Haley Reinhart, Carrie Underwood, Adam Lambert, and Kris Allen All Have New Albums Out!

New albums galore! Plenty of Idol alums have been releasing albums this year, including Carrie Underwood; season 8 winner, Kris Allen; Kris' runner-up, Adam Lambert; and season 10 fan favorite, Haley Reinhart. All of their albums have been selling well, with Carrie and Adam's each having a run at the top of the Billboard chart, Kris' album expected to start in the top 20, while Haley has a chance of squeaking in a top 10 Billboard debut. All of the albums spent quite a while in the iTunes top 10, with Carrie and Adam's peaking at #1, Haley's at #4, and Kris' around #5. Also, all of the albums have been doing great review-wise. Carrie, Adam, and Kris' albums all have 4.5/5 stars on iTunes while Haley's has 5/5 stars.

Personally, my favorite would have to be Haley's debut album, Listen Up!. However, I love Carrie's Blown Away and Adam's Trespassing. Sadly, I have not had a chance to listen to Kris' Thank You Camellia yet, but I'm sure I'll love it.

So, Idolheads, which album is your favorite? Also, which of the albums should we do a review for? All of them? None of them? Sound off in the comments!

How This Season WILL End

This is the first of a 2 part post; I will say how the season will end, and how it should end. So, let's begin!


We're still in the boring beginning of the live shows where there aren't any shocking eliminations, only well, they had to go's. So, now that Jeremy is gone, only Jermaine and DeAndre to go home before we get to the fun eliminations.

Sadly, I think that either Elise and Kelly Clarkson Erika will get eliminated early, and (hopefully) Heejun will be joining them. After that, get ready to see early favorite Shannon (unless she does as bad as last week sooner) and no-screen-time Joshua Ledet sent packing. Don't get me wrong, I love both of them, but Shannon's off-key singing will have to stop this week and I think that Joshua just reminds America a little bit too much of the 2011 disaster that was Jacob Lusk.

After that, it will become apparent that Jessica and Hollie cannot both be there, so I think that the much more talented but not nearly as praised Hollie will have to leave the Idol stage. Fourth place will be between Skylar and Colton, but Skylar will just squeak by and finish third, while teenage girls all over the world will be crying into their Justin Bieber pillowcases, mourning the loss of Colton Dixon on their TV's. The finale will be between Phillip² and Jessica Sanchez. Obviously, Phillip will win because a female is never allowed to win this show again.


There you have it, my 2012 Idol predictions! Be looking out for part 2: How This Season Should End
