American Idol 8 Top 5 Kris Allen “The Way You Look Tonight”

Kris Allen chose to sing “The Way You Look Tonight” for Rat Pack Week.  Mentor Jamie Foxx said that Kris is already an artist and said that Kris is someone he would do a record with right now.  He also said that the audience would be blown away by the performance.

First let me say that Kris looked pretty great.  It was a smooth and effortless performance and I appreciated the fact that he remained true to the time period by not trying to update the song too much.  I had high hopes for Kris this week because I feel it is a genre of music that works well with his voice.  I wasn’t disappointed.

Randy said that it was Kris’ best performance to date because he took his time, told a story and had nice vocals.  Kara said that Kris has set the technical standard so incredibly high for the evening.  Paula said that he’s made a transition from the boy-next-door to a handsome, sophisticated person.  Simon said that it was a little bit “wet” because it was like taking a well-trained Spaniel for a walk because it was safe.  Umm… okay…
