Man, I could just listen to him and listen to him. Who are these people who say he's boring? WHAT A VOICE!!! And I hear he's only been playing the piano a year and a half...and he played like that on Idol? He is SO talented!!!
I see that this is a new age of Blues. More elements to it rather than just drum beats and blues guitar solo. This is also a rare song arrangement in the mainstream (especially nowadays) therefore it sounds great. However, with Kris' voice for this song - it makes the song became greater as his feels is truly for this kind of music. He has the groove to sing new age blues. Bravo Kris!
I love his voice. It is one of those sweet, soft sounds that is just very listenable no matter what he sings. This is beautiful and I am really enjoying the pictures, too. Thanks so much fo posting.
Point taken. Many artist voices have no power, versatility, and dynamics, yet they are extremely popular. Artist like James Taylor, Bruce Hornsby and John Mayer do not possess this qualities, yet millions of people love their voices. They do, like Kris, have exceptional voices that are distincitively their own.
Today is a good day. Screaming Adam is out and the All American Pretty Boy Kris is IT!!! Out of all the contestants this year, Kris was the only TRUE artist. Not a copycat. He has REAL talent. Congrats Kris!!!
If this is any indication of what Kris will sound like on his future records, I know for a fact that my vote went to the right person. He is so talented. His voice is nuanced and amazing, and he has a bit of blues and r&b going for him. I love how calming this song is and how blissfully sweet it is.
Wow. Why wasn't this on his CD? Gorgeous song! This is nothing like Maroon 5, The Fray, Coldplay or other obvious influences on his album, just pure Kris Allen. Love it! He does need to record this.
What is significant about the review below, is that according to this editor AI hasn't found an artist with not just a good voice, but also an original one....UNTILL NOW!! Kris Allen is exactly what he's talking about...good and original voice, and he can play instruments as well as write songs, clearly established in this video and the rest of the songs on his per-idol album. Kris will be one of the best and the most unique Idols yet, just you all wait....he's going to be big!! Way to go Kris!!
Just found this review about a dvd called 'The Best & Worst of American Idol: Seasons 1-4' "If American Idol has a dirty little secret (aside from Abdul's personal life), it's that the show hasn't produced a single artist with not just a good voice but an original one--a Norah Jones, an Alicia Keys, a John Mayer, someone can play and write as well as sing. But then, that's not what the show is about; we're frequently reminded that this is "a singing competition," pure and simple..." -Sam Graham
This is great, Kris. My favourite out of the 3 pre-idol songs you've done that are one youtube (the others are 'wastin' time' and 'brand new shoes') because they guitar is softer and we can hear your voice more! I loved your performance of 'she works hard for the money' yesterday, especially the ending - the best song I've heard from you! Hope you get into the top 2.
I hope Kris WINS.He has a BEAUTIFUL voice.I'd buy his cd!!! Doesn't Kris have a beautiful kind looking smile and eyes?! He's HOT!!!! (sighs as heart beats faster and faster)
I hope the producers/writers of his debut album keep the escence of this folky/southern sound. I loved his Idol performances, but the sound that made him so unique got lost in the studio versions.
Kris Allen. hands down. Simon said he needs to be more confident. I say there's a lot of confidence behind not having to yell out songs just to get cheers.
Ya some people like him for his face but some dont. I know people who love Adam only because apparently he is hot. Some people, like me, actually love his voice and style even though its not as rememberable to some people. I remember all of the songs he sings. Some people love Adam and others like me love Kris Allen. I believe he deserves to win. Adam will get a million copies of his cd sold anyway. Vote for Kris..please.
sounds like the leader singer of a boy band. a great talent but he is joining the group of singers like him that sings popular songs. and the competition is enormous. hopefully he doesn't fade .anybody who sings jazz,blues,rock, ,soul ,broadway or even country and want to be ai,your chances are nil. % of populace who like pop songs is greater than the above combined.
Well we know who has the REAL talent. America voted for the best and the best prevailed. Adam will get old really fast. Kris can sing Adult Alternative all the way to a cross over album in country. He has a broad spectrum of popular genres he can sing. Adam....well we all know what he can do...SCREAM!!!
I LOVE ♥Kris♥. He SHINES the most!!! He can sing to me ANYDAY with that talented BEAUTIFUL voice!!!!! I know a lot of people LOVE Adam,but I don't.I HATE that screaming/screaching/wailing thing he does!! So DAMN IRRITATING!!!!
I agree, dont you hate how they muddy up the live performance when they track the studio versions. All the emotion and passion is drowning in a sea of over-instrumentation and bellowing background singers, Why do the producers think the performances, we based our voting upon, need to be "fixed up" in some way. Sometimes I think the PTB dont really know what the public want.
Wow I love this song so much. It sounds kinda sad but in a god way and I know it's actually a happy song. Can't wait til he puts this song in his album and for his next album to release. I don't understand how Adam Lambert is getting more popular than Kris and all I mean with the money cause Kris is more talented than Adam is and he sings powerful and beautiful. I love his sweet soft voice. I'm glad he won.
Cool ;D I hope Danny is gone this week but I think it will be Kris =( I don't see why so many people love Danny though! His voice is annoying to me at least.
haha YES HE WON. wasn't expecting it, i was like...yea adam would win...sigh..then HE WON! =)) i totally got shocked and ecstatic! =)) besides, i never liked adam 4 some reason. i don't like his 'opera' voice. i mean, i don't like screAMing. no offense.
kris allen is just a unique artist im so moved by his music this song by him just makes me smile feel relaxed and only think of good things ...
Beautiful song, there is something about the emotion in his songs that just makes me love his voice. Talented musician and songwriter.
Man, I could just listen to him and listen to him.
Who are these people who say he's boring?
WHAT A VOICE!!!
And I hear he's only been playing the piano a year and a half...and he played like that on Idol?
He is SO talented!!!
Beautiful, simply beautiful. I wish he could show us this on American Idol. Singer/songwriters FTW!
I see that this is a new age of Blues. More elements to it rather than just drum beats and blues guitar solo.

