My Top 30 Songs of 2009 – Number 28
Dec0
28) Adam Lambert – Time for Miracles
As I mentioned before, Adam Lambert was going to show up on this list. For fans, I guess they would be disappointed that this song didn’t show up later. The song showed up on 2009’s music scene a little late for it to make a big impact. Then “For Your Entertainment” came out and the song just lost all it’s steam.
Like “Happy” yesterday, this song is associated with a movie, this one being connected to 2012. I almost wanted to watch the film until I saw Amanda Peet’s face. That woman is a horrible actress and she deserves to die in every movie. Luckily, the two movies I’ve seen her in (X-Files’ second movie and Identity) she did. Back to the song… The song is very similar to to Aerosmith’s “Don’t Want To Miss A Thing” explosions and all and I think Adam does a strong job with what he was given. It may not become the next “My Heart Will Go On” but I’m sure that there will be people out there performing the song for recitals or auditions.
It’s hard to judge American Idol contestants right after they finish their season because their first album tends to be very produced and hand picked for them. They don’t have a great amount of control with their career. I see why this song emerged before “For Your Entertainment” because this one fits more of his American Idol performances.
My Top 30 Songs of 2009 – Starts Tomorrow!

Tomorrow starts my countdown of my top 30 favorite songs of 2009. Most of them will actually be big hits and will probably be very obvious. There are a handful (on the upper half of the list) that may not have been the biggest of hits, but I fell for them as well. I guess this countdown can become, “How high did the Wonder Girls rank?”
Either way, I found that compiling this list of songs actually gelled really easily. I’ll post a video on how quickly I put together the list (probably on the 1st or 2nd of January). Insert story of backwards E here.
Of course there were tons and tons of songs that were catchy that didn’t make the list. All the artists only show up once on this list so songs like “Halo,” “My Life Would Suck Without You,” “Funhouse,” S.O.S (Let the music play),” “Boom Boom Pow,” and “I Hate this part” didn’t make the list in lieu of songs by said artists that I deemed better or personally more favorable.
Five songs that didn’t make the list because I just found out about them:
5. Brad Paisley – Welcome To The Future – Okay, I’m not the biggest of Country music fans, but this song is oddly catchy. Brad has a strong voice and it’s accompanied by “futuristic sounds.” There’s a big plus because I like the references to Pac-Man and the Philippines.

I recently had the chance to read an article about Adam Lambert’s new album. I have to say that the album cover is such a strong throwback to 80s/70s records. The font, coloring, photoshopping and everything just makes it look old.
I gotta say that I give Adam Lambert a lot of credit for not being ashamed of having a cover that looks really gay.
