Dancing with the Stars Finals

So who do you think will win the mirror ball trophy as the Season 8 champion of Dancing with the Stars? Here’s the “group” paso doble for a side-by-side comparison of all the dancers (in HD no less!!).

My votes went to Gilles Marini and Cheryl Burke. Of the DWTS finalists, the expectation and anticipation level for this couple outshines the others. Balanced choreography is the trademark of Cheryl Burke who could be the first three time DWTS champion. Need to watch tonight to find out.

Differences Between iTunes and Amazon Music Stores

, , ,

Recently, I’ve been buying a fair share of digital music from Amazon’s MP3 Music Store. Prices are good with some unbeatable, limited time deals. But besides the MP3 versus AAC formats, there are some other differences between the two music stores.

Check out this comparison of Green Day’s 21st Century Breakdown.  Amazon had the digital download for $5, but it’s now $11.99 with 9 customer reviews.

green-day-on-amazoniTunes is also selling this new release for $14.99 but with 3918 customer reviews!

green-day-on-itunes

This is a change for Amazon which usually has the majority of customer reviews. In this case, it looks like the music community is more active on iTunes (but I bought the songs from Amazon). ;)  Wonder which store has a better deal on Eminem’s Relapse.

Kanye West Covered by The Fray

, ,

I don’t follow American Idol but heard that Kris did a cover of Heartless by Kanye West. Seemingly, The Fray also did a cover of the song which isn’t too bad. See for yourself.

Still like Kanye’s original version? You do know that you can pick up Kanye’s 808 & Heartbreak for only $5 for a limited time on Amazon, right? And for comparison, here’s the original version of Heartbreak.

Nike Trainer Reborn

, , , ,

Back in the day, Bo Jackson and John McEnroe wore Nike Air Trainers and made them classic kicks. Taking from this inspiration and enlisting Bryan Clay, Adrian Peterson, Larry Fitzgerald, Troy Polamalu, Brandon Roy, and Amare Stoudemire, Nike has given life to the Nike Trainer 1.

The Trainer 1 features Nike DiamondFLX, “a patent-pending outsole system that provides flexibility and support through multi-directional movement,” a Max Air unit, and FlyWire.

These kicks release on July 1, 2009 unless you’re a supporter of boxer Manny Pacquiao. The Pacman and Nike teamed up for a special version of the Trainer 1 that went to his friends and family and with 100 pairs sold in select stores.