Love his cool mellow vibe. This is the type of music I like and Kris sings it so well.
Wow...this song showcases with I LOVE about Kris's voice.

He's cute, talented and from where I live! GO KRIS, CONWAY IS BEHIND YOU 100%! VOTE FOR KRIS!!!!

This is the best song he has sung and that includes all the songs on Idol!! If he hasn't recorded it yet he should.
this's why Kris should be Idol this year. He can write a GRAMMY-winning song!!!!.
Wow! I love this song. Hope he records it.
i love this song.
awesome song, love it
Kris is the best, he has the voice, the looks, the hot body... he is YOUR American Idol this year baby!!!
love this song
I didn't know who Adam was until he joined.
I am listening to Kris singing and not looking at the vid of him...and still loving it.
Today is a good day. Screaming Adam is out and the All American Pretty Boy Kris is IT!!!
Out of all the contestants this year, Kris was the only TRUE artist. Not a copycat. He has REAL talent. Congrats Kris!!!
I wish I could download this! Its soooo good!
OH MY...I LOVE THIS!
KRIS FTW!
Originality and Creativity!!! That's nice for a change! I hope Kris wins!!

he is sooo amazing, if he does or doesnt win this guy will make it BIG in the music inusty
i really hope it will get on his album!
I agree with raythespian, this song is beautiful. Kris really can write incredible songs, I hope that tptb at his label can see that.

Seriously want a CD of Kris right now! He is awesome! I would rather not have Hollywood touch him. He is too good to be defiled by that corruption!
love this song. his voice is amazing.
This is great, Kris. My favourite out of the 3 pre-idol songs you've done that are one youtube (the others are 'wastin' time' and 'brand new shoes') because they guitar is softer and we can hear your voice more!

I love this song so much. He is just such a good songwriter, and he really knows how to infuse emotion into his vocals.
LOVE the pictures!!=D
I hope Kris WINS.He has a BEAUTIFUL voice.I'd buy his cd!!!
Doesn't Kris have a beautiful kind looking smile and eyes?! He's HOT!!!!
(sighs as heart beats faster and faster)
I was just thinking the same thing? Why does he need Idol?
The phone lines are jammed right now for Kris....
He is just awesome.
i love that last picture of him.
with his hair all messy. ;D
but his voice is so sweet and gentle.
VOTE FOR KRIS!!!!
Beautiful Moon...Beautiful Kris. I like a couple of his other songs better, but this one is...well...beautiful.
I'm too in love with this song. AI should allow contestants to do one originial song at the end.
Instead of Kris singing a song he has already done this season, he should sing either this or Wastin' Time...both would be amazing.
I hope the producers/writers of his debut album keep the escence of this folky/southern sound. I loved his Idol performances, but the sound that made him so unique got lost in the studio versions.
Kris Allen. hands down. Simon said he needs to be more confident. I say there's a lot of confidence behind not having to yell out songs just to get cheers.

his song wastin time reminda me of a faster version of jack johnson. i like this it's cool!
Well we know who has the REAL talent. America voted for the best and the best prevailed. Adam will get old really fast. Kris can sing Adult Alternative all the way to a cross over album in country. He has a broad spectrum of popular genres he can sing. Adam....well we all know what he can do...SCREAM!!!
anyone else out there having trouble with listening on u tube today, seems it keeps pausing !
cool
I LOVE ♥Kris♥.
He SHINES the most!!!
He can sing to me ANYDAY with that talented BEAUTIFUL voice!!!!!
I know a lot of people LOVE Adam,but I don't.I HATE that screaming/screaching/wailing thing he does!!
So DAMN IRRITATING!!!!
I wonder if it's possible if this amazing song could be on his upcoming album?
This is quite NICE, actually! Bet he can release an album again, after american idol.
yeah!!!that's been stuck on my mind lately...i was wondering which actor that Kris looks like...it's FP Jr!!!
Beautiful Song!!! Where can I get this?
nice one!!!
i love it cuz my last name is Moon....haha
Kris is a great arranger, which is almost as useful as songwriter. If he makes Top 2, these 3 originals will not be on his major label release.
iT'S GONNA BE A DING-DONG!!
SKOOBY DOO AGAINST A KING KONG
i DON'T MEAN NO DISRESPECT
IT'S JUST THAT ADAM IS THE BEST
VOTE 4 hours 4 Adam!!!!
his wife, is one damn lucky wife.

I don't HATE adam.I just don't care for his style of singing.
A-freaking-MEN!
Um, I don't remember him singing this song this season?
Kradam!!!
1:36

Kris is good but Adam is better. :P I hope Kris is in the finale now, since Allison is gone he is my second favourite. I hate Danny!
Lolz cool
He's a hot hot man!!!! Wish he were gay!
he wrote it?
haha.. well said..
aww he's already married.
sorry :D
Cool ;D I hope Danny is gone this week but I think it will be Kris =( I don't see why so many people love Danny though! His voice is annoying to me at least.
haha YES HE WON. wasn't expecting it, i was like...yea adam would win...sigh..then HE WON! =)) i totally got shocked and ecstatic! =))

Adam Lambert should have won ♥
