Katy Perry American Idol VIDEO!

Katy Perry American Idol - Last night was elimination night at American Idol, and well, we know now that Danny Gokey was voted off… But we also got to see a performance by the hot and sexy Katy Perry, who sang “Waking Up in Vegas”.

She started the show by showing her Elvis-style cape with the name of Adam Lambert, I’m suspecting he’s her favorite, and of course this lead to the same old controversy of advertising a contestant.

Many people say that Katy is just a beautiful girl, but well here we think her music has a lot of freshness and she looks also like a good entertainer. It’s fun to look at her shows.

Here you can check the Katy Perry American Idol video.

paul-davis.jpg

Paul Davis had his biggest hit back in 1978 with the song “I Go Crazy” which stayed in the Billboard Top 100 for 40 weeks and was a Top 10 single. Despite the success he had, he was always a simple man, more comfortable at home than under the fame spotlight. Other of his songs include “Ride’em Cowboy” and “Do Right”

“He didn’t set out to be famous and he didn’t relish traveling and touring,” said Art Matthews, past owner of a local radio station. “He was very much a homebody. A nocturnal person who enjoyed people and his music. He was every bit as normal as everyone else whose talent happened to be associated with a high profile industry.”

Matthews said Meridian lost a great talent adding: “None of us are promised a tomorrow. Paul lived his life to the fullest each and every day.”

Here’s the video of his greatest hit “I Go Crazy”. Rest in peace Paul.
