The Kris Allen Appreciation Thread - American Idol

smellyadam · 01-03-2009, 22:33

Personally I really like him but I've realised there's been a backlash on here over why he got in...

Still I thought after his Man In The Mirror he deserved a thread of his own. Him and Allison are my personal favourites so I'm really rooting for them both!

His performance:
First: still trying to locate one that isn't just audio lol
Second: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=mUGIxIrsazo not the best quality but it does the job

His mp3's:

Allison Iraheta Appreciation Thread

Lofgrenfan · 01-03-2009, 23:46

I'm interested in hearing more of him.

twinkletoez · 02-03-2009, 00:48

I thought he definately deserved to get through, and he did really well after getting so little airtime! Also a new Allison fan!

Kris has got a verison of Somewhere Over The Rainbow on youtube as well, it's really good!

Good to see some support from Kris on here

He does a good version of hallelujah also. Not good with links, sorry.

trinity28 · 03-03-2009, 20:03

i hope he does well

smellyadam · 03-03-2009, 20:33

I youtubed but cannot find Hallelujah

I really want to hear it too lol
I'll keep looking and post if I find!

ditzy_kimi · 04-03-2009, 03:22

I love Kris - he has a fantastic voice and it is really lovely to see someone go through to the top 12 that hasn't been hyped up and featured as much as some the others (e.g. Adam Lambert, Danny Gokey (who I do like also) Norman Gentle/Nick Mitchell etc...) It obviously shows that the viewers liked his performance and voice, compared to some of the others in the group who have had more coverage such as Megan and Matt B and Matt G.

He sang Man In The Mirror which is one of my favourite songs and I thought he did amazingly. No-one will ever sing it as well as the original, but I love how he sang it. I keep playing it over and over again

.

Lots of appreciation for Kris here! I really hope he goes far in American Idol and gains lots of public support because I think he is fantastic, and that there is a lot more to him than we have seen so far.

Sorry folks, it was "somewhere over the rainbow" I meant (another song Jason Castro sang last year).

ditzy_kimi · 19-03-2009, 22:13

It seems like Kris doesn't have much support on here.

I've heard the studio version of To Make You Feel My Love and it is amazing. It's one of my favourite songs and he sang it really well. I still cannot stop playing his version of Man in the mirror (another song I adore).

Kris picks songs really well to suit his voice (which I love love love), but changes the songs to suit his voice.

I really hope he stays in for many weeks to come and has more support in America. He is one of my favourites for this season.

Good luck Kris

Frank823 · 20-03-2009, 22:44

He may not have the best voice in the competition, but I think he's one of the most (if not the most) marketable, current performers.

smellyadam · 22-03-2009, 11:40

I love him. Make You Feel My Love was AMAZING. He definately deserves to be in the top 5 at least. He won't win, or at least he shouldn't as there are better people in the competition but hopefully he will get a record deal out of all this. And he is so hot!

, much hotter than Adam ...

twinkletoez · 22-03-2009, 22:34

He could be the underdog. I'm hoping for top fourish, cos I don't think he'll win. To Make You Feel My Love was the best of the night.

ArtyAttack · 22-03-2009, 22:54

I thought he was the best of the night. Loved his performance and the recorded version is beautiful.

Orexis · 22-03-2009, 22:56

scddwts · 22-03-2009, 23:23

He was great this week.

Frank823 · 28-03-2009, 01:43

I thought he was awesome this week. I hope he goes at least to the top 5.

twinkletoez · 28-03-2009, 19:15

He was brilliant this week (as usual), and his studio recording is amazing too!
I hope he is the underdog. If he carries on like he is, he could do very very well.

deano8856 · 28-03-2009, 19:24

Kris to win tyvm

He's awesome, and I'm probably the only one here who thinks this, but he sounds like Sam Nixon from Pop Idol 2, and I wanted him to win, he was awesome

So yeah, kris to win plz

FleetSeb · 29-03-2009, 00:19

He was really good last week, and to be honest has been since the semis. I would really like to see him in the final 5. He always puts his own spin on a song and has really impressed me recently. It doesn't hurt his chances that he's the heartthrob of the season either...

broadshoulder · 29-03-2009, 15:14

Over on 'Vote for the Worst' they are taking bets on how long Kris Allens marriage is going to last...

They are sods on that forum but it is very funny. And how can you take the thing seriously?

He does a bit!
Sam was my favourite too! The first time I ever properly supported someone!

FleetSeb · 02-04-2009, 20:48

Surprised nobody has mentioned Kris after Tuesday night, his performance was awesome and the best of the night

caz789 · 02-04-2009, 21:29

I like him more each week, he shows originality and is obviously musical.

A couple of clips I was watching the other day:

O Holy Night
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=rTvesVoV64g

Beautiful Moon (his own song)
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=bErXVBLpkB8

He's roomates with Adam and they get on really well.
Some interviews where they talk about it in the top 9 "confessional" interviews

I think he's gonna win... he's growing each week and voters are usually a sucker for the journey story
