Kris Allen debut “Live Like We’re Dying”

American Idol season 8 winner Kris Allen has released his debut single “Live Like We’re Dying”, off from his upcoming album (no title yet) which is out on November 17, 2009.

"Live Like We're Dying" Lyrics.....(Below)

Sometimes we fall down, Can't get back up
We're hidin' behind skin that's too tough
How come we dont say I love you enough
Til its too late.... its not too late

Our hearts are hungry for a food that won't come
But we could make a feast from these crumbs
And we're all starin' down the barrel of a gun
So if your life flashed before you what would you wish you would have done

Gotta start

Looking at the hands of the time we been given
If this is all we got then we gotta start thinkin'
If every second counts on the clock thats tickin'
Gotta live like we're dyin'
We only got 864 hundred seconds in a day
To turn it all around or to throw it all away
Gotta tell em that we love em while we got the chance to say
Gotta
Live like we're dyin'

And if your plane fell out of the skies
Who would you call with your last goodbye
Should be so careful who we let fall out of our lives
Or when we long for absolution there'll be no one on the line

You never know a good thing til its gone
You never see a crash til its head on
Wny do we think we're right when we're dead wrong
You never know a good thing til its gone

Adam Lambert: "I'm Gay" Rolling Stone Magazine

American Idol runner-up Adam Lambert graces the cover of the latest issue of Rolling Stone Magazine and now he will not keep the public speculating as he proudly announced that he is Gay.

"I don’t think it should be a surprise for anyone to hear I’m gay. I’ve been living in Los Angeles for eight years as a gay man. I’ve been at clubs drunk making out with somebody in the corner.”

Using Rolling Stone to finally reveal his sexuality.

“Right after the finale, I almost started talking about it to the reporters, but I thought, ‘I’m going to wait for Rolling Stone, that will be cooler. I’m proud of my sexuality.”

Adam is eying Kris Allen but he is taken.

“They put me with the cute guy. Distracting! He’s the one guy I found attractive in the whole group on the show: nice, nonchalant, pretty and totally my type — except that he has a wife. I mean he’s open-minded and liberal, but he’s definitely 100% straight.”
