10. i don't feel like dancin'
artist: scissor sisters
during my 4-month work-out in fitness first, i would always light up whenever i hear this song played during the cooling-down. i just LOVE this song!
the funny thing about this track, is that i had no idea who the real artist is. the first time i heard this on the radio, i immediately associated it to aiza seguerra because it was sung simply and with no belting out (which is so cliche among the young singers today). not until it was the year-end countdown last december, that i found out that it is actually sarah geronimo who really sang this song! silly me! but still, the melody and the lyrics are really catchy.
8. irreplaceable
artist: beyonce
probably the most sung out of all the songs listed here (even parents sing along to it!), i don't dare question the talent of beyonce...her vocal acrobatics and belting out and her originality and style in singing is no doubt one of the most innovative talent we ever had in years...a little over the top sometimes, yet beyonce always bring what we want from her - music, talent and entertainment...
7. wait for you
artist: elliott yamin
a track from one of my favorite american idols, elliot yamin proved that if you have the passion and the talent, you can succeed. probably one of the underdogs during the competition, elliot managed to stay long enough to prove to america that he CAN SING! and we'll probably hear him sing and share his love for music through his cds...
6. and i am tellin' you (i'm not goin')
artist: jennifer hudson
the song that catapulted jennifer hudson (another american idol alum) to being a certified hollywood star, and also marked lakisha jones status in the recently concluded american idol season 6, this song will keep on playing and will not go away for quite a while...
one of the hardest songs to sing, it first caught my attention when martin nievera sang it on ASAP as part of his anniversary album. admittedly, martin also noted that it IS a very hard song to sing, yet he seem to have sung it effortlessly (martin still have some of 'it' left in him). recently, i heard a another version of it (a duet by jed madela and gary valenciano) and it was fantastic!
4. i'm here
artist: fantasia
possibly, my MOST favorite american idol, fantasia made her mark (not only on the american idol stage) but on broadway! singing this song with the emotions and conviction of a season performer, i wish fantasia the best in her career...more cds please!!!
2. taking chances
artist: celine dion
when i chance upon celine dion on the view, she sang two new songs from her latest album...and this track is just ---AMAZING!!! celine proved that she still and always have IT!!! plus, the lyrics and message of this song is so engaging (well, at least for me...) that you can't help but --- take a chance...cheesy!
the lyrics, the melody...beginning til end...is a story in itself...i think this song not only showcases her amazing talent, but also shows her passion and love for music...can't get enough of this song...

5. a hard habit to break
artist: martin nievera / jed madela & gary valenciano
one of the hardest songs to sing, it first caught my attention when martin nievera sang it on ASAP as part of his anniversary album. admittedly, martin also noted that it IS a very hard song to sing, yet he seem to have sung it effortlessly (martin still have some of 'it' left in him). recently, i heard a another version of it (a duet by jed madela and gary valenciano) and it was fantastic!

3. wasted
artist: carrie underwood
the first time i heard carrie underwood perform this on the american idol stage, i just can't stop listening to it. it's on my itunes, my cellphone...it's the way she performed it onstage, it's the quality of her voice, just everything about carrie and how she sings...like simon said, "carrie has the likeability factor" ---to the highest degree! and to top it off, the lyrics of the song (though i haven't had this experience yet) is very well-written and timely...one of the best tracks in carrie's six-time platinum debut album!

1. no one
artist: alicia keys
no one - can ever top the a.keys reggae performance on the 2007 mtv video music awards of her first single from her latest album, as i am...and nothing can top this track on my list...artist: alicia keys
the lyrics, the melody...beginning til end...is a story in itself...i think this song not only showcases her amazing talent, but also shows her passion and love for music...can't get enough of this song...
