"Idol" Battle Redux: First Videos From Adam Lambert and Kris Allen

The Battle Continues - Can There Be Only One?

We watched them all spring, the unlikely friends, taking stage week after week, locked in a Highlander style battle for the hearts of America. In the end, America went hottie twink over studly goth. But by then it hardly mattered - they were both rock stars. And now they're proving it.

We've got music videos from both of them in advance of their new albums. Adam leads with a movie soundtrack, while Kris comes with his first single. Which one is going to launch them into the stratosphere of Carrie Underwood?

First up is Adam Lambert, with his video from the disaster flick from out director Roland Emmerich, 2012. "Time For Miracles" features visuals that only $200 million can buy. But it's not precisely classic Adam Lambert, like we're likely to get from his album.

Then we have Kris Allen with his debut single, "Live Like We're Dying" which is a very Jason Mraz-style tune to my ear. It's got a great hook, and it's been stuck in my head since the first time I played it. Still, it's not precisely what I think of from Kris' time on Idol.

So which song does it for you? Which gets you most excited for their albums?
