Of course, everyone sounds better than their live performances, but I have to admit that I'm floored with all of their recording voices. Pia Toscano's recording is just unreal. Her high notes are incredible and she sure has a good recording voice. I'm quite obsessed with Naima Adedapo's reggae breakdown. Both Casey Abram and Scott McCreery sound great in their studio versions. I suspect Paul McDonald will be this year's Jason Castro - somewhat shaky live performances, but a wonderful recording artist with a truly lovely tone. I also like the contemporary arrangement of Stefano Langone and Thia Megia's songs. Lauren Alaina, on the hand, sounds surprisingly generic and James Durbin sound terribly thin in his recording.

Casey Abrams: With A Little Help From My Friends
Naima Adedapo: Umbrella
Lauren Alaina: Any Man Of Mine
James Durbin: Maybe I'm Amazed
Ashthon Jones: When You Tell Me That You Love Me
Stefano Langone: Lately
Jacob Lusk: I Believe I Can Fly
Scotty McCreery: The River
Paul McDonald: Come Pick Me Up
Thia Megia: Smile
Haley Reinhart: Blue
Karen Rodriguez: I Could Fall In Love
Pia Toscano: All By Myself

How do you convert a m4a into an mp3? I'm not able to listen to the m4a's.

And thanks for posting all of this

DAM THE NATION said...

Amber: One possible way is to convert it via Zamzar.com. That's the online file converter I use so that I don't need to download any program to do it. It's pretty easy. :)

Amber said...

Thank You!!!! I'll try that.

DAM THE NATION said...

Amber: No problem. :)

When u will put the live performance of AI 10 Top 13 :)
Does I-tunes put live performance of contestants on sale like studio one ?

DAM THE NATION said...

Denyd25: I will not put the live versions of their performances. iTunes don't usually put it out. :)

can you try putting the songs in one folder like a zip or rar and use mediafire? i think mediafire is faster than rapidshare

DAM THE NATION said...

Anonymous: I think I'll stick with Multiupoad just because people can pick where they can download it. You have other options than Rapidshare with Multiupload.
